NBA: A collection of super busts

Chapter 125 You're going to attack his groin! Eye gouging, throat lock, knee strikes, groin kicks, and all that...

Anthony had entered the game two minutes earlier and played quite well while the Nets' starters were out, scoring 5 points.

Minute.

But everything changed after the Nets' starters returned.

The relentless double-teaming swept over him again. Every time he had the ball, he had to constantly entangle, box out, and fight with Kittles. Just as he was about to attack, Ye Feng or Jefferson's help defense would arrive at lightning speed.

The Nets have really put a lot of effort into targeting Anthony.

Under such extreme defense, Anthony failed to score a single point in the latter part of the second quarter, only missing four shots and committing one turnover. His first half was absolutely terrible.

With only 9 points on 3-of-11 shooting and 3 turnovers, Anthony was truly below par tonight.

On the other side, the Cavaliers also wanted to target Ye Feng and limit him in order to increase the team's chances of winning Rookie of the Year in the future.

The problem is that Ye Feng's playing style is inherently quite difficult to counter.

On offense, he plays a purely blue-collar style, without dribbling, driving, or backing down; he either catches the ball and shoots or goes straight for the basket.

How do you counter this style of play?

Double-team a player who is not on the ball?

Let alone Ye Feng being a rookie, even Jordan has never experienced being double-teamed off the ball more than a few times in his life.

Not to mention that the Nets also have Kidd, the ammunition delivery expert, who repeatedly passed the ball to Ye Feng in the most comfortable position to receive it, assisting Ye Feng to score time and time again.

At the end of the first half, Ye Feng set a new personal record, achieving a small personal milestone.

20 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 2 steals in the first half!

This is the first time in his career that he has scored 20 points in a half!

With such a huge difference in performance between the two top rookies, the Cavaliers were naturally completely outmatched.

54: 40!

By the end of the first half, the Nets had already built a significant lead.

"If this continues, not only will the Cavaliers definitely lose, but Anthony will also lose his Rookie of the Year award!" Barkley said during halftime. "The round-robin series between the Grizzlies, Nets, and Cavaliers will determine who wins this year's Rookie of the Year."

"Whoever performs better in the game will win! But with Anthony's performance tonight, unless he scores 50 points in the next game against the Grizzlies, he'll be the first unlucky one to be eliminated."

"The Nets really went to great lengths to help Ye!" Kenny said. "They double-teamed Anthony like crazy, but Ye, because of his playing style, couldn't be double-teamed at all, or rather, nobody would double-team him."

"So he got a lot of good opportunities! 20 points and 7 rebounds in the first half, Ye delivered another career-best performance!"

"The good news is that Anthony still has half a game to prove he can redeem himself," Barkley said. "The bad news is that he only has half a game left."

Soon, the 15-minute halftime break ended, and both teams returned to the field to start the second half!

"You don't have the guts to go one-on-one with me?" Anthony, instead of calling for the ball after arriving in the frontcourt, taunted Ye Feng: "You coward who only dares to hide behind your teammates! You're too afraid to face me!"

"Didn't I beat you so badly you lost your memory last time?" Ye Feng scoffed. "Right around this time last year, you've forgotten? Need me to give you two more hooks to remind you of the highlight of your life?"

"That was a sneak attack! Only the most shameless bastards would sneak attack during a fight!"

"You didn't ambush Dwayne?"

"I'm a shameless scoundrel!" Anthony roared. "In short, you're afraid to guard me! You're afraid to play one-on-one with me!"

Clearly, the Cavaliers' halftime tactic was to have Anthony provoke Ye Feng, forcing the Nets to pit Ye Feng against Anthony one-on-one.

There's always a way to deal with one-on-one situations; that's what Anthony excels at.

Normally, such taunts and provocations would be completely useless. The Cavaliers were also at their wits' end, so they had no choice but to take this desperate gamble and hope that the Nets would actually fall for such a low-level and foolish trick.

"Since you're courting death." Ye Feng looked at Anthony and could see the anticipation and smugness in Anthony's eyes as his scheme was about to succeed. Normally, Ye Feng's next words would be, "Then let me teach you a lesson."

But what Ye Feng said shocked Anthony.

"Then I'll have Corey send you to hell!"

"Corey, come on, give him some more tricks! Gouge his eyes, lock his throat, kick his groin, knee him, trip him, poke his dermatitis, give him the whole thing! Use it all!"

"You think I'm a professional killer?" Kittles yelled. "I'm not that dirty on the court! Fuck you! Don't you dare insult my pure defense like that!"

As he spoke, Kittels leaned close to Anthony again, even offering him comforting words: "Don't worry, kid, I don't know most of the tricks he mentioned."

Anthony was not reassured at all after hearing this.

The vast majority won't?

Tell me, what exactly constitutes the vast majority?

Kittels seemed to know what he was thinking and quickly demonstrated it.

It was indeed a completely new version that Anthony had never seen before.

He felt his own gate of reincarnation suddenly tighten, followed by a wave of tingling pain that swept through his entire body.

"Fuck you!" Anthony cursed angrily, turning around to demand justice, but Ye Feng had already rushed in front of him.

"Give it to me!" Ye Feng bound his hands to the basketball, snatching it away like an iron clamp.

"It's here! A robbery!" Barkley exclaimed excitedly, "Another charge has been added to Ye's wanted list!"

After making the interception, Ye Feng didn't try to take credit for the play. He passed the ball to Kidd and then made a quick run forward, waiting for his chance.

Kidd, of course, guided the ball through the air, tossing it into the sky. Ye Feng arrived in time, delivering a powerful one-handed dunk, scoring another 2 points for the team. "Great shot!" Kittles reached out, wanting to high-five Ye Feng: "Perfect steal!"

"Sorry Corey, we're brothers, but I can't give you a high five right now."

"You despise me?" Kittels looked at Ye Feng in disbelief.

"No, I despise him!" Ye Feng pointed at Anthony: "Who knows what he used that place for?"

"But he still looks down on me!" Kitters exclaimed, as if he had been utterly insulted. "Who am I doing all this for?!"

"So that I can leave behind a good reputation for 'teaching newbies a lesson'," Kidd thought to himself.

Jefferson also said, "It's so I can make the All-Defensive Team."

Davis wasn't going to be outdone: "So I can have more experience on my resume when negotiating contracts!"

Kittels cursed, "You bunch of bastards! You all deserve to go to hell!"

Anthony's expression turned ugly as he glared venomously at Ye Feng: "Coward!"

"Why are you staring at me like that!" Ye Feng retorted, annoyed. "It's not like I poked your throat!"

"Fuck you!" Anthony cursed, "I'm going to kill you!"

Ye Feng: ? ?

Does this person not understand human speech?

"You're dead!" Anthony continued his utterly ineffective threat, "I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"

Anthony made some tough talk, got the basketball, and then raised his hand to elbow Kittles right at the junction of his neck and torso. Kittles then took a step back and quickly pulled up to shoot.

This time his jump shot finally went in!

"FUXX! FUXX! FUXX!"

After finally scoring, Anthony swore three times to vent his anger and frustration.

But now, he's not the only one who's unhappy.

Kittels was getting anxious too.

I just poked you.

And there's no one to step on your feet, push your waist, poke your eyes, or smash your balls.

You fucking elbowed me to death?

"I'll show you what real adult defense is!" Kittels, clutching his neck and swallowing hard to ease the pain, didn't mince words; he was a true pragmatist.

He's not dirty, doesn't like to use too many dirty tricks, and has always had a good reputation in the league; almost no one would consider him...

It's associated with dirt.

But not using it doesn't mean you won't.

Just like how gamers may seem to make a lot of big and dirty moves, in the eyes of an expert like Kittels, only laymen would use such obviously dirty moves.

When he turns bad, no one except the person directly involved can see it!

For example, in the next possession, Anthony also closely guarded him and tried to put some pressure on him.

But then, as he turned around, Kittles retaliated by elbowing Anthony in the back.

Then, he smoothly made a cut.

Although the basketball didn't end up in his hands, Ye Feng still managed to grab it and score with a mid-range jump shot.

But Kittels was happy.

"That's just a little interest kid," Kittels said viciously. "I hope you pay back the debt tonight, or I guarantee that by the time we meet again, the accumulated interest alone will make you wish you were dead!"

In the following period, Kittles demonstrated to Anthony, through his actions, exactly which part he was referring to.

He certainly wouldn't leave Anthony with any injuries, nor would he let Anthony lie on the court writhing or be sent to the hospital.

Anthony's physical pain might even completely disappear after he goes home and sleeps tonight.

But the mental anguish he inflicted on Anthony might just become the most unforgettable thing for Anthony throughout his entire rookie season.

After all, most defenders wouldn't do that to a rookie they've never wronged.

Under Kittles's supervision, the gap between the two sides continued to widen, and the Cavaliers' midfield plan to have Anthony provoke Ye Feng and then look for one-on-one opportunities completely failed.

Ye Feng shouted and yelled, but he refused to match up against Anthony even once.

They're not going to give you a chance; they're going to make you get more and more worked up and more and more anxious.

Then, they lost completely!

82: 61!

At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers were down by 21 points.

In the fourth quarter, Anthony and other key players did not give up and still hoped for a comeback, but unfortunately, their efforts were in vain.

In less than 5 minutes, they were outscored 7-3 by the Nets' bench, bringing the gap between the two teams to as much as 25 points.

So, no matter how unwilling or frustrated they were, Anthony and the Cavaliers had no choice but to accept the reality of their crushing defeat.

The rest of the game became garbage time, and the Nets' core players didn't even get a chance to play in the entire fourth quarter.

叶枫最终只打了29分钟，就高效拿下29分15篮板4盖帽4抢断的完美数据！

Meanwhile, Carmelo Anthony, who was competing with him for Rookie of the Year, had an incredibly poor performance. He played 35 minutes but only made 21 shots, scoring just 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists, while also committing a terrible 7 turnovers.

In the battle for Best Rookie, Ye Feng takes the lead!

After the match, Ye Feng took the opportunity to display his shamelessness.

A reporter asked, "You didn't face Anthony head-on for even a single possession during the game. Was that the coach's plan?"

"Yes!" Ye Feng replied without hesitation, "That's how the coach arranged it, there's nothing I can do about it!"
