Chapter 15 Father
"I'm sorry, Shi, the team doesn't have a place for you. Maybe you can go to another team to try. Of course, you can choose to go back to Boston with the team and decide."

The day before he was about to leave Las Vegas and return to Boston, Brevo told Shi Lei this.

Although he already had such a premonition, when this moment really came, Shi Lei still inevitably felt a negative emotion that he had never experienced before.

Is this the verdict on his own fate?

"Goodbye, then, Mr. Bravo, it was a pleasure to be with you."

When despair strikes, is it praying?No, Shi Lei gave Brevo what he thought was a bright smile, and said goodbye to him politely. He could leave nothing, but he must keep his backbone and arrogance.

"Goodbye, lad, and good luck."

When Shi Lei came out of the hotel where the team was staying, he saw his father wandering outside the door, with a cigarette in his mouth, looking into the hotel from time to time.

From China, to Boston, and from Boston to Las Vegas, during this journey, his father has been by Shi Lei's company. Although Shi Lei can't get along with his father for a long time because he has to participate in the competition, he can always be with him every day. Here, see this familiar figure.

One was at the door and the other was outside. The father and son looked at each other and smiled.Shi Lei's smile was full of guilt and bitterness, but his father's smile was full of forgiveness and comfort.

"Let's go, let's take a good look at the scenery of America, and then go home."

While his father was talking, he touched Shi Lei's head, he didn't say any comforting words, but Shi Lei could understand that this silent comfort contained deep feelings.

Shi Lei just followed behind his father like this, obviously he had countless words in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, just kept silent, and followed the not tall but still generous figure in front of him.

"Let's take a break, I'll pack up, we'll stay for another day today, and go out to see the night view of Las Vegas at night, we can't come to the United States for nothing."

Entering the small and simple room in the hotel where his father lived, his father asked Shi Lei to sit on the bed, and he packed up his luggage.

"Let me help you, Dad."

"No, you can't clean it up either. Well, this is for you."

Father stopped Shi Lei who wanted to help, took out a video camera from the suitcase and handed it to him.

"what?"

Although he didn't understand why his father gave him a video camera, Shi Lei subconsciously took it.

"open to take a look."

Father packed his bags and saluted without looking up.

So Shi Lei saw that what was recorded in the camera turned out to be all his game videos.At this moment, Shi Lei couldn't hold back his agitated mood anymore, tears flowed from his eyes, "I'm sorry, Dad."

"Sorry for what? It's normal for young people to have their own ideas. I'm not against you coming here, I'm just afraid that you will be deceived. You must know that this is true, and your mother and I will not stop you. Whether it succeeds or not, we must Go and have a try."

Father tore a stack of toilet paper from the pillow and threw it on Shi Lei's body. While talking, he put the packed suitcase in the corner.

Shi Lei's tears stopped quickly, he was very unaccustomed to this kind of himself, it seemed that he became younger and his feelings became weaker.

After wiping away his tears, Shi Lei carefully put the camera in his hand into his backpack.

From then on, this camera has never left him. Whenever important matters or encounter setbacks, he always takes out this camera to take a look, and absorbs from it what seems to be some kind of mysterious Strength lies in the courage and confidence here.

Las Vegas in July is the hottest time of the year. The typical desert climate makes the temperature difference between day and night here very large. During the day, the temperature here can often reach as high as 38 degrees, but even the hottest At that time, this place known for its gambling industry seemed to be full of tourists forever.

Perhaps in order to ease the depression of Shi Lei who just failed the trial training, his father took him to one of the most beautiful scenic spots in Southern Nevada - Red Rock Canyon!It was an underwater world [-] million years ago. After several crustal changes, today's red stone wonders have been formed.

The beautiful scenery and the vicissitudes of the vicissitudes of life did not leave much impression on Shi Lei's mind, but for the sake of his well-intentioned father, he still pretended to be happy, took pictures with his father at different scenic spots, or left group photo.

"Jim told me that the young man has already left. Need to contact the Celtics, do you want his contact information?" Chip Engelland put down the phone in his hand and asked Popovich who was sitting there working Say.

The game against the Celtics was the last summer league game for the Spurs. They left Las Vegas the day the game ended.

"No, no need."

Popovich sips his coffee and looks away from his computer.

"So you've changed your mind?"

"I'm sorry, Chip, I've asked Kerry to contact him."

"It's amazing sir, how did you find out how to contact him?"

"He used to sell himself to us, and I just found out that we had a video on our website."

Popovich clicked on the video with great interest, and turned the computer screen to Chip Engelland.

"What? You said it too fast, I don't understand what you mean? Are you saying that San Antonio intends to give me a contract, but I need to pass your physical examination, can I understand it like this?"

In the Red Rock Canyon, Shi Lei never expected that he would receive such a call, a call equivalent to a life-saving call.

Seeing Shi Lei shouting excitedly into the phone, his father stopped wiping the dripping sweat from his forehead, and quietly looked at Shi Lei's expression. As Shi Lei's expression changed, the excitement on his face was also beyond words.

"Dad, you know what? I made it, made it, they promised me a contract, it was the San Antonio Spurs. Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!"

After hanging up the phone, Shi Lei excitedly waved his clenched fists, shouted at his father, then stood in place, and yelled loudly at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky.

On August 8, the Bobcats signed an extension with Voskull, an unrestricted free agent.The Cavaliers extended the contract of restricted free agent Drew Gooden.Kings sign free agent Loren Woods.The Sonics extended the contract of restricted free agent Chris Wilcox.Spurs signed Jared - Reiner, Rich - Melzer, Jamal - Smith and Shi Lei (all non-guaranteed contracts)!
