Chapter 1607 Beyond the Existence of a Coach

The United States, California, Los Angeles, in the Los Angeles Consulate of the People's Republic of China, the event called "Sino-American Cultural Festival" is about to open.

As the officially designated "ambassador" of the China-US Cultural Festival, Lan Shengli also came to the scene early.

"today we,,,,"

"As Sino-American culture,,,,"

"I hope this time,,,"

Lan Shengli was reading the manuscript he had prepared in the background, making preparations.

After all, Lan Shengli's speech will be a very important item in this cultural exchange festival.

"I've never been to a place like a consulate~"

“It's really fresh~”

"This is all thanks to Lan Shengli, haha~!!"

Players such as Cole, Love, and Jordan also attended the event in uniform.

These players, who are already full of tendons, look out of shape instantly after wearing a slim suit, and they are like walking hangers.

"Sit down quickly~, the event will start soon~!!"

Here Mia reminds her "colleagues".

Mia's transformation has turned into a "field staff" at the scene.

Mia is busy, or you can call her a "volunteer".

In short, Mia has always supported Lan Shengli's affairs, no matter what it is, she will continue to support her vigorously.

The seats are basically full, and the preparations have been completed. Soon, the event officially begins.

Although the venue in the consulate is not big, the organizer still set up a simple stage, and it started with a lion dance with Chinese traditional characteristics.

Although the single lion dance does not have the dazzling coordination of many people, it looks more like a lion, a vigorous lion.

After the warm-up show, the Consul General came to the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, friends, good morning, I am the Consul General of the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in Los Angeles. I am very happy to meet you here and to witness the opening of our first China-US Cultural Exchange Festival~ !!"

The Consul General began his speech.

"California, as the gathering place with the largest number of Chinese, rationally needs more cultural exchange festivals like this, and Los Angeles, as a landmark city in California, also needs more Chinese culture~!!"

The Consul General continued.

"Next, we invite the ambassador of this festival's cultural exchange festival, as well as an outstanding Chinese representative in California, the head coach of the NBA Los Angeles Clippers——Mr. Lan Shengli to give a speech on stage, welcome~!!!"

"Crack clap clap!!!"

As the Consul General spoke, the audience immediately burst into applause, welcoming Lan Shengli's arrival on the stage.

"Thank you everyone~!!, thank you~!!, first of all, I am really grateful to Mr. Consul General for trusting me and letting me be this ambassador. I am really grateful~!"

Lan Shengli said to the Consul General who had already sat down under the stage.

"Today we gathered together, and there is only one thing we want to do, and that is cultural exchanges between China and the United States. In my opinion, as a Chinese who has lived in the United States all year round, such exchanges are to enhance the sense of belonging to the motherland of Chinese living in the United States. It’s an excellent way to learn about Chinese culture, and it’s also a good platform and opportunity for those who want to understand Chinese culture~”

Lan Shengli's speech has already begun.

"As a cultural exchange ambassador between China and the United States, I think I must first lead by example. I must first pass on more Chinese culture and positive energy to the people around me, from as small as a Chinese character to as large as 5000 years of history. ~, these all belong to Chinese culture~!!”

Lan Shengli continued to talk, basically not reading the script much, just starting to "improvise".

However, the idea of ​​the whole speech is still in accordance with the manuscript.

"Actually, when I was a teacher at UC Berkeley, I was committed to spreading Chinese culture and good things from China. After that, I became a basketball coach, learning why American basketball can dominate the world, and then brought this "secret recipe" to the world. After returning to China, I helped the Chinese men's basketball team to improve their level. This kind of teaching and learning, in fact, has already completed the cultural exchange in the dark ~, so we can find that the cultural exchange is actually not the same. Not only historical culture, but also current culture, cross-field culture~”

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"In fact, I just received a call from the Consul General. After arranging such a task for me, I was a little confused and hesitant. I was not sure if I could do such a job well, although I have always been a person who is willing to try. People who are new and good at taking on challenges, but this time is different, this mission is more sacred and meaningful, I can't be sloppy, and I can't be careless~!!"

As Lan Shengli talked, he began to take the sensational route.

"Next, I would like to talk about the representative things of Chinese and American culture~"

Lan Shengli read the manuscript this time.

"We all know that, in fact, cultural exchange is a process of seeking common ground while reserving differences. This process takes a long time, and it may not take too long~ Then I think, in terms of the word spirit, it is very different~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"In my opinion, the Chinese spirit can be summed up in one word: tenacity, the ups and downs of the Chinese nation. Over the years, it is because of this tenacious spirit that we have overcome one difficulty after another and become a powerful country today. , and the spirit of the United States is of course: freedom, people need freedom, everything needs freedom, if you can integrate the spirits produced in these two different environments, you will achieve extremely successful results~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"So I hope that this cultural exchange meeting can achieve such a situation, and personally, I think I can do more, and I hope I can do more~!!, I,,,"

Lan Shengli's speech was still going on, and everyone in the audience continued to listen attentively.

"Finally, I hope this cultural exchange will be a complete success~!!, thank you everyone~!"

"Crack, clap, clap!!!!"

At the end of the speech, Lan Shengli was also full of applause.

"Lan Shengli~, you are really not just a basketball coach, an NBA head coach is so simple, you are already an existence beyond a coach~!!, I really congratulate you~!!, let you do this culture The exchange ambassador is really correct~!!"

The Consul General in the audience also applauded and nodded, looking at Lan Shengli with an expression of approval, sighing secretly.

It is extremely rare to be praised by such a high-level person as the Consul General.

As the Consul General said, Lan Shengli is indeed an existence beyond the coach.
