The next day, when the Hawks were on their way to the Heat game. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The famous American gossip magazine American Weekly broke the news: The NBA Chinese American list and the team's boss team were banned from fighting, and the two were suspected of not being able to coexist, and the Hawks were eager to trade one of them.

The revelation quickly spread throughout the United States, and sports media reprinted it.

After someone broke the news, the news of Sean and Josh Smith's fight spread quickly. And as expected, more than a dozen different versions have been derived.

The end result, of course, was that the Eagles' newly assembled roster was mired in infighting.

Joe Johnson, the Eagles who just got a big contract this year and joined the Hawks. Josh Smith, a potential high school student selected by the Hawks last year, physical fitness report, Sean Lee, the Chinese American selected by the Hawks this year, is in the spotlight, this kind of team that has just been formed, when the future of the team is not easy to say, suddenly there is such news of infighting, which is simply a sensation in the league.

Before the Hawks and Heat game, Coach David Woodson was stunned in the face of the media bombardment.

Before the game began, David Woodson spoke on the phone with team manager Billy Knight, and the two were unified.

No one paid attention to how the game was going to be at all, but after the game, David Woodson spoke to the media and told the so-called facts: "There is nothing wrong with the team, Josh Smith and Sean Lee did have a clash, but it didn't have anything to do with it, neither of them was injured, just some verbal offense, so we gave the two of them an intra-team suspension, which is the best way to deal with it, and I hope you don't miscommunicate." ”

This kind of thing is believed by the ghost.

The media have played their own reports and carried out in-depth coverage of the incident.

But whether it was an interview with Josh Smith or Sean, both gave an official answer: I don't have any problems with him, we have no conflicts, and if I can, I can apologize in person.

Bullshit, it's just a request from the team.

Sean said expressionlessly what he didn't believe and didn't make a big deal out of it.

If nothing else, if Josh Smith's suspicious skin color discrimination is poked out, Josh Smith and the team will be in big trouble. The point is that if he does that, Sean's only outcome is to be ready to trade to another team.

God knows how the other teams will position Sean.

Now in the Hawks, Sean's treatment is still good, he has a lot of balls, and he is still a starter.

David Woodson, even if he had an issue with Sean, didn't really fall out. Even if Sean insisted on himself and didn't simply obey the coach's arrangement, David Woodson couldn't force it.

The year before last, because he listened to Larry Brown's arrangement and practiced defense, he has now become a representative of parallel goods, and now if Sean hates listening to David Woodson, it is really a hole in his brain.

If David Woodson really asked Sean to practice strength every day right now, then Sean immediately requested a trade.

Sean doesn't position himself as a role player, focusing on defense and then being able to shoot and pass the ball at point guard, so David Woodson's request is impossible for Shaun to accept. If accepted, Sean's fate would be essentially the same as that of the Pistons' top star Daco Milicic.

That's the most embarrassing thing.

…………

The Eagles had just started their preseason season and were in trouble.

In the absence of Sean and Josh Smith, the team's lineup and strength have been greatly weakened, except for Joe Johnson, who has performed very well, and in this case, the Hawks have lost three of their remaining four games.

The preseason ended so boringly.

After the pre-season, as is customary, the media conducted a power ranking of this year's teams.

Among them, the Spurs, who won last year's championship, are still in first place, the Mihami Heat are in second place, the Sharks are still a strong deterrent, and the Pistons are in third place. The ugly Pistons are strong and remain a strong contender for the championship this year. The Eagles, on the other hand, are at the bottom of this year's team power rankings, only slightly better than the others.

Because before the team even started, the infighting within the team began.

Soon, the regular season came as scheduled.

Before the first regular season game, Coach David Woodson and Billy Knight called Sean and Josh Smith, respectively.

"Smith, you're an undoubted genius, offense, defense, rebounding, they're all top in the league, and you're going to be a superstar in the future, you're the core of the Hawks' future, but as a team leader, you're supposed to contribute on the court, not trouble with new people off the court, do you have the core to do that?" David Woodson said very sadly.

Josh Smith looked confused, and then a little ashamed.

Next to him, Billy Knight said, "Smith, you're the future of the team, and when your rookie contract ends, we'll give you a big contract and the leadership of the team, but you need to prove that...... You should know Sean's identity, the team needs Sean, whether it's off the field or off the field, you can't clash with him, the team needs him to drive popularity and attract the support of the league. ”

Billy Knight and David Woodson persuaded hard, and then ...... Josh Smith actually agreed to the request of the two.

After persuading Josh Smith away, Sean went to the same office.

David Woodson said more blandly:

"Sean, you're the future of the team, and the team needs your help, especially defensively, and not needs you to beat up teammates and cause conflicts, which is not what a normal basketball player should do."

David Woodson's attitude was not very good, and even after communicating with Billy Knight, David still had dissatisfaction in his tone.

Sean frowned and said, "Mr. Coach, I know, but I'm not a defensive player, defending Byron Davis shouldn't be my job, I think the team can send other people, like Josh Smith, I'll do my best to defend, but doesn't Mr. Coach think I'll do better on the offensive end?" ”

David Woodson was furious when he heard this.

Sean's words hit David Woodson's pain, in fact, the preseason game against the Warriors was not David Woodson's mistake, but David Woodson did it on purpose.

Sean was reluctant to strengthen his strength training, and David Woodson was annoyed, so he made Sean suffer a little so that Sean could succumb to it. But Sean not only refused to give in, but also had a grudge against the coach.

That's embarrassing.

The two couldn't get along at once, so Billy Knight hurriedly mediated in the middle:

"Alright, Lee, I don't think our dispute is here. The new season is just around the corner, and we all hope that you can put aside your preconceptions on the pitch and do your own thing, so that doesn't let that reduce Josh Smith's possession. The team needs you to distribute the ball and sort out the team's attack. ”

"Got it, Mr. Billy, I'm not going to let the team down."
