NBA: My template has no limit

There was a half-second of silence, then the crowd erupted in applause just as enthusiastic as Iverson's!

"Tall, athletic, can shoot, can defend. This kid has NBA starter-level talent."

"This is a historic moment! The first Chinese player to be selected in the first round of the draft from a top American university!" Analyst Hughie Brown announced in a hoarse but excited voice.

Xu Feng got up and hugged each of the people around him.

"As expected of my son, he's awesome and strong!" Xu Guoqiang patted Xu Feng's back hard with his large palm.

With tears in her eyes, Song Shu stood on tiptoe and gently patted Xu Feng's shoulder: "Great job, Xiao Feng!"

Watts and Singh didn't say anything, but each extended one hand to shake hands with Xu Feng, and with the other hand they made a fist and gently punched Xu Feng's back.

Good brother, I'll remember you.

Xu Feng turned around, took the baseball cap symbolizing the Bucks from the staff member, and walked onto the stage.

Amidst the cameras and microphones and the gaze of audiences worldwide, Xu Feng and David Stern shook hands with smiles.

"Congratulations, kid, welcome to the NBA!"

"You've made history, and we're all happy for you."

After hugging Stern, Xu Feng walked off the stage, where he was greeted by Craig Reger, a reporter in a floral suit.

"Congratulations! Welcome to the NBA! How are you feeling?"

"Absolutely wonderful!"

"As the first Chinese player to enter the NBA, do you think there will be more and more Chinese players coming to the NBA in the future?"

"Of course! There are tens of millions of people in China who love basketball, and there are many talented young people like me. They just suffer from a lack of systematic training and open channels."

My success is just the beginning. In the future, more and more Chinese people will come to the NBA from different paths and achieve even better results!

"Do you like Milwaukee? The Bucks have a distinctive number one draft pick, 'Big Dog' Robinson. Do you think you can get along with him?"

This is a difficult question to answer. The clearer a player's attitude is, the more buzz they can generate.

Xu Feng did not answer directly; facing the camera, he spoke calmly:

"I can't make a definitive statement until I see my teammates. Milwaukee is a city with a unique character, and I can only promise to do my best to bring victory to this city."

On the commentary stand, Pitino and Brown watched with smiles as Xu Feng was interviewed.

When the unrestrained Xu Feng and the proud and confident Robinson meet in Milwaukee, will it be like dry wood meeting a raging fire or ice water colliding with hot oil?

In short, the Bucks are definitely worth watching this season!

The draft continues, and the Timberwolves selected Stephon Marbury with the fifth overall pick, which is great news for them, as it saves them a first-round pick that they would have traded to the Bucks.

Starting from the sixth position, Xu Feng's butterfly effect flapped its wings slightly, altering the original world line.

The Celtics selected Ray Allen with the sixth pick instead of Walker, but unexpectedly, Walker ended up being the third pick!

They let Antoine Walker fall to the seventh pick and be selected by the Clippers.

Walker, who had just missed out on Boston and Pitino, could tell from his face that he was extremely reluctant. From the moment he went on stage until he returned to his seat, he didn't smile once.

Next, the draft returned to normal, with Kyrie Kiertes of the Nets being selected eighth overall and Samaki Walker of the Dallas Mavericks being selected ninth overall...

"The 13th pick, the Charlotte Hornets select—Kobe Bryant! From Lower Merion High School!"

Young Kobe knew he wouldn't play for the Hornets, but he still smiled sincerely.

He can finally enter the NBA, and face off against Jordan in his prime, as well as Xu Feng, who is on the rise!

Xu Feng hadn't expected that the future biggest blacksmith in the league would have already set his sights on him at this time. He nodded to Kobe, who was looking at him.

The Lakers not only snatched Kobe Bryant but also drafted Derek Fisher with the 24th pick.

Ben Wallace remains unwanted by any team and will continue to struggle in the lower leagues, as will Watts.

After the draft, all the first-round picks came on stage and stood together: Iverson, Rasheed Wallace, Xu Feng, Camby, Marbury, Ray Allen, Walker...

The flash went off, freezing this historic moment in time.

The summer of 1996 was a time of great brilliance.

Twelve-year-old LeBron James lies on the carpet at his home in Akron, Ohio, watching TV.

He has only been playing basketball for a few years, but he has already become a local prodigy.

He used to admire Kobe and Iverson the most, but now he idolizes Xu Feng because of the report "Decision 1".

Young James thought it was so cool to say that! He also wanted to announce his decision to the world in front of the media someday!

The Bulls' incredible 72-win championship run has just ended, and Jordan's near-perfect performance has successfully propelled the basketball scene across the United States to new heights.

A new generation of exceptionally talented young people with diverse personalities are about to enter the league. They are like flames about to be thrown into a frying pan, propelling the NBA to new heights amidst the nationwide frenzy for basketball.

Two weeks later, accompanied by Xu Guoqiang, Xu Feng officially signed a three-year fully guaranteed contract with the Bucks as a first-round draft pick.

Xu Guoqiang looked at the numbers on the contract, carefully calculated them with his fingers, and then sighed deeply:

"Son, the salary you earned this year is more than your dad could earn in ten lifetimes!"

"It's alright, a father doesn't have to be better than his son, and a son is never inferior to his father."

After seeing his parents off at the airport, Xu Feng returned to Milwaukee, where he would spend at least three years.

Tellem and the Bucks' logistics staff found Xu Feng a detached villa in Lake County.

Lake County is located in the northwestern suburbs of Milwaukee, a typical affluent area surrounded by three large lakes, with beautiful scenery. It is only a half-hour drive from the Bucks Arena, and most importantly, the security is excellent.

At least, there are very few instances of free purchases or Santa Claus delivering gifts into homes.

Big Dog Robinson and Wen Baker also live here.

After renting the apartment, what was the second thing Xu Feng did upon arriving in Milwaukee? Training?

No, of course I'd buy a Porsche 911 and cruise around the streets of Milwaukee!

He currently has two million US dollars in his hands!

From the end of the talent show until mid-July, Xu Feng spent his days training and traveling around, finally experiencing the life of a rich man as a nouveau riche.

In mid-July, Xu Feng participated in four Summer League games along with second-round picks and players on temporary contracts.

Summer League is just a formality; teams can't really let first-round rookies fight tooth and nail against contract players, so they quickly go back to their vacation time.

During his time in Lake County, Xu Feng often saw Vin Baker and Robinson while practicing at the stadium.

At the same time, the system's second feature lottery also arrived.
