"Mickey, I really can't stand this King Cannon. I tell you, if he is allowed to stay in the Lakers, the Lakers will be really finished next season!"

As soon as he pushed the door in, D'Antoni immediately filed a lawsuit against Kupchek.

"What's wrong with Mike?"

Kupchek's heart broke out and immediately called a bad thing in his heart. Sure enough, Wang Dapao is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The team had only gathered for a few days and had a conflict with the head coach.

"He ignored my arrangements during training and openly questioned my tactical arrangements." D'Antoni said angrily: "I am the team's head coach, and he is just a player. Although I know he is very important to the Lakers, if I indulge him in doing this, can I still have prestige as the head coach?"

Pukuchek was stunned and then smiled bitterly. "Mike, what are you going to do?"

D'Antoni was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while, and said, "I haven't thought about it, but at least she should learn to respect me as the head coach, right? Otherwise, he would reduce his playing time after the new season starts to show punishment?"

Pukuchek's bitter smile became stronger and stronger.

"Mike, I really can't agree to this matter, sorry."

"Why?" D'Antoni stopped doing it now. He looked at Pkuchek with some angrily and asked in confusion: "Is the reputation of a player more important than the prestige of me, the head coach? If he is tolerated, it will destroy the entire Lakers!"

"It's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm really helpless." Kupchek sighed, and did not 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 see where I drew it with red strokes."

D'Antoni took over the contract in confusion. He didn't know what the meaning of it was. What is the relationship between the issue he was discussing now and Wang Dapao's contract?

But when he took the contract and took a look, he was immediately stunned.

“This is impossible…”

Looking at Kupchek in amazement, D'Antoni felt that his brain was about to overwork and burned.

"Mickey, what did you think? He would sign such a ridiculous contract with Wang Dapao?"

"I don't want to, but I can't do anything anymore." Kupchek said with a wry smile: "The Lakers are really in danger now. If there is no top superstar joining, can the Lakers continue to maintain high attention in the league?"

"But this is not an excuse for you to sign such a contract with Wang Dapao!" What else did D'Antoni say.

But Kupchek frowned. "Mac, since you have seen the contract, you should also understand that I give Wang Dapao these privileges to him at no cost. Wang Dapao needs to lead the Lakers into the playoffs and at least reach the semi-finals. I think if Wang Dapao can really do these things, it is not impossible to give him these privileges."

"But this is impossible!" D'Antoni said hurriedly: "How is it possible to fight alone with him alone with a brainless man?"

"How did you know this is impossible?" Kupchek asked back.

"Of course...well." D'Antoni was about to say that this was absolutely impossible. But he suddenly remembered another person.

Jeremy Lin, that inconspicuous little man.

Didn’t the guy who came out of nowhere when he was almost desperate and saved the Knicks and himself with his victory in several games?

Thinking of this, D'Antoni couldn't help but hesitate because he found that the players who seemed to come out of the Celestial Empire seemed to have some terrifying ability.

Yao Ming asked Barkley to kiss the donkey's butt. Jeremy Lin's Lin Fengshang has become a household name. As for Wang Dapao... this guy's perversion can no longer be described in words.

but......

Gripping his teeth, D'Antoni said: "I don't think this is possible. If you don't believe it, I will find a way to prove this problem. You can wait and see!"

After saying that, D'Antoni turned around and left, although he wanted to say to Kupchek directly, I'm quit.

But he couldn't say this after all. Because he wanted to prove that he was coaching in the Lakers. He didn't want to leave the Lakers as a loser.

Back at the training, D'Antoni saw three or four of the players gathered together to chat.

I couldn't help but feel angry in D'Antoni's heart, "What are you doing? Why don't you train?"

Seeing D'Antoni with a hot temper, the players didn't dare to say anything. They immediately devoted themselves to training again.

D'Antoni also focused on Wang Dapao.

Wang Dapao is not afraid of D'Antoni. He just talks about the matter. If he really follows D'Antoni's tactical system, after the start of the new season, Wang Dapao will not be able to implement his revenge plan at all.

It’s difficult to win, so what else can you talk about revenge?

"You said my tactics are not good, the team needs to play as you said, right?" D'Antoni looked at Wang Dapao and said, "Okay, now I will give you the chance. You will take the team's substitute players and play a 20-minute training game 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 field. How about it?"

Wang Dapao looked at D'Antoni and laughed happily.

"What are you laughing at?" D'Antoni asked strangely.

"It's nothing, the abacus is very good. I will take four substitutes to play with the main players in your organization? Haha!" Wang Dapao smiled again.

D'Antoni's old face turned red, but said, "What? You dare not?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Although he smiled, Wang Dapao was not afraid. To be precise, Wang Dapao was not afraid of the Lakers operating according to D'Antoni's tactical system. "I agreed that if I win, I'll listen to me, right?"

"That's certainly,"

Soon, D'Antoni gathered all the players and said, "Next we have a 20-minute internal training game, and now I will start assigning players."

The players looked at each other, wondering why they suddenly continued the team training game.

Of course, D'Antoni would not say that his bet with Wang Dapao was too great to deal with his image.

When D'Antoni finished grouping, all the Lakers players were stunned.

The five players on the first team are Nash, Blake, Artest, Gasol and Hill.

The five players of the second team are Famar, Mix Wesley Johnson, Wang Dapao, and a substitute center who was not named by Wang Dapao, who was recently transferred from the Development League.

The difference in lineup between the two teams is really a bit of a fight. Standing on the court, everyone wonders what they are going to do.

Then the team served, Nash took the ball through the half and prepared to organize the attack.

After all, this place is not the Suns, and Nash has no feeling of organizing it. Although Nash can still give beautiful assists with his superb passing ability, it is still much worse than the Suns at that time.

Whether it is the trickyness of passing or the lethality, it is no longer the same.

Especially, these Clippers players stand on the court and run around but it is difficult to get rid of the defensive players, even if Nash is willing to pass the ball, he cannot effectively convert it into assists.

In desperation, Nash could only temporarily hand over the ball to Gasol, who was standing in the inside.

After Gasol received the ball, the soy sauce substitute center who defended his soy sauce, turned around and shook the opponent away, and raised his hand to send the basketball into the basket.

But at this moment, a big hand broke out and directly slapped Gasol's layup on the rebound.

Wang Dapao!

Gasol looked up and saw this guy's smiling face in an instant.

After blocking Gasol's layup, Wang Dapao immediately put the rebound into his arms, and then Sa Yazi ran towards the frontcourt.

The players of the first team began to return to defense quickly, including Ci Shiping, who could slightly resist Wang Dapao.

However, the effect of these players returning to defense is very average.

Wang Dapao was very fast. When he rushed to the Lakers' three-point line, the players who retreated were not yet firmly standing. Wang Dapao turned around and directly passed the double-team of the two defensive players. Then a dribbled under his crotch to avoid Blake's steal and reached out to dunk the basketball into the basket.

D'Antoni's brow jumped and didn't say anything. He felt that even if Wang Dapao had an advantage with his personal ability, could he have all the advantages in 20 minutes of the entire game?

Then, D'Antoni was foolish.

Because Wang Dapao really did it.

In 20 minutes, Wang Dapao did not rest for a moment and kept running on the court, attacking and defending.

Then 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 could even give 7 assists.

The number of assists actually exceeded that of Nash in the first team!

20 minutes later, the second team won easily 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 did not run over to provoke D'Antoni, but just looked at him.

Although he just looked at it, D'Antoni had already understood it. 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 concerned about his own face and did not tell this matter in person.

However, do you still have the face? Your face will be lost in front of Wang Dapao.

Although he was very dissatisfied and helpless, D'Antoni had to admit one thing, that is, he lost. He would listen to Wang Dapao on the field in the future, and his head coach was already in name only.

But thinking about it carefully, D'Antoni did not suffer any losses in this matter.

Because according to the abbreviation requirements of Wang Dapao's contract, Wang Dapao has no way to decide the team, and D'Antoni does not think that the Lakers will have a quarrel with Wang Dapao because of him.

And the fight between himself and Wang Dapao is very likely to be leaving by himself.

It is precisely this reason that D'Antoni made this bet with Wang Dapao. This was D'Antoni's last struggle.

If he wins, he will be able to regain sovereignty, and Wang Dapao must listen to him obediently.

If you lose, what you lose is nothing but what Wang Dapao has written in the contract. Wang Dapao stated in the contract that he must have absolute ball rights, and the ball is in his hands. His tactics and other things are useless, and the situation is almost the same.

Now, I did lose, so D'Antoni could only turn a blind eye to what Wang Dapao asked for.

Otherwise, unless he doesn't want to do it in the Lakers.

Although he was unhappy to admit it, Wang Dapao had already banned his privilege as the head coach in just a few days after joining the Lakers.

Others don’t know the grudge between Wang Dapao and D’Antoni, nor do they understand. Although they don’t know why D’Antoni didn’t make a fuss with Wang Dapao, this matter is obviously a good thing. After all, the head coach and the team’s core of the new season are not a trivial matter for the Lakers.

However, no one noticed that Kobe's eyes at D'Antoni and Wang Dapao were full of profound meaning.
