NBA: My template has no limit

"Hey, isn't this our boxer of the month? Finally made it back?"

As soon as I entered the arena, Newman's voice came through. He was covered in sweat, having just finished the last shooting drill.

Mu Qi looked at Xu Feng with envy. From the moment Xu Feng entered the basketball court, his eyes never left Xu Feng for a second. He whispered:

"Winning Rookie of the Month for two consecutive months! If I could achieve that, I'd die happy!"

Perry overheard Mookie's wish, and then proceeded to rub Mookie's head repeatedly, mercilessly mocking him:

"Mooqi, don't think about that now. Your priority is to buy each of us a donut and deliver it to us."

"I'm still far from it. I've only been Rookie of the Year for two months. Grant Hill was voted All-Star in his rookie season. I can't do that."

Xu Feng made a casual, modest remark, but Glenn Robinson took it differently.

You just said Grant Hill?

He hates hearing Grant Hill the most!

Grant and Robinson both entered the league in 1994. He was the number one pick, while Grant was the number two pick. Why is he being touted as Jordan's successor when he himself is considered a cancer to his team?

Grant stole Glenn's life!

"Grant is such a softie who panders to the media! He only won Player of the Month once back then, while I won it twice!" Robinson said, clearly annoyed.

Glenn grumbled to himself, but the others were used to his behavior and didn't pay any attention, continuing to chat with Xu Feng.

Quite coincidentally, January 7th was the Bucks' away game against the Pistons.

The game took place at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Glenn Robinson is not one to talk big; he took the initiative to guard Grant Hill, showing a level of seriousness far exceeding his usual approach.

Perhaps it's because Grant Hill is so famous that he's a great team player. Robinson, who wanted to prove himself, barely touched the ball in the first half, passing it to others whenever the chances were slightly off, making a huge contribution to the team.

After the first quarter, the Pistons led by 3 points, 25-22.

Chris wasn't worried about his team falling behind, because the Pistons' three-point shooting was just too poor.

活塞单节三分5中1。得分几乎全靠格兰特·希尔串联球队，个人还能单节10中6得到13分。

In the first quarter, Robinson of the Bucks scored 2 points on 1 of 4 shooting, Xu Feng scored 8 points on 3 of 6 shooting, and Vin Baker also scored 8 points; all three players contributed.

In their last matchup, the Pistons double-teamed Xu Feng relentlessly. In the second quarter, the Bucks returned the favor to Grant Hill.

Xu Feng followed Joe Dumars, the 34-year-old veteran who made 1 of 3 three-pointers in the first quarter. Under the Pistons' tight schedule, he was clearly exhausted and kept panting.

Grant Hill dribbles the ball, lowers his center of gravity, leans out slightly, fakes a step, and then accelerates past Robinson!

He had only taken two steps inside when Sherman and Vin Baker pressed their arms against his face.

With his path ahead blocked and Robinson behind him, Grant could only look to the side.

Joe Dumars suddenly made a reverse run to get past Xu Feng, quickly pulling away by half a body length. Grant took the shot, again with half a body length of lead time.

That should be enough this time.

Suddenly, a long arm reached out in front of Joe Dumars and snatched the basketball before he could reach it.

As it turned out, one body length wasn't enough for Xu Feng.

Xu Feng dribbled the ball back quickly for a fast break, but Grant Hill got ahead of him first. With his experience in defense, he used physical contact to prevent Xu Feng from easily gaining speed. However, Xu Feng circled the ball behind his back, turned sideways, and slowly made a three-step layup while holding Grant's weight.

"A head-to-head matchup between the 94 and 96 Rookie of the Year! Both players displayed an extremely high level of performance! It was truly a fantastic game."

The passionate voice of George Braha, known as "The Pistons," resonated throughout the Auburn Hills Palace.

Grant dribbled the ball past half-court again. This time he didn't hesitate. He faked a step past Robinson and then pulled up for a shot!

state!

The movement was too forced, Grant's hand shape was somewhat deformed, and the basketball bounced off the rim.

Vin Baker grabbed the rebound and passed it to Xu Feng, leading to another fast break.

Xu Feng passed the ball to Sherman, who made a series of crossover dribbles, seized the opportunity when Lin Qi tried to steal the ball, turned around in the opposite direction, and cleanly passed his opponent, making a mid-range shot.

In the next possession, to avoid being double-teamed, Grant simply ran to the low post to call for the ball, but Lynch is not a point guard who organizes the team in the traditional sense; his specialty is scoring.

So Lynch Hunter didn't pass the ball, but instead pulled up for a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle!

Another missed shot!

Joe Dumars has at least made one three-pointer, while he hasn't made a single one so far.

Vin Baker grabbed the rebound again.

Pistons center Mills is a rare stretch power forward who can shoot three-pointers, but rebounding and defense are not his strengths.

Xu Feng received the ball, and Joe Dumars immediately stepped up to defend him. Xu Feng was forced to lift one leg and lean back to force a shot.

Swish! One-legged stance, hit!

"Xu Feng ignored Joe Dumars' defense and scored! He's on fire!" George Braha exclaimed.

"In the last ten days of last year, the Bucks shot over 50 percent in every game, win or lose, which was incredibly efficient."

"The team's shooting percentage was below 42 percent when Xu Feng was absent in the first two games this year. Xu Feng may be the secret to this team's victories," Greg Kelser added.

Tonight, the Bucks' most outstanding player wasn't Xu Feng, but Sherman.

Sherman dribbled the ball and decisively broke through Xu Feng's screen, hitting a floater directly over Mills who was helping to defend in the elbow area.

Lynch Hunter was called out again, and he was a little annoyed.

Grant Hill dribbled the ball across half-court, and Lynch called for the ball.

At this point, Grant's gentle nature became a disadvantage. Even though he knew Lynch was having a bad shooting night and he knew he was on fire, he wouldn't go against the coach's arrangement of the backcourt's three core players, nor would he refuse Lynch's unreasonable requests for the ball.

Lynch immediately launched a three-pointer after receiving the ball!

No!

Jerome Williams grabbed the rebound, but his putback attempt was thwarted by Andrew. Vin Baker then pushed past Jerome and won the ball.

After countless offensive transitions, Xu Feng charged into the penalty area and took off directly towards Lin Qi!

Boom! —

A brutal dunk sent Lin Qi flying out of bounds.

"Shh!"

The fans at the Palace of Auburn Hills are not to be trifled with; they not only criticize their opponents but also their own team members.

A huge chorus of boos erupted from the audience, a reaction to Lynch's poor performance.

Lin Qi refused his teammates' outstretched hands, got up on his own, tugged at his jersey, and looked ashen-faced.

"A bunch of idiots who only know how to watch the show, get out if you don't want to watch the game!"

As a quirky young man, the boos from the audience won't change him; they'll only make him more eager to prove himself.

Bang! Three-pointer misses!

At halftime, the Bucks led 39-51.
