Chapter 24: James. White

"A player with a lot of character. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Popovich didn't come up with the right words to judge Shi Lei and his performance in all the games of the preseason. It's bad, it's bad, but there are times when there will be eye-catching performances, such as the game against the Rockets, and Popovich finally had to admit that the game's inside-like technique provided some help to the team, although the game was still lost.

At this time, the NBA preseason has ended, and all teams are making final roster adjustments to determine the final roster for the regular season of the new season.

"If he was a little bit more scorer, he would be a good substitute, or if he was taller."

Chip Engelland flipped through the stats of the players for the game and responded to Popovich's words with a little regret.

"Then he'll stay in Boston instead of coming to San Antonio."

"Perhaps, then you decided to keep him? Is it? Mr. ”

Chip Engelland put down the information in his hand and looked up to ask Popovich.

"What do you think? Need some? ”

Popovich asked, holding up the red wine he was opening. Popovich loves red wine and, like he has been a secret agent, he has long been known to everyone in the NBA.

"Okay. But who are we going to lay? Jared Reyna? Or Rich Melzer? Or Jamal Smith? ”

Popovich shook his head: "They won't help us, we may have a better option." ”

"A better choice? Right now? You mean to trade? ”

Chip-Engelland doesn't think it's a good choice to trade at this time, although he agrees with Popovich's level of human outlook.

"Deal? No, no, no, I'm not going to pay the luxury tax, we just need one or two players who could sit there [on the bench] all season, and there's no need for a trade. There are a lot of people who have been laid off by the team, haven't they? ”

Popovich took a sip of red wine and slowly shook the remaining red liquid from his glass.

"Then I know your choice, sir."

"You can tell me my choice."

"James. White! ”

"Exactly. It's him, Washington's 'ultimate dunk king,' and we're going to need him, and occasionally our fans need violent dunks. ”

James William White IV, the 2006 second-round pick No. 31, was considered to be the No. 31 pick in the second round in 2006. James's better player, who participated in the draft before 2001, is one of the most powerful contenders for the title of "champion", but after completing his college studies, he fell to the bottom of the draft, played the preseason, and was swept away by the Trail Blazers who selected him, and in the end, he did not play famous. As for the reason, perhaps only God knows that an inhuman existence who participated in the NBA's slam dunk contest for the first time at the age of 30 and can still complete the "free throw line dunk", God walked back and let him lose something, such as his head.

On November 2, the day before the start of the new season, the Spurs announced that they would cut Jared Renner, Rich Melzer, and Jamal Smith and sign James. White, confirmed the team's final 15-man squad for the new season.

"Hey, hello buddy?"

From Indiana, James. White made it to Texas as fast as he could, and it was hard to imagine the guy's chatty, and on his first day on the new team, he greeted almost everyone in the arena.

"Hello."

Shi Lei, who was waiting for the coach and teammates to arrive in the stadium, also responded with a friendly smile when he heard this, raised his hand and waved it, indicating his gratitude to James. White's welcome, although in Shi Lei's heart, is not very cold to this guy. Well, we should understand a person's wariness of the person who steals his job, who called White a small forward.

"I know you, fellow Rocket Yao."

Belch..... Shi Lei is no longer able to vomit badly, which is a very powerful sentence, because it can say this to a quarter of the population of the planet.

"Quite right, man, we're from the same place."

This was Shi Lei's first interaction with his new teammate White, because the team was about to get on the plane. Yes, just go to the game. The NBA's regular season is about to begin, and the Spurs' first opponent of the new season is another Texas powerhouse, the Dallas Mavericks, who they have faced in the Western Conference semifinals for seven games that past season.

"I wonder if I'll be able to get playing time?"

Sitting on the plane, Shi Lei, who didn't know what to do, thought boredly. That's how people are, two days ago, he was just thinking about staying with Spurs, but now, he's hoping that he can get a chance to play. However, the course of history depends on human beings' dissatisfaction with their environment, doesn't it?

"I don't know how many points you can get in a regular season game?"

Thinking of this, Shi Lei easily opened the personal information in the basketball tattoo that he was already familiar with.

3rd Template Opening Experience: 536/5000.

"It would be nice to be able to open a third template."

His current situation makes Shi Lei extremely urgent for the opening of the third template, but he also knows that it may not be a matter of one or two days. A marginal player like him, playing is basically by luck, if you can't play, you won't have points, you can't open the third template without points, and then there will be no playing time!

This is a vicious circle, but Shi Lei has no ability to change, he can only wait, wait for the opportunity to come, and then catch him.

However, in the first game of the new season, Shi Lei did not get any chance.

There was a small change to both teams' starting line-ups compared to last season. The Spurs' starting center in this game was Argentine Oberto, while the Mavericks switched to a guard, and the new Buckner started the game after the season.

Well, these two tricks had little impact on normal play, and the situation on the field seemed to be a continuation of the seventh game between the two sides.

Nowitzki remained the Mavericks' leading scorer, scoring eight points at less than halfway through the first quarter. Duncan, who was opposite him, did not enter the state of the game and performed very sluggishly. The Spurs' entire first half featured Parker and Ginobili's duo. For a while, it was evenly matched, and the two teams fought 8-8. And throughout the first quarter, the scores of both sides were very tight, knowing that it was over, the difference was only one point, and the Mavericks led 27-26.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two teams invariably began to replace the bench, although they knew that it was impossible, but Shi Lei's emotions still couldn't help but be excited for a moment. In just a moment, the substitute came on, Shi Lei was still sitting on the bench, and next to him was his new teammate James. White.

This is not a good spectator, White doesn't seem to be easy to calm down, when Shi Lei quietly observes the situation on the court, intending to get a chance to play and have a good performance, White always tries to communicate with Shi Lei from time to time with some inexplicable and wonderful topics.

"Shi, that big man is really powerful, he has a great touch like Yao, what do you think?"

"Yes, they're all great......"
