NBA: My template has no limit

These old guys came on strong in the preseason but lost it just as quickly. Even though they were so serious at the beginning, they only played half a quarter more in the end.

Halfway through the second quarter, both teams' starters were all substituted, leaving only Xu Feng and Andrew on the court.

After the Bulls brought in their second unit, the court became noticeably quieter. Unlike the other three, Steve Kerr and Randy Brown didn't actively provoke or trash-talk.

The Bucks' second unit revolved entirely around Xu Feng, allowing him to fully unleash his potential.

This is your time to perform, but it's also a test of your physical strength.

Randy Brown immediately pressed Xu Feng relentlessly upon entering the game, determined not to let him score.

Xu Feng used his long arms and taller body to create safe dribbling space. Seeing that Randy's center of gravity was shifted to the right, Xu Feng seized the opportunity to turn his hips and dribble to the left!

Inside, Wen Langning was held back by Andrew's iron elbow, creating an unmanned route that allowed Xu Feng to take off.

Boom! —

Facing the second team, Xu Feng launched a powerful attack!

"Is this your defense? You let a rookie shit on your heads?!"

Even after leaving the court, Pippen's mouth didn't stop; he indiscriminately attacked his own teammates with trash talk that he couldn't distinguish between friend and foe.

Rodman had already taken off his headphones, and he was still criticizing, but it was directed at Xu Feng:

"You rookie, better not let me see you in the regular season, or I'll show you what toughness is!"

The Bulls' starters have a point in criticizing their bench players. The Bulls' first unit is a historically great fast-break team, but their second unit is surprisingly slow!

The 2.08-meter-tall Kukoc was like an old, dilapidated tractor, struggling to bring the basketball across half-court and then having to wait for others to get into position.

Steve Kerr needs to get into position to receive the ball, Wennington sneaks into the paint and becomes a stationary figure, and Randy is a typical example of someone who specializes in defense but lacks offensive ability.

Jordan was also helpless. No matter how much he criticized them, their talent was limited, so what could he do?

From the 90s to the 21st century, the biggest improvement in basketball has definitely been in substitutes and role players.

In the 21st century, substitutes have become an important part of the team, or even a semi-starting force, while in the 90s, the requirement for substitutes was simply to fill the numbers and play time.

Kukoc wanted to pass the ball to Randy and then pass it to Cole, but Xu Feng didn't give them the chance.

The ball had barely flown halfway when Xu Feng shook off Randy's entanglement, circled around to the front, and used his long arms to steal it, scoring a fast break dunk.

"Fuck, fuck, are they basketball players? Are you fucking sleeping on the court?"

Jordan's face darkened, and he wanted to join Rodman's camp.

Phil Jackson, the "Zen Master," couldn't stand it anymore. If things continued like this, these thin-skinned substitutes would be scolded until they cried.

He glared at Rodman and said softly, "Dennis, calm down!"

Rodman clicked his tongue, sullenly sat back in his chair, and stopped yelling.

The Zen Master could suppress their outburst, but not their anger; Rodman was still muttering curses under his breath.

The Bucks' bench presented a different picture, with Robinson seemingly pleased to see the Bulls' trio looking angry.

"That's about it for the Bulls' bench."

After speaking to Vin Baker beside him, he shouted to Xu Feng, "Keep fighting! Don't hold back!"

Wen Baker was very reserved; he wouldn't make any harsh statements. He simply stood on the same side as Big Dog, which was unusual for him, and nodded to Xu Feng.

Led by Xu Feng, the Bucks' bench players quickened their pace, and their transition offense became much faster.

If Randy Brown wants to defend Xu Feng, he first needs to keep up with Xu Feng, and second, he needs to get to the ball. At this moment, the limitations of being 1.88 meters tall are clearly exposed.

Xu Feng doesn't even need to call a pick-and-roll. He just needs to create a little space, receive the ball from Perry, and shoot. The three-pointer will go in easily.

Bulls' big man Winnington receives the ball. He is at a disadvantage in the physical battle with Andrew in the paint, but his advantage lies in his reliable mid-range shot.

Xu Feng wanted to see how stable he was.

Wennington stopped a step behind the free-throw line, raised his hand, and slowly moved each joint like an ancient catapult.

Finally, the basketball was released, and Xu Feng jumped up from the side and blocked his mid-range shot!

"oh!"

The crowd erupted in astonishment; they couldn't believe that a 2.13-meter tall man could have his shot blocked!

It's not fair to blame Xu Feng for provoking the Bulls; it's just that Wennington was too slow and was shooting from a standing position, which made it impossible for Xu Feng not to block him.

The Zen Master had read the kid's report, and he was even present when the Bulls invited Xu Feng to the site for a tryout.

At the time, the Zen Master had his eye on Xu Feng, but after learning his draft position, the Bulls had no choice but to give up.

It seems that Xu Feng has a lot of talent that can still be explored, and he has a very high potential for development!

"This kid is fast and daring; our substitutes can't keep up," the Zen Master said softly, looking at the field, as if talking to himself.

Jordan knew it was the Zen Master who had spoken to him, and he said slowly, "Next time we meet, he won't have it so easy."

This reflects Jordan's attitude; the Bulls will truly include Xu Feng as one of their tactical targets when they encounter him in the regular season.

In the fourth quarter, Xu Feng walked off the court amidst applause from the entire arena. The purpose of training his players had been achieved, and with the Bucks leading by 10 points, there was no need for him to continue playing.

In the end, the Milwaukee Bucks narrowly defeated the Chicago Bulls 106-102, a game whose educational value far outweighed the outcome.

Xu Feng scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists. Judging from the result, the Bulls' lesson was a failure.

Frank and the Zen Master shook hands with smiles, and the players from both sides bumped fists and left the field.

The outcome of the preseason games is not very meaningful. Fans mainly come to see the star players and their performances. As long as the game is played well, they will support it.

Therefore, they really liked Xu Feng. Not only did he play bravely and brilliantly, but he also ignited the fighting spirit of the entire audience, raising the level of the first half of the game to that of the regular season.

The new young people did not disappoint them.

"Well done, Xu Feng." Chris and Coach Dick patted Xu Feng on the back to encourage him.

Robinson and Vin Baker had already gone into the locker room for a drink.

Robinson drinks beer, while Vin Baker goes straight for brandy.

Strangely enough, given how much drinking Wen Baker is doing now, he's almost always playing in a slightly tipsy state, yet this hasn't affected his performance and has even earned him an All-Star selection.

Could this guy be a disciple of Wu Song, with a buff when drunk?

After packing up their belongings, they left through the players' tunnel, and Xu Feng high-fived the enthusiastic fans on both sides.

"Hey, get out of here, kid, don't block my way."

Robinson impatiently urged Xu Feng from behind; this kid actually dared to ask him to pass the ball today.

After the game, Big Dog got angrier and angrier, and finally decided that as long as he was on the court in the next few preseason games, Xu Feng could forget about getting the ball.

Xu Feng, who had just left the arena, was anxiously waiting for the system's response.

Finally, a pleasant mechanical sound rang out.
