Chapter 486 Huo Ku's activities (6K chapter please recommend~)

"Who???" Mitch Kupchak was in an extremely bad mood right now, so he blurted out loudly, which was completely different from his usual "gentleman" feeling. "Oh~Mr. Kupchak~ I'm here to ask you to sign. This is the latest financial report of the Los Angeles Defenders." The person who came was Tang Qian's old acquaintance. Bonnie Laughlin, the current assistant to the general manager.

"Hot, you're here too, hello, congratulations on being the best of the week in the Western Conference for two consecutive weeks... huh? No? You should have just finished the game against the Bulls. You're not at the Staples Center. Why are you here? ?” Bonnie Laughlin has become a bit more temperamental than before, and it seems that the saying of “dwelling and moving to support the moving body” is not unreasonable.And how to say it?Compared with the previous sexy attire, her current overall attire has begun to become more solemn and refined, and there are few places that are leaked from top to bottom.

"Hello, Ms. Laughlin." Seeing that it was Bonnie Laughlin, Tang Qian suppressed his anger and said respectfully.After all, this woman can be regarded as one of his guides in the NBA. Without him, it is impossible for him to stand in Los Angeles and the Lakers now. "The reason why I'm not at Staples now, but here is entirely because Mr. Mitch Kupchak is dissatisfied with me and colluded with some people to deliberately punish me! That's why I came here to ask Mr. Kupchak for a Speaking."

After listening to Tang Qian's words, Bonnie Laughlin quickly thought of several possibilities in her head, but she didn't make a fuss, just said with a smile: "Then let's talk about it~ Hot~ Kupchak Sir is also a reasonable and civilized person, as long as you talk to him well, he is still very gentle." Bonnie Laughlin seemed to be persuading, but in fact, there were many insinuations and ironic words in these words, Tang Qian, who was just angry for a while, didn't pay much attention.

"Wow~ the door was kicked open? It seems that Mr. Kupchak is very 'busy' in the office." Bonnie Laughlin said again, the meaning of this sentence is more important than before "Explicit".This made Mitch Kupchak very annoyed and said: "You still need to come to me in person for such a trivial matter? As the deputy general manager of the Defenders, can you not handle this matter?"

Bonnie Laughlin knows Mickey Kupchak much better than Tang Qian, and her relationship with the latter has always been "delicate".

Not emotionally subtle, but workingly subtle.

"Oh, sir, this is a financial report. You told me before that I have to bring it over and sign it for you every time. Could it be that Mr. Kupchak is too old to forget?" Bang Although Ni Laughlin is much younger than Kupchak, she is also a 36-[-] person. In addition, she has rich experience in working at the bottom and has been with "Old Bath" for a long time. Therefore, when it comes to some power struggles and scheming, she Not necessarily much worse than Kupchak.

As for the gap in professional ability, didn't Old Buss let her be the assistant to the general manager to help her lay a solid foundation?

Kupchak was "trained" by West's side for nearly 16 years before he became a teacher. Bonnie Laughlin is confident that she will not be worse than him.However, she also knew that she was just a follower left behind by "Old Buss". If Mitch Kupchak was always "wise and powerful", then she would always be just an "assistant general manager".But she didn't "blame" Jerry Buss, because the latter spoke to her openly and honestly, so her choices were all voluntary, without any coercion.

What about being a "backhand"?As long as I want this kind of opportunity, I will firmly grasp it!

Not just for Jerry, for the Bass family, but for myself!

The rich and powerful family are magnificent on the outside, but the interior is always full of intrigue and calculations. Bonnie Laughlin can completely understand him when he does what Old Bath does.No one wants their family's own property to "die in the second generation", so leaving a "back hand" that can be supplemented is the key.

Besides, for Bonnie Laughlin, who is of ordinary background, it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to squeeze into the top of the Bass family.

High society, she also wants to step into it.

So she sincerely hoped that Mitch Kupchak and Jim Bass would make more mistakes, so that she and...she would have a chance.

Otherwise, you can only do "second-line work" all the time.

Mitch Kupchak knew that this Bonnie Laughlin was trying to squeeze him out on purpose, but he couldn't refute it, because this sentence was indeed confessed by him.The purpose is to reduce Bonnie Laughlin's involvement in finance and decision-making, and to make her thoughts of "fighting monsters and upgrading" below become empty.But I don't know, today I am lifting a rock to shoot myself in the foot.But he has also been the general manager of the team for many years, and he quickly made a response: "Really? Then you just give the things to Laurie, and I will deal with them when I have time later. I have something to talk about, so go out first."

With a few simple words, Mitch Kupchak told the other party, who is the "big man" of the Lakers, as the next person, it is better to go to the side to cool off honestly.Bonnie Laughlin was unwilling to let go of this opportunity. Instead of leaving immediately, she turned her head to look at the Eastern center and said with a smile, "Hot, Mr. Mitch Kupchak, as the president of the Lakers, Manager, that's very busy, let's not disturb him for now, how about it?"

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I respect you very much, but I'm sorry I can't follow my orders today." Tang Qian looked directly at Kupchak and said in a low voice: "Because Mr. Kupchak has done things that I can't understand, so Whether it's public or private, I want him to explain it to me and give me an explanation."

"China is hot! Don't mess around! I've told you everything. This is a decision made by the entire management team, not my own arbitrariness! If you leave now, I guarantee that I can pretend that nothing happened." After hearing Kupchak's words, Tang Qian smiled and said, "You can pretend that nothing happened, but I can't."

"I just said one word today. Are you preparing for the next game and continue to co-operate with Howard to bully me? Don't let me play?"

"Who is cheating on you? Let me tell you, if you talk to me like this again, I will immediately suspend you from the team. Believe it or not?" Because the door was kicked down, the quarrel in the office has ended. It attracted a lot of people, people were watching outside, whispering, guessing the meaning of the words between the two of them.

Obviously, there are some things that Kupchak has not discussed with everyone.

Seeing that Tang Qian was unwilling to leave, Bonnie Laughlin's eyes lit up, because she said so just now, but she thought the opposite in her heart. She just hoped that the conflict between the two would be sharper, and then she can……

"Hot, Mr. Mitch Kupchak is the general manager after all...Why don't you admit your mistake and bow your head first." Bonnie Laughlin said deliberately. "Impossible!" Tang Qian was furious now, and blurted out: "If you want to be suspended, then suspend the game. Let's see how long he can last! If the Lakers can't make the playoffs, his general manager will do it!" This sentence is true. According to his past life memory, if the Lakers really didn't make it to the playoffs that year, maybe Mitch Kupchak might really step down and take the blame.But in the ears of the latter, it doesn't feel that good. Are you cursing me to step down and get out?asshole! ! !In this case, I will let you go first! ! !
"You said it yourself! China is hot! Then you can finish the season for me on the injured list!" Mitch Kupchak shouted out the door after finishing speaking: "What are you watching? Are you busy with no work? Call the security immediately and ask this impolite Chinese out!"

"You... I don't need you to invite me, I will go by myself!" Tang Qian was completely disappointed in Mickey Kupchak after the trouble today, so he turned around and left angrily to the Lakers general manager's office.

And at this moment, Bonnie Laughlin immediately followed after turning her eyes, and followed Tang Qian away from the Lakers management gate.

"You bastard!!! If he comes again in the future, just stop him outside!!! He is not allowed to enter the gate!!! Did you hear that???" Mitch Kupchak roared, and then He ordered Laurie Blank to call someone to repair the door, otherwise the door of the general manager's office would be open all the time, it would be shameful and "inconvenient".

Laurie Blank was also very clever, and went out to make a phone call without saying a word.

She knew that Mitch Kupchak needed to be alone for a while now.

As for why this situation suddenly happened, and why Mitch Kupchak suddenly suppressed Don Potential to support Howard, the reason was because of Howard's personal "visit" a few days ago. The coercion and lure of "Warcraft" made Mitch Kupchak finally make up his mind to keep "Warcraft" Howard at all costs.

To recap, the general situation of that day is as follows:
"This... what is this? Why do you have this video in your hand? Why did you record this video?" Mitch Kupchak looked at Howard's face and asked in surprise.As the general manager of the team, how could he not have heard of the "infighting incident" in the locker room of the Lakers?It's just that he thought that the matter had come to an end, but he didn't expect the "Warcraft" Howard in front of him to bring it up again, and...he still has a clear video of the "infighting" that day in his hand.

"Hey, it's nothing, it's just Mr. Mitch Kupchak, I want to remind you, don't forget the original promise." Howard didn't understand what Kupchak said. In order to attract Howard to Los Angeles, he Not only did it come up with a high price tag, but it also made some important promises.For example, how the Lakers will sign him in the future, how much guarantee will be given to him, and how high the team status will be given to him.Of course, the most important point is the transfer of the kingship of the Lakers boss. Without this, it would be hard to say whether Howard would come to Los Angeles so smoothly last year.

At the beginning, the two agreed that they could wait for Howard's contract to end this season before renewing it. First, Howard could get a larger contract amount, and second, it would allow Howard to see the sincerity and sincerity of the Lakers management. .At that time, Howard greatly appreciated the attitude of the Lakers.But time has changed, and now he has been in Los Angeles for more than half a season, and his mentality, along with the complicated situation, has already undergone a "great change".

For example, for Los Angeles, instead of having "love", he has nothing but hatred!

"Of course I haven't forgotten, what's the matter? Did you have a conflict with Kobe again? I can help mediate, you..." Before Kupchak finished speaking, Howard shook his head and said: "No, no, Kup Mr. Check, don't evade my question, now you have to give me an answer, you want me or this damn Chinese guy!"

"Dwight, don't be so emotional, what can we discuss..."

"Discussion? Discuss what? Discuss shit! Now I want you to give me an answer immediately!!! Must!!! Immediately!!!" Seeing Howard's expression of not giving up until he reached his goal, Kupchak He cursed Tang Qian in his heart, because according to the images on this video, Howard was indeed humiliated almost "inhumanely".Put yourself in the situation and think about it, if you were Howard, you would probably explode right now.

"Of course I want you. Does it need to be said? Dwight." Mitch Kupchak quickly flashed a variety of answers in his mind, and then chose the one he thought was most suitable. "You can choose me, but you must get rid of this Chinese guy immediately! Because I don't want to see this yellow monkey again for a second!!!" Howard spoke very fiercely, as if Kupchak made a wrong answer, and he was about to completely Flip in general. "Dwight, your request is embarrassing, because you don't know that the door to the trading market is closed now, and I can't help it even if I want to trade him. So you'd better bear with it and wait until..."

"Wait??? He treats me like this, and you still make me wait??? Why should I wait??? You tell me!!!" Howard immediately widened his eyes and shouted. "Dwight, I understand your current mood, and I know that you are sad and wronged, but this is the league's rules, and I can't change it." Howard immediately changed his voice when he heard this: "Then let him Go to the bench, no, let him go to the injured list first! Anyway, just don’t appear on the field with me!”

"It's okay to sit on the bench, and it's okay to reduce his playing time, but go directly to the injured list, this..." Mitch Kupchak was robbed by Howard before he finished speaking, saying: "This is what I have to do. Request! If you can't satisfy me, then I can't guarantee whether I will choose to renew my contract with the Lakers after the end of this season's contract! Anyway, with this video recording, everyone will not blame me when I leave!"

This was simply the most embarrassing negotiation for Mitch Kupchak in his general manager career, because overall he couldn't grab the initiative, and overall it was Howard who was aggressive, but he couldn't reverse the situation.

After seeing this mobile phone video, Kupchak knew that Howard was playing for real. If he couldn't give him a satisfactory answer today, then it is very likely that Howard will pat his ass and leave after the end of this season.The Lakers picked up Bynum and several role players. If the "right to use World of Warcraft for one season" is exchanged in the end, then don't think too much, he will definitely be slammed to death by fans and experts in Los Angeles.

In this way, the so-called "God Manipulation" has become "Ghost Manipulation", directly from a model to a laughing stock.

Mitch Kupchak didn't want to bear such a huge gap, because in that way, his dream of being the godfather of the Lakers team could be regarded as coming to an end.Compared with the famous Howard, sacrificing a "replacement blue-collar", in his trade-off, he came to the answer easily.

Let the car be handsome!The Lakers have played extremely badly this season. If they end up empty out of money, his reputation will definitely drop to the bottom in an instant.So Mitch Kupchak quickly analyzed the pros and cons, and made what he thought was the "optimal" decision.

"Okay, Dwight, I can agree to your request." Seeing that Kupchak finally bowed his head to himself and compromised with himself, Howard felt refreshed, but he still pretended to be "reluctant" on the surface He said, "You said this yourself, don't regret it then! Otherwise, I won't be easy to bully!!!"

"Don't worry, as long as you renew your contract with the Lakers at that time, then these issues can be resolved according to your requirements." Kupchak said: "After all, you are the leader and successor of the team, and we will do our best to build a team around you." The championship lineup." In the past, Howard would have been extremely happy and excited when he heard this kind of promise, but now...he has no nostalgia for Los Angeles, and has hated it to the core, so...

"That depends on whether Mr. Kupchak can fulfill your own words first." Howard had discussed it with the ace agent Dan Fagan before he came, so he was not in a hurry to make a promise, but first caught Mickey Kup Cheek takes the bait.Speaking of this Dan Feigen, he is really such an "unscrupulous and unscrupulous" big-name agent, you say he is not capable, this person is very capable, in addition to Howard, there are a large number of NBA players and even stars in the In his "client pocket", there are also many potential rookies in the future. This season's NBA's famous agent rankings, his name is listed at No. 3.This shows the professional ability of this person.But this guy is also an extremely "fucking" person. In order to maximize the benefits of his agent, he often even ignores the feelings of his players and just wantonly strives for huge contracts.

Back then, Yi Jianlian was "made" by this guy to such an extent that no one in the NBA cares about him.

How to say?From the very beginning when Yi Jianlian landed in the NBA, he advocated that Yi Jianlian did not want to go to Milwaukee. Even if this was Yi Jianlian's own intention, but he made it public and publicized it, what is the result?The result is that Yi Jianlian has left a very bad impression on American fans before he has played a game in the NBA.The old fans should still have a memory. The most famous statement of this guy back then was: If the Bucks don't let anyone go, Yi Jianlian will return to China, and he will not play for any club for a whole year.

Want to know how "fuck" this statement is?First of all, he allowed Yi Jianlian and Milwaukee to plant a seed of mutual hatred before they cooperated.This caused Yi Jianlian to be deflated in the Bucks and quickly lost the support of the fans, which has a very direct connection.Secondly, he made this decision without any regard for the interests of the athlete Yi Jianlian. As a professional basketball player, if you don't play professional games for a whole year, what kind of competitive status do you have?Do you really think everyone is Jordan Kobe James?Besides, it is incomprehensible that Yijianlian will lose a lot of money income after being "leisure" for a year.The last and most crucial point is that the core of what he did was not for the clients, but only for his own commission, and for himself to get more commission, he unilaterally and deliberately amplified Yi Jianlian's personal will.

And who is the one who took the blame in the end?Of course it wasn't him, Dan Feigen, only Yi Jianlian himself.

The American media quickly branded Yi Jianlian as "playing big names", "not abiding by the rules", and "selfish". Urinary sex, everything can go away.But if it is not typed...then the consequences will be very serious, and it will only double the slander and humiliation.

Everyone knows the result later, Yi Jianlian has a very bad reputation in the alliance, and the origin is here, but our Mr. Dan Feigen, there is nothing wrong with it. One less Yi Jianlian, he continues to make a lot of money Earn dollars.However, this person's style and eating style eventually aroused public anger. After a few years, Howard, Jordan Jr., and John Wall. All "fired" him. The key point is that Dan Feigen didn't pay attention to himself at all. player image.This coincides with the Yi Jianlian incident that year.

Coupled with the "notorious" "Joe Smith Contract Fraud" in history, the character of this agent is actually inversely proportional to his work ability.But Howard hasn't understood this yet. He only regards Dan Feigen as his "good uncle". "Big-name agents are extremely rare in the current league.

He thought he was lucky and picked up a treasure.

Little did he know that all of Dan Fagan's actions were for himself and for his ink knife.

because in private...
