Chapter 1157 A Meaningless Game (Part [-])
In a sports league with a majority of blacks in the NBA, safeguarding the interests of blacks is the most important thing, and the NBA also values ​​this most.

So in each season, a separate month will be used to honor black athletes in the league with the "Martin Luther King" month.

So when there is a racist situation in the NBA, it will definitely become the target of public criticism.

This is the case with Clippers owner Sterling today.

His remarks not only got himself into enormous trouble, but also made the team lose their competitiveness and fighting spirit in an instant.

In Game [-] back at the Staples Center, the Clippers lost a game, and the suspense of the series was kept alive.

Lan Shengli was not very satisfied with Sterling's lack of expression, so he called the general manager directly after the game and asked.

"Mr. General Manager, why hasn't Sterling issued an apology for so long~?!"

Lan Shengli asked sharply.

"I'm more anxious about this matter than you are, but after all, it's a big matter, and an apology statement will take a certain amount of time~"

The general manager responded.

"That means Sterling is not that sincere~!!, I am really disappointed in him~!!, look at our game tonight~, our performance will only get worse~"

Lan Shengli said in a tone of despair.

"This requires you, you have to work hard to bring the team back on track~!!"

The general manager responded.

"I will work hard, but before that, I thought, can I finish a call with Mr. Sterling and share with him some thoughts of me and the players~!!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"This matter seems to be a bit difficult. It is difficult for me to contact Sterling now, let alone you~"

The general manager responded.

"Hey~, how could this be~"

Lan Shengli sighed and shook his head.

"I know that the situation of the team is very difficult now, and I also know that you are working very hard to bring the team back on track. After all, we have already reached the Western Conference semifinals, so you should try your best~!!"

The general manager responded.

"Hey~"

Lan Shengli shook his head, sighed, and hung up the phone.

Today's Lan Shengli is also very helpless. The team has not received an apology from Sterling, and the players still have the possibility of "strike". All bad situations have come to the Clippers.

"I must find a way to contact Sterling, I must~!!"

Lan Shengli thought to himself.

Because it was too late, Lan Shengli didn't take any further action, and returned home soon.

"Thank you, dear~"

Here, after Lan Shengli returned home, Mia hugged Lan Shengli, gave Lan Shengli a comforting kiss, and said.

"Nothing~"

Lan Shengli responded.

"How does the media comment on Sterling now, and what is the direction of public opinion~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"It must be verbal criticism now. I heard that there will be demonstrations on several main streets near the Staples Center tomorrow. I really don't know what will happen~!!"

Mia responded with a worried expression.

"It's good to do this, it can put some pressure on Sterling and his family. Judging from the current situation, Sterling really doesn't seem to have the intention of apologizing and repenting~!!, this is the one that disappoints me the most. Something~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

"It is impossible for such a big matter to pass in such a muddle~!!, Sterling has to make a statement~!"

Mia said angrily.

"That's right, I think so too, I'm going to find a way to contact Sterling tomorrow and have a good chat with him~!"

Lan Shengli said with firm eyes.

"You have to pay attention to some wording~!!, otherwise it will be very dangerous~!!"

Mia reminded.

"I see, don't worry~, I have my sense of proportion, and now I am not afraid of anything, after all, Sterling has no reason to talk about this~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Well, get ready to sleep, you've had a busy day~!"

"Hmm~"

The two of them talked and walked towards the bedroom.

Another day passed and still no statement from Sterling or his family.

The pain in the hearts of those who have been hurt is even heavier.

"It's not for anything else, even if it is to allow us to enter the sacred marriage hall as soon as possible, I have to work hard to complete some things~!!"

The next day, Lan Shengli got up early. After cleaning up, he looked at Mia who was still sleeping soundly on the bed, thought to himself, and left home soon.

Lan Shengli first came to the office building, and after inquiries from all parties, he got the contact information of Sterling's Clippers consultant.

"Although I couldn't get Sterling's phone number, it's enough to get in touch with this affairs consultant~"

Lan Shengli dialed the phone, and while waiting for the connection, he thought to himself.

"Hi, hello, who~!?"

Soon, the call was connected.

"Hello, I'm Bruce, I'm just asking on behalf of all Clippers players, when will Mr. Sterling issue an apology statement, we need him to stand up~!!"

Lan Shengli said straight to the point.

"This matter is beyond the scope of your work, I think you'd better lead the team to play games to be more realistic~!!"

Sterling's affairs consultant said with a very tough attitude.

"As the head coach of the team, I have an obligation to know these things, you can't hide them~!!"

Lan Shengli also responded in a tough tone.

"I really have no right to tell you~, I still have things to do, goodbye~!"

As the affairs consultant spoke, he hung up the phone directly.

"Hey~, such an attitude is really chilling~"

Lan Shengli put down the phone, shook his head, and sighed.

After leaving the office building, Lan Shengli quickly went to the training hall.

"Are we going to have that meaningless game~?!"

Here, Harden was waiting at the entrance of the training hall, looking at Lan Shengli who came over with a cold expression, and asked.

"The truth is like this~"

Lan Shengli said in a helpless tone.

"If we still haven't received any apology before the start of the game, then we are going to strike as a protest~!"

Harden said in a firm tone.

"Are you really sure you want to do this~?!"

Lan Shengli asked with a worried expression.

"Are you really sure you want us to have this meaningless game~?!"

Harden asked back.

Harden's question directly stopped Lan Shengli from asking.

"Yeah, I know it's a meaningless thing, but I still want you to do it. How did I become like this now~, haha~"

Lan Shengli smiled wryly and shook his head in response.

"I don't even know myself now, haha, what a ridiculous thing this is~!!"

Lan Shengli shook his head and continued to sigh.
