NBA: A collection of super busts

At the end of March, although spring had arrived, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was not blessed with warmth, and the outdoor temperature was still below 0 degrees Celsius.

At the same time, because this is the largest lake port in all of Wisconsin, adjacent to Lake Michigan, Milwaukee's winters are even more unbearable, with both dry and cold conditions, a double attack of physical and magical forces.

Fortunately, this was 2003, not 1846, so when Ye Feng hissed as he entered the student dormitory and slammed the door shut, the biting cold was shut out, and the warm breeze made him feel much more comfortable immediately.

"Hey, Ye! You played really well in the match the day before yesterday! We would have definitely lost without you." As soon as Ye Feng entered the student dormitory, someone greeted him.

Ye Feng responded with a smile, saying that he would continue to work hard.

After the first person spotted Ye Feng, more people immediately gathered around, expressing their support for him. Many even wanted to take photos with him and get his autograph.

Fortunately, since they were all classmates and had many opportunities to meet, they didn't linger with Ye Feng for too long and soon dispersed.

But this still proves that Ye Feng is a very popular star at this university.

After all, just two days ago, they defeated the invincible University of Missouri in the March Madness tournament and successfully entered the Sweet Sixteen.

Although the Marquette Golden Eagles did win the NCAA championship, that was back in 1977.

In 1977, the United States had just launched Voyager 2, the most famous person in the United States was Carter, who was their president rather than a UFO, Egypt and Israel reached a reconciliation for the first time in history, and Dao Ming Si and Orlando Bloom, who looked quite similar to Ye Feng, had just been born.

However, since 1977, Marquette University has only made it to the Sweet Sixteen once, in 1994. The rest of the time, they have either been eliminated in the first round or failed to even make it to March Madness.

In other words, Marquette University is in its best form in 25 years this year.

It's only natural that the alumni were excited and went crazy!

在刚刚结束的那场比赛里，身高208公分，有着220公分臂展的叶枫在对阵密苏里大学的比赛里贡献15分13篮板4盖帽1抢断。

In addition to his double-double, he also made a crucial steal in the final 7 seconds of the second half. Then, he completed a handoff with the team's top scorer, Dina, assisting him to score the game-tying 3-pointer, successfully forcing the game into overtime and securing the victory.

However, Ye Feng was not the best player in that game, nor was he the team's star player.

The best player and team leader in that game was Dwyane Wade, who recorded a triple-double with 20 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists, and scored 5 points in overtime to lead his team to a hard-fought victory.

Even though Wade was already a junior in college, it didn't affect his draft prospects much. Experts and scouts were still very optimistic about him. Most people believed that even if he wasn't as good as that high school student who started studying Martin Luther King Jr.'s autobiography when he was only a senior in high school and the super freshman from Syracuse University, he was still an absolute top freshman!

After all, freshmen are usually the most favored by NBA scouts, who value their potential and malleability.

The older you get, the less potential you have and the less malleable you become.

Especially after the new millennium, teams have become increasingly fond of freshmen who have only played for one year, believing that they are better and have more potential.

Of course, this is also because those truly top geniuses are becoming increasingly impatient and simply cannot stay in university for the full four years like their predecessors in the 80s and 90s.

In this situation, Wade was still considered a top-five rookie by scouts at the "advanced age" of a junior, which shows how outstanding his talent was.

Apart from Wade, the rest of the Golden Eagles were originally quite mediocre.

None of the others were able to make it into the NBA later on. Most of Wade's teammates went on to play in other leagues after completing four years of NCAA.

At least that's true in the original world.

Needless to say, Ye Feng is a time traveler.

Ye Feng had no idea how he got here. All he knew was that after waking up, he was already on a plane to Milwaukee, holding an acceptance letter from Marquette University.

Before he arrived, the previous owner of this body attended Richards High School in Chicago, not far from Milwaukee. He was a four-star high school student in the United States and could be considered a pretty good local basketball star. As a result, he received a full scholarship to Marquette University and was able to join the Marquette Golden Eagles.

As a time traveler, Ye Feng naturally had the necessary weapons.

He's cheating!

A talent system for subpar players!

Besides that one line of text, the system also displayed a message saying "Break through Marquette University's original grades," but nothing else.

Before Ye Feng transmigrated, he was a post-00s generation. He had no idea where Marquette ended up this season. He only knew that Marquette did not win the championship.

That means as long as we win the championship, the team is guaranteed to go further, and I will definitely get a reward, so there's nothing more to say.

Just do it!

Of course, the system also gave Ye Feng a newbie gift pack, allowing him to randomly draw four talents.

Ye Feng, who had just woken up on the plane, accepted the fact that he had transmigrated almost instantly, or rather, he had been waiting for this day for a long time!

Then he opened his newbie gift pack without hesitation.

Stromile Swift's leaping ability, Marcus Camby's shooting, Kwame Brown's lower body, and Nerlens Noel's screens.

Looking at these guys, Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh: they really are all high draft busts. Of these four, apart from Camby who was once close to All-Star level, the rest are so good that whoever picks them will be a laughing stock in the league for at least five years.

Although it was somewhat surprising to Ye Feng that Camby, a former Defensive Player of the Year, appeared on the list of busts, upon closer reflection, this guy was the runner-up in '96, surrounded by monsters.

Add to that his reputation as the worst defensive player in history, which has been criticized, questioned, and ridiculed by countless people, and it's not surprising that this guy is here.

Even if he is the king of counterfeit goods, he is still a counterfeit.

However, a little analysis reveals that although these players are notoriously weak, these skills are their signature abilities, the very skills that allow them to survive in the league for a long time even if they are weak.

Swift's leaping ability once made old Rockets fans exclaim, "This is the final piece of the puzzle for the team to win the championship." Camby's shaky machine gun shooting allowed him to always score some points. Kwame was once hailed as the biggest bust in history, but at his peak, he was the league's low-post defensive efficiency king. Noel almost signed a max contract with some sucker just because of his screen quality and defense.

The combined skills of these individuals are absolutely enough to create a top-tier talented player!

Even if this cheat isn't actually scientific.

It's quite absurd that someone could have Swift's jumping ability while also possessing Brown's lower body.

To this, Ye Feng could only say: Dude, I've already transmigrated and have cheat codes, and now you want to discuss science with me?

What's the difference between this and talking about pure love with a girl who is located in Andorra and whose online name is "Doesn't Eat Cilantro (Can Fly)"?

Regardless of whether it's scientifically sound or not, thanks to the newbie gift pack provided by the system and his foundation as a four-star high school student, Ye Feng did quite well at Marquette University this year.
