NBA: My template has no limit

In a thrilling and exciting offensive and defensive battle, the first quarter ended with the Bucks trailing by two points, 23-21.

On the Jazz's side, Malone and Stockton each picked up a foul.

For the Bucks, Xu Feng and Robinson each received an offensive foul for using their elbows too aggressively.

The first quarter was just a warm-up; after the referees established their officiating standards for the game, the two sides began their formal confrontation.

When Malone initiates a pick-and-roll at the top of the key, he inevitably throws his elbow, and Vin Baker, unable to avoid it, crashes into him.

When Malone made his run down the court, he used his elbow to clear a path, and Vin Baker was elbowed again before he could take two steps.

"Oh! Look, isn't that a foul?" Vin Baker winced in pain. Unlike Xu Feng and Robinson, he couldn't retaliate with a foul. He could only clutch his ribs and complain to the referee.

Beep!

Vin Baker was elbowed by Malone for the entire quarter, and the referee, unable to bear it any longer, called a regular foul.

Malone's fouls were more obvious and the referees could see them, while Stockton's were much more ruthless.

Xu Feng faced Stockton, made a sharp change of direction and took a step to try to break through, but he only grazed the hem of Stockton's jersey. Stockton was thrown backward and flew out against the laws of physics and gravity!

Even Newton would have had to rewrite his theory of mechanics after seeing it.

The first time, the referee ignored him. Xu Feng stepped over Stockton and pulled up for a jump shot to score.

The second time, Stockton, having learned from his experience, staged a completely new and upgraded flop for Sherman. He deliberately increased the area of ​​physical contact and even actively sought out confrontation.

Just as Sherman thought Stockton was going to increase his defensive intensity and took the initiative to counterattack, Stockton once again flew backwards smoothly like cotton, lying motionless on the ground with a pained expression.

Beep!

Sherman commits an offensive foul!

Sherman stood there, dumbfounded, and shrugged at the referee.

"I didn't even use any force! This guy's faking it! Look closely!"

"Are you fucking kidding me? You're the one who bumped into me, you filthy bastard!"

Stockton pressed his advantage, and after gaining the upper hand, he even tried to pin a label on his opponent.

The Jazz played dirtier, but the Bucks' shooting percentage actually increased.

Taking advantage of his youth and stamina, Xu Feng single-handedly pulled apart opposing shooting guard Jeff Hornacek and point guard Stockton, creating an open space before hitting a three-pointer.

Glenn Robinson is a man who uses other people's dirty tricks as a stimulant for tuning his instrument; he forcefully blocked Brian Russell's elbow and waist-pinning moves multiple times to score.

To conserve the energy of the team's veteran players, Coach Collins substituted in the second unit midway through the second quarter.

At halftime, the Bucks led 41-48, a 7-point advantage.

During halftime, Xu Feng once again received his Rookie of the Year award.

"Hey! Xu Feng, can I take a picture of it, just once, just once!" Mu Qi pleaded, his eyes shining as he stared at the trophy.

Xu Feng couldn't help but chuckle: "No problem, it's just a trophy, it doesn't have to be like this."

At halftime, the Jazz, with their starters back, sped up their offensive pace, eager to close the gap.

After Malone cut to the basket, Stockton feigned a pass, and the Bucks immediately tightened their defense. Sherman instinctively retreated, and Stockton seized the opportunity to score one-on-one.

The Bucks had possession. Xu Feng dribbled the ball up the court, accelerated in advance at the top of the key, and swept past Stockton cleanly, giving him no chance to shoot. He then pulled up for a jump shot at the free-throw line and made it!

Sherman continued his offensive onslaught. In the next possession, just as Stockton crossed half-court, Sherman seized the opportunity when Stockton's attention shifted and stole the ball. Xu Feng and Sherman launched a fast break on both fronts.

While drawing Hornacek's defense, he bounced the ball behind him and passed it to Xu Feng, who caught it and slammed it down!

It wasn't over yet. To prevent being stripped of the ball again by Sherman, Stockton dribbled the ball across half-court and was about to pass it to Hornacek, who was going around the screen, but the ball was stolen by Sherman again as soon as it left the court!

Robinson received the ball and scored a three-point play against Malone under the basket.

With Malone already carrying three fouls and the Bucks about to widen the gap, Doug Collins quickly called a timeout.

After the timeout, the Jazz changed their playing style.

Stockton dribbled past half-court and passed the ball to Hornacks, but the ball and Stockton moved together at the same moment. Malone moved up to the free-throw line to set a screen, blocking Sherman, and Stockton received the ball just as he drove into the paint.

With three steps, Stockton successfully made a layup.

The pace changed quickly. Xu Feng received the ball in the low post, and Ma Long immediately switched to defend him, using his elbow and leg to block him, causing him considerable pain.

Xu Feng frowned. This wasn't the first time Ma Long had done this. Unable to bear it any longer, Xu Feng turned around, raised his elbow, and directly blocked Ma Long's shoulder. He used tremendous force to force a path through the air, took a big step forward, and slammed the ball down before Ma Long could catch up!

Boom! —

"He can even dunk on Ma Long one-on-one! That's Xu Feng! That's the power of the 'whirlpool'!"

Xu Feng's one-on-one dunk ignited the Bradley Center, and the cheers from the audience echoed throughout the arena, making the Jazz players feel dizzy.

Ma Long was completely enraged by Xu Feng, and he rushed forward to confront Xu Feng head-on:

"Try doing it again!"

Xu Feng wasn't intimidated by him, and just stared at him, saying, "Want to fight? I'm ready anytime. Don't just spout these idiotic threats!"

Beep!

Xu Feng had just been in a fight a couple of days ago, and this time he was facing the dirtiest team in the league. The referee team didn't dare to relax at all, for fear of causing some trouble again.

The referee kept a close eye on the two players throughout the match. When he saw them getting close together again, he quickly stepped in to separate them and prevent the conflict from escalating.

Malone started the trouble, and the referee called a technical foul on him.

An angry Malone received the ball and attempted a one-on-one shot at the 45-degree elbow area, where he was being defended by Robinson.

His one-on-one game is simple: use his elbow to clear the way, then turn around and jump shot.

Robinson took the elbow strike, created space, and Malone jumped up, kicking out with both legs!

Whoever it is, just kick him out first!

boom!

Unexpectedly, Robinson took Malone's kick head-on, his body remaining completely still while defending! The force rebounded onto Malone's leg, causing him to lose his balance and miss the shot.

Damn it! What's wrong with these Bucks guys? One's a sly freak, the other's a big oaf, and even my signature flying kick doesn't work!

Malone was a little confused.

Fortunately, center Ostertag grabbed the rebound and scored on the putback.

Sherman dribbled the ball up the court, Xu Feng stepped up to set a screen, and Stockton once again used his signature foot-stomping technique.

Stockton's stomp isn't just about slowing down the attacker; it's about lowering his center of gravity and crushing the opponent's ankle!

He stepped forward, only to miss again. He had been stepped on once in the first half, and Xu Feng's foot still hurt. This time, Xu Feng had learned his lesson; whenever he got close to Stockton, he would look down.

Stockton missed a step, giving Xu Feng an opportunity to retaliate by stepping on Stockton!

Stockton, the originator of the foot-stepping technique, had a premonition and quickly lifted his foot, but unfortunately, he was still too slow and his toes were stepped on.

He struggled to get free, but his feet came out while his shoes remained in place.

"FXXK! FXXK!" Stockton could only curse and defend barefoot, while Sherman decisively popped out for a three-pointer.

Whoosh! Hit!

"Hey! Are you blind, referee? Xu Feng is completely out of control on the field, can't you see that?"

Stockton whispered to the referee, accusing Xu Feng of fouling him.

If this were at the Jazz's home court, the whistle would be blowing in their favor immediately. But this is at the Bradley Center, and balancing the calls is the maximum favor the referees can show.

Sharp laughter and whistles rang out from the sidelines. The notorious bad boy in the entire league had been humiliated at the Bradley Center and had been made to look so pathetic by Xu Feng. This was a scene that was rarely seen even once a year.

Having lost face, Stockton had no choice but to go back and pick up his shoes, his face dark with displeasure.
