Chapter 32: The Ruling (II)

After finishing this game against the Warriors, Shi Lei seems to have gained Popovich's trust. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Yes, in the next three games, Shi Lei got the opportunity to play in a row, and the time was about five minutes. There is also White, who has played almost the same time as Shi Lei, but the two of them have never played at the same time.

"Do you think we're rivals now, brother?"

When the light gradually began to replace the role of the sun on people, White, who bent over like a cheetah, controlled the basketball in his hand, and asked Shi Lei, who kept moving with his footsteps.

The outstretched arm shook slightly, and with the sound of White slapping the basketball, Shi Lei moved his body around.

"Yes, the coach is making the choice, it's between me and you."

As if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, Shi Lei's tone was calm, just like his face, dull and dull.

Shi Lei is introverted by nature, but he likes to laugh. The reason why when I was playing, I looked more and more like a small "stone Buddha" was because of nervousness.

doesn't have much experience in the game, and even when there are many people, he will stumble when he speaks, so that every time Shi Lei appears on the stage, he is actually very nervous. In order to cover up this, Shi Lei deliberately imitated Duncan's expression.

"That's terrible."

White's words were a little uninteresting, and even when he slapped the basketball, he became weak.

"That's fate, brother, you kill me, or I'll kill you, because we can't kill anyone else."

Shi Lei's tone was still calm, but when he gambled and stole the basketball controlled by White, and used extremely destructive actions to pour the basketball into the basket fiercely, it clearly showed that his heart was not as calm as his tone.

"One bench player, take out another bench player, and then continue to sit on the bench, right?"

White said with a self-deprecating expression.

Shi Lei got down from the basket and shrugged: "Yes, bench, we belong there." ā€

"It disgusts me."

"We can't change it, at least not for the time being. Don't want to give it a try?"

Shi Lei threw the basketball to White, walked to the sideline and sat down.

"How about we go to Europe together? Get out of this damn place. ā€

Looking at the hoop, White, who seemed to be thinking about something, suddenly turned his head and asked Shi Lei.

Shi Lei shook his head with a wry smile, and did not speak, White could go to Europe, but he didn't seem to be able to. Having played any professional games and making only a handful of appearances at the Spurs, is there any team that needs such outside reinforcements?

He was very skeptical.

In fact, they didn't know that in the team's conference room not far from the training hall, their fate was about to be decided.

"With three games to go, gentlemen, the regular season is coming to an end, it's time to think about the playoffs, and I'd like to get your opinions."

At Popovich's signal, Horn, the team's assistant technical director, turned on the large screen on the wall. That's the current standings of the East and West teams. Although everyone knows that the Spurs are in third place, it is impossible to catch up with the Suns in second place, and they will not be overtaken by the Jazz behind them.

"Our opponent in the first round will be the Denver Nuggets."

As Horn spoke, he clicked on the information of the Denver Nuggets, and the avatars of the players flashed one by one, and under the avatars, there were dense personal information and technical characteristics of the players.

"They're a problem, but any one of them has the ability to dictate the game, so I think that's going to be a big problem for our perimeter defense."

P.J. Calesimo didn't name "them", but everyone knew that they were referring to Cameron. Anthony and Allen. Iverson.

"Outside defense. Okay, is there anything else, gentlemen? ā€

Popovich typed the suggestion into his computer and asked.

"We have to think about rebounding, sir, Kenyon. Martin and Marcus. Camby's rebounding ability will be a huge challenge for us inside, so I think Elson would be the best starting center, although Oberto will be more helpful to the team most of the time. ā€

In response to Don Newman's suggestion, Popovich frowned and put a question mark behind Oberto's name.

"I think Oberto is better, the pressure is mainly on the perimeter, and Elson's poor shooting percentage will give the Denver man the confidence to pack Thiem."

P.J. Calesimo did not approve of Elson's start, which was also echoed by Chip Engelland.

"Well, three games to go, and our last game against the Nuggets is a better game to start, let this game tell us. Anything else, gentlemen? ā€

In the Don. Before Newman spoke again, Popovich interrupted the internal war of words.

"There's also the final twelve-man squad, there's nothing to discuss on the inside, but on the outside we have to make a choice, Udri and Quinn, James and Shi, and I've got a stat of them here."

As the main task of training for the team, Chip. Engelland, who seemed to be more prepared, walked up to Horn, the technical assistant, and took control of the big screen from his hands.

"Udri and James will help the team more offensively, Quinn's stats are not dominant, but we have to take into account his experience, Stone will probably help Bruce a little, he has a lot of defensive enthusiasm, but we can't predict whether his poor game experience will fit into the playoffs. And James is even more valuable for cultivation! ā€

Chip. Engeland took control of the big screen and clicked on the folder he had prepared, and talked eloquently.

Although Shi Lei is stronger than White defensively, on offense, Shi Lei, who insists on shooting practice, is still not White's opponent.

Shi Lei's shooting was not decisive enough, this was the judgment of the coaching staff, but the real reason was that Shi Lei's passing was better.

In the same position, White will force a shot, but Shi Lei can see his teammates in the gap and choose to make a more threatening pass.

But in the short playing time, Shi Lei did not get an excellent evaluation of the overall situation.

"With Barry, Finley, Manu, Bruce, we don't have much of a problem with the No. 2 and No. 3 spots, but we only have Parker at the No. 1 slot, so neither Quinn nor Udri should be left out of the squad. Another thing I would say is that the playoffs are not a good place to develop potential players, when the potential of this player is far greater than the strength. ā€

"But Calesimo, the rules of basketball have changed, they're constantly encouraging offense, so we have to be prepared for Bruce to be treated differently. Despite Barry and Manu's hard work, we can't ask them to share Yudri's defence. Conversely, if we had selected the experienced Quinn, coupled with James, who could help the team's offense, our bench wouldn't have had too many problems defending. ā€

Tang Dynasty. Newman disagreed with P.J. Calesimo, but his recommendation was not endorsed by Chip Engelland: "Why not Yudri and Shi, who are more capable of scoring, and Shi is good against power players. ā€
