Chapter 23 Partner

It was a time of hope and despair.Although Shi Lei knew from the beginning that most of his time belonged to the bench, he never thought that all of his time belonged to the bench.

Yes, he didn't get 1 minute of playing time either.

In the away game against the Mavericks, Shi Lei sat out the entire game.

The next day in San Antonio, they lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers of "Little Emperor" James, and Shi Lei was still on the bench.The good news is that White came out, but only came out, and then came out with shitty numbers, not even getting a single turnover.

Then they defeated the Raptors, the Knicks and the Suns at home, but Shi Lei was still sitting there.When they went to challenge the Rockets in the away game, Shi Lei thought he could play, but he still couldn't. White scored five points.

Then the Spurs lost to the Bobcats and defeated the Bulls, but Shi Lei was still sitting there.

In the 106-86 victory over the Heat, Shi Lei thought he could get a garbage time to complete his NBA debut, but White was still playing.This broken-mouthed guy got seven points this time!

In this way, Shi Lei sat withered for the whole November. With 11 wins and 5 losses, the Spurs also ended all their November schedules!
He didn't get anything, no, Shi Lei sat there and got a salary of more than 2 US dollars leisurely.

"Maybe I'm about to get a termination notice from the team."

Every day, this thought would accompany Shi Lei to the San Antonio Spurs' training facility, and after training, Shi Lei would go home with this thought.His life seemed to be gradually occupied by this idea.When eating, he would occasionally think this way, when he was pondering the team's tactical manual, he would also occasionally think this way, and even when he went to the toilet, such thoughts would occasionally pop up in his mind.

"Shi, I'm sorry to tell you that the team doesn't have a place for you!"

Shi Lei was suddenly awakened by such a dream. The person in the dream couldn't see his face clearly, but what he said was what Shi Lei was most afraid of hearing.

"huhuhuhu"

The moonlight projected a little bit of light from the closed curtains, making the whole night not so dark.Shi Lei's panting figure was also stretched very long by the light.It's as lonely and long as a person's loneliness in a foreign land.

After a while, after his breathing slowed down, Shi Lei raised his frustrating and frightened head in the darkness.

"No, it can't be like this, I have to stay here. Yes, the opportunity, I need a chance. But where is the opportunity? Is it an occasional play like White?"

Thinking of this, Shi Lei lay down slumped, a trance flashed in his mind: "Perhaps, I can ask him for help!"

"Hey, James."

At the end of the day's training, Shi Lei called White who was going to the locker room.

"What's wrong, bro."

"do you have time at night?"

"Of course, have you finally decided to go out for a drink with me? Then what are you waiting for, let's go quickly."

As White spoke, he put his hands on Shi Lei's shoulders, hugged him, and walked towards the locker room.

"No, wait, James, what I want to say is can you play with me for a while?"

Shi Lei got rid of White's arm and said to him face to face.

"It's a really bad decision, the job is over and we should be doing something more interesting, like going to a bar, or..."

White didn't finish his sentence, but his mysterious smile let Shi Lei know what he wanted to say.

"Hey, listen man, we're in a bad place, really bad."

"Okay, okay, stop bro."

White waved his hand, interrupting Shi Lei's words.

"I understand that we are in a bad situation. Maybe we will be unemployed tomorrow, but we are not today, so we should enjoy today instead of worrying about what may happen tomorrow."

"But what if we lose our jobs tomorrow? So we should try, shouldn't we?"

Shi Lei still tried to persuade White, hoping to get his help.

"Oh no, we work hard every day, we train hard, we never miss, but if that's how God arranged it, there's nothing we can do, can't we? You can't change him."

"Okay, okay, I mean we should try harder."

Mouth has never been Shi Lei's specialty, but he does not intend to give up persuasion, because it is too important to him.He didn't have the money to hire a personal trainer, and no one else had the time to spend with him, only White, the guy who invited him out for "drinks" countless times during his one-month relationship.

But this guy seems hard to convince, he has his own set of theories, and he has "God" to rely on.He also tried to persuade Shi Lei.

"Listen man, the fact that I played basketball for more than ten years and then got a contract that could be lost at any time will not change just because I practiced a little longer today. You are the same. Listen to my brother, talk to I'm leaving here, there are so many things waiting for us to do, life is not just basketball."

"Why do you say that? We are just 20 years old, life is still very long, we have a lot of time to enjoy, why now?
Think dude, you're driving a dying Ford, they're driving a new Maserati, their chick is a Hollywood star, the object of countless men's sexual fantasies, and yours?Your girl is in a nightclub. "

In order to achieve his goal, Shi Lei was a little unscrupulous, and he regretted it after he finished speaking: "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm."

"No apology, I know what you mean bro, and I'm not going to get mad at it. The Whites never shake their fists at a friend. But bro, you think we can drive a Maserati if we work hard? Sleep with a woman in Hollywood ?”

"Well, maybe not, but definitely not if that's how we are, what about James?"

"Well, it looks like none of us can convince anyone. Are you sure you want to stay here instead of having some fun with me?"

Hearing the meaning of farewell in White's words, Shi Lei really couldn't think of what else to say, he could only give up his original plan, so he said: "No, you go James, I will work hard for Maserati."

Shi Lei, who is ignorant and ignorant, only has Maserati, Lamborghini, and BMW as good cars in his impression.Benz or something.

"And Hollywood stars!"

As if hearing a funny joke, White spread his hands exaggeratedly, and added this sentence.
