NBA: My template has no limit
Chapter 63: Run Away After Pretending
Standing at the free-throw line, Xu Feng looked at Jordan, whose face was ashen and disgusted as if he'd eaten a shit, and said to him with a smile:
"This ball is for you, Michael."
After Xu Feng aimed at the basket, he closed his eyes, lowered his supporting hand, held the ball on his right hand, and shot.
The "High Difficulty Shot" badge is now active!
Swish! Goal!
When Xu Feng took the initiative to provoke Jordan, the fans in the arena screamed loudly. In their eyes, this is what a real man looks like, and this is what the Bucks' star player should look like!
Media cameras snapped photos at breakneck speed, like a torrential downpour, as they didn't want to miss this scene that was sure to ignite the entire nation.
Showing off comes at a price. For the remainder of the first quarter, Jordan went on a crazy one-on-one attack against Xu Feng, scoring sixteen points over him in a row.
But Jordan was still angry, not only because Xu Feng had mocked him the most, but also because this kid was actually scoring!
Xu Feng isn't the type of player who has to take the ball and fight the opponent's strongest player one-on-one, or charge into the opponent's encirclement and take on five opponents before unleashing a powerful jump shot.
Faced with Jordan's anger, he decisively chose to run away.
Whenever Xu Feng received the ball, with Jordan on the other side, he would definitely call for a screen and pick-and-roll.
If Jordan is going to go around the screen, he should pop out for a three-pointer.
If the Bulls send someone to help defend, and that person is a defensive stalwart like Pippen, he will pass the ball to Robinson.
If it were Harper, who was physically disadvantaged, then he shouldn't blame Xu Feng for bullying the elderly.
At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks trailed by two points, 27-29. Xu Feng scored 10 points in the quarter, while Jordan scored 18!
In the next two quarters, the two sides entered a seesaw battle. The Bucks relied on Robinson's improved shooting touch to force the Bulls to collapse their lineup and double-team him, which gave Xu Feng more opportunities for three-pointers.
The Bulls' trio of players were slightly fatigued, and their scoring efficiency decreased slightly. Both sides substituted their starters one after another in the third quarter.
Phil Jackson let Jordan play a little longer, while the other two players had even longer rest periods to prepare for the playoffs. Chris Ford, on the other hand, still had his arms crossed.
What did you say? What rotation? If the starters can maintain the advantage on the field, why bring in the substitutes?
In the fourth quarter, Xu Feng, Jordan, and Rodman were all off the court.
Bulls' backup center Jason Caffey came in and immediately scored a layup against Vin Baker.
Robinson received the ball in the frontcourt, but it was stolen by Toni Kukoc. The Bulls quickly launched a fast break, and Pippen slammed it home with a dunk.
Whether he was too tired or angry, Robinson did not return to defense.
The Bucks launched another attack, Newman missed a mid-range shot, Pippen grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Rodman, who had just entered the game. Rodman pulled up to the free-throw line and made the shot.
The fourth quarter started with a 6-0 run, and the point difference was quickly widened.
"Xu Feng, it's your turn. Go up and take over!"
Chris patted Xu Feng on the shoulder, signaling him to come on. Seeing the Bucks make a substitution, Phil Jackson also called a timeout to bring Jordan into the game.
Xu Feng seized the opportunity, using Sherman's screen to quickly cut to the basket, received a pass from Vin Baker, and slammed it home with an alley-oop dunk!
This dunk pulled the fans back from the brink of despair.
I mean... what if?
Harper missed a three-pointer, and Vin Baker grabbed the rebound from Rodman and passed it to Robinson.
Robinson passed the ball to Xu Feng. After receiving the ball, Xu Feng saw Jordan lurking around. He thought for a moment and then chose to pass it back to Robinson.
There's no need to take such a risk at such a crucial moment.
After receiving the ball, Robinson dribbled once and decisively launched a three-pointer!
Swish!
Forty-five degrees, cut!
In the next possession, Jordan missed a mid-range shot, Rodman grabbed the rebound and tried to force a putback, but was blocked by Vin Baker. The ball was then passed long to the frontcourt, where Sherman received it and slammed it home.
The Bucks regained momentum, and the fans in the arena thought they were finally going to win.
"Are they really going to defy their superiors? Are the Bucks going to create another miracle and defeat the legendary Chicago Bulls?" Marv Albert's voice was filled with barely suppressed hope.
Unfortunately, the Chicago Bulls won't let that happen.
When the score was reduced to just two points, Jordan stepped up.
First, he blew past Xu Feng and hit an absurd mid-range jumper. Then, Pippen cut off Robinson's dribble and the Bulls scored on a fast break.
With Vin Baker fouling Jordan, Jordan made both free throws, bringing the game to a close.
The Chicago Bulls defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 113-104 on the road.

Chicago Bulls reserves Kukoc and Kerr both scored in double figures.
The Bucks' main weakness in this game was their bench. Compared to the Chicago Bulls' bench depth, the Milwaukee Bucks had virtually no usable substitutes.
"Congratulations, 17 wins and 1 loss, the legend continues." Chris Ford forced a smile and shook hands with Phil Jackson.
"Thanks, and your efforts have also contributed to this," Phil Jackson replied to Chris with a smile that concealed a hidden barb.
The fans walked out of the arena dejected, but that didn't mean they were disappointed in the team. On the contrary, this game gave them real hope. The Bucks were actually able to go toe-to-toe with the Chicago Bulls!
After the game, Phil Jackson responded to an interview by saying:
"I was really surprised by the Bucks' strength. They have Xu Feng, a talent who came from DePaul."
He had a tryout with the Bulls before the draft. This kid's physical talent, combined with his ball-handling skills, is among the best I've ever seen in my coaching career. You might not see another player like him for over a decade.
When asked about his on-court conflict with Xu Feng, Jordan wiped his sweat and said:
"I admire young people who have guts and dare to stand up for themselves. He proved that he is not just a flash in the pan."
But he still has a long way to go; he's far from being able to surpass me or the bull!
On the Bucks' side, although they lost the game, the atmosphere in the locker room was not heavy, and most people had smiles on their faces.
Last season they were tanking and ranked near the bottom of the league, but this season they are already able to compete with these strong teams.
In their hearts, losing to the Chicago Bulls and fighting to the very last moment is not shameful at all.
"Hey, Xu Feng! Well done!" Newman slapped Xu Feng on the shoulder and shouted at him.
"We've already found a place. We'll take you to relax tonight. Don't worry, it's on me! I'll show you Milwaukee's uniquely hot side!"
