NBA: A collection of super busts

The forced timeout caused by the injury ended, and both teams returned to the court.

"I knew you guys would bring this white softie up here!" Hinrich caught the inbound pass, looking at Wade with a mocking expression. "Dwyane, guess how we're going to play next?"

"No guessing!" Wade said. "Only an idiot would play guessing games with you."

When Hinrich saw that Wade wasn't responding, he simply stopped talking to him. Meanwhile, Langford and Miles had already set an off-ball screen, and Hinrich immediately threw the ball over.

After the cover was provided, Novak was the one who faced Langford!

Langford, the team's best-built player, immediately took the ball and drove hard, easily pushing past the defense to the basket and scoring 2 points!

The final 2 minutes and 23 seconds.

81: 74!

Kansas has stabilized the situation once again.

"Sometimes I really wonder if these Kansas guys are even college students, they're just too calm!" Wilmarcus shook his head and said, "Even at this moment, they can still rationally execute the best tactics."

"To attack Novak, who is the weakest defender on Marquette, we should let Langford, who is the most physically fit player on the team and is in the best form tonight, play."

Smith added, "But now it's time to test Marquette. They know that if they bring in Novak, Kansas will focus their attacks on him. What they need is for him to be able to shoot. Now we'll see if Novak can find opportunities to hit long-range shots on offense."

"If he can't make his long-range shots, then Marquette's substitution was a failure! Because Kansas will definitely continue to attack Novak relentlessly."

When it was Marquette's turn to attack, this time Townsend replaced Wade in the pick-and-roll, and Kansas' defense was quite daring. They actually left Novak open and double-teamed Wade.

This is because without Diner, Marquette only has Wade as his ball-handler on the perimeter, and double-teaming him can easily disrupt Marquette's rhythm.

As for Novak, his performance tonight was on par with Dina's, a true master of undercover work. They simply couldn't believe that this soft-looking guy, who had been working hard all night, would suddenly become so accurate at this moment!

So the basketball came into Novak's hands, he aimed, pulled up, and shot!

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, his poor shooting touch continued.

The group of people under the basket immediately scrambled for the rebound. Ye Feng first shoved Graves behind him with his butt, then gently tugged at Collison's jersey before leaping up to grab the rebound.

"Get the hell out of here!"

Ye Feng roared, his hands gripping the basketball tightly like iron clamps. Instead of forcing his way up himself, he passed the ball to the outside: "Shoot it with confidence, your own brother's under the basket!"

Novak catches the ball, aims, and shoots from the same spot for the second time in a row!

"Whoosh!"

This time, the basketball did not disappoint Marquette; it went in perfectly!

Top shooters don't miss twice in a row from the same spot!

"Great shot!" Wilmarcus yelled. "Wade's drive and dish, Ye's rebound! The Marquette duo have created a perfect opportunity for Novak!"

“Two!” Smith corrected. “He caught one! That’s enough for Marquette!”

Klein, sitting on the sidelines, roared in anger. This shot proved that he had won his gamble!

He yelled, "Defense! Defense! Keep this ball out!"

Unfortunately, despite his shouts, Kansas once again found Novak through a series of screens and mismatches. Langford drove hard with the ball again, and this time, he drew a foul on Novak and got to the free throws!

"Kansas are really targeting Novak! Marquette can't even hide," Wilmarcus said. "What a rational and intelligent way to play!"

"Lonford was Kansas's best player tonight, shooting 10-for-15 and scoring 26 points!"

Smith said, "The biggest problem for Marquette right now is time! If they want to pull off the greatest comeback in NCAA history, they have to make the most of every second!"

At the free-throw line, Langford didn't hold back this time, making both shots to widen the gap again.

There are only 1 minute and 37 seconds left.

83: 77!

A 6-point gap.

Marquette's round was almost a replay of the last one.

It was another pick-and-roll between Wade and Townsend. Clearly, at this moment, Klein asked Ye Feng to stay under the basket and provide offensive rebounding support for the team.

Kansas double-teamed Wade again, clearly indicating that they would not allow Wade to score at this point and preferred to let role players like Novak take the shots.

So the basketball was back in Novak's hands, but this time, instead of being at the left 45-degree angle, he was on the right.

"Bang!"

But what remained the same was that his shot missed again.

This time, Ye Feng failed to grab the offensive rebound because Graves had completely given up on rebounding. He didn't even look at the basket; he just faced Ye Feng head-on, one hand gripping Ye Feng's waist, and the other hand pushing against Ye Feng's chest, using all his strength to push him out of the three-second zone.

Despite this confrontation being no different from a real fight, the referee still chose to ignore it.

This is the highest level of NCAA deadly competition.

Collison easily protected the backboard.

"Try to steal it again! You son of a bitch, try to steal one more! FUXX!" Graves was overjoyed after successfully holding off Ye Feng.

Tonight, especially in the second half, he was truly exhausted by Ye Feng.

He lost countless offensive rebounds and Ye Feng scored over his head countless times.

But at the most crucial moment, Graves finally held off Ye Feng once!

He was excited!

"Go ahead and grab it!"

In the next instant, Ye Feng suddenly turned around, brushed past Graves, rushed in front of Collison, and leaped high into the air with his arms outstretched as wide as possible.

Ye Feng's interception was perfectly timed; before Collison could even release the ball, Ye Feng had already taken it into his own hands.

Then he turned around quickly and threw the ball out again.

It's Novak again, in the same spot!

By this time, the Kansas players were almost all off the field, while Novak was still in a completely empty position.

Top-tier marksman? No way!

"Great shot! Marquette! So tenacious!" Wilmarcus shouted excitedly. "So tenacious! Incredible! A 29-point deficit, now only 3 points left!"

"83-80! If they can defend just one more time, they have a chance to tie! The game is completely back!"

"Incredible two three-pointers! Two goals in a row, Novak saved Marquette!"

"I think it was Ye who saved Marquette," Smith said. "An offensive rebound and a steal—those were the real life-saving plays!"

"Timeout!" At this moment, the Kansas coach finally couldn't hold back and called out his last timeout.
