NBA: My template has no limit

In a post-match interview, Glen Rice told reporters:

"Defending Xu Feng's three-pointers is extremely difficult. His height, his jumping ability, his release speed, and his release point—once he jumps, there's simply no way to stop him!"

Finally, he helplessly shrugged at the camera:

"To be honest, very few people can defend Xu Feng's three-point shot and it's hard to imitate. The only way is to prevent him from receiving the ball, or wait until he gets tired."

In an era where it's generally believed that "three-pointers are the job of role players who lack jumping ability," the sudden appearance of a jumping monster on the three-point line left Glen Rice somewhat at a loss.

Soon, the three-point battle between Xu Feng and Glen Rice quickly swept the front pages of newspapers in the Eastern region.

Some people think this isn't real basketball, while others feel that the scoring speed in this game seems faster. Based on the principle of efficiency, some basketball experts predict that three-pointers may become the mainstream scoring method in the future NBA.

Some clickbait media outlets even dubbed this game "NBA All-Star Three-Point Contest!"

Fortunately, Xu Feng drew Klay Thompson, who was in his second year of rookie season. At that time, Klay was still using the standard two-stage shooting method. If it had been Klay, who later used the 1.5-stage and slightly one-stage shooting method, the actual effect would have been greatly reduced under the intensity of the NBA's hand-checking system in the 1990s.

On February 1st, the Bucks will host the Philadelphia 2ers.

Sherman Douglas suffered a recurrence of right knee tendinitis during pre-game practice and is expected to miss the remainder of the season, possibly returning after the All-Star break. He will be replaced by Perry at starting point guard.

In the first quarter, Iverson and Robinson both missed shots.

With Xu Feng and Vin Baker providing support, the Bucks are currently leading 32-24.

Having won their first two games, the Philadelphia 76ers were thought to be no threat to the Bucks, but the Bucks almost suffered a defeat.

At the end of the first quarter, Coach Johnny Davis substituted the 6'3" Don McClendon for the underperforming Rex Vokes.

McClane, a tall, sharpshooting player, made a guest appearance as a small forward and immediately proved effective. He used his height advantage to relentlessly attack Robinson one-on-one, turning the game into a mid-range shooting drill and scoring 10 points in half a quarter.

Seeing his teammates perform well, Iverson decisively changed his role and began to actively pass the ball and assist in connecting the team.

At halftime, the Bucks led by only three points, 59-56. McCollum's performance gave Chris, who was watching from the sidelines with his arms crossed, a real scare, and he quickly told his players to be more serious and limit his ability to receive the ball.

If he accidentally capsizes in the gutter, he'll be cursed to death by the home fans.

McCollum's lateral movement speed wasn't very fast, and he struggled to find suitable shooting opportunities after being closely guarded and interfered with by Xu Feng. With Iverson having a poor shooting night, the Philadelphia 76ers ultimately lost to the Bucks.

The Bucks defeated the 76ers 100-110 at home.

Iverson's performance in this game was both excellent and terrible. On the one hand, he scored 23 points on 8-of-23 shooting. On the other hand, he also had 14 assists, and perhaps he should thank McCollum.

Don McClane scored 23 points efficiently, shooting 10-for-16 from the field and 2-for-2 from the free-throw line.

Robinson has not been in good form since the All-Star roster was announced, scoring 17 points and 3 assists on 7-of-19 shooting in this game.

文·贝克超高效发挥，12中10，得到26分10篮板7助攻。许峰15中9得到25分，佩里18分。

On February 2, during a game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Washington Bullets, O'Neal collided with George Muresan's leg while turning on offense, resulting in a knee injury.

The severity of the injury far exceeded expectations. Subsequent MRI scans revealed hyperextension of the left knee, a tear in the joint capsule, a bone fracture, and a partial tear of the lateral collateral ligament. He is expected to be out for an extended period and will miss the All-Star game.

The Bucks have two more games before the All-Star break.

On January 31, Barkley officially announced his withdrawal from the All-Star Game, and the Western Conference head coach selected Seattle SuperSonics European forward Detlef Schremf as his replacement.

At 34 years old, he can still deliver all-around stats of 19.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game. This "elegant German gentleman" is Germany's first NBA All-Star player and is very famous in Europe.

David Stern likes international players like these, and the NBA's expansion plan needs to spread to the world gradually through them.

The Bucks will face the Cleveland Cavaliers on the 4th, with the Bucks playing at home.

The Cavaliers, led by Brandon, didn't give Xu Feng, this rookie All-Star, a friendly look.

This was a fierce defensive battle. The Bucks only scored 29 points in the first half, and the Cavaliers only scored 34 points, but there were already 20 fouls on the court, and points were raining down.

The fans were very dissatisfied with the lackluster performance of the match and booed loudly.

The defensive intensity increased in the second half, and the two sides clashed passionately, enjoying a hard-hitting basketball game, with the lead changing hands frequently.

With 20 seconds left in the game, the Bucks were leading by one point. Cavaliers guard Bobby Philles drove past Perry and made a layup. Vin Baker came out to help defend, but not only did he fail to stop him, he also got a foul and a free throw.

Phil Jackson missed the free throw, but the Cavaliers took a 79-78 lead.

Vin Baker grabbed the rebound and passed it to Perry. Perry quickly advanced the ball and jumped before his opponent could get into position, drawing a foul from Cavaliers center Marc Swede. Perry went to the free-throw line.

At this crucial moment when the opponent was leading by one point, Perry was clearly too nervous and missed both free throws!

"Shh!" "Coward!"

The scene erupted in disbelief; they couldn't believe such an outrageous thing had actually happened.

"Elliott Perry! He missed those two crucial free throws! He didn't pull the team back from the brink!" Jim Paszczek cried out, clutching his face in anguish.

Mark West redeemed himself for his earlier mistake by securing a crucial offensive rebound for the Cavaliers, keeping valuable game time in his own hands.

Brandon passed the ball to power forward Tyler Hill. The moment Hill caught the ball and shot, Robinson immediately pulled his arm off as part of the tactical plan, sending him to the free-throw line.

He has made 6 of 9 free throws so far, which is a decent percentage, making him the Bucks' only option.

Surprisingly, Hill actually missed both free throws, becoming a fellow sufferer with Perry.

The crowd erupted again. There was still a chance. Miracles are never short of happening in the NBA!

With 1.6 seconds left, the Bucks made their final play.

Although Xu Feng scored the highest points for the team, Chris was still a little worried when he saw that the opponents double-teamed Xu Feng for the entire game. He decided to have Xu Feng pretend to run to receive the ball and attract double-teams, while actually giving the first shot of the game to Vin Baker.

The tactics were executed quite well. Xu Feng ran wildly along the three-point line, drawing away two opposing players on the perimeter, allowing Vin Baker to receive the ball smoothly in the elbow area.

Unfortunately, Vin Baker missed his shot under tight defense from Chris Mills.

The basketball bounced off the rim and was caught by Gilliam!

Amon Gilliam attempted a putback with only 0.4 seconds remaining!

boom!

Their last hope was ruthlessly blocked by Cavaliers' backup center, Litali Potapanko.

The Cavaliers narrowly defeated the Bucks 79-78 on the road.

特雷尔·布兰登得到全场最高分，21中10砍下23分4助攻。配合前锋泰隆·希尔的16分10篮板成为取胜的关键。

For the Bucks, Xu Feng was double-teamed throughout the game, shooting 7-for-18 from the field and 6-for-10 from the free-throw line, managing only 22 points.

雄鹿全队命中率都不高，罗宾逊11中5得到14分，文·贝克11中4得到16分，佩里12中6得到16分。
