NBA: My template has no limit

Milwaukee fans' enthusiasm for the Bucks this season far exceeded President Herb Kerr's expectations.

Prior to this season, MLB baseball had long dominated Milwaukee's mainstream sports scene, with basketball relegated to second place.

Fortunately, the Wisconsin football team is far away in Green Bay, otherwise the Bucks' situation would be even more precarious.

But now, season ticket sales for the Bucks have doubled. Certain games have even sold out completely, with standing room only!

This is not entirely due to Xu Feng's efforts, but rather because after the team selected Xu Feng, they sent a clear message to the outside world through their head-to-head preseason games against the Bulls.

The Bucks are no longer tanking!

Even though Herb Cole is a congressman who doesn't care much about the team, he understands that fans are paying for the Bucks' stronger roster, not to watch a bunch of unmotivated losers loafing around on the court.

If the Bucks continue to tank, fans will see no hope, and the market will deliver an unprecedented blow to them!

Teams that have consistently performed poorly have restructured their coaching staff this summer in an effort to achieve better results.

Every time a new NBA season begins, major media outlets list the highlights of the season.

The cover of Sports Illustrated's opening issue features Michael Jordan, with the headline "Air Dominance." The supplement's headline is "The '96 Generation: The Future Is Here."

This sets the tone for mainstream media, and NBA coverage this season is destined to revolve around whether the Bulls' success is short-lived and the performance of the golden generation of rookies.

News summarizing the free market appeared simultaneously.

The first to be affected was Jordan's record-breaking $3000 million one-year contract, followed by Shaq's move to the Lakers.

What attracted Xu Feng the most was Juwan Howard's almost successful signing of the league's first 100 million dollar contract, not because of its price, but because the contract was actually negotiated by Tellem.

Of course, we can't miss the freshest American headlines:

As the golden generation began to show their potential, Bucks rookie Xu Feng told Jordan, "You can't guard me!"

Arrogant and ignorant? Rookie challenges Jordan and gets brutally taught a lesson!

……

Similar articles circulated across the United States on the very day the Bucks and Bulls' preseason game ended.

Clearly, the media wants to portray Xu Feng as another rebellious fighter, which would be more sensational.

Xu Feng disagreed, because he had indeed said that.

"Come on, come on, run, run, don't stop!"

Chris shouted from the sidelines, with his burly assistant coach Dick beside him.

The players are running through tactics on the field, a part of team training used to build chemistry and familiarize themselves with the tactics.

Assistant Coach Dick held a tactics board in his left hand and a pen in his right, sketching out famous tactics as he spoke to Frank:

Glenn didn't come to practice again.

"Yes, he went to a nightclub again last night, and after getting drunk, he even punched a waiter!"

Dick's thick eyebrows furrowed deeply:

"That damn lazybones! I thought he'd change for the better, but I never expected this..."

"Dick, I know you have a problem with Glenn, but not now, the regular season is about to start."

"Okay, okay, but let me make this clear: if that jerk continues like that throughout the regular season, I won't give him any more face!"

Since Glenn determined that Xu Feng posed no immediate threat to his position as the team's leader, he reverted to his old lazy ways, training sporadically, much to the chagrin of Coach Dick, who values ​​discipline.

Xu Feng has been quite frustrated with his basketball game lately.

Robinson was unwilling to share possession of the ball at all. Once the ball was in his hands, it was like a bone in a dog's mouth, and he wouldn't let go no matter what.

After the game against the Bulls, Xu Feng rarely got the ball anymore. And it wasn't just Xu Feng; it was everyone on the team. It was common to see the spectacle of one person playing while nine others watched.

In the final preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets, Xu Feng repeatedly ran to the corner for open looks or had good off-ball cuts, but Robinson ignored him, refusing to pass the ball and instead just camping at the free-throw line to isolate and attack.

After the match, Xu Feng confronted Robinson to argue his point:

"Hey Robinson, we need to work together more. I had a lot of opportunities just now. Maybe if you passed the ball to me, our offense would be more efficient!"

Robinson didn't even glance at him, and said dismissively:

"Efficient? You mean my offense isn't efficient? Who are you? A rookie. Who am I? I'm the number one draft pick, the Bucks' absolute core. Without me, you're nothing. Why should I pass the ball to you?"

Don't think you're invincible just because you beat some of the substitutes in the preseason. Remember your role; you're here to support me, understand?

Xu Feng had no reply and turned to leave.

Players like Big Dog are typical examples of those who only care about scoring, regardless of the team's record or its survival.

No matter how the team plays, he always manages to rack up high scores. When the outside world questions his ability, he will pull out that impressive stat sheet and then sign a lucrative contract.

This kind of cancer in the team means that if Xu Feng wants to take control of the ball from him, he can only prove to the team management that he can win games and sell tickets without relying on the big dog.

"Xu Feng, are you still thinking about that day? That's just how Robinson is, even for us old guys who have been fighting for many years."

Newman, a warm-hearted middle-aged man who could see Xu Feng's worries, casually handed him the ball and comforted him with a smile.

"I don't want to argue with him, but we can't win like this. Aside from his constipated one-on-one style of play, his defense is even worse than mine!"

Big Dog isn't incapable of defending, he just doesn't want to. If anyone dares to take the ball away from Robinson, he'll stand there with his hands on his hips.

Newman took a sip of Gatorade and remarked with a sigh:

"Someone else has mentioned Big Dog to me before. Do you know who it was?"

Vin Baker! He was an All-Star last season, and Robinson still wouldn't pass him the ball. In one game, Vin was so angry he punched the post, his hand turning red.

"Hey, I can't help you with this. To be honest, I'm a little envious of you. In all my years of playing basketball, I've never thought about competing with the team leader for ball possession, and no team owner has ever asked me to bring up my own conditions for joining the team."

The Bucks haven't made the playoffs in five years, and nobody knows how much longer they'll have to wait.

After a short break, training continued. Xu Feng would stay behind for extra practice after each day's training session.

On the same day he finished practicing three-pointers, Xu Feng chose to do one-on-one defense training, which he barely managed to complete thanks to the remaining half month of advanced training cards and the preseason time.

His current task is to practice McGrady's mid-range shot.

Since the goal is to prove that he can lead the team to victory, there is no need to strengthen the defense. He should specialize in becoming an offensive player who only attacks and does not defend.

Mid-range shooting practice (60 to 80):

1. Free throw line spot-up mid-range shot: 18000 attempts

2. Mid-range shots at 45 degrees to the left and right of the free-throw line: 28000 attempts

3. Pull-up mid-range jumper from the free-throw line extension: 21000 shots

4. Mid-range shot under pressure: 12000 shots

5. Catch-and-shoot mid-range jumper: 15000 shots

6. Turnaround + fadeaway mid-range shot: 9000 shots

7. Mid-range shot simulation in crucial moments: 5000 shots

In a total of 108,000 drills, Xu Feng discovered that 80% of the training was used to improve his mid-range shooting ability from 70 to 80.

Xu Feng dared not even think about how many times he would have to go from 80 to 90.

[Triple Training Card (One Month) Now Activated!]

Seeing Xu Feng voluntarily add extra training sessions, Chris felt a little relieved.

The Bucks finally have someone who loves training.

What team has two big men who drink all the time? The key is that Vin Baker, who is an even bigger drinker, is more normal than Robinson, who drinks a little less!

Perhaps he really should clean up the mess in the team.

The older guys who had finished their training and were stretching were gradually getting used to Xu Feng's efforts.

Every time they did basic training with Xu Feng, they were amazed. The most profound impression Xu Feng left on them was: this young man's basic skills were so solid that he could cut down trees!

He's over two meters tall, and his dribbling is as skillful and fluid as a small point guard's, without any hesitation or the awkwardness or sluggishness typical of big men.

Sherman watched Xu Feng shooting baskets on the court and silently shook his head.

Andrew Lang sat on the floor, leaning against a long bench, looking up at Sherman's actions with some confusion:

"What's wrong? You're not satisfied with Xu Feng? I think he's great. He's almost made me believe that those basketball prodigies who 'touch a ball at three and dunk at five' that the media makes up really exist."

After watching for a while, Sherman finally spoke: "No, I just saw in him what basketball should be like."
