NBA: A collection of super busts

Coach Crane knew that Ye Feng was doing this on purpose, and that he was using the move that had been taught to him before.

Strategically despise the opponent, but tactically take them seriously.

Doing this really helps everyone relax.

So after cursing, he said, "But since you put it that way, I think it wouldn't hurt to talk about Anthony first."

Ye Feng immediately said, "Tonight, Texas went all out against Anthony. They had four players guard him, but all of them were completely outmatched. Against shorter opponents, Anthony would score with pull-up jumpers and back-to-the-basket moves. Against taller opponents, he would drive to the basket. Finally, when Texas used the power forward position to defend him, he started playing off-ball."

"Besides one-on-one, Texas tried various defensive strategies such as double teams, 2-3 zone defense, and box-1, but none of them could stop him. Then came his amazing performance of 33 points and 14 rebounds."

"Very good, it seems you've been watching the game closely." Klein praised Ye Feng. They had already managed to underestimate their opponents strategically, and now it was time to take them seriously tactically: "So, let's get back to Kansas. The combination of Hinrich and Collison is definitely not to be underestimated."

"You know how strong they are. These two have played together for four years, and their chemistry is undeniable. They are the most cohesive duo in the league today..."

"Okay, one of the strongest!" Klein was interrupted by Wade's protest and shook his head, saying, "Ye and Dwyane are the most compatible duo in the NCAA."

Wade turned around triumphantly to look at Ye Feng, and stretched out his hand to challenge him to a head-on collision, but unfortunately, the only response he received was Ye Feng's middle finger.

The team's players burst into laughter once again.

Looking at the players like this, Klein suddenly realized that the most nervous person tonight might actually be himself.

The players were relaxed and fully prepared.

He sighed, a mixture of helplessness and relief in his voice, then looked at everyone and said, "I won't say more. I've repeated this a thousand times these past few days. Go all out, follow our plan exactly, and take down Kansas!"

"We will win!" the players roared in unison.

Then, after saying he was done, Klein couldn't help but add, "Three points, watch out for their three-pointers! They're the most accurate team throughout March Madness."

"Relax, Coach!" Ye Feng stood up with a smile, patted Klein on the shoulder and said, "Relax, leave everything to us."

"We will win the championship!"

Relax?

Klein looked at Ye Feng and suddenly felt it was absurd.

I was actually comforted by a 19-year-old?

That's not all; the person who comforted him was actually the team's number one troublemaker and reckless troll.

It was only at this moment that Klein belatedly noticed something else.

Ye Feng had been in many fights and had been suspended many times.

However, he never caused any trouble within the team. He got along well with everyone and was friends with everyone.

Whenever the team is in trouble, morale is low, or needs a boost or to liven things up, it seems like this guy is always the one who steps up to cheer everyone on.

Is this kind of person really a reckless brute?

At that moment, Klein even thought that Ye Feng would definitely have a smooth and successful career after leaving the team and entering the NBA.

Then, he chose to shut up.

Trust Ye Feng, trust your players!

.......

Nearly 6 fans flooded into the New Orleans Dome, and as expected, there were far more Kansas fans than Marquette fans there tonight.

Not only because it's closer to Kansas City, but also because Hinrich and Collison are both top-tier seniors in the NCAA.

They've played in this league for four years, and they've built up their popularity over those four years. Neutral fans will subconsciously choose to support these players they are more familiar with and understand better.

When Kansas entered the stadium, the entire crowd erupted in thunderous cheers.

The enormous sound waves, like a roaring tsunami, almost blew the Dome, the stadium's renowned structure, away.

When Marquette University players entered the stadium, a small group of Marquette supporters who spotted them first immediately erupted in wild cheers.

But this huge sound wave lasted for less than 5 seconds.

As more Kansas City fans spotted Marquette's entrance, they completely drowned out the Marquette fans' boos with their own.

"Absolutely insane!" CBS broadcast the game live across the country tonight, and their star anchor Wilmarcus exclaimed, "This is the Final Four! The purest basketball game in the nation, just a preview of the ultimate madness, a do-or-die battle before the final hurdle."

"Both teams' players have taken to the field! They've fielded their most regular starting lineups. For Marquette, it's Dina, Wade, Merritt, Ye Feng, and Townsend!"

"Kansas is also fielding its best players: Miles, Hinrich, Graves, Langford, Collison!"

His partner, Smith, chimed in, "It's worth mentioning that both teams have two top freshmen with lottery prospects in this game. Talent-wise, this is arguably the most talented matchup in the NCAA this year. Let's see what kind of game these four freshmen can bring us tonight!"

On the court, Collison had already stood in the center. His tall and broad figure made him look like a fully grown adult. In front of him, Townsend, who was always known for his strength, looked as thin as a high school student.

"You want to make it to the finals?" Hinrich looked at Wade provocatively. "Next year! Next year is a good opportunity because by then, we'll have left college."

"Look at Dwyane, look! This is the mentality of the underdog." Ye Feng said with a mocking look, "They never made it to the finals even once in their senior year, so they think everyone else is as weak as them."

"You think this year is your best chance? Sorry, your best chance was last year. Because I hadn't even entered the league yet."

"I heard that you guys couldn't even win a game in the knockout stage the previous two years? You only made it to the semifinals in your junior year, and then suffered a crushing defeat? In the end, you said with tears in your eyes: 'We'll try again next year!'"

"Rubbish!"

"Stop!" Wade interrupted Ye Feng's attack with a frown: "Why do I feel like you're insulting me?"

Yes, he's another player who didn't win in the knockout stage for the first two years of his career, and only managed to make it to the final four in his junior year.

"Don't overthink it, Dwyane. You're different from them!" Ye Feng patted his brother on the shoulder to comfort him. "You didn't play in the knockout stage when you were a freshman. I think they lost by 20 points that year."

"Then am I even worse than them?" Wade roared in fury.

"But you're better than them this year." Ye Feng completely ignored Hinrich, including the trash talk Hinrich was spewing, and said to Wade, "You have me by your side, they don't."

"Fuck you." Wade rolled his eyes. "That's all thanks to you."

"That's it!"

Seeing that the two were completely ignoring him and were instead doing their stand-up comedy, Hinrich decided not to make a fool of himself any further. Instead, he spat and turned around to stand where he was supposed to.
