"Mitch, I really can't stand this Wang Dapao. Let me tell you, if you let him stay with the Lakers, the Lakers will be really doomed next season!" As soon as he pushed the door in, D'Antoni immediately faced Kupp. Cheke filed a complaint. "What's wrong, Mike?" Kupchak's heart suddenly flashed, and he immediately secretly screamed that something bad had happened. Sure enough, Wang Dapao was not an easy man. The team had only been together for a few days, and he actually had an argument with the head coach. There is a contradiction. "He ignored my arrangements during training and openly questioned my tactical arrangements." D'Antoni said angrily: "I am the head coach of the team, and he is just a player, although I know that he is very important to the Lakers. It's very important, but if I allow him to do this, will I still have any authority as a head coach?" Pukucek was stunned, and then smiled bitterly. "Mike, what are you going to do?" D'Antoni was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said: "I haven't thought about it either, but at least let her learn to respect me as the head coach, right? Otherwise, let him start the new season After the start, the playing time will be reduced as punishment?" Pukucek's wry smile became more intense. "Mike, I really can't agree with this. I'm sorry." "Why?" D'Antoni quit now. He looked at Pukuchak angrily and asked in confusion: "Is it possible that a Is the player's reputation more important than my prestige as the head coach? If you allow him to do this, it will destroy the entire Lakers!" "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't do anything about it." He sighed. In one breath, Kupchak didn't explain anything to D'Antoni, but took out a contract from his office drawer. "This is a copy of the contract signed by the Lakers and Wang Dapao. You can look at the place I drew with a red pen." D'Antoni took the contract in confusion. He didn't know what it meant. What does the issue I'm discussing now have to do with Wang Dapao's contract? But when he took the contract and took a look at it, he was immediately stunned. "This is impossible" Looking at Kupchak in stunned silence, D'Antoni felt that his brain was about to overwork and burn out. "Mitch, what do you think? You would sign such a ridiculous contract with Wang Dapao?" "I don't want to, but I have nothing else to do." Kupchak said with a wry smile: "The current Lakers are really It's in jeopardy. Without the addition of a top star, can the Lakers continue to maintain high attention in the league? "But this is not an excuse for you to sign this kind of contract with Wang Dapao!" What else did D'Antoni say? . KupchakĄŻs brows furrowed. "Mike, since you have read the contract, you should also understand that these privileges I gave Wang Dapao are not without price. Wang Dapao needs to lead the Lakers into the playoffs and at least reach the semifinals. I think if Wang Dapao If he can really do this, it's not a bad idea to give him these privileges. " "But this is impossible!" D'Antoni said anxiously: "How can it be possible just by relying on his stupidity? How do you know this is impossible?" Kupchak asked. "Of coursewell." D'Antoni was about to say that this was absolutely impossible. But he suddenly thought of another person. Jeremy Lin, that inconspicuous little man. DidnĄŻt that guy come out of nowhere when he was almost desperate and save the Knicks and himself by winning a few games? Thinking of this, D'Antoni couldn't help but hesitate a little, because he found that these players from China seemed to have some jaw-dropping abilities. Yao Ming asked Barkley to kiss a donkeyĄŻs butt. Jeremy Lin's Lin Storm has become a household name. As for Wang Dapaothis guy's perversion can no longer be described in words. But grit your teeth. D'Antoni said: "I think this is absolutely impossible. If you don't believe it, I will find a way to prove this problem. Just wait and see!" After that, D'Antoni turned around and left, although he wanted to be direct. Just tell Kupchak that I'm not going to do it anymore. But he couldnĄŻt say these words after all. Because he also wants to prove that he can coach in the Lakers. He didn't want to leave the Lakers as a loser. Returning to the training field, what D'Antoni saw was a scene of three or four players gathering in a group to chat. DĄŻAntoni couldnĄŻt help but feel furious, Ą°What are you doing? Why donĄŻt you train?Ą± Seeing the hot-tempered DĄŻAntoni, the players did not dare to say anything more.?I immediately got back into training. And DĄŻAntoni also set his sights on Wang Dapao. Wang Dapao is not afraid of D'Antoni. He is just talking about the matter. If he really follows D'Antoni's tactical system, Wang Dapao will not be able to carry out his revenge plan after the start of the new season. ItĄŻs difficult to win, so why talk about revenge? "You said that my tactics are not good, and the team needs to play according to what you said, right?" D'Antoni looked at Wang Dapao and said: "Okay, now I give you the opportunity, you take the team's substitute players, Play a 20-minute training match with my main players. If you can win, then I will listen to you, but if you can't win, you have to listen to my arrangements on the court. How about it? "Wang Dapao looked at it? Looking at D'Antoni, he laughed happily. "Why are you laughing?" D'Antoni asked strangely. "It's nothing, the abacus is pretty good. I bring four substitute players to play with the main players of your organization? Haha!" Wang Dapao laughed again. D'Antoni's old face turned red, but he said: "What? You don't dare?" "What's the point of not daring?" Although he smiled, Wang Dapao was not afraid. To be precise, Wang Dapao was not afraid of this. According to De'Antoni, The Lakers are run by Anthony's tactical system. "We agreed, if I win, you will listen to me, right?" "Of course," D'Antoni soon gathered all the players and said, "Next, we will have a 20-minute internal training match. Now IĄŻm starting to assign players.Ą± The players looked at each other, a little confused as to why they suddenly continued the team training match. DĄŻAntoni naturally wonĄŻt talk about his bet with Wang Dapao. That would be a huge blow to his image. When DĄŻAntoni was divided into groups, the Lakers players were all stunned. The five players on the first team are Nash, Blake, Artest, Gasol and Hill. The five players on the second team are Farmar and Meeks. Wesley Johnson, Wang Dapao, and a backup center who was recently transferred from the Development League. The gap between the lineups of the two teams is really big. Standing on the court, everyone was wondering what this was going to do. Then the first team serves, and Nash controls the ball to half court, preparing to organize an attack. After all, this is not the Suns, and Nash has no sense of organization at all. Although Nash can still provide beautiful assists with his superb passing ability, compared with the Suns at that time, it is still far behind. No matter in terms of the trickyness of passing or the lethality, they are no longer the same. ??Especially, these Clippers players are standing on the court. Running around, it is difficult to get rid of defensive players, even if Nash wants to pass the ball. He couldn't convert it into assists effectively. In desperation, Nash could only temporarily hand the ball to Gasol, who was standing on the inside. After Gasol caught the ball, the substitute center who was guarding him turned around and shook his opponent away, raising his hand to send the basketball into the basket. But at this moment, a big hand shot out of the sky. Gasol's layup was directly hit on the backboard. Wang Dapao! Gasol looked up and what he saw instantly was this guy's smiling face. After blocking Gasol's layup, Wang Dapao immediately took the rebound into his arms and ran towards the frontcourt. Players from the first team began to quickly return to defense. Among them was Ci Shiping, who was able to resist Wang Dapao a little. But the effect of these defensive players is very average. Wang Dapao was very fast. When he rushed to the Lakers' three-point line, the retreating players had not yet found their feet. Wang Dapao made a smooth turn and passed the double-team of two defensive players. Then he dribbled under his hips to avoid Blake's steal and reached out to dunk the basketball into the basket. D'Antoni's brows twitched but he didn't say anything. He felt that even if Wang Dapao had an advantage with one or two goals due to his personal ability, would he be able to have an advantage in all 20 minutes of the game? Ą°Then, DĄŻAntoni became stupid. Because Wang Dapao really did it. For 20 minutes, Wang Dapao didnĄŻt take a moment to rest. He kept running on the court, attacking and defending. And in these 20 minutes, Wang Dapao scored 43 points, grabbed 13 rebounds, sent 6 blocks and 5 steals, and what's even more terrible is that he was able to send 7 assists. The number of assists is even more than that of Nash on the first team! 20 minutes later, the second teamThen easily won with a score of 59:45. "" D'Antoni was stunned. He never expected that the plot would be like this. After the game, Wang Dapao didnĄŻt run over to challenge DĄŻAntoni, but just looked at him. Although he just looked at it, D'Antoni already understood. Wang Dapao was saying, "Don't forget your bet with me. You lost." With a bitter smile, D'Antoni discovered that Wang Dapao was still He was worried about his own face and did not tell the matter in person. But, do you still have any face to speak of? His face was lost in front of Wang Dapao again. Although he was very unconvinced and helpless, D'Antoni had to admit one thing, that is, he lost. From now on, he would have to listen to Wang Dapao on the court. As a head coach, he was no longer in name only. But if you think about it carefully, D'Antoni didn't suffer much in this matter. Because according to the requirements of the abbreviation on Wang Dapao's contract, Wang Dapao has the final say on the team no matter what. D'Antoni doesn't think the Lakers will fall out with Wang Dapao because of him. Ą°As for the fight between myself and Wang Dapao, there is a high possibility that I will leave. It is for this reason that D'Antoni made this bet with Wang Dapao. This is D'Antoni's last struggle. If he wins, he can regain his sovereignty, and Wang Dapao will have to obey him obediently. If he loses, what he loses is just what was written in Wang DapaoĄŻs contract. Wang Dapao stated in the contract that he wants absolute ball rights, and the ball is in his hands. His own tactics and everything were useless, so the situation was about the same. Now that he has indeed lost, D'Antoni can only turn a blind eye to what Wang Dapao demands. Unless he doesnĄŻt want to work with the Lakers anymore. Although I hate to admit it, Wang Dapao has only joined the Lakers for a few days. He has already revoked his privileges as a head coach. Others donĄŻt know or understand the grudge between Wang Dapao and DĄŻAntoni. Although I don't know why D'Antoni didn't have a quarrel with Wang Dapao, this incident is obviously a good thing. After all, the head coach and the core of the team in the new season have a falling out, which is not a small matter for the Lakers. But no one noticed that Kobe looked at D'Antoni and Wang Dapao with deep meaning. The team has started training, which means the preseason is coming. When D'Antoni was arranging the preseason lineup, he unexpectedly discovered that Wang Dapao was not going to play in the preseason. Although it was a bit unexpected. But D'Antoni was not angry. On the contrary, he was a little happy. Because although there are not many games in the preseason, there is still a month. If he arranges it well and allows the Lakers to get a good result, Wang Dapao may see the highlights and give up his habit of going his own way. . DĄŻAntoniĄŻs idea is a good one. But the result shocked many people. Because the Lakers suffered a series of kneels at the beginning of the preseason. Although one of the reasons for this is that the main players do not play enough time, the main players on the opposite side also do not play much! But itĄŻs this kind of competition between soy sauces that seems fair. The Lakers still kept losing. We waited until the seventh game, relying on Gasol's outstanding performance, to get a victory. Subsequently, the Lakers began their losing streak again. DĄŻAntoni was completely dumbfounded now. He couldnĄŻt figure it out. There should be no problem with his tactics. Why does the team keep losing? Nash, the soul of running and gunning, is in the team, and the team also has excellent insiders like Gasol. Although Kobe is injured, there is no reason to lose like this! Is there really something wrong with my tactical system? DĄŻAntoni couldnĄŻt help but start to examine himself. At the same time, the Los Angeles media also began to criticize D'Antoni in various ways. And many people also became curious. What on earth is Wang Dapao doing? In more than a dozen preseason games, Wang Dapao did not play in any game, as if he had disappeared. If the Lakers officials had not announced that Wang Dapao would not participate in the preseason, they would have thought that Wang Dapao had disappeared. Fortunately, very soon, a day or two after the end of the preseason, Wang Dapao took the initiative to announce a piece of news. "In the first game of the regular season, I will officially represent the Lakers, everyone is looking forward to it!" Wang Dapao's words immediately attracted people's attention.With excitement, not only could Bin finally see Wang Dapao come out, but more importantly, the Lakers' opponent in the first game happened to be the Clippers! People havenĄŻt forgotten the reason why Wang Dapao joined the Lakers! He joined the Lakers to take revenge on Clippers owner Sterling, and he also said something in front of all the media. "I want to win all the games against the Clippers! I have booked all those wins!" What people like the most is this focus battle. The Lakers and Clippers are two enemies. Now because of Wang Dapao, Become more noticed. According to statistics from a certain TV station, the opening games of the regular season between the Clippers and Lakers are the most anticipated among the 15 opening games in the NBA. How widespread is its impact? In order to cater to Wang Dapao's remarks, the Lakers' home court had already adopted the slogan "Revenge". This sentence can be described as a double entendre. It not only represents Wang Dapao's revenge against Sterling, but also represents the Lakers' revenge against the Clippers. Take your own revenge in Los Angeles glory. Although the Lakers did not have the superstar Kobe Bryant to support them in this game, the arena was still filled with players cheering for the Lakers. It's just "Well, let's face it, there are so many people booing me. Do you think I'm going back to the situation I was in when I started a year ago?" Wang Dapao couldn't help but feel a little confused when he looked at the scene on the field. Secretly smacking his tongue. Because although there are many Lakers fans who support him on the court, there are also many Clippers fans who oppose him. Throughout the stadium, people could be seen everywhere holding up signs such as, "Traitor!" "Stooge!" "Rebel!" "Violent maniac!" Jersey number. This kind of scene only happened when Wang Dapao was attacked by Clippers fans after he first arrived at the Clippers and made arrogant remarks. Ą°I didnĄŻt expect that after coming to the Lakers, I would see such a scene again. For a moment, Wang Dapao felt a little emotional. Unknowingly, he had spent two years with the Clippers. At that time, he was only 26, and now he is 28. Although he was feeling sad, Wang Dapao was not prepared to show mercy, because he had already seen his target, the bastard who had been beaten to a broken nose by him. Sterling! ThatĄŻs right, in this game, he sat behind the Clippers bench with great fanfare, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with his mistress girlfriend, holding his hands on his chest, looking at the court with a serious face. When Wang Dapao was with the Clippers, Sterling might still be worried about something and not appear on the court. But now that Wang Dapao is a Lakers player, Sterling no longer has that worry. Even so, for the sake of safety, he still brought a bodyguard to sit next to him today. "If you have the guts, hit me again! I'll let the bodyguard kill you with one shot!" Sterling thought viciously in his heart. (To be continued)
