NBA: A collection of super busts

But judging from Ye Feng's own performance, he didn't like this shot either.

He didn't even utter any trash talk or celebrate.

This basket was arguably the most crucial of all his points tonight, but it was also the quietest he'd scored since.

He even looked like he was afraid others would know that he was the one who made the two points, and he started to retreat on defense with his head down.

West, seeing Ye Feng's expression, was both amused and exasperated: "You clearly don't like this pose, so why don't you practice it?"

Perhaps we could ask him about it after the match?

But it seems a bit against the rules for the team president to contact a top prospect privately beforehand.

On the court, Ye Feng, who had just scored a goal, seemed to have unlocked his full potential. Marquette then executed an almost identical tactic, except this time Dina dribbled past defenders to draw their attention before passing the ball to Ye Feng, who had once again been left out.

"Whoosh!"

Ye Feng hit another close-range jump shot, scoring 4 points in a row!

Marquette once again widened the gap to more than 10 points.

"Damn hand!" Ye Feng cursed. "Damn system, couldn't you at least give me a slightly less accurate, but still better-looking, shooting form?"

Ye Feng knew very well why he was let go time and time again.

His shooting form is obviously inaccurate, and it's impossible for him to make consecutive shots.

Just like when you're providing shuttle service downstairs in your apartment complex, you certainly wouldn't give those people who use a catapult-like basketball-shooting technique any kind of intensity.

Therefore, Kentucky chose to increase their defensive intensity against Wade and Diner, leaving Ye Feng unguarded.

And because Hayes, who's as solid as a wooden stake, is standing under the basket, Kentucky isn't worried at all about Ye Feng attacking the rim.

Hayes is strong enough that there are very few players in the NCAA who can knock him down and send him flying before finishing the attack.

Next, Kentucky's offense faltered again. Ye Feng and Wade double-teamed Bogans once more. This guy played terribly tonight; Marquette completely figured him out. Facing the double-team, he made another mistake, his fifth of the night.

The reason Ye Feng dared to double-team Bogans time and time again was because of Hayes.

This guy's layup accuracy is negligible, so Ye Feng won't waste any energy on him.

After Wade steadily dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he repeatedly set pick-and-rolls with Ye Feng. This was the third consecutive time Marquette had set a pick-and-roll between Ye Feng and a guard.

Ye Feng once again received the basketball a step outside the three-second zone, then slowly raised the ball, pretending to aim.

This time, Kentucky wouldn't let him go. Even if his shooting form was ugly, after making two consecutive shots, Kentucky didn't dare to give him another open shot. Hayes stepped forward to block Ye Feng's shot.

But Ye Feng instantly lowered his center of gravity, slammed the ball heavily on the floor with both hands, and took a step forward into the three-second zone, then pulled up from the spot.

Kentucky's center, Esther, didn't have Hayes's floor, and his talent was completely insufficient to compete with Ye Feng, even though he jumped as high as he could and spread his arms to try to block the shot.

However, after the two collided head-on, Estelle immediately lost her balance and was sent flying, crashing off the field and landing on the floor in a very disheveled state.

Ye Feng had already slammed the ball into the basket with both hands, and was hanging on the rim, swaying back and forth.

Before he landed, he slapped the backboard with a thud.

After landing, Ye Feng reached out with a mischievous grin, pretending to be kind and friendly as he tried to help Estelle up, but the words he uttered were anything but friendly.

"Don't lie on the ground, get up quickly, the ground is cold!"

"Fuck you!" Estelle was already frustrated and angry, and now she was even more furious at the provocation. She raised her hand and slapped Ye Feng's outstretched hand.

"Snapped!"

The slap was loud and heavy.

"Hey!" Ye Feng immediately looked at the referee, his face full of innocence.

"Technical foul!"

This is the NCAA, and basketball here is pure.

Referees don't care about a player's status or the situation of the game. If you make a move outside of the game, or if it's an unnecessary serious physical contact, even if it's just hitting someone's arm, the referee will absolutely not tolerate it.

They immediately gave Estelle a technical foul.

"Very smart." West continued to evaluate Ye Feng in his mind: "He knows his own strengths and weaknesses, can observe the opponent's defense, and most importantly, he's a bastard who's good at provoking his opponents."

On the court, after that technical foul, the situation completely turned one-sided.

Kentucky didn't fall behind in the first half because they suddenly found their rhythm and hit a few three-pointers, but they didn't have that kind of super-performing performance in the second half, and their top scorer Bogans was completely shut down.

Kentucky's offensive threat and scoring rate have declined rapidly.

On the other hand, Ye Feng's consecutive mid-range shots, dunks, and technical free throws gave Marquette a surge, and riding this wave, they were never again allowed Kentucky to narrow the gap to within 10 points.

As the game progressed, Kentucky's resistance became increasingly futile, and their defense became less and less worth mentioning.

Finally, with Bogans missing a desperate three-point attempt, Marquette University won again!

85: 68!

With a 17-point advantage, they easily advanced to the final four!

Throughout the game, Ye Feng was undoubtedly the team's number one contributor to victory. He scored a team-high 22 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 blocks. In particular, his two consecutive mid-range shots, a dunk, and the technical foul free throws in the second half completely stunned Kentucky.

Besides Ye Feng, Wade also had a great performance tonight, putting up a well-rounded stat line of 18 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals. His matchup against Bogans, in particular, showcased his strength.

Many scouts at the game believed that Wade was one of the most underrated rookies in the draft, and that he was the strongest player after James and Anthony.

The entire team surrounded Ye Feng, and Edwards even crawled between Ye Feng's legs, lifted him up, and jumped around excitedly.

"OH! FUXX!" After Edwards jumped a few times, Ye Feng suddenly cursed and then broke free from Edwards's neck and jumped off.

"What's wrong, Ye?" Edwards asked curiously. He still had a few of his signature 720-degree aerial spins with fancy hand cranks to show, so why did Ye Feng go down?

"I didn't remove my vaginal protector." Ye Feng placed his hand on his private area and subtly adjusted the trajectory. "It got stuck just now."
