Chapter 670 The New Contract Is Finalized

"What? Bryant? You want us to sign a ten million contract?" Mitch Kupchak said on the phone.

"No! It's not tens of millions!" Kobe said: "It's starting at 1200 million! It must be this price! Listen to Mitch, I'm here for the future of Los Angeles!" "You're kidding!" Kupchak is working on the signing How could it be possible for Bynum to follow Kobe’s wishes, and he refused: "Do you think he is worth the price? He is probably 28 years old now!!! How can such a person with no integrity open?" Such a high price! Absolutely not!"

"Kupchak! Don't talk to me!" Kobe broke out directly on the phone, as if he didn't care about Kupchak, the general manager of the team, and said: "You think he will be short of money? Is it? His current sneaker contract is top-notch, and he won’t lose these millions! But if he can keep him for a few million, we will make a lot of money in the future! Don’t blame me for not reminding you, if you dare to take him away, I will It's not over with you!"

Why did Kobe's attitude suddenly become so tough?Did you take the wrong medicine?

"Bryant! You have to figure it out. Judging from what D'Antoni means, it is very likely that he will be righted in the future. Can you bear it?" Kupchak thought he had caught Kobe's "weakness", but what? Knowing that the latter opened his mouth, he said: "What's the problem with correcting him in the future? I think Mr. D'Antoni's approach is correct, and it is worth our investment!"

"w? What?" Hearing this, Mitch Kupchak was a little stunned, because this kind of words should not come from Kobe's mouth, otherwise why would Howard leave?Why can't we coexist with him?Up to now, Kupchak still feels that the departure of "Warcraft" is all due to Kobe's "high pressure" problem, and he has not reflected on himself too much.

"Bryant, are you serious? Do you agree with D'Antoni's nonsense?" Mitch Kupchak said.

"As long as it's good for the Lakers to win the championship, I don't care, I agree with it." After Kobe finished speaking, he heard Kupchak say: "It's not because your condition has plummeted and you can't return to your peak, so you started to give up on yourself. Bar?"

"Oh? You think so?" Kobe sneered and said, "I'm telling you now, the reason I'm going to attend the opening game of the new season is that I've recovered." "Bryant! Are you telling me to backtrack? ?” Kupchak announced not long ago that Kobe will not participate in the opening game and will continue to recover from his injuries, and now he immediately broke his promise, what do Los Angeles fans think of him?

Kupchak was unwilling to agree to this kind of damage to authority.

But Kobe's status in the Lakers, can he just say it?Kobe wanted to play, and no one could stop him.

He is king in Los Angeles.

"I care about you?" Kobe may also feel that this is the last season, and the recovery of his physical condition has allowed him to regain his old domineering way: "I just came to inform you, not to discuss with you. Remember, Two things, the first thing is 1200 million a year, the signing is hot, the longer the number of years, the better! The second thing is that I will play in the opening game! Well, I wish you a happy life, goodbye."

After Kobe finished speaking, he hung up the phone, which made Mitch Kupchak bulge with blue veins on his forehead: "Shit shit! Shit shit! Do you still think you are that peak black mamba? Your legs are all It’s broken! You’re in such a mess, how dare you talk to me like that? Damn it! Damn it! I’ll make you lose face and swell your own face!” After saying these words, Kupchak grabbed the He dialed out his mobile phone and said, "Hey, what's going on with Andrew? Yes, bring him over right away, say it's a trial training, and meet up with your teammates! Yes, it's today! Let's do it right away!!!"

After putting down the phone, Kupchak said fiercely: "You guys are playing me! I'm telling you to threaten me! I, Mickey Kupchak, am not a persimmon! If you want to squeeze me, then you have to have that ability." OK!"

I will definitely turn defeat into victory!Will! ! !

In the pre-season training camp, the entire Lakers team was training hard. In the afternoon, the door of the Toyota Sports Center was opened. Mitch Kupchak walked into the training hall with two people and said, "Andrew, welcome back to the Lakers , everyone misses you very much."

"Hey, Mr. Kupchak, although my client is loyal to the Lakers, but in terms of price, you also understand that business is a business, and I deserve it. My client can't miss a single point." Bye Nam's agent is called David Lee and the NBA's David Lee has the same name and surname, but he is not the same person.Mitch Kupchak cursed inwardly when he heard the words, but said politely on the surface: "Don't worry, we will make the most reasonable estimate for Andrew, and we won't let you suffer."

"Haha~Okay, when will the contract be signed?" David Lee seemed anxious.

"Don't worry, we'll go to the general manager's office to talk after Andrew gets used to it." But before Kupchak finished speaking, some "disharmonious" voices appeared in the training ground: "Why are you here? Do you really want to go back to the Lakers?"

"Of course, I'm an authentic Lakers player."

Tang Qian sneered and said, "Then what position are you going to play when you come back?"

"Of course it's the starter." Bynum said without even thinking about it: "Is Andrew Bynum, the Western All-Star starter, still going to be a substitute?"

"Aren't you going to be a substitute?" Tang Qian asked rhetorically.

"I play on the bench? Who deserves to start? Now Howard is gone." After Bynum finished speaking, the Lakers stopped shooting training on the 29th, grabbed the ball with one hand and walked in front of the former, and said with a smile: "Tell you something Say, Andrew, these days are different."

"You're the starting center for the Western All-Stars. That's already happened last season, figure it out." Tang Qian said: "Last season, I was the starting center for the Western All-Stars. You want to come to the Lakers to play okay, give me Just be a substitute, I don't mind." "What? You asked me to substitute for you? Who do you think! Howard??? Ridiculous!!! Your All-Star starting center, everyone knows how he got here !" Bynum still looked at Tang Qian with old eyes and said: "Now that I have returned to the Lakers and Los Angeles, the starting center position of the Western All-Stars is nothing to you, and I will hold the monopoly in the future!"

Kobe didn't step forward because he believed that Tang Qian could handle it by himself, and this was also a good opportunity to establish the authority of the team.

"Hahahaha~" Tang Qian laughed loudly, then looked at Bynum and said, "You didn't play a game last year, did you dare to talk to me like that? I just want to ask you, who are you?" , do you deserve it?" Tang Qian then said something that seemed astonishing, and said: "I tell you, Bynum, let alone you, even Howard, this season can only obediently play with me as a substitute! Understand?"

"You...you're crazy! You're so arrogant!" Bynum didn't expect that after a year, this Eastern center would still be so unlikable, no, it was even more annoying.

"You're just a blue-collar! What right do you have to say that about me, about Howard? Do you really take your bullshit All-Star seriously?"

"I'm a blue-collar, no problem." Tang Qian said: "But blue-collars can also be divided into ordinary and super. Obviously, I am the latter, and my defensive ability is enough for me to suppress you. No, it is to suppress all the No. 5 positions in the league now! "You, I think you have something wrong with your brain, you have delusional disorder!" Bynum said: "You still want to suppress all the No. 5 positions in the league? Do you think you are a blue-collar superstar?"

"That's right, you are right this time." Tang Qian said, "I am a blue-collar superstar."

Tang Qian has experienced so many things, it has long been different from the first year, especially after coming out of the tower, his vision is many times higher than before.Bynum?This kind of player with the highest average of 16+11 in the playoffs, that is, this era can enter the All-Star, replaced by the 90s, first, he can't play this kind of data, and second, he can also score when he plays. Not an All-Star.As for the best team and the best defense team, don't even think about it.

How can Tang Qian be polite?
Let me back you up?Just you, the guy with the highest 16+11 in the playoffs and an average shooting percentage of 47% per game?
Your ****, sorry, why are you so big-eyed?

"Crazy! I think you are crazy! Kobe, you just look at it like this, don't care about this lunatic?" Bynum said to No. 24 of the Lakers who was practicing behind him. "He's better than you, that's okay, what's the problem?" Kobe said casually while shooting, "When you are better than him, it won't be too late to ask me for justice."

"You! I think you are all out of your mind!!! In the current situation of the Lakers, you still have to show off? Don't think I don't know, you don't have the ability at your peak, don't you? Don't pretend to me! Preseason The average shooting percentage in the 5 games was less than 20%, and the last game was 16 for 0 shots, what face do you have to drag me?" Bynum went out for a year, missed the ball, and his brain degenerated even more seriously.When Kobe heard the words, his face changed, and he said, "What did you say? Are you courting death?"

"Forget it, Bryant, what is BB with this kind of brainless person? I'll send him away and let him go away." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he said to Andrew Bynum: "Hey, Andrew, it's still old Rules, I will defend your attack, you only need to score three goals, you will win, how about it?" After Tang Qian came back, he hadn't really tried his breakthrough ability, and now he sent one to his door, and he didn't waste it. Wouldn't it be a waste?
"What? Don't you dare? Didn't you just say that you will be the starter of the Western Conference All-Star? Do you want to monopolize this position and quota? You monopolize it with your mouth? Huh?" He jumped and said, "Come on, I'm afraid of you, you're so arrogant, it seems that Howard hasn't taught you how to be a man this season!"

"He taught me? Just relying on his ability to decline more and more?" Tang Qian smiled and said: "Ten balls, hurry up, get out early after hitting, don't delay our practice." "You damn Chinese ... Chinese! Just wait for me, and see if I don't torture you to death!" Bynum also didn't know how to spell blush, this kind of unfair bet, winning him is not a good thing, let alone...

There was no way he could win.

According to Tang Qian's own feeling, although he still can't defend against 30+ super scorers, the offensive firepower with an average of less than 30+ per game is basically a low pass kill, unless the opponent's state explodes, that's another matter.But do you expect An Zhu, a man who hasn't played for a year, to explode?That must be a joke.

Tang Qian reckoned that An Zhu could still average 10+ points per game at most, but right away, he knew he was wrong.

The Bynum in front of him doesn't have a scoring ability of 10+ points per game, he doesn't have 5+ points at all!The whole person gained weight!Although he was not as fat as he was in 2014, he hadn't conducted systematic training for a whole year, and his competitive state was already in a mess.

The fifth position in the NBA wants to gain weight, but it is definitely not fattening.

Tang Qian made ten balls, and all the balls slapped his opponent, which made him a little unbelievable.

Bynum refused to accept it and yelled to do it again. Tang Qian was of course willing to do so. He had another 9 blocks, one of which was missed because Andrew Bynum made an outside three-pointer.

"Again! Again! I can't believe I can't score a single ball!!!" Bynum seemed to be stimulated by this result, and kept yelling as he watched No. 29 of the Lakers. "Okay, I probably know your strength, and I can't test my depth in fighting with you." Tang Qian had no interest in continuing, and said, "Let's go, your current ability is not suitable for fighting at all." It's the NBA, and if you want to play, it's also a drinking fountain, would you like it?"

"Bastard! Bastard! You humiliated me! I'm going to beat you to death!" Bynum seemed to feel that his big contract was up, looking at Tang Qian as if he was looking at his own father-killing enemy, threw away the basketball and rushed towards Tang Qian latent.

"Idiot." Compared with when he first entered the NBA, Tang Qian's physique is much stronger now. Recently, the strength crystal brick has broken through to 6 and a half pieces, and the 400-pound bench press can basically be stabilized.In addition, in terms of weight, he also hired a dedicated nutritionist and strength trainer during the offseason, and he has steadily improved. Today, he weighed 268 pounds, which is a lot heavier than before.

Although it is less than 280 pounds of heavy centers, it is not a disadvantage. In fact, how many heavy centers weigh more than 280+ pounds in the league now?Tang Qian's weight is close to 270 pounds, and he has improved rapidly!So Bynum, who has been "blessed", is no longer his opponent in terms of pure strength.

Without any ability card or rage, Tang Qian did not retreat but advanced, dodged Bynum's fist, and then hit his head with a heavy blow.

bang~
Bynum didn't know if he had eaten too much recently, Tang Qian felt a greasy fist, and then our "worshiping emperor" fell to the ground in glory, unable to sleep, and passed out.

"Remember, in the future, I will be the chief center of the Lakers. It doesn't matter whoever comes." Tang Qian's words were not only for Bynum who fell to the ground, but also for all the Lakers: "If If you don't want to substitute me, then get out!"

"disappear as far as you can!"

Kobe looked at Tang Qian's prestige and didn't intervene, because the "deal" between him and Tang Qian had been reached, and now he only wanted to get familiar with his new body as soon as possible, and then kill all the way to the finals!The rest are not important!

Moreover, he was the first few who disagreed with Kupchak's plan to sign Bynum.

Looking at it today, Bynum has turned into such a ghost. If he signs it, the Lakers will definitely carry a "poison contract", and he will definitely be breathless in the next few years.Kobe never wanted this kind of guy to join the Lakers.

Especially this season, his last.

There is no room for sand!
"You! You thug! You beat my client??? I want to sue you!!! I want to sue you!!!" David Lee, Bynum's agent, ran over and said loudly when he saw this.But Tang Qian was no longer stupefied for a long time. He was already familiar with the American way of doing things, so he said in disdain: "First of all, he punched me first, and I only countered with a punch, and he can't help but punch himself. Do you blame me? Is it the law of the United States that you are only allowed to defend yourself, and you can’t defend yourself? And if you want to sue me, just sue. This is my lawyer’s phone number. If you have anything to do, go to him to negotiate. Don't talk too much with me. I still have to practice, so I don't have time to talk to you."

In the United States, going to court is a very common thing, and there is no need to be so entangled and afraid as in China. Like the celebrity circles in Europe and America, who has not filed a few lawsuits?Families with a slightly middle class have their own lawyers. Tang Qian followed suit and asked Zhou Zhiru to help him find one so as to cope with the national conditions of the United States.

"you……"

"What are you? Take him away! Do you need me to call the ambulance for you? I don't need to charge you for the phone call."

"Shameless! Scoundrel! Wait for me! Mr. Kupchak, why don't you come out and say something? Are you staying in the team with this kind of person? Are the Lakers trying to become an army of bad boys in the 80s? "In fact, Kupchak understood after watching the single-handed bullfight between the two. This Bynum is basically useless and useless. It is also a garbage contract that he signed. Maybe the verbal criticism he will receive in the future will be more severe. .

In this case, his face changed, and he said, "Andrew hasn't signed with us yet. He provoked the Lakers players by himself, and I can't stop him. Okay, David, I'll call an ambulance for you. Take Andrew with you." Let's leave first." "Leave? What about signing the contract? Didn't we agree..." Before David Lee finished speaking, Mitch Kupchak directly issued the "exit order" and said: "Didn't you just now He also said that there are many teams rushing to get Andrew? You can try it too, okay, let’s talk about the signing later, I still have something to do, so I’ll go back to the general manager’s office first.”

After finishing speaking, Kupchak slipped out with a disgraceful face. This time he was really stunned and lost face.

After David Li waited for the ambulance to arrive, he turned his head and said "ruthless words": "You wait!"

Tang Qian laughed and said, "Okay, I'll wait so I can leave."

After today's incident, the entire Lakers team has formed a faint fear of No. 29. Tang Qian's status in the team is also quietly rising and stabilizing.

……

Kupchak didn't know that the follow-up of this matter was still fermenting.

What's the meaning?It was Tang Qian who bypassed him and signed with the Lakers.

He was reminded by Laurie Blank, and only saw it on the Internet.

Signing scene photos of Tang Qian, Bonnie Laughlin and other Lakers management.

The smiles of the people above made Mitch Kupchak feel great irony. He dialed the phone angrily, and immediately asked: "Gade! What's the matter with you? Why did you get involved with Laughlin?" We went together? Without the consent of the general manager of the team, how can you sign the contract privately? This has no legal effect! This is not recognized by the league!!!”

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little confused, so he said, "Mitch? Calm down. I've read it. This is a legal and valid team contract extension. The league has also passed it. It has been successfully filed. You... ..." "Legal and valid??? Fart!!! Fart!!!" Mitch Kupchak shouted loudly at the phone: "Without my signature, how could it be valid? How could it be legal? How could it be filed successfully?? ? Have you been my general manager for so many years??? Ah???"

"Mitch! You have to figure it out. I'm just a notary. As long as it's legal and valid, I don't have the right to obstruct it!" Hearing Kupchak's tone, the other party got up in a hurry.

"Legal and valid? How can one be legal and valid??? Without my signature, how can one be legal and valid??? Ah??? You tell me!!!" Kupchak said to this behavior of bypassing himself, Very angry, he felt that his "personal belongings" had been flipped, and he was furious.

This is tantamount to ignoring himself and despising his authority in the team management!
As a person with a strong desire to control and control, how could Kupchak agree!How could he not be furious! ! !
"So you don't know. The team's shareholder meeting was held this morning. Ms. Bonnie Laughlin has been promoted from assistant general manager to deputy general manager. As the team's deputy general manager, she also has If you have any objection to my words, you can call Mr. Bass yourself to inquire. Sorry, if I have nothing to do, I will hang up first. Now it is private time, and I am not affected. Your control." The other end of the phone hung up angrily, he was in love with his lovely wife, and was interrupted, and even shouted all the way, who can be happy?

"What, what? Laughlin was promoted to deputy general manager? And got the right to sign a contract with a salary below the maximum???" Kupchak was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, and immediately dialed Jim The cell phone number of Bass, said: "Mr. Bass, what's going on? Why was Laughlin promoted to deputy general manager? Why..."

"Why why why??? You said why???" Jim Bass didn't have a normal tone when he heard Kupchak's voice. , come to ask me why? Howard, what did you say at the beginning? You can definitely stay. I patted my chest in front of the team’s shareholders and promised it. The result? They have gone to Houston now! You said you have remedial measures, recall All-star Bynum, the strength of the team will not be damaged too much, the result, the result is that he is now a useless person, he is useless at all, and he was directly beaten to the ground and carried away by an ambulance, you What else can I say? Let me tell you, I was scolded at the team's shareholder meeting today, but you were fine, and you asked me why? Let me tell you, Kupchak, if you can't do it again Okay, get out, I'll hire Gao Ming again. Did you hear that???" After finishing speaking, the other side hung up the phone.

Kupchak did not expect such a big change in the political situation of the team overnight. He even felt that this was just a dream.

The Lakers were originally not fully controlled by the Bass family. It also has many small shareholders. According to the current public information, the Bass family holds about 66% of the Lakers, and the old Bass has no shares. Give it to someone.After the old Buss died, the shares of the Lakers were inherited by his 6 children, but Jim Buss occupied a relatively large share.But Jenny Buss also has her own means. For example, among the 6 children, she has a die-hard supporter, that is the younger sister Jenny Buss. Before the small shareholders of the Lakers, the relationship is better and the connection is closer.

When the Jim Buss team messed up the Lakers, these small shareholders were a little dissatisfied, and Jenny took the opportunity to join forces, so this morning's scene happened.Little Buss was forced by everyone, so he could only make Bonnie Laughlin from Jenny's faction move up to the next level, from assistant general manager to deputy general manager.Moreover, Laughlin was forced to give Laughlin the right to sign with a non-maximum salary.

In fact, Jenny first asked for all the signing rights, but Bass fought hard and kept some of them.

But how did he know that this was simply a trap set by Jenny Buss, and this part was "deliberately given up". From the beginning to the end, Jenny Buss never thought about getting all the signing rights in one go.The biggest difference between her and Little Buss is that she is more forbearing, able to wait for the opportunity, and will not be too greedy for speed.

On this point, little Buss is too far behind Jenny.

Furthermore, Jenny Bass still has several backup players. She just likes to play steadily and eat away at every step. Otherwise, the team's shareholder meeting this morning would not have ended so easily.

Jenny Buss was sitting in a private mansion in Los Angeles, smiling while sipping red wine: "My dear brother, do you think this is the end? No, no, no, the good show has just begun."

"My purpose is not just to replace Kupchak with Bonnie."

"In the end I will replace you, that is my wish."

"It depends on how many days you can still be the head of the house."

Jenny Buss smiled, showing pride and confidence.
