NBA: My template has no limit

On December 23, the Milwaukee Bucks hosted the Houston Rockets in their last game before Christmas, marking the first meeting between the two teams this season.

Xu Feng will finally get to see the authentic Dream Steps. Maybe if he secretly learns a couple of moves, he can even ask Da Meng for a full scholarship.

The Rockets' record in the past week has not been very good. On the 17th, they lost to the Grizzlies by one point, with Hakeem Olajuwon committing 10 turnovers in a single game. On the 20th, they were outscored by David Robinson with 33 points.

Just yesterday, the Rockets suffered their most humiliating defeat of the season, losing 66-86 to the Heat by a massive 20-point margin.

After the game, Barkley bluntly stated in an interview, "We were as soft as a pile of shit, and our opponents were doing whatever they wanted over us!"

Three losses in four days is an unforgivable defeat for the Rockets.

Keep in mind that their record from the start of the season until December 17th was 22 wins and 2 losses!

After suffering a crushing defeat, this strong team arrived in Milwaukee with no time for them to review and adjust; the game was about to begin.

With three active 50-star players on the team, one of whom is still playing against him, Xu Feng is under a lot of pressure.

The Rockets gained possession early on, and the Bucks deployed a 2-3 zone defense, intentionally leaving space for the Rockets to shoot threes. The Rockets' three-point shooting percentage in previous games had been quite poor, with 2-for-19 and 2-for-17 being commonplace.

Matt Maloney dribbled the ball upfield and saw Sherman with half a body space open. He felt uneasy and wanted to make those who underestimated him pay the price!

He took a three-pointer right away!

Bang! Forge iron!

Hakeem Olajuwon grabbed the rebound, and the moment he got the ball, Vin Baker stepped back to double-team him.

Andrew was responsible for holding the ground, while Vin Baker was responsible for preventing shots.

Hakeem Olajuwon was caught in a pincer movement. In this situation, he couldn't get up or shoot, and even getting started with his Dream Shake was a problem!

Seeing this, Barkley immediately retreated to the low post, received the pass through the gap, and turned around. Robinson had already shrunk back from the wing to the basket, crouching down to prepare for defense.

He paused instinctively after receiving the ball, then turned and went for a one-on-one attack.

Barkley possesses immense weight and a significant lower body advantage, making him a formidable force in the low post. Few can effectively defend against his post-up game.

Barkley arched his back and used his buttocks to push Robinson inward, but Robinson was no pushover either. He lowered his center of gravity and used one arm to brace against Barkley's back, making it difficult for him to advance.

Damn it! Realizing his opponent wasn't so simple, Barkley abandoned his attempt to fight back and opted to turn and drive to the basket.

But Robinson was already waiting for him, raising his other hand high to block Barkley's preferred right-side hook shot.

Left with no other option, Barkley forced a turn to the left and finished with his weak-side hand.

The result was obvious: the basketball bounced off the rim again.

This time, the Bucks won't give him another chance.

Xu Feng charged into the paint from the outside, shoved Clyde Drexnow aside, and leaped high, shoving the ball into the basket over Hakeem Olajuwon!

"BOOM! The Houston Rockets have their gliders, and the Milwaukee Bucks have their own bombers!" Jim Paszczek's passionate voice followed.

"That's a young, strong guy. That dunk reminded me of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar! He used to play like that on the rim when he was young!"

When narrating, McLoughlin often reminisces about the past and tells anecdotes that audiences enjoy hearing.

In the next possession, Marott, not giving up, once again ran a pick-and-roll with Olajuwon and popped out for a three-pointer!

state!

It looks like the basket isn't on his side today, no, this week.

After receiving the ball, Olajuwon was once again sandwiched by Vin Baker, so he had to pass the ball to Barkley. Barkley was locked down by the big dog and dared not be stubborn anymore, so he passed the ball back to Drexler.

After receiving the ball, Drexler immediately raised his protective hand and turned to the side to catch the ball.

As a traditional, classic shooting guard, he doesn't have Jordan's continuous crossovers, nor does he dribble excessively.

He pulled out with a huge step and passed the ball, directly challenging Xu Feng to break through and start his attack!

Xu Feng didn't have time to stop him from taking his first step. Drexler accelerated smoothly and continued to rush forward, but he soon discovered the problem.

Didn't I start up normally? Why is someone else still logged in next to me?

After letting go of Drexler's first step, Xu Feng caught up with him using only his own speed!

There was no time for that. Drexler forcefully pushed Xu Feng aside with his shoulder, stomped his foot heavily on the ground, and leaped high into the air!

"The glider started its engine and shot straight for the basket! Hakeem Olajuwon single-handedly blocked both Vin Baker and Andrew; who could stop him!"

boom!

Xu Feng provided the answer: he jumped from behind Drexler and chased down to block the shot!

"Wow! I saw this scene a week ago, but the result was completely different. Xu Feng did exactly what Jordan dreamed of!"

Jim Paszczek doesn't care about any of that nonsense. On his home turf, watching his star players, he's going to rave about it!

With a combination of offense and defense, Xu Feng displayed his brilliance, igniting the Bradley Center!

Drexler rubbed his face to try and clear his head.

After four games in five days and consecutive losses, the Houston Rockets are at their most exhausted, both mentally and physically.

Barkley, looking impatient, muttered under his breath, "Shit! It's happening again, this damn game!"

He came here to team up and win the championship, not to compete for the position of dean!

The Houston Rockets are behind again. They've been through too many similar situations this week, so they're even more anxious and eager to come back quickly.

Haste often foreshadows mistakes.

Maloof missed several shots in a row, realizing that tonight was no longer a game where he should be taking shots, and decisively passed the ball to Olajuwon!

He knew that, but the Bucks knew it even better.

The moment the ball was passed, all three players started moving simultaneously: Vin Baker double-teamed Olajuwon, Robinson created space to prepare for a fast break, and Xu Feng rushed towards the basketball.

Xu Feng stretched out his long arm, stole the basketball, and made a long pass to Robinson in the frontcourt. Robinson then made a fast break dunk!

Fortunately, Hakeem Olajuwon finally stepped up. He left the basket to receive the ball, then gently pushed Vin Baker and executed a high-point turnaround jump shot in one smooth motion.

Two players scored over the Bucks' interior defense!

Soon after, the Bucks also made a mistake. Sherman's pass to Robinson was intercepted by Mario Elie, and the Rockets quickly launched a fast break!

Mario was running too fast and didn't notice the person following behind him. Xu Feng rushed to his side and forcibly stole the basketball with one hand.

The roles of offense and defense have been reversed again!

Beep! The referee's whistle blows.

Xu Feng made a strong drive to the basket, but his layup was thwarted by Hakeem Olajuwon. However, he was also fouled and went to the free-throw line.

He made one of two free throws. Barkley grabbed the rebound and, with a powerful effort, put back in the basket over the Bucks' two interior defenders!

Such a strong lower body is really useful! Just by sticking his butt out there, he can put the defender in a difficult position.

The Rockets have finally officially opened up their scoring channels.

At the end of the first quarter, the Bucks led by six points, 16-22.

In the following quarters, the Rockets' scoring situation did not improve.

The three outside shooters took turns attempting three-pointers but missed, and they had a premonition that the game might be coming to an end.

With the Rockets no longer posing a three-point threat, Vin Baker can now more confidently double-team Hakeem Olajuwon.

The Bucks tightened their defensive lineup, focusing all their efforts on blocking Olajuwon's receiving routes. Maloney was forced into numerous turnovers, as was Olajuwon, who even hit his foot with the ball and went out of bounds in the third quarter.

If I said it was paronychia, would you believe me?

Barkley was up against a big dog of similar size and had a very frustrating game, so he had to rely on Olajuwon to set screens and attack the basket.

Both sides were exhausted, and with Christmas approaching, they had no motivation to play. In the fourth quarter, they simply substituted all the starters, letting the substitutes play freely.

The game ended with the Milwaukee Bucks defeating the Houston Rockets 82-90 at home.

Back in the locker room, Coach Chris faced all the players with a smile and said:

"Well done, guys! You played even better than we expected!"

"A 19-7 record is an excellent one, and we have a great chance of making the playoffs, or even achieving better results."

"But now is not the time to talk about that. Enjoy your holiday and Merry Christmas!"

After Chris finished speaking, loud applause echoed in the locker room, and the coaching staff and every player embraced.

"Xu Feng, you are one of the best players I have ever seen in all my years of coaching! Believe me, it is every coach's dream to have such an excellent and hardworking player as you."

Of course, rookies often encounter some difficulties when they first enter the league. Remember to communicate with us promptly so we can solve problems together.

Chris gave Xu Feng careful instructions.

Xu Feng smiled as well and said to him:

"Thank you, Chris. Don't worry, I think I've adjusted to all of this. Merry Christmas!"
