Seem like it is very common to omit '不可' in sentences like "非要我选(不可)的话"

<p>You can say '如果我不得不选一个' or '如果非要让我选一个' For example, 我喜欢足球，也喜欢篮球，如果非要让我选一个的话，我还是去踢足球吧。</p>

<p>Often in English when we decide between options that all seem favorable, we'll say:</p>

<p>What is the Chinese equivalent of "if I had to choose" ? It does not need to be a direct translation, just whatever you would use in that scenario. </p>

try iciba with "if I had to":1.

If I had to choose between fish and chicken I'd prefer the former, ie fish.

若让我在鱼和鸡之间选择其一,我要前者(即鱼). This may suggest 若让我选择... or 让我选择的话。。。
