NBA: My template has no limit

This game featured Xu Feng's brilliant nutmeg assist, Vin Baker's consistent mid-range jumper and hook shot against Elden Campbell, and Van Exel capitalizing on a Bucks turnover to steal the ball and launch a fast break.

But the real protagonists are only two: O'Neal and Robinson.

Robinson's performance impressed the coach but gave the team doctor a headache. His efficient offense lasted for three quarters, eventually forcing the Lakers to use three players to double-team him in order to barely stop him.

On the other side, O'Neal, who was also not double-teamed, maintained his position for three quarters, but he simply ran out of energy for the remaining quarter.

O'Neal felt physically and mentally exhausted from scoring.

With 5 minutes and 43 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Lakers were still down by 2 points.

At this point, Coach Chris's tactics truly took effect. He deployed a surprise weapon: Xu Feng, who had just finished resting on the bench.

In several consecutive possessions, Xu Feng would drive straight to the basket after receiving the ball, and also make cuts to the basket when he was off the ball. He only needed to attack the rim, and the rest was left to O'Neal.

Exhausted, O'Neal quickly lost control of his fouls. After Xu Feng jumped, even if O'Neal himself couldn't reach the ball, he would still grab Xu Feng's clothes or try to block him. In the end, due to exhaustion and insufficient jumping height, he fouled Xu Feng's hand.

Xu Feng widened the score gap with free throws in the final moments, ending any suspense in the game.

The final buzzer sounded, and the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 105-111 at home, delivering a visual feast to the audience in an intense high-scoring battle.

放任奥尼尔不管的结果是惨烈的，奥尼尔登场43分钟，投篮25中15，罚球16中11，超高效砍下41分13篮板2助攻2抢断的豪华数据。

For the Bucks, Glenn Robinson, who had just returned from injury, played the entire game in his first match, appearing for 46 minutes, shooting 19 of 30, and scoring 42 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists.

文·贝克登场40分钟，得到25分10板6助。许峰本场比赛得以短暂，登场30分钟得到20分5篮板7助攻。

The match had exceptionally high viewership, partly because a rising star was playing against a traditional powerhouse, and a significant part because the match was highly entertaining.

Mindless shootouts have always been a way for teams to sell tickets, but a high-scoring battle between two top-ranked teams in the league for victory is even more attractive to the audience.

After the match, Robinson, who had performed exceptionally well, thought he would receive special attention from the media, but instead found that they all swarmed around Xu Feng, ignoring him. His mood immediately soured.

"Are you blind? Wasn't he here to assist me?"

Since the furious Robinson couldn't target Xu Feng, Mu Qi was in trouble.

"Mookie, tie my shoelaces, then go buy a case of beer!"

Knowing he was at the bottom of the team, Muqi didn't dare say anything, and just smiled and agreed.

Stepping out of the locker room, Mu Qi's face immediately fell, revealing a resentful expression:

"You still want to compete with Xu Feng for the top spot? I'm afraid you'll drink yourself to death!"

After consecutive losses to the Bulls and Bucks, and being singled out by Rodman and Xu Feng at crucial moments, O'Neal was once again attacked by the media.

The next day, a black-and-white headshot of O'Neal with a pained expression occupied the center of the newspaper.

The title is: "The 'Most Dominant' Center? Wrong! He's a Fake Tough Guy Obsessed with Making Bad Movies and Showing Off!"

O'Neal pasted the newspaper on his locker in the locker room and smiled as he spoke to the reporters who came to interview him:

"See that? I stuck it here. This is my gasoline. Next time I play the Bucks, I'll slam this piece of trash newspaper into the basket!"

Then he turned to face Kobe and Byron Scott, and said in a wronged voice:

"Hey! Do you guys think I'm weak? Should I retire?!"

He was met with laughter.

With Christmas approaching, the players are physically in the league, but their minds are already elsewhere.

Newman invited Xu Feng to his home for Christmas, and he planned to throw a Christmas-themed silver party that day, even bringing over a small Christmas tree.

In fact, some people in the United States are already cosplaying as Santa Claus, and they are kindly knocking on windows to deliver gifts to shop owners.

The Bucks have two more games before Christmas.

On December 21, the Milwaukee Bucks will play against the Toronto Raptors on the road.

Toronto is further north than Milwaukee, yet its minimum temperature is three or four degrees higher, and the wind is also less, making it more comfortable.

Leveraging the population of Toronto, Canada's largest city, and its geographical proximity to the continental United States, the Raptors, through their management's marketing efforts, outperformed the Grizzlies, and the concept of "the only NBA team in the North" resonated deeply with the public.

The game was held at Tianhong Stadium, a massive arena with a capacity of 60,000. During NBA games, only the lower two floors are open, which is equivalent to about 23,000 seats.

Even though the Toronto Raptors have one of the worst records in the league, they still manage to draw 18,000 fans per game, ranking eighth in the league, which shows their popularity among local fans.

Raptors rookie Marcus Camby missed this game. He fell during a pre-game warm-up for a turnaround shot against the Sacramento Kings on November 26 and was carried off on a stretcher to the hospital after temporarily losing feeling in his legs.

He was later diagnosed with a soft tissue strain in his back accompanied by back spasms, and has been unable to return to competition.

The Raptors seem to have divine intervention at home, with 7 of their 8 wins and 16 losses this season coming at home.

In this game, they continued their home-court performance, with Damon Stoudemire making a strong presence on both ends of the court, contributing 8 points, 4 assists and 2 steals in the first quarter.

For the Bucks, Xu Feng and Robinson had a good shooting touch in the first two quarters, responding with isolation plays and three-pointers after pick-and-rolls. However, Robinson was tightly guarded by Doug Christie, leading to three turnovers and steals.

Until the third quarter, the Raptors fielded their two reserve big men, Rogers and Tabak, to take turns playing against Vin Baker.

Both players were not only full of energy, but also in hot form, each scoring 16 points, instantly widening the gap between the two teams.

In contrast, Bucks' backup center Gilliam only scored three points, a significant difference.

Ultimately, the Toronto Raptors defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 90-96 at home.

The Bucks' overall field goal percentage and three-point percentage were 51.5% and 53.8% respectively, both more than seven percentage points higher than the Raptors.

However, the Raptors grabbed an astonishing 18 offensive rebounds throughout the game, using more second-chance opportunities to take the lead, with their two bench big men becoming the key to victory.

Even if the Bucks are incredibly accurate, they can't play without the ball.

On December 21st, the Bucks will host the Orlando Magic.

There was little suspense; the Bucks easily defeated the Magic 85-103.

The game had just ended when Newman and his team left a message saying they'd come to his house that night and then disappeared without a trace, leaving only Robinson and him on the court to have an awkward, half-hearted chat.

Xu Feng drove to Newman's villa, only to find the lights off inside. It was 10:30 p.m., the night was deep and quiet, and the surroundings were pitch black, making it seem incredibly eerie.

"Is anyone home? That's weird, where have all these guys gone?" Xu Feng knocked on the door, but no one answered, leaving him puzzled.

Suddenly, the door opened, and before Xu Feng could even look, a soft, wet thing flew towards him. Xu Feng could vaguely see that the thing was white.

pia!

The object was pressed firmly against Xu Feng's face. Then the lights came on, illuminating the entire villa, and a group of familiar voices shouted at him from all directions.

"Happy birthday!"

Barely overcoming the cake's obstruction, Xu Feng opened his eyes and looked up.

Newman, holding a cake in front of him, Mookie, Wen Baker and Gilliam on the second floor, and Sherman behind him...

"Come on, fuck you, Newman!"
