NBA: My template has no limit

"The youngest player in history to score 30 points has been born! Xu Feng, at only 19, breaks the league record!"

After the first day of competition, news of Xu Feng breaking the record dominated the headlines of major media outlets.

Xu Feng and Iverson both scored the same number of points, becoming known as the two greatest players of their generation in the media. In terms of age, Xu Feng might even be considered slightly better.

CBS commentators praised Xu Feng's adaptability and offensive impact.

In addition to praising Xu Feng, TNT and ESPN reported on Glenn Robinson's passive play and internal conflicts within the Bucks team.

Philadelphia locals, however, felt that Xu Feng's victory was unfair, because he had All-Star power forward Vin Baker, while Iverson only had Rookie First Team All-Rookie Stackhouse, who wasn't considered a helper.

"Iverson lost to the team, but that doesn't mean Iverson lost to Xu Feng!"

There was no time to pay attention to their mental fortitude. The Bucks were playing back-to-back games, so after the game they went straight back to Milwaukee to prepare for the Celtics.

The punishment for Robinson the dog came faster and more violently than ever before.

Boss Herb Cole told Chris the punishment decision directly to his face:

"Chris, the team has finalized Glenn's three-game suspension; it won't be changed. I know you've been trying to maintain harmony in the locker room and keep things peaceful within the team, and I understand that."

The reason they kept him with a high salary was that they hoped he could become the team's star player, boost the market, and make the Bucks more competitive.

But now his attitude on the court has damaged the team's image and hurt the hearts of the supporters. This puts the Bucks in a very difficult position, and we must make our stance clear!

These three games will give the team's young players more opportunities to hone their skills and see how the new lineup performs.

If he's willing to correct his attitude, he still has a chance. But if he continues to be negative and undisciplined, the team will have to reconsider his future. Glenn's current performance is having a negative impact on the team that is almost outweighing his value.

Everything should prioritize the overall interests of the Bucks. You know why Dunleavy stepped down as head coach, and you also know what the Bucks need most right now.

I didn't spend 60 million to support a spoiled brat that a football team has to pamper!

After Chris left the office, Herb slowly leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.

This decision was made after careful consideration. On the one hand, he took the opportunity of Glenn's absence in these three games to test the market's reaction.

If most media outlets and fans are unhappy about Glenn's absence, he can use this opportunity to teach Glenn a lesson about his temper.

You can slack off if you want, but if you openly stroll around the field, isn't that a slap in my face?

Sometimes, even if the final result is the same, you still need to think about the intermediate steps.

On the other hand, there are personal and political reasons. When Herb drafted Glenn to the Bucks in 1994, Glenn demanded a staggering 13-year, $100 million contract.

At the time, Herber was serving his re-election as a U.S. senator, and voters happened to be disgusted by players' exorbitant demands.

Seeing an opportunity, Herber immediately adopted a tough stance in public occasions such as press conferences, relentlessly demanding lower wages and winning favor with the public through actions that were seen as morally sound, such as refusing to compromise with players and resolutely lowering prices.

The contract battle, which became a national focus in July and August, continued until the election day on November 8.

This had a significant effect, ultimately attracting many neutral voters and blue-collar whites in the state to his side, becoming one of the major boosts for him in that year's election.

Herber's persona regarding players was thus established, so the moment Big Dog opened his training session to the entire nation, Herber had to punish him!

This is a CEO who tailors his approach based on the fans' opinions and the market trends.

"A three-game suspension? Hmph, fine, I got it. But don't expect me to apologize when I get back, and don't expect me to fawn over anyone!"

After receiving the penalty notice from Christie, Robinson immediately grabbed his bag and left the arena. He hated this place and that damn rookie.

To be honest, Big Dog didn't expect the team to punish him so severely this time. Usually, shouldn't it just be a fine? At most, they'd scold him a couple of times.

This time, Herb and Dunleavy didn't even meet with him before the suspension notice hit him. Glenn couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Before the game, the media announced that Green would not play due to internal team reasons.

Before Wen Baker and Xu Feng entered the venue, reporters surrounded the two, eager to get to the bottom of things and ask for clarification.

"Xu Feng, could you tell us the real reason Glenn is unable to play? Is it because of a conflict with your locker room? Or a dispute with the coaching staff? Or did the league impose a higher level of suspension in addition to the fine?"

"Is the Bucks considering giving up on Glen?"

"No, no, you're overthinking it. I'm not entirely sure of the specific reasons either, since we haven't communicated since the last match."

Perhaps he's stuck in the bathroom because the burger he ate last night wasn't clean? Who knows? Let's wish Glenn good luck!

Xu Feng's perfunctory answer left the reporters speechless, but Jon McLoughlin, the Bucks' first All-Star in franchise history and the commentator for the game, had already guessed the reason:

"Green and Xu Feng are positioned too close together, and Green's proud personality destined this competition to occur within the team."

There are only three options right now: either Xu Feng becomes a complete role player, and the team continues to revolve around Green.

Either Xu Feng takes over and secures a tactical position no less important than Glenn's.

Either the team continues in chaotic competition, wasting all its previous tanking efforts, until it trades away all its core players and starts a new round of rebuilding.

The key question is whether Xu Feng's abilities are sufficient to lead the Bucks to victory.

Herb Cole watched the game from the top-floor box.

Soon, fans flooded into the arena, filling all 19,000 seats. The stadium was bathed in the Bucks' signature dark green and purple colors.

Xu Feng and Wen Baker's jerseys are undoubtedly the stars of the day.

There was something else that became the main focus of the audience today, not the mascot, not the scantily clad woman, but...

Jim Parschke said, "Listen, the whole place is chanting again..."

"TRADE GLENN!"

This isn't a phenomenon unique to the Bucks this season; it's a sentiment that has been frequently heard since the end of last season.

Every time the game reaches the final quarter and the team is trailing by a large margin, people shout "trade Green!" as he walks around on the court. Along with this comes trash and debris thrown onto the sidelines.

There has never been such a large-scale protest with such a strong reaction before!

Before the match even started, a chorus of boos and shouts erupted from the crowd.

"Trade Glenn! Trade Glenn!"

"We need players who can win! Not damn contract fraudsters!"

The shouts were deafening and the noise was so loud that the metal frame above the stadium was shaking.

The scene was beyond Herb's expectations. He paused for two seconds, then raised his glass and took a sip.

Robinson, the big dog who was hiding at home watching TV, was watching the Bucks' live broadcast when he saw the signs held up by the fans at the stadium. He got so angry that he grabbed the bottle next to him and smashed it!

Snapped!

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! A bunch of idiots!"

The shouting and jeers inside the arena only subsided when the Bucks players entered the court one by one.

When Xu Feng appeared, the atmosphere in the stadium changed completely.

"WOOOO~ We want Xu Feng! Cheap and effective!"

A deafening cheer instantly resounded throughout the venue, accompanied by Xu Feng's personalized support message.

Okay, ignoring the second half, isn't this a kind of welcome?
