"Shi Lei, plus there are two games left in this game, you must perform well and you must stay. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" When he appeared on the stage, Shi Lei clenched his fists and said to himself.

There was no room for him to retreat, either to stay or to leave completely, to repeat the footsteps of life he had already experienced once.

I didn't get the opportunity to complain, but I got the opportunity, but I didn't catch it, who to blame?

Thinking like this, Shi Lei is not the only one, most players have such a sense of urgency in their hearts, so the offense and defense of the two teams are like a plate of loose sand, full of all kinds of singles, even if it is an orthodox point guard, at this time, they will choose to shoot a stable person to pass, in order to add an assist to their own data.

There was no one to pass the ball, and after running back and forth in vain for three rounds, Shi Lei had to choose to rely on his own ability to fight for the opportunity to perform. Although he knew it was wrong, he had no choice, and he broke into the interior again.

"Ahh

Shi Lei desperately resisted the tall and thin man of the Spurs, and grabbed the falling rebound with both hands. Suddenly, he felt a pair of hands behind him push him, which caused his body to deviate from the direction in which the rebound fell.

Safely landed on the floor, controlled his center of gravity, glared at Shi Lei, who was in the center of the opponent, and finally controlled his anger. In order to continue the next games, but also to be able to stay.

"It's a desperate little man, he actually chose to go inside to grab rebounds? Didn't his coach tell him about the importance of movement in the offense as a scorer? ”

Like seeing something funny, Chip. Engelland, exaggeratedly spread his palms, as a defender-turned-coach, he said he couldn't understand what this young man was doing.

"That's not something we think about, the important thing is that Ian actually fouled this time, he can't always control his fouls, and that's a big problem."

Popovich doesn't care about Shi Lei, he cares about Ian. Masimmi.

"So he's not on our radar this year, is he?"

"Be patient, it's never easy to develop an interior lineman, he's still young, and coming to the NBA too early is not a good choice."

"Hopefully he'll be able to fix it next year!"

When the two were talking, Shi Lei was still working hard for his first stats, and today he met a difficult opponent, very tall, good bounce, running fast, and very single, fouling if he couldn't grab the rebound, which made Shi Lei's anger a little stronger.

Well, in fact, the opponent did not mean it.

"Ahh

In this under-basket confrontation, Shi Lei, who was furious, used an "elbow technique" that he didn't even know about, causing the Spurs' center to meet him with his chin aggressively.

Ian. Ma Simmy proved with fearless courage that it really hurts to be knocked on the chin!

Shi Lei is also well-behaved, he fell on the floor during the confrontation, and saw the opponent lying on the ground with the peripheral vision of his eyes, holding his face in pain, he immediately consciously roared in pain, and rolled around holding his arm.

The cry is better than Ian. Masimmi is even more poignant.

"Oh!"

Popovich only felt a light in his eyes.

That elbow is not Ma Long's "Utah Iron Elbow", it is not so fierce. It's not Kobe's "L.A. elbow" either, it's not so floaty. Looking at the angle and style of this shot, it is very similar to Oakley's "New York elbow" who has just announced his retirement.

Popovich's guess was very accurate, and this elbow was inherited from "Wicked" Oakley.

Shi Lei's first template Joan. Jackson, who had attended Oakley's New York training camp, was the best student of the class, and he received personal guidance from Oakley, including his infamous "elbow skills".

"Oh God, he's not playing, he's hitting people, and he has to be punished."

See Ian. Masimmi's painful look, Chip Engelland's crazy roar on the sidelines.

And then...... Ian. Masimmi was fouled for grabbing a rebound!

Shi Lei saw that his hidden "elbow technique" really played a deceptive role, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh my gosh, it's an amateur penalty."

After seeing the referee's decision, he ran to the other side and didn't bother with himself. Engeland had no choice but to complain about this to Popovich beside him.

"Okay, Chip, don't worry about it, Ian did foul. What do you think of that three? ”

Popovich pointed at Shi Lei and asked his assistant coach.

"The yellow-skinned kid? It's bad, I've never seen a player like this and I don't know where he is on the pitch at all. "Chip. Engelland pouted and expressed his opinion to Popovich.

"But he's not without merit, is he?"

"Pros? I didn't find it? You say it's a rebound? ”

"No, no, no, that's ridiculous, and that only shows one thing, his coach isn't qualified. I'm talking about his strength, his ability to fight against Ian, his good jump, his speed, and he's good here. Popovich pointed to his head. Obviously, Shi Lei's performance of lying down and rolling has become a plus point here in Popovich.

"You want to say..... Are you going to give him a place? ”

Chip Engelland grew his mouth in surprise.

"Why not? , I don't think the Celtics will need him. ”

Popovich is here to speak, and he always seems to be able to find the deepest hidden glow in players that others would consider rubbish.

"Well, you have the final say, but I don't think it's the right choice."

"Perhaps, but who knows?"

Many years later, when people saw this series of Shi Lei's performances again, they didn't understand how Popovich judged the extraordinary quality of such a player at that time, and even Shi Lei himself was ignorant, but it was his elbow style and lying down heroism that left him a little bit of place in the heart of a legendary coach. This made the legend of the legendary coach more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and at the same time, it also changed the entire trajectory of Shi Lei's life.

Five points, five rebounds, one assist, one block, seven turnovers.

Eight points, nine rebounds, three assists, eight turnovers.

In the last two games, Shi Lei got such data, ending all the schedules of the entire summer league.

"I'm sorry, Shi, you don't have a place on the team, you might be able to try it out on another team. Of course, you can choose to go back to Boston with the team and make a decision. ”
