After defeating the Suns, the Warriors coaching staff immediately worked overtime to meet overnight to come up with a solution.
At this stage, the Warriors' lineup is still very good, and they have not reached the point of making trades.
If Ellis can be convinced and a balanced approach can be found, the Warriors will be even stronger.
After some discussions, the coaching staff decided to talk to Sun Yi, Curry and Ellis respectively to hear their thoughts before making future plans.
The next day, head coach Nelson first called Monta Ellis to the office for communication.
"Monta, you should know the reason why I came to you, let me tell you what you think." Old Nelson said first.
"Coach, I feel that my position in the team has been challenged, and the team's style of play has affected my interests." Ellis said firmly.
"Then how should the team play?" Old Nelson asked.
"The team should develop tactics around me and give me a lot of ball rights. I will bring the team to victory." Ellis said confidently.
"We've tried it before, but it didn't help us win. I can't satisfy you with this suggestion."
After Nelson rejected Ellis, he began to draw a pie.
"Our goal this season is to take another step forward, and that requires everyone to work together and make some necessary sacrifices."
"Monta, you have worked hard in the league for so many years, but you have received very few honors. This will have a great impact on your status in the league. Don't you want to be compared with Kobe?"
Seeing Ellis's expression, Nelson felt amused and continued: "For our common goal, you should make some changes. You should do this in the next game..."
Ellis heard that Nelson told him to play without the ball, and he was extremely confused and couldn't make a decision for a while.
Nelson saw Ellis' difficulty and said: "I guarantee that you are still the core of the Warriors, and this will never change."
After hearing this, Xiao Gongju thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
After getting rid of Ellis, Nelson came to talk to Curry.
Curry learned of the coaching staff's upcoming tactical adjustments and said he could make sacrifices and play without the ball.
He learned to be patient and wait in college and not to rush to the top.
Old Nelson felt that Curry was very sensible, so he comforted him and told him not to take it to heart and just fight him as he did before.
After giving Curry reassurance, Nelson called in Sun Yi for some communication.
"Coach, this is not something I should consider. I just need to do what I should do. The core players are not important to me." Sun Yi replied truthfully.
"Sun, don't think too much, I just want to hear your opinion." Old Nelson said with a smile.
He is very satisfied with the attitude of Sun Yi and Curry. In fact, as long as Ellis is dealt with, the internal conflicts in the team will be solved.
After a friendly exchange, Nelson issued an eviction order and sent Sun Yi to continue training.
This tripartite conversation was very successful. On the surface, the internal conflicts within the team were resolved, but the specific situation after that remains to be tested by time.

…
On November 7, the Warriors came to Chicago to challenge the Bulls away from home.
At this stage, the Bulls have started with 4 wins and 0 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
The Bulls were able to get off to such a great start thanks to their offseason signings.
Not only did they invite Tom Thibodeau as the head coach, they also signed Carlos Boozer in the free market, which greatly improved the Bulls' strength.
This game can be described as a strong showdown, testing the strength of both sides, so both teams are bound to win.
After the entrance ceremony, the game started quickly, and the referee signaled the starting players of both sides to come on.
The starting lineup sent by the Bulls is: Rose, Keith Bogans, Luol Deng, Boozer, Noah.
The starting lineup sent by the Warriors is: Curry, Ellis, Sun Yi, David Lee, Chandler.
During the jump ball session, Noah roared, jumped up hard, hit the basketball first and moved back to the backcourt, giving the Bulls the first opportunity to attack.
After receiving the pass, Rose quickly advanced towards the frontcourt.
Curry stood at the top of the arc, waiting for Rose to arrive.
However, if you want to guard against the peak "Rose", even if the primary school students are active in defense, it will be useless.
The Warriors coaching staff has already thought about this defensive strategy.
In the high post area on the right, Sun Yi took a few steps back, preparing in advance to help defend against double teams.
After Rose came outside the three-point line, he observed the position of his teammates and immediately passed the ball.
Luol Deng, who was standing at a 45° angle outside the right three-point line, received the pass and jumped directly to shoot.
At this moment, Sun Yi, who came quickly, rushed forward and stretched out his arms to interfere.
Snap!
The basketball just shot by Luol Deng was blocked by Sun Yi with a slap and flew straight towards the ball.
After Sun Yi landed, Zeng jumped up, grabbed the basketball in the air, and then ran towards the front court.
At the same time, the Bulls players had not yet reacted and were unable to retreat immediately.
During the Bulls' half, Sun Yi saw no pursuers behind him, so he ran outside the three-point line and jumped up to shoot.
Sun Yi is still a little confident about this kind of unguarded chasing three-pointer.
Swish!
Hollow into the net!
3:0!
The ball transitions and the Bulls attack.
After receiving the serve from the baseline, Rose quickly dribbled toward the frontcourt.
Other Bulls players quickly followed up and ran according to the tactics.
The Warriors players retreated quickly and returned to their respective defensive areas.
Rose dribbled to the top of the arc, passed Curry without slowing down, and quickly rushed into the three-point line.
Seeing this, Sun Yi immediately retreated into the penalty area to clean up the mess for Curry.
At the same time, Chandler was well prepared, quickly rushed back to the basket to occupy a favorable position, and raised his arms to interfere.
Ross, who was traveling at high speed, did not stop when he saw this. He jumped directly into the air towards Chandler and made a lever movement in the air to attract the defensive attention of Sun Yi and Chandler who were chasing him, and knocked the ball away from him. It spread through the cracks.
Outside the three-second zone on the right, Noah received the pass and immediately flew for a layup.
3:2!
Seeing this scene, Sun Yi couldn't figure out what Ross was thinking.
Obviously there are good opportunities to pass the ball while moving, but Rose has to challenge difficult passes, which is a waste of energy and prone to mistakes.
Without thinking much, Sun Yi quickly turned around and rushed towards the frontcourt.
Curry received the serve, quickly dribbled toward the frontcourt, and came to organize the offense beyond the three-point line.
Seeing that Ellis was actively running without the ball, Sun Yi immediately stepped forward and set up an off-ball screen.
Xiao Gongju bypassed the screen and ran to the mid-range area on the left, received a pass from Curry, and hit a mid-range jumper.
Ellis was not happy after the goal.
Although this style of play is extremely efficient, it is not the way he wants to score, and he still has some knots in his heart.
The Bulls served quickly, and Rose dribbled the ball quickly to initiate a defensive counterattack.
Curry quickly retreated to his defensive area, waiting for Rose to arrive.
Rose quickly dribbled the ball to the top of the arc without slowing down, straining his knees to change direction.
It was difficult for Curry to keep up with Rose's change of direction without slowing down, and he was passed by again.
Seeing this situation, Noah entangled with Chandler to create opportunities for Rose.
After Rose rushed into the penalty area like lightning, he jumped high on one foot and performed a double-handed dunk.
5:4!
The United Center suddenly exploded with deafening cheers and shouts!
