Chapter 1155 Extremely Negative
"We deeply regret Sterling's racist remarks and thoughts. The NBA will thoroughly investigate this matter. The NBA is an open and inclusive professional sports league. Players in the country pursue their dreams, so we will never allow any racism to appear. This is not allowed by the NBA, but also by the entire American society. I hope that Mr. Sterling can change his past and eliminate the evils brought to our league. Those negative effects will give the NBA a fair and just competitive environment~!!"

Two days after the Sterling recording incident, the NBA quickly issued an open letter, which can be regarded as giving Sterling a chance to reform.

But Sterling still did not make any statement, and his Sterling family still did not make any statement about the Recording Gate incident.

In such a general environment, the third game of the series between the Clippers and the Mavericks began.

"Sterling's racist remarks are unacceptable and anti-human~!!, he should be punished~!!"

"No one wants to play for such an owner. Sterling has not set an example for a team owner~!! His remarks are disappointing~!!"

"Sterling must apologize and give us a reason~!!"

Outside the Staples Center, fans said indignantly during an interview.

Sterling's remarks seem to have aroused public outrage.

"Sterling, I apologize~!!"

"Sterling, I apologize~!!"

"Sterling, I apologize~!!"

Subsequently, the fans began to protest in unison.

"No matter what happens to the team, no matter what off-court factors, I hope we can focus as much as possible, although I know it is difficult, but as professional players, even if you are fighting for yourself now, you must continue to work hard ~!!"

In the locker room, Lan Shengli said to the players.

"Why hasn't Sterling apologized~?!, two days have passed~!!"

Harden asked.

"This matter has to be discussed in the long term, so we'll wait, I believe Sterling will apologize~!!"

Lan Shengli replied.

"Working for such a boss, no matter what kind of results I get, I feel ashamed~!"

Little Jordan still said angrily.

"I'm the same as you now, and I want to get an apology as soon as possible, an attitude of admitting mistakes, but before that, we have to do our own work well, don't we~!"

Lan Shengli reminded the players.

"It's not easy to reach the semi-finals, so I hope we can seize the opportunity and move on~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to encourage the players.

"I also know that due to some things that happened in the past two days, we didn't prepare for the battle and set up tactics seriously, so for tonight's game, I don't have any requirements, just play as hard as you can~!!, come on~ !!"

Lan Shengli continued to exhort.

"Sterling, rubbish~!!"

"Sterling, rubbish~!!"

"Sterling, rubbish~!!"

In the arena, the fans cursed in unison.

In a game of the level of the playoff semifinals, the fans of the home team yelled at the owner of their team in unison. Such a scene seems to have never happened in the history of the NBA.

During the conversation, the players from both sides had already arrived on the field. Just like the two teams agreed before, both sides wore their training uniforms backwards to protest in this way.

"Yeah~!!!"

"Crack~!!"

The behavior of the players on both sides also made the audience immediately cheer and applaud.

For things like this, fans and the media, no matter how much pressure the NBA puts on them, is not as important as the pressure the players put on them.

After all, the NBA wants to run, and a team wants to run, and the players are the most important.

The players on both sides quickly threw the reversed training uniforms near the middle circle, and then returned to the bench with sharp expressions.

When this happened, the camera quickly found NBA President Stern who came to the scene to supervise the battle.

Stern, with gray hair, was on the phone, and his expression didn't seem to change much.

But for the players to make such a move, as the president of Stern, it is definitely very unpleasant.

"Do our best to win the game. We are now leading 2:0. As long as we win this game, it will be 3:0. It is almost guaranteed to enter the Western Conference Finals, so we have a chance to make history~ !!, no matter how difficult it is, I believe that our team members are the best~!!"

Lan Shengli continues to inspire the players.

Incentives belong to incentives, but after the game started, the Clippers players were obviously out of shape.

The few people on the field felt as if they had just lost their love, their expressions were out of their minds, without the desire to win and strong fighting emotions before, the whole game state was negative.

The Mavericks played very well. After all, this matter did not have a great impact on them. Besides, they have lost two home games in a row. They fell behind 0:2. Just do your best to get it.

"The players didn't communicate at all on the court, and they didn't even make eye contact. It's really embarrassing for them to play at this juncture~, hey~"

Lan Shengli sighed secretly while watching the game.

"Otherwise, let Bass and other players try it~!! After all, they only signed with the team for one year. Even for their future contracts, I think they will still work hard~!"

Lan Shengli continued to think.

"Dum~!!!"

Taking advantage of the gap of the mandatory timeout, Lan Shengli made substitution adjustments, and Bass and other substitute players appeared on the stage.

"Swipe~!!!"

"Swipe~!!!"

Although Bass was still able to hit the mid-range shot steadily when he came up, Nowitzki here also feels good.

"Swipe~!!!"

"Swipe~!!!"

The German's consecutive three-pointers directly brought the point difference to more than 15 points.

"There is no defense at all~!!, hey~, you can't play like this~!!"

Harper shook his head and sighed as he looked at the uninterested state of the players on the field and the widened point difference.

"Harden runs here, then catches the ball, George screens for Love at the other end, and then Love comes to the top arc to catch the ball, do support, two people cross the bottom line~"

During the break between festivals, Lan Shengli was still conscientiously drawing tactics for the players.

There is no passionate encouragement, no inspiring speeches, only calm talk about tactics and games.
