202. The Clippers are finished

Chen Hanni said that it is really unreasonable for Liu Ren to be stupid and have stupid blessings, even if Liu Ren puts aside the affairs of the national team by himself and does not affect his emotions because of this matter, but the attack on him by the media and fans is still a troublesome matter, which will make Liu Ren impatient. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

But a fool is really a fool, and before the criticism of Liu Ren reached the highest point, someone came out to help him block this storm of public opinion.

This "big guy" is none other than Sterling, the owner of the Clippers.

The Clippers have been hot recently, they are the most watched team in the NBA with 17 consecutive wins, and this time Liu Ren was criticized and did not overwhelm their popularity, everyone wants to see if the Clippers can get 18 consecutive wins, because 18 consecutive wins is a very magical hurdle, except for the Rockets, all other teams that have won 18 consecutive wins won the championship that year!

The Clippers' roster and coaching staff are all championship configurations, and the players are all healthy and in good shape, and if they win 18 in a row, they are expected to become the biggest favorites for the championship immediately.

Therefore, every move of the Clippers is the focus of the sports world!

Now is the time when the Clippers are smooth sailing, the right time and place are all right, the Spurs, the Lakers they have all beaten, Los Angeles, a big market league, also wants them to win the championship, the players are in good shape, there is no shortage of anything.

At this time, it is difficult for others to do something against the Clippers, and it is difficult for a team in a winning streak to have any rumors that can interfere with them, for example, Griffin wants to go to the Lakers, this rumor was still believed before, even if the Lakers played so badly last season, some people believed it, but now no one will believe it, it can be said that the current Clippers have reached the strength of the invulnerability of the divine body.

However, if they had died on their own, there would have been no way.

But this seemingly impossible thing really happened!

The conversation between Clippers owner Scott and his little girlfriend was exposed by the recording!

On March 17, the notorious paparazzi website TMZ exposed a recording of a conversation between Sterling and his young girlfriend, in which the Clippers owner accused his girlfriend of putting a photo of him with his black friend on his personal page, saying that he hated black people, did not want to see black people appear in front of his eyes, and did not want black people to appear on his team's home court.

And Sterling named him, saying, "Especially don't see Magic Johnson come to the Staples Center to watch the game."

Sterling is confident in saying that he owns 30 percent of the Staples Center, the highest private owner of the Staples Center, even though the 30 percent stake has only increased to $60 million.

But now Sterling has stabbed a big basket, racial discrimination is a very serious problem in the United States, and it is more serious than homicide in terms of public opinion!

Seventy percent of the players in the NBA are black, and the Clippers have 10 black people, and their core members are all black except for Redick, and even Redick is a staunch anti-racist member.

Sterling earned money from black people playing hard while talking about discriminatory words against black people, and the Clippers went from peak to collapse at once!

And Magic Johnson is now the world's ambassador for AIDS, he is a rare pioneer in the tenacious cure of AIDS after suffering from AIDS, coupled with his super popularity in the United States, Sterling has poked a big basket at this time.

Magic Johnson was the first to issue a statement that all of his restaurant and hotel brands refused to host Sterling and issued a strong condemnation.

Seeing the news of Sterling, Liu Ren knew that the Clippers were finished this year!

For a time, all the media aimed their guns on Sterling, and local blacks in California quickly rushed to the Staples Center to march, and a demonstration-march-march was also held in front of the NBA headquarters in New York, demanding that the NBA league expel Sterling from the NBA, and even outside the Pentagon in Washington, the capital of the United States, a large number of anti-discrimination masses gathered to demand Sterling's expulsion from the United States.

The United States is angry, and other countries are watching the excitement, but to the surprise of people in other countries, there are many whites and yellows among these demonstrators, and these whites and yellows seem to be more excited than blacks.

Problems are also starting to arise within the Clippers, and Rivers wants to keep the players out of the way and persuade them to separate basketball from race.

But does this mean that separate is separated?

In the game between the Clippers and the Hawks that night, four players of the Clippers refused to play, and Barnes was of course one of them, according to the grapevine, he rushed directly to Sterling's office to hit someone, but Sterling ran away as soon as the recording was exposed, and returned to the heavily guarded Beverly Hills to hide.

The Clippers players, who had suffered a huge psychological blow, were all in no mood to play against the Hawks, from Paul to Powell at the end of the bench.

There were several anti-Sterling demonstrations by fans at the game that night, and the local police department in Los Angeles sent 100 police officers to maintain order at the scene.

The Clippers' winning streak came to an end as they lost 70-110 to the Hawks by 40 points.

But now everyone's attention is not on the Clippers' own record, originally the Clippers fans are mostly black salarymen, local fans in Los Angeles who have bought Clippers season tickets have asked for refunds, fans who have bought tickets for the next few games have also refunded their tickets, and those who have not refunded their tickets are ready to protest on the spot.

On March 18, the Clippers played the Mavericks back-to-back, and the Clippers players in the spirit of professionalism still played, but none of them had the heart to play for the boss who discriminated against them.

The seats were empty, with less than 30% of the seats, and there were sparse seats all over the seats, each holding a sign against Sterling.

The scene was an interesting scene, with hundreds of police officers gathered in front of the sidelines and in the aisles, and the neat police team looked more than the fans.

The league and the major broadcasters urgently canceled the live broadcast of this game to prevent the matter from continuing to make a big fuss.

Liu Ren turned off the TV and continued to read his favorite books on psychology, which helped him a lot on the court.

He likes a sentence in Sun Tzu's Art of War the most: Be good at scheming, and attack the heart first. He learned a lesson from this personal experience, that the shaken faith can have too much impact on a player! It's obviously the same person, but if your heart is greatly affected and your beliefs are shaken, the difference in your performance on the field will be very big!

Liu Ren finally understood why Lawson, Odom and others suddenly declined, and they must have encountered something that shook their basketball beliefs.

Now he's working on this and is ready to test it on his next opponent, and maybe it will work well.

If he fails, it doesn't matter, his elementary school teacher said that it doesn't hurt to read more books.

The past two days have all been the things that have suffered to the Clippers, and I have to say that Liu Ren's thoughts now are much worse than when he was a fan in his previous life. used to be lively, but now Liu Ren only has a dislike for Sterling, this guy brought something that shouldn't be linked to basketball to the NBA!

By March 20th, things for the Clippers not only did not subside, but intensified! The Clippers are plunged deeper into the maelstrom of public opinion.

Liu Ren is disgusted with Sterling, it is Paul who is unlucky, he feels sorry for Paul, Paul is unlucky this year, but in the end, this matter has nothing to do with him, he is more concerned about the next game with Spurs!
