Chapter 485 The battle with the general manager

"Hot~hot~you can't go in~Mr. Kupchak is working now! He declared that he won't see anyone for the time being!" Walking to the door of the general manager's office, a brown-haired female employee kept stopping.If it was normal, Tang Qian would be patient and explain a few words to this female employee.But today, he was not in the mood.

So he ignored it and turned to the door of the general manager's office.

However, with a "click", Tang Qian twisted the doorknob, but the door was not opened. He shook it a few times in a row, but it was still the same. The door panel remained motionless, as if mocking him.

Actually locked the door?What does this mean?Did you know I would come?
Thinking of this, Tang Qian became even more angry. He slammed the door twice and said, "Mr. Kupchak, please open the door. I need to see you!" But after a while, there was no sound coming from inside, no, There is still a voice, but not a speaking voice.

Tang Qian didn't think about it carefully, because in his opinion, if there is movement inside, it means someone is there, and if someone doesn't open the door, it means hiding from him on purpose!And why hide from yourself?Isn't the answer obvious? ? ?Thinking of this, thinking of Howard's face, Tang Qian became angry from the heart, and the evil turned to courage. Regardless of the dissuasion of the female staff around him, he raised his foot and flew towards the door of the general manager's office.

To be honest, the quality of this door is still very good.

It's just that in front of a professional athlete like Tang Qian, he still looks a little pale and weak.

Not to mention that at this moment, he still struck with anger, and his strength became stronger and stronger.

With a "bang", the door of the general manager's office was opened, but the scene inside made Tang Qian stunned, and temporarily forgot to let go of his anger.A few seconds later, Laurie Blank, the female secretary who was still squirming on Mitch Kupchak's body, spotted Tang Qian first. There was a moment of silence, followed by a scream of panic mixed with panic, which spread all over the place. The entire general manager's office.

Only then did Mitch Kupchak react, his lower body softened, and he took off the earphones on his head, and said, "You, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be playing in the Staples Center? Also, how did you open the door? I asked Laurie to lock the door..." After some subconscious reflexes, Mitch Kupchak came back to his senses, and immediately roared angrily: " China is hot! How dare you break into the door? How dare you force your way in without my permission! Don’t you want to stay with the Lakers? Get out! Get out immediately!!!”

Tang Qian, who was also in shock at first, was sobered up by Kupchak's scolding. He said with a sneer: "I knocked on the door many times and called you. You ignore me. Is there any way?" "Then you just broke in??? Do you have any basic education!!! You bastard!!!" Even if it was Mitch Kupchak who broke through this kind of scandal The city is very deep, and it is impossible to become nonchalant so quickly, so the tone of his conversation with Tang Qian is extremely harsh.

He didn't know that the other side was also full of temper, so Tang Qian did not retreat but advanced, and said, "Blame me? Mr. Mitch Kupchak, I think you may not have a good memory, you provoked me first. "What do you mean!" Mitch Kupchak asked angrily while pulling up his pants.

"What do I mean?" Tang Qian sneered: "What do you mean by me? What do you mean by putting me on the injury watch list?" "That was a decision discussed by the management. You are a substitute player. Do you have any opinions?" ?” Kupchak put on his pants, his mood recovered a little, and he began to think quickly. "The management's negotiation? Is this how the management negotiates? While listening to the world's best music and playing with women while discussing?" Tang Qian said: "I had a little fantasy about you, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless. What did Howard give you? Benefits? You should tell me about it!"

After Mitch Kupchak put on his trousers, he asked Laurie Blank and the female staff to retreat, and then talked to Tang Qian alone: ​​"It's because you've been too tired for a while, and we're afraid that you will still I can’t adapt to such a high-intensity and intensive schedule in the NBA, so I want you to take a break for a while until the next game recovers.” This sentence is very “artistic” by Kupchak, and there is nothing wrong with it at first glance. But after chewing carefully, he discovered the key point. His original words were "let's talk about the next game" instead of "continue to the next game".The difference, I believe everyone can understand one or two.

This is also the standard official discourse. It seems that there is nothing wrong with it, but in fact there are many routines.

But Tang Qian didn't like this, he didn't show any face, and blurted out: "Bullshi.t!"

"Do you think I'm a high school student? Use this kind of nonsense to fool me?" Mitch Kupchak's face darkened when he saw Tang Qian being so recalcitrant and dishonest, and said in a low voice: "Then you What do you think?"

"I think you and Howard are colluding and deliberately messing with me!" Tang Qian was also angry, so he didn't pay attention to the words he used. "China is hot! You take yourself too seriously!" Kupchak said: "You are a substitute player, do you need me to mess with you? Do you need Howard to mess with you? You think you are Shaq O'Neill?"

Of course, there is something hidden about this matter, but it is impossible for Kupchak to admit it in public, because it will greatly affect his wise image in the team whether it is public or private. "So this is true? Right?" Tang Qian looked directly at the other party and said, "You are going to cooperate with Howard to keep cheating on me? Right?"

"I didn't say that," Kupchak said. "I just acted in the best interest of the team."

"Go. You. Damn. For the benefit of the team!!!" Tang Qian saw that Kupchak was determined to "play bureaucratic tone" with himself, and immediately exploded: "For the benefit of the team, you should let I'm going, I shouldn't be allowed to appear in this dirty, **** place!" "China is hot!!! You watch your words!!!" Kupchak has completely calmed down now, so he is gradually recovering He looked at the face of a shrewd businessman, and said: "I know you have performed well recently, and you have also won two Western Conference Players of the Week, but this is far from enough in the NBA, understand? Young people should focus more on basketball On the court, think less about useless last quarters, so that it will be beneficial to your future career."

"Is it enough?" Tang Qian let go today, and he said to Kupchak: "If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I won't let you go easily!"

Rely on the old and sell the old!Pretending to be an elder, who do you want to show your earnest words?For whom?
"Don't let me go? Do you still want to hit me?" Kupchak was also a perennial strong general manager. He was not happy to be threatened like this. He slapped the desk with his hand and asked.If Tang Qian came today, he wouldn't be afraid of the other party, and he broke the other party's office scandal, so even if there is no grievance or enmity in the future, the latter is very likely to stumbling him!In this case, why is he worrying so much?
"Do you know? I really want to do this." Tang Qian used his height to look down at Mitch Kupchak and said: "If this game is lost because of your decision, then I will not let it go You! As for the reason, you know it in your heart!" "What did you say? How dare you threaten me? You are so brave! The Lakers have been on and off for decades, and few people have dared to speak to me like that. I understand. Is it?" Tang Qian was unmoved, but continued to sneer, and said, "Don't rely on the old to sell the old! In terms of qualifications, you are better than West? In terms of ability, you are better than West? You are the champion of the Lakers. How many were actually cast? Even your most proud trade, Paul Gasol, has West behind him, doesn’t he? You think I don’t know?”

Tang Qian's words also hit Mitch Kupchak's sore spot. Don't look at how he is being passed on to the outside world. In fact, his championships are all based on his predecessor Jerry West's old background.First of all, before West left in 2002, he brought many championship trophies to the Lakers, and his skill is far better than the current Mitch Kupchak.To give a simple example, the OK combination was established by him alone, especially the choice of Kobe Bryant with the 13th pick as the future core training, which is even more visionary.Looking forward, he supported the head coach Pat Riley in many turmoil, and then successfully secured the iron triangle contract of "Magic" Johnson + "Skyhook" Kareem + James Worthy, providing the Lakers The "SHOW.TIME" show of the 80s, with a solid adhesive.As for Mitch Kupchak, although to be honest, his operational ability is also top-notch. Starting from robbing the two Pauls and forming the Lakers' four-star lineup, he has contributed a lot.However, his biggest problem is not a business problem, not a problem of operational ability, but a lack of the same precise vision as Jerry West.

The further back in the Lakers draft, the more you can see that his "robbery ability is very strong", but his vision of knowing people is at least ten blocks worse than West's.In other words, when he formed a lineup, he only considered the surface, not the actual "suitability".Chris Paul was not brought in, but fell short at the last moment because of "basketball reasons". This is luck. The combination of the four kings has basically been characterized as a "failure case". There is West's shadow "Haunting".Well, in fact, luck is also a kind of strength, isn't it?If God does not favor you, then even if you continue to "manipulate God", you will eventually "break the halberd and sink into the sand".

Besides, the absolute leader of the last two champions of the Lakers is Kobe, which is still the "legacy" left by Jerry West.

So if you analyze it carefully, the general manager Mitch Kupchak has strong professional skills, but he is definitely not at the level of a "godfather".

Compared with Jerry West, he fell behind in an instant.

But he couldn't hear such words the most, because Jerry West had always been a shadow in his heart, and he could even call it a demon.So when he heard what Tang Qian said, he stood up suddenly and roared loudly: "China is hot~ you have already made me hate you, before you have completely entered my 'blacklist', I will give you You have a chance, now, immediately, immediately! Otherwise, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance!!!”

"What's the matter? Are you talking about pain? Let me tell you, if you do this, you have already joined my 'blacklist'! For the secret of yourself and Howard, you don't even want the team's results! People like you don't deserve my respect!" Tang Qian countered powerfully: "How about I give you a chance to give up Howard and choose me? If you are willing to turn your back on the shore, then I can't let the past go. "

"Bastard!!!" As a strong general manager, Mitch Kupchak couldn't bear it anymore. He looked at the Eastern center in front of him, stretched out his hand and cursed: "Who do you think you are? Kobe didn't even dare to talk to me like that Speech! Do you know? Just based on your words and deeds today, I am enough to make you sit on the bench this season!!!”

"Really? Kobe and you are not as harmonious as they seem on the surface, right? Besides, don't put gold on your face, do you think he really respects you??? In his heart, you are probably far worse than Jerry West is so important!!!" Tang Qian was also furious by Kupchak, and said: "There is still a while, and tonight's game should be over. If you lose, then you can only Prove one thing, you Mitch Kupchak is the biggest culprit!"

Just as he was talking, Tang Qian saw a piece of news on his mobile phone and said:
The Los Angeles Lakers regretted losing to Chicago by 1 point, and the longest 7-game winning streak in the season was ended by the Bulls!

Immediately, he became enraged, smashed his mobile phone on Kupchak's desk, and shouted: "Are you satisfied now? The team's 7-game winning streak has been terminated! You will see it with your own eyes! Ah! !!!" Faced with Tang Qian's loud questioning, Kupchak's face was also very ugly, but since the deal was made, he couldn't give up halfway, so he raised his voice and said in a loud voice: "NBA season has 82 It’s normal to win or lose a game, even the 96 Bulls lost 10 games? What’s the fuss?”

"It's normal to win or lose? It's normal to win or lose!" Tang Qian said in a cold voice: "Just based on your words, I know that you will never be the godfather of the Lakers! The interests of the team are yours." Even if it’s not the first place, you still want to surpass Jerry West? It’s just a big dream of yours!”

"Rude!!! You are so rude!!! China is hot!!! I will suspend you from the team!!! I will suspend you from the team!!!" Seeing this Oriental man so "contemptuous" "Myself, who admired Jerry West so much, and recalled that he made himself publicly humiliated and apologized publicly, Mitch Kupchak was also furious, pointing at the former, jumping up and shouting.

"If you are suspended, you will be suspended! I think you can still be arrogant for a few days!" Unknowingly, the old and new enmity between the two erupted in an instant. If they both still had a sliver of reason left, they might have fought directly.

And at this tense moment, someone knocked on the door of the general manager's office and said, "Excuse me, both of you, can I come in first?"
