On Thursday, April 6, Beijing time, Klay Thompson recently participated in an interview program with former NBA star Ibaka, talking about teammates chasing Green, Curry, Poole and others, and confided his views on everyone.
Thompson said: If it weren't for Dream Green, Curry and I wouldn't have won so many championship rings and wouldn't have achieved such brilliant achievements as we are now. Because Curry and I are both good gentlemen on the court and in life, we probably don't have that scary and awesome temperament, or you could say we're not very fierce leaders. When Dream first arrived, the coach used him to put him in the starting line-up, and he had an advantage in that regard. He may not be the most skilled and scoring player, but he will do whatever it takes to win the game. Going under the opponent and scrambling to spew trash talk, and getting physically unbalanced for the ball, so that we can get an empty spot. If he doesn't play well, he will yell at his teammates, tell everyone to be positive, he will defend the opponent's core offensive points, he has been doing the most tiring work on the pitch, and we all respect him very much.
Ibaka also asked about the conflict between Dream and Poole and the boxing incident.
Klay Thompson said: Before Poole came to the Warriors, Green has been recommending Poole to management managers and coaches, he is very optimistic about this young man, he thinks Poole has great potential, he once said that one day Poole will become the next Stephen Curry, Green and Poole have always been mentors and friends, Green is Poole's leader into the Warriors, and always guides and criticizes Poole at the beginning of the game, and as Poole grows, he is slowly unwilling to accept Green's guidance and criticism, Coupled with the fact that the team did not consider renewing Green's contract early during that time, this led to Chase Dream feeling that he was not respected. In the end, he and Poole broke out in training and made a move against the garbage talk.
Thompson said: In fact, his punch was not just aimed at Poole.
Green has also spoken on the podcast: Jordan Poole is the one I've been leading him to criticize him. Sometimes it's a mistake to think of Jordan Poole as a gas bag, as evidenced by the fact that Kerr, Klay and Curry are not on my side now, and I regret it so much after the incident, I didn't have the courage to communicate with Poole, and I couldn't face what he and I had done.
The target of my punch was not Jordan Poole at all, it was my powerlessness that was not respected by the team management, teammates and netizens, and it was the unfair judgment of my efforts and long-term contribution to this team.
I apologized, but I didn't apologize to Poole alone.
With the regular season coming to an end and the Warriors all in place, Klay said the goal this year is to compete for a championship and hope to defend the title.
And this season, the Warriors have been exposed to a variety of unfavorable factors such as internal discord, are you still optimistic about the Warriors?
