NBA: My template has no limit

Chris stood on the sidelines and saw that the Bucks' offense wasn't significantly affected after Robinson was substituted, which calmed him down a bit.

He was a key assistant coach during the Celtics' championship run in the 80s. During Chris's tenure, he faced Larry Bird, a superstar who was at the peak of his career in the league.

Chris was confident that he could keep Bird in check even in his prime, and that a big dog like Bird couldn't make a splash.

As for Xu Feng, the level of surprise he brought me throughout the entire match continued to rise.

His exceptional technical maturity, remarkable influence on the entire team, and outstanding athleticism are key factors. Crucially, he doesn't hold the ball, capable of both dribbling and driving to the basket, as well as off-ball three-pointers, making him a perfect fit for various tactics.

Like his rival Allen Iverson, this rookie can adapt directly to the intensity of the NBA and quickly integrate into the game.

"A very good young man," Chris said softly, watching Xu Feng run.

"To be honest, it's not that we can't try something new, and put some pressure on Glenn. We can't let him run wild anymore."

"Dick, this matter depends on Herber's decision. The specific punishment cannot be decided unilaterally by us."

With the Bucks already leading by a large margin and no pressure on them, Vin Baker even played an alley-oop with Xu Feng.

Boom! —

"I never expected to see Wen Baker with such a happy smile during the video call with Xu Feng."

"But Iverson doesn't seem to be in a good mood, even though his record is incredibly impressive for a rookie."

How could Iverson look happy? Vin Baker knocked him flying before he dunked.

He didn't quite understand why Xu Feng could develop a three-point shot.

Given Xu Feng's height and shooting speed, defending his three-pointers is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

The atmosphere at the United Center was somewhat somber. Their team was being destroyed by the Bucks, and their highly anticipated backcourt duo would never be able to fire at the same time.

The number one draft pick, Allen Iverson, did not perform as well as Xu Feng, both in terms of scoring and contribution to the team.

They simply believed that the Bucks, even without their leading scorer, could easily crush their home team.

Dribbling breakthroughs, alley-oop dunks, thunderous blocks, and piercing three-pointers. Xu Feng showed the audience just how diverse a player's scoring methods could be, from just two steps beyond the three-point line to inside the paint—he could do it from anywhere.

Allen Iverson's playing style was flashy and his body agile. But Xu Feng's playing style is more appealing to a wider audience, with his wide-open, high-flying style that embodies the image of a superstar in their hearts.

For now, Iverson's arrival has not given the Philadelphia 76ers the beginnings of a strong team, nor has it put much pressure on the Bucks.

With five minutes remaining, the game entered garbage time. Jeff got a chance to play, but Perry remained on the bench.

The clock struck, the game ended, and the 96-97 NBA season opener came to a close.

The Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 102-90.

许峰全场出战42分钟，砍下30分7篮板5助攻2盖帽。文·贝克出战43分钟，得到27分15篮板4助攻3盖帽。

费城76人那边，艾弗森同样获得30分6助攻1抢断的不俗成绩，其次是科尔曼的22分13篮板7助攻，他与文·贝克形成互爆。

Stackhouse, however, did not have such a stellar performance, scoring only 16 points.

After exchanging high-fives, the players from both sides left the field, and Big Dog darted back into the locker room.

The Bucks won the game by a large margin, and everyone felt involved; the players all wore joyful smiles.

"Xu Feng, want a drink? Your outstanding performance has successfully shown them who the real champion is."

Wen Baker took out a small bottle of brandy hidden at the very back of the wardrobe and smiled as he gestured to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng wasn't addicted to alcohol, but it was obvious that his older brother was extending a friendly gesture to him, so a small sip was fine.

The bottles clinked together, and Wen Baker still downed his drink in one gulp.

At that moment, Sherman's smile froze on his face as he saw Glenn sitting in the middle with a dark expression.

Robinson, with a sour face, broke the atmosphere in the locker room. The substitutes all put away their smiles; they didn't want the big dog to think they were mocking him and get angry.

After changing their clothes, Wen, Glenn, and Xu Feng went to the outer room to wait for the press conference to begin. Head coach Frank and assistant coach Dick were also present.

"First of all, congratulations, Xu Feng, on securing your first victory in your professional career. How do you feel now?"

"I'm very happy. This is the result of the whole team's hard work. Our tactics were executed smoothly, and the players cooperated very well. Winning is the most important thing. There is still a lot to learn, and we will continue to improve."

Robinson lowered his head and let out a disdainful sneer.

"Wen, you seemed to be smiling a lot on the court today. Can you tell us what happened?"

"Well, it's nothing really. It's just that I feel comfortable playing with Xu Feng. The main thing is the joy of winning."

Robinson began to shake his head.

"Glenn, you didn't take many shots today, and you didn't seem very aggressive on the court. You even went straight to the bench. Some media outlets are saying you were playing passively. What do you think?"

Now that he's here, the media will definitely not miss such a big scoop, so he directly chooses to talk to Glenn!

Glenn slowly raised his head, expressionless, and shrugged:

"Our tactics were flawed; nobody was getting the ball to the players who should have it. Some people think they're great, but they don't actually know how to win!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion broke out in the press section.

This has completely exploded! With Big Dog's words, this is no longer just a locker room rumor, but an open secret of player discord.

Chris looked grim. Big Dog had already criticized Xu Feng, but then he also took a jab at his tactics.

The reporter pressed on:

"Coach Chris, congratulations on your first win as head coach of the Bucks. What's your take on Glenn's dissatisfaction with the tactics just now? Do you really think it's as he said?"

Chris tried his best to maintain a calm demeanor as a coach, but his words were anything but calm:

"Our players are all excellent, that's an undeniable fact. Our tactics are designed to put the ball in the hands of players who can score. Whether you look at the process or the result, our tactics are fine."

This team has players willing to sweat, rookies who cherish their playing time, and veterans who want to win. If Glenn thinks he's more important than the game, then he can sit on the bench and think things through.

I'm coaching a team, not a spoiled brat.

After the interview, the Bucks' internal conflicts were brought to the forefront.

As they left the arena and drove back to Milwaukee, the entire team was in a low mood, not at all like a team that had just won a victory.

Chris didn't say anything; he was waiting for a notification, either from Dunleavy or directly from Herb Cole regarding the decision.

Once the conflict is brought to the forefront, the team must make a decision in a short period of time, otherwise it means that the entire season will be spent in conflict.

"Beep—beep"

Two quick rings later, Chris's phone received a message from Herb Cole.

"Come to my office when you get back."
