Chapter 30 Judgment (Part [-])
After the game against the Warriors, Shi Lei seemed to have gained Popovich's trust.

Yes, in the next three games, Shi Lei got the opportunity to play consecutively, and the time was around 5 minutes.And White, he played almost the same time as Shi Lei, but the two of them never played at the same time.

"Are you saying we are rivals now, brother?"

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

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

"Yes, the coach is making a 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 reserved by nature, but he likes to laugh.The reason why he looks more and more like a smaller "Stone Buddha" when playing is because of nervousness.

He didn't have much experience in competitions, and even when there were many people, he would stumble when speaking, making Shi Lei feel very nervous every time he appeared on the stage.In order to cover up this point, Shi Lei deliberately imitated Duncan's expression.

"That's really bad."

White's words were somewhat lacklustre, and even when he was playing basketball, he became weak.

"It's destiny, brother, you kill me, or I kill you, because we can't kill others."

Shi Lei's tone was still calm, but when he gambled to steal the basketball controlled by White, and used extremely destructive movements to slam the basketball into the hoop viciously, it clearly showed that his heart was not Not as calm as his tone.

"A bench player, kill another bench player, and stay on the bench?"

White said with a bleak self-mockery.

Shi Lei shrugged when he got off the basket: "Yes, the bench, we belong there."

"It disgusts me."

"We can't change it, at least temporarily. Don't want to 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 the damn place."

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

Shi Lei shook his head with a wry smile, but didn't say anything, White could go to Europe, but he didn't seem to be able to.He hasn't played any professional games, and the number of times he came to the Spurs is only a handful. Does any team need such foreign aid?
He was very skeptical about it.

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

"There are still three games, gentlemen, the regular season is coming to an end, it's time to consider the issue of the playoffs, I hope to get your opinions."

At Popovich's signal, Horn, the team's assistant technical director, turned on the big screen on the wall.That is the current record ranking of the Eastern and Western teams.Although everyone knows that the Spurs are ranked third, it is impossible to catch up with the second sun, and they will not be surpassed by the Jazz behind them.

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

Horn was talking, and he clicked on the information of the Denver Nuggets, and the heads of players flashed out. Under the heads, there were densely packed personal information, technical characteristics, etc. of the players.

"Their fit is a problem, but any one of them has the ability to decide the game, so I think it will cause a lot of trouble for our perimeter defense."

Although PJ Carlesimo didn't name "them", everyone knew that they were referring to Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson.

"Perimeter defense. Okay, anything else, gentlemen?"

Popovich typed the advice into his computer and asked.

"We have to think about rebounding, sir, the rebounding ability of Kenyon Martin and Marcus Camby will pose a huge challenge to our inside line, so I think our starting center is best Elson, although Oberto was more helpful to the team most of the time."

Popovich frowned and put a question mark behind Oberto's name at Don Newman's suggestion.

"I think Oberto is better. Our pressure is mainly on the outside. Elson's poor shooting percentage will allow Denver to safely double-team Tim."

PJ Carlesimo didn't approve of Elson starting, which was also echoed by Chip Engelland.

"Okay, three games to go, and our last game is against the Nuggets, let this game tell us who's a better starter. Anything else, gentlemen?"

Before Don Newman could speak again, Popovich interrupted the internal spat.

"There is still the final 12-man roster. There is nothing to discuss on the inside, but we must make choices on the outside. Youdri and Quinn, James and Shi, I have a copy of their statistics here."

Chip Engelland, who was mainly responsible for the team's training tasks, seemed to be more prepared. While speaking, he walked up to the technical assistant Horn and took control of the big screen from him.

"Udri and James will be more helpful to the team's offense. Quinn's data is not dominant, but we must consider his experience. Stone may help Bruce. He has enough defensive enthusiasm, but we It is impossible to predict whether his poor game experience can adapt to the playoffs. And James has more training value!"

Chip Engelland controlled the big screen, clicked on the folder he had prepared, and talked eloquently.

Although Shi Lei was stronger than White defensively, Shi Lei, who insisted on shooting, was still no match for White on offense.

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 would force a shot, but Shi Lei could see his teammates in the gap, so he chose a more threatening pass.

But in the short time he played, Shi Lei didn't get an excellent evaluation of the overall situation.

"With Barry, Finley, Manu, and Bruce, we don't have a big problem in the second and third positions, but we only have Parker in the first position, so neither Quinn nor Udrih should be excluded from the big list. Besides. There is another point, what I want to say is that the playoffs are not a suitable place to cultivate potential players, when the potential of this player is far greater than his strength."

"But Carlesimo, the rules of basketball have changed. They are constantly encouraging offense, so we must be prepared that Bruce may be treated differently. Although Barry and Manu work very hard, we cannot ask them to share the burden. Udrih’s defense. On the contrary, if we choose the experienced Quinn, coupled with James who can help the team’s offense, our substitute will not have too many troubles when defending.”

Don Newman disagrees with PJ Carlesimo, but neither does Chip Engellander in his recommendation: "Why not Udrih with Stone, Udrih is better at scoring and Stone is against power It’s good when he’s a player of his type.”
