Chapter 134
On November 11, a headline on the front page of the Auckland Herald, a small local newspaper with a small circulation in Oakland, broke the news.

"Harrington and Jackson are just fools being used. Is there someone else behind the Warriors' infighting? "Reporter Nelson Salisbury reports.

After the game against the Jazz on the 25th, our reporter accidentally found Harrington and Jackson drunk at a local nightclub in Oakland. The reporter mustered up his courage to take pictures of the two and interview them.

The two were obviously drunk during the interview, and under the reporter's questioning, they revealed the inside story of the coaxing in the Warriors locker room.

After Harrington and Jackson joined the team late, they doubted whether he could lead the team to achieve an outstanding record. Welcomed.

But they are not the only players who have similar ideas to the two of them. The team's inside player Adonal Foye is also very dissatisfied with the late arrival, because in order to establish the late arrival as the core of the team, the Warriors put Foye Yeah best friend Baron Davis was traded.

Foye didn't want to see Late take over the team so smoothly and become the team's new boss, so he challenged Harrington and Jackson to "challenge" Late.

At the beginning, Harrington and Jackson were reluctant to do such a thing that would harm the interests of the team, but Foye persuaded them and gave them advice to make them perform well in the preseason and in the regular season opener. No late passes.

Late does not have many supporters in the Warriors. As long as Late performs poorly on the court, he will soon lose his status as the team leader.

Harrington and Jackson were moved by him, and what happened afterwards is well known...

This report disclosed in detail the insider details of the strife in the Warriors locker room, and reported everything in detail. Once it was released, it immediately caused an uproar.

Oakland local fans almost rioted.

Foye?
Who is that?
He has been playing for the Golden State Warriors since he was selected by the Warriors in [-]. This year is his tenth year playing for the Warriors. Last season, he was still the team's inside starter, but he has always been a small player for the Golden State Warriors. Transparent, and the data sucks.

The result is that such a veteran who has played for the Warriors for so many years actually disregards the interests of the team?
How can this be?

The first reaction of the fans is of course not to believe it. After all, although Foye is not very strong, he has been conscientious and has never had any negative news around him.

Could it be that Jackson and Harrington couldn't bear the pressure and started throwing the pot away?

Local media in Oakland swarmed Jackson and Harrington at the team's training facility, interviewing them for insider details about the strife in the Warriors' locker room.

The two of them made up their minds yesterday to reveal the locker room incident completely, but after communicating with Nelson, this clever little reporter gave them an idea to let them pretend to be drunk and make a slip of the tongue. Greatly reduce the pressure they face.

And once a hole is broken, it will be much easier to deal with it.

However, they will also bear the accusation of insufficient professional attitude. Compared with the pressure they have endured recently, it is not worth mentioning at all. As long as they train well in the future and perform well on the court, these are not a problem.

The two accepted Nelson's suggestion, and when they were blocked by media reporters, they looked completely bewildered.

In the face of media reporters' questions, they did not answer directly, but instead asked: "How do you know this kind of thing?"

The media reporters are not stupid. Seeing these two people pretending to be stupid, they immediately understood that this was a disguised admission that what they said was true.

Foye was also dumbfounded.

what happened?

I was hiding behind the scenes so well, why did someone flip the table all of a sudden?
In the face of media reporters and fans' questioning, Foye pushed back and said that there is no such thing at all, and the Auckland Herald is making up nonsense, and he reserves the right to hold the other party accountable.

But Harrington and Jackson played a detour. They were interviewed by the media again, saying that the two of them went to the nightclub to get drunk on impulse because of their poor performance yesterday.

Jackson took the opportunity to publicly apologize in front of the media: "I express my remorse for my previous behavior. I have realized my mistake. Late is a very charismatic leader. He treats everyone equally in the locker room, even if I did it before." For some wrong things, he will always defend me. I am sorry for my stupid behavior, and I also regret that I have harmed the interests of the team and caused the team's poor record. I will definitely take responsibility and in the future Take it seriously in the game and training, and respond to the expectations of the fans with the best performance. I think late is our real boss, and I am willing to follow him, assist him, and help the Warriors become one of the best teams in the league. "

Harrington also said: "Yes, as you all know, I will not deny what I have said, nor will I deny what I have done. What I did wrong is what I did wrong. My choice paid the price, now I realize my mistake, so I want to change, I want to make amends. Late is undoubtedly a very good leader, his performance on the pitch is impeccable, even I Looking back now, I don’t understand why I did that, I hope the fans will give me a chance to redeem myself, and I will definitely live up to everyone’s expectations.”

The coquettish operation of these two people really shocked many people.

Even for being late, I didn't expect these two people to apologize directly in public, and even took a clear stand on their side.

Before he had time to fully implement his plan to control the ball in the locker room, the opposition in the locker room had already begun to turn against him?
The management of the Warriors was a little annoyed, mainly because they felt that it was taboo for Harrington and Jackson to reveal what happened in the locker room to the media, but they apologized publicly and sincerely. In the end, the team management punished the two because they Shouldn't go to nightclubs to get drunk during the game, the team will be suspended for one game and fined $5000.

Ha ha!

This damn is a big stick that is swung up, and it falls gently, right?

With these two people taking the lead, many Warriors players also frankly talked about the atmosphere in the locker room.

Michael Dunleavy said in an interview: "Yes, I can't tell you what happened in the locker room, but everything is as you think, but I didn't participate in it. The team's record is not good. None of the expected results, but I believe that in the next games, we will be back on track soon."

Veteran Grant Hill clearly supported Late: "I don't know what some people are thinking, but I think Late is the undoubted leader of the team, and his strength has been recognized by all of us."

Milicic is even more nasty: "Late? Yes, he is my boss. I swear that I will only play for him in the future. He made me find the joy of playing again. Everyone knows that during the time in the Pistons, it was My most painful experience, those days tortured me like a nightmare, but now I have come out of the nightmare, I believe the fans will see a brand new me, all this is brought by lateness, he is like me The mentor in life, for me, he is second only to family."

The Warriors briefly refuted the rumors, but responded most forcefully to the inside story of the team's locker strife-they are seeking to trade Foye!
Since he joined the Warriors late, the entire management team has been paving the way for him to take over the team. As long as there are players who may affect his becoming the leader of the team, they will be traded out by the Warriors without hesitation. Foye dares to provoke trouble behind the scenes , It is absolutely impossible for the Warriors to keep him.

The major teams in the league are not stupid. Foye has a contract of 800 million this year. Although the price is not low, he is a big man inside.The most important thing is that he started 72 times last season, averaged 23.5 minutes per game, and only scored 4.5 points and 5.5 rebounds. He can barely be an ordinary role player.

It was embarrassing.

Foye failed to provoke trouble behind the scenes. The Warriors wanted to trade him out, but there was no trade value at all. Almost no team in the league was willing to accept him.

The few teams that are willing to trade are all with the mentality of taking advantage of the fire and need the Warriors to bleed more or less.

Like the Clippers, let them take over Foye's contract, and the Warriors have to pay a lot of cash.

The Warriors management quickly made a decision and reached a deal with the Sonics, using their first-round picks this year plus Foye's contract to exchange their first-round picks with the Sonics this year.

This transaction is simply too unexpected. You must know that the Warriors' record has dived to the bottom of the league, and it is possible to get this year's No. [-] pick.

Although the strength of the Supersonics has declined, their three guns are still there. If it is not deliberately bad, it is still very possible to compete for the playoffs.

The media commented that the courage of the Warriors management is commendable. In order to determine the lateness as the core of the team, they have reached the point of no matter the cost.

The Sonics made a lot of money in this trade, trading a first-round pick for next year for a potential higher draft pick and getting a big center for nothing -- big men in today's league are worth a lot.

So far, the Warriors' locker strife has ended in an unexpected way.

No one expected that the Warriors' locker room had calmed down after arriving late and seemingly doing nothing.

Harrington and Jackson were forgiven in the hearts of many fans because of their public apologies. At least many fans believed that they could continue to play for the Warriors for a while, let's see how they perform next.
