NBA: A collection of super busts

After the game, Ye Feng made no attempt to hide his excitement when facing reporters, saying directly, "This is the most exhilarating game I've ever had in my basketball career! I'm proud of my guys, and I'm proud of my friends!"

"We did it! Now, we only have one last goal!"

Ye Feng's own jubilation and excitement were only part of the story. After the same match, every Marquette player who was caught expressed the same sentiment.

"We thought we were going to lose, including myself, and I'm very sorry about that," Crane said, shaking his head. "But it's true, the locker room during halftime was like a funeral. Nobody spoke, nobody talked, nobody interacted, and everyone thought they were done for."

"Then Ye stepped forward and said a lot. The sentence that impressed me the most was: 'Once you give up, the game is over.'"

"That sentence gave us the strength to hold on, restored our fighting spirit, and led us to a stunning comeback victory!"

"Ye told me to shoot whatever I wanted. He said with him there, he'd grab the rebounds, and all I had to do was shoot; the rest was up to him and God." Novak, who hit two crucial three-pointers, also praised Ye Feng: "Then I shot, and he really did grab all the offensive rebounds!"

"Shooters all over the world would love to have the chance to be his teammate."

Wade said, "Although I am Ye's most respected elder brother and best friend, I have to say that Ye led us in the second half tonight. He overturned the table during halftime and shouted that we would win."

"He did it!"

"I almost cried." Dina's eyes were red after the game. "I still want to cry now. You know how badly I played, but Ye made me regain my confidence. He said it's okay to miss shots, just make sure the opponent misses too."

"He said there were plenty of ways to help the team besides offense, so I kept diving to the ground and focused all my energy on defending Miles. His performance in the second half was just as bad as mine."

"Ye saved me, saved the team!"

"Ye saved my last hope!" Edwards Ye, who hadn't even played, said with tears in his eyes, "I almost thought my college career was over, but now it can continue! Thank you, Ye! Thank you so much! He saved my life!"

This night was destined to belong to Ye Feng!

This is not an exaggeration, but an undeniable fact.

In addition to the nearly 7 fans who flocked to the stadium, more than 2000 million people across North America watched the game live on television.

Overnight, Ye Feng, who was originally infamous, will definitely be famous after tonight!

Many people who didn't previously pay attention to Marquette University now know him and this violent inside man from Asia.

On the same night, Ye Feng's draft stock skyrocketed once again.

Before tonight, major media outlets and draft experts across the United States generally predicted his draft position to be between 10 and 14.

You might get into the lottery, but your chances won't be very high.

Of course, there are exceptions. For example, CBS ranked Ye Feng 7th, while ESPN only ranked him 16th.

But that's all in the past.

That very night, all the lists updated in real time by major media outlets underwent significant changes.

CBS, who likes Ye Feng the most, ranked him directly to No. 2, and even ESPN, which had previously thought he couldn't make the lottery, ranked him No. 9.

Other media outlets also predicted his ranking to be between 5th and 8th.

He has truly entered the ranks of the top newcomers of the year thanks to this competition, and his popularity has increased significantly once again!

But this is not something everyone likes to see.

For example, West, that old fox, is currently sighing and complaining in his temporary office in New Orleans.

He genuinely believed in Ye Feng and wanted to recruit him in the draft.

But all he had was the first-round draft pick from the Rockets.

Given the Rockets' current form, that draft pick will most likely fall between 12 and 15. If Ye Feng plays poorly in the next few games, then West has a good chance to use that draft pick to acquire Ye Feng.

But now, after this outburst....

Let alone 12th-15th, even 5th place might not be able to secure a win against him.

The only thing West can rely on now is the number one draft pick that his spendthrift ex-boyfriend traded to the Pistons early on.

Even if West does get the top pick in the end, would he be willing to use it to select Ye Feng?

West himself wasn't sure; all he knew was that he had a terrible headache.

Riley was having just as much of a headache as West.

He didn't go to New Orleans to watch the game in person, but he received a phone report from his subordinates.

Instead of fighting, they had a phenomenal breakout season, and their draft position skyrocketed...

My head hurts.

Riley was having a headache while browsing through various news and reports about tonight's game.

He discovered something else.

This Ye Feng, besides having exceptional physical abilities and immense potential, actually possesses a completely new attribute.

Leadership qualities.

Even when trailing by 29 points, he still gave a speech at halftime, then led the team to victory by setting an example, earning the respect of the entire team, making them play around him, and fight alongside him.

This kind of leadership quality is truly a rare commodity!

This alliance is not lacking in exceptionally talented monsters, but those with leadership qualities and the ability to lead a team are truly rare.

For example, Patrick Ewing, whom Riley coached back then, lacked this very quality, which is why he was widely regarded as the worst of the four great centers, always failing at crucial moments.

And this Ye Feng.....

Riley rubbed his head, completely at a loss as to who to choose.

Meanwhile, in Detroit, another player with a very high chance of getting a top draft pick, Dumars, was quietly waiting outside the players' locker room.

The Pistons had just won a tough game, defeating the Nets at home and maintaining their position as the top team in the Eastern Conference. The players were in high spirits, and after the post-game meeting, several key players came out of the locker room.

The group joked around while discussing where to go for fun that night.

They are the reason for Detroit's rise this year and are also very popular with local fans.

Chauncey Billups, Richard Hamilton, and Ben Wallace.

Dumas immediately went up to him: "How about we postpone tonight's party? There's a game highlight reel I think you guys should watch."

"Who are we watching?" The team's head coach, Carlisle, came out as well. He still had hair on his head and immediately guessed what game Dumas wanted them to watch: "Which college student is worth you waiting for us at the door, and not even waiting until tomorrow's training session?"
