NBA: My template has no limit

Chapter 9 hit a steel plate

Putting aside other things, Xu Feng is near the top in jump balls; even against Walker, Xu Feng can easily win possession.

Because of the team's highest scorer, Watts, and Xu Feng's outstanding performance in training matches, Joey gave Xu Feng a high tactical status and even modified the team's original playing style.

This is a completely new attempt, and also a test for Xu Feng!

After receiving the ball, Tome passed it directly to Xu Feng, who quickly dribbled to the top of the arc to face off against Sims.

Sims's bright yellow buzz cut was quite eye-catching. He spread his arms, trying to block Xu Feng outside the three-point line.

Meanwhile, Louisville deployed a standard 3-2 zone defense, which was a positional game.

Sims' weight is a given, and when he lowers his center of gravity, it's difficult for the offensive team to affect his defensive moves. Many people have suffered because they underestimated his toughness.

Xu Feng wasn't in a hurry to go it alone; he waved to his teammates to use the horn tactic.

As soon as Bowden and Brian moved up to the free-throw line extensions on both sides, Xu Feng immediately dribbled to the left!

Sims wanted to continue on defense, but Bowden had already set a screen, so he had to give up on defense.

Although Louisville is no pushover, they didn't take Xu Feng's offensive power too seriously. They opted to switch on defense, having Samaki Walker help defend him in the paint.

Using a rising star center to defend an unknown forward should be an easy way to dominate.

Sims's lips twitched slightly; he was ready to see Xu Feng make a fool of himself.

Few people in Louisville have seen De Paul's videos, and even fewer watched the game where Xu Feng played.

Joey is just a rigid, unoriginal, and inflexible old man. In recent years, DePaul has only used one or two tactics against him, which they could memorize with their eyes closed.

Xu Feng? A 17-point comeback in the last game? Don't be ridiculous. Nobody mistakes luck for real skill, especially against a trash team like Chicago State!

Therefore, Sims guessed that Xu Feng would definitely pass the ball to his teammates, otherwise he would have to face Walker's big block!

Walker played very seriously on defense, taking large steps to the side, stretching out his arms and raising them high to try and block the path to the layup.

His defense was indeed excellent, showcasing his incredible wingspan to the fullest extent; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as having an enormous wingspan.

However, his opponent was Xu Feng!

No matter how much you try to cover up the sky and the sun, you can't cover up Xu Feng's sky or his sun.

Before Walker could even steady himself, Xu Feng accelerated!

"My God! He's actually going to go for Walker! Doesn't he know who he's up against?! He's asking for death!"

The commentator's voice was filled with despair; the scene that followed was too gruesome for him to bear watching any longer.

"What a terrible offensive choice!" Another commentator thought so too.

No one knew who gave this inexperienced young man the courage; they simply didn't believe the attack could succeed.

Xu Feng rushed into the penalty area, and the two jumped at the same time!

The scene of Xu Feng being brutally humiliated seems like it could happen in the next second.

However, a shocking scene unfolded: the two men's launch speeds and heights were completely different!

Compared to Xu Feng, Samaki Walker's jump was like slow motion! So much so that when Xu Feng slammed the ball towards the basket, Walker had only just reached the highest point of his jump, still a full head lower than Xu Feng.

Not to mention that Xu Feng's wingspan is longer than Walker's, which is a complete crushing advantage in terms of talent!

Boom!!!

A truly incredible poster dunk!

No ball-protecting hands, no shoulder-pressing, only higher, faster, and stronger strength!

Xu Feng's talent was revealed to the public for the first time in a truly meaningful way.

"OMG!!! Unbelievable!! This is outrageous! Walker got dunked on?! Samaki Walker, who is 2.06 meters tall, got dunked on!"

"He completely overwhelmed Walker's defense, brutally and violently! He's locked in the NCAA's best play of the season!" The two commentators covered their heads in disbelief on the radio.

In all their years of commentating on the Cardinals, this was the first time they had ever seen such a clean and decisive overpowering dunk.

The player who got dunked on was none other than their own star player, one of the best centers in the league!

Xu Feng's opening goal shocked the entire Liberty Hall!

The scene was initially filled with uproar, followed by anger, surprise, and shock...

"Oh no!" A chorus of wails erupted from the scene.

The previously bustling Freedom Hall instantly quieted down.

With just one goal, Xu Feng turned Liberty Hall into the Louisville City Library!

Like everyone else, Sims couldn't believe his eyes, but the game continued, and he had to quickly adjust.

It's okay, this is only the first ball, and the opponent is using a double screen tactic to launch the attack, which is obviously to avoid our one-on-one defense.

Even if you dunk over me, as long as you don't get past me, I, Sims, don't acknowledge your ability!

What a coward! Can he only get past opponents by relying on his teammates' cover?!

After receiving the ball, Sims dribbled it past half-court and surprisingly called for a one-on-one play!

He wanted to tell Xu Feng that a real man should not be afraid of any difficulties!

Moreover, a defender like Xu Feng is not even worthy of being his problem.

Sims' ball control isn't particularly refined; his breakthroughs often combine physicality and speed.

To put it bluntly, it's a combination of confrontation and underhanded tactics.

With the advantage of weight and center of gravity, he only needs to take advantage of the defender's movement to chase him and accidentally touch him lightly, and the opponent will lose his balance or even fly backward, instantly clearing away the obstacles to the attack.

Xu Feng, you are very strong, but you are still a bit weaker than me!

Sims didn't use any fancy moves. After changing direction twice, he lowered his center of gravity and suddenly accelerated!

The entire game was one-on-one defense, teammates were restricted, and no one could come out to help defend.

If Sims gets into the paint, he can easily score an open layup.

Xu Feng also accelerated, using a crossover step to catch up!

Now! Sims suddenly exerted force! He thrust his shoulder forward slightly, intending to knock Xu Feng over and teach him a harsh lesson!

However, he failed to realize that Xu Feng's defensive route was shorter and faster.

This means that Xu Feng's body is always in front of him.

In an instant, Xu Feng changed his posture, landing on his feet, raising his hands high, and tensing his torso.

Boom!

A fierce clash of muscles, a battle of offense and defense between spear and shield!

His defensive moves were almost identical to Walker's, but the results were vastly different.

Clearly, Xu Feng, who was mentally prepared in advance, possessed the strongest shield, but Sims seemed unprepared to become the sharpest spear.

Sims regretted it the moment they collided.

Damn it, is this a steel plate?!

Xu Feng's defense is as solid as iron!

Sims's energy was mercilessly reflected back by Xu Feng, and combined with Xu Feng's hidden force, it was equivalent to Sims receiving twice the force.

Can Sims withstand such a powerful force?

Of course not.

Sims felt as if he had been hit by a large truck. The huge impact made him lose control of his body, and he flew backward, landing sprawled on the ground.

Another uproar erupted as Sims was sent flying by the impact!

I'm watching a basketball game. Are you sure I'm not watching some kind of "Impossible Challenge" variety show?!

"Where did this damn yellow man come from? Why is he so aggressive!"

"De Paul seems a bit different; they've introduced a new key player."

"Simus, you coward! Can't you teach these outsiders a lesson?"

Various voices rose and fell in the stands. After two rounds, they realized that today's match was not as easy as they had imagined, and there was even a possibility of being defeated.

On the court, Xu Feng snatched the basketball as it flew out and pushed it forward with all his might!

But the Cardinals hadn't given up yet, and Samaki Walker used his positional advantage and speed to quickly get back on defense from the other side!

Finally, he squeezed into the impact zone before Xu Feng once again.

This time, Walker was smarter; he jumped the moment Xu Feng was about to attack the basket.

Although I jumped slower than you, I jumped earlier than you!

Xu Feng did not dodge, but chose to confront Walker head-on!

With a stomp of his foot, the floor creaked under the weight. Xu Feng leaned against Walker in mid-air, and as he jumped, he raised his right hand high, passing through Walker's defense from the side and steadily putting the ball into the basket.

Xu Feng drove past Walker and scored a layup!

"Samaki Walker's defense became an invisible wall today; he couldn't affect Xu Feng at all!" The commentator was reluctant to admit it, but that was the truth.

Sims' teeth were practically ground to powder. He had never encountered such an opponent before, not even Kerry Kittels had ever made him this embarrassed!

Walker was disappointed. He really didn't know how to defend against this Eastern superman. His athleticism was nothing compared to him!

The Cardinals' coaching staff was in an uproar; they had made a serious tactical mistake!

Legendary coach Danny Kram, who had just been inducted into the Hall of Fame, could no longer maintain his composure and scratched his head in frustration.

"Jones, bring me the data sheets and video recordings of that young man named Xu Feng. I want to take another look."

Danny had already seen it once, but he hadn't paid much attention to this young man before.

The main problem is that Xu Feng's sample size is too small. His only game was a comeback victory against Chicago with a barrage of three-pointers, and before that, it goes back to his high school days.

Moreover, Xu Feng's playing style in this game was different from the last game. He sought more physical contact, actively drove into the paint, and was not afraid of any contact!

In the time that followed, the Cardinals entered a strange state.

They were very impatient and always eager to shoot. Even when Walker was double-teamed by Brian and Bowden, he forced a shot and ended up missing.

The more they try to break through, the more anxious they become, and the worse their choices of which targets they make.

This is a common problem for young teams: when facing strong opponents, everyone is eager to save the team, but blindly taking action will only make the situation worse.

On the other hand, Xu Feng's performance on De Paul's side injected a boost of confidence into the whole team, and they played methodically according to the tactics.

"De Paul's Blue Devils really have the feel of a strong team. I think that with their current form, they could even hold their own against Cincinnati."

A reporter from the Chicago Tribune commented.
