NBA: A collection of super busts

This crucial quarterfinal battle kicked off promptly at 7 p.m.

Marquette's starting five remained unchanged: Diner, Wade, Merritt, Ye Feng, and Townsend.

Kentucky also kept their starting lineup unchanged: Gerald Fitch, Keith Bergans, Eric Daniels, Marquese Ester, and Chuck Hayes.

Townsend and Hayes both stepped up to the center circle to prepare for the jump ball.

Marquette didn't let Ye Feng, the best physical power forward, jump the ball because Townsend was also tall, strong, and had an excellent wingspan, so his jump ball win rate was not low.

It's puzzling that Kentucky, with Estelle who has better physical attributes and a better physique, would send Hayes, who can't jump at all and is only slightly taller than Wade, to jump the ball.

But as soon as the referee blew his whistle and threw the basketball into the air, everyone immediately understood why Hayes was jumping for the ball.

He may not be good at anything, but in the NCAA, he has the most outstanding experience.

He jumped almost at the exact moment the referee released the ball. Although his jump height was average, his timing was perfect, and he passed the ball to guard Fitch in one go, and Kentucky began their attack.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Fitch quickly passed the ball to Bogans. Like Hayes, his prospects in the NBA were rather average, but in the NCAA, he had top-notch individual ability, experience, and more complete physical development.

At almost 23 years old, he can easily gain an advantage over the other 18- or 9-year-old kids in the league who are still developing. It's like pinching a chick.

But tonight he faced Wade, who was 21 and a half years old. Not only was he only one year younger than Bogans, but he also had top-notch talent and a body that had fully developed at a young age.

Faced with absolute talent, Bogans' extra muscle mass is somewhat insignificant.

Bogans dribbled at the top of the key, trying to use his strength to push past Wade, who was guarding him. However, Wade had already chosen his position and blocked Bogans's driving route, forcing him to barely accelerate and break through from the left side, which he was not good at.

Wade didn't give him any space or chance to adjust along the way. Bogans stumbled and crashed into the paint, then barely got up, trying to end the play with his accurate shooting.

But no sooner had he pulled it up than Ye Feng appeared in front of him, raising his hands and standing motionless like a mountain.

Bogans's exceptionally long wingspan and solid lower body left him completely unable to find space to shoot after the collision. His forced shot went wildly off target, veerging over the basket and being easily caught by Townsend on the other side of the rim.

"I think I got bitten by a mosquito." Ye Feng touched his chest. "It's really itchy."

Bogans listened to Ye Feng's provocation but did not respond. He had matured; he was a 23-year-old mature man and would not stoop to the level of an 18- or 9-year-old child.

He prefers to get things done through his performance on the basketball court.

Diner received the baseline pass from Townsend and began his first attack of the night.

Upon arriving at the frontcourt, Dina immediately passed the ball to Wade, while Ye Feng quickly moved to the top of the arc, turned to set a screen for Wade, and then accelerated down the other side.

"It's open! It's open! It's open! Damn it, can't you see me?" Ye Feng shouted exaggeratedly, looking like he was going to cripple him if he didn't give him the ball. His exaggerated actions successfully attracted Hayes' attention. In addition, Wade was also looking at Ye Feng while gathering the ball. Kentucky immediately felt that this ball was definitely going to be given to Ye Feng to finish the game.

Their defensive focus immediately shifted, and Wade certainly wouldn't waste this opportunity. He easily jumped and scored 2 points with a layup!

"Pass the ball! You lone wolf! Compared to you, Marbury is a selfless ball-sharing master!" After Wade scored, Ye Feng didn't celebrate with him, but instead spread his hands and backed away while complaining to Wade.

"I scored!" Wade snorted. "Shut up, you softie! I'll lead you to victory, and all you have to do is obediently screen for me."

The Kentucky people listening to the Marquette Twins' conversation couldn't help but frown. Was this infighting caused by a dispute over the spoils?

good news!

Bogans considered himself a player who relied on his brain, and as he dribbled the ball forward, he began to think about how to exploit the conflict between the two players.

But at that moment, Wade suddenly ran towards him, pressing him with full-court press!

Wade used his exceptionally long wingspan to disrupt Bogans' dribbling and attempt to hinder his advance.

Bogans seemed used to this. He turned around and used his back to brace against Wade, then quickly turned around, trying to accelerate and shake Wade off.

But he had only turned halfway when a figure appeared in front of him.

"Long time no see, buddy!" Ye Feng immediately stuck close to Bogans, blocking his path to the basket. Wade came out from the other side, and the two of them double-teamed Bogans in the backcourt!

Faced with this sudden double-team, Bogans immediately appeared somewhat flustered.

This is the tactic that Coach Klein has set up!

Although Bogans has a height of 196 cm and a strong physique, his speed is average, and his wingspan is only 196 cm, which makes it difficult for him to use his height and wingspan to throw the ball when facing a double team.

At the same time, his left-hand dribbling is quite poor, and he easily gets into trouble once he is double-teamed.

Now, Marquette and his two men are exploiting his weakness.

The towering Ye Feng raised his hands to block Bogans's passing lane, while the incredibly fast Wade blocked Bogans's path to the right.

In addition, the double-team came quite suddenly and unexpectedly, after all, just 5 seconds ago, the two of them were arguing and seemed to be fighting amongst themselves.

But no matter what, with the two of them working together now, Bogans has nowhere to escape!

Finally, he managed to jump and try to throw the ball out, but Ye Feng blocked it back with a volleyball-style defense.

Then Wade grabbed the basketball, threw it into the air, and Ye Feng leaped up, caught the basketball with both hands, and slammed it into the basket!

Unbeknownst to the two players celebrating excitedly on the court, West was back in the back row.

After watching Marquette's last game live, this guy clearly had some ideas and stayed in Minnesota instead of leaving.

"His lower body is quite solid, and his physical strength might already be at an NBA level, which is greatly underestimated." West quickly jotted it down in his notebook: "But at the same time, he also has terrifying jumping ability. His jumping ability is not underestimated, but he has a solid lower body and powerful jumping ability at the same time."

"This kid's overall talent is probably being underestimated..."
