NBA: A collection of super busts

Faced with the cheers of the fans, the Kansas players couldn't help but relax, clearly enjoying themselves.

They are college students, teenagers in their late teens and early twenties, so it's normal for their mentality to be unstable.

This is also Marquette's chance!

"Dwayne, just do as the halftime plan." Ye Feng passed the ball to Wade from the baseline: "Go for it! Three minutes, break them down first!"

"Got it!" Wade jumped up and down twice to relax completely, then dribbled towards the frontcourt.

Kansas started with man-to-man defense, and Hinrich quickly rushed to Wade's side, mocking, "You don't really think you can win, do you?"

"You guys don't think you've already won, do you?" Wade scoffed, then suddenly turned and sped up, shoving Hinrich with his elbow to prevent him from quickly catching up.

Then he strode to the basket and fearlessly charged past Collison's help defense.

A fierce mid-air confrontation, a layup, and Wade tossed the ball toward the basket.

Wade played with great determination on that shot!

His breakthroughs are unstoppable, and his moves are fearless!

*Bang!*

Unfortunately, the basketball bounced off the rim and flew out. Graves, who was under the basket, was about to get up and grab the rebound when he suddenly felt a huge force pressing down on him, making it impossible for him to jump.

Then came another loud bang.

"boom!"

Graves fell to the ground in a sorry state. When he looked back, he only saw a tall figure swaying back and forth on the rim.

But after that shot, Ye Feng didn't trash talk or celebrate. Instead, he turned around and leisurely started his return to defense, as if the shot was completely useless and he had no passion left, and had already given up on the game.

While returning to defense, Ye Feng didn't forget to quietly lecture Wade: "You can't play like this, Dwyane. Keep a low profile! Understand? We need to make them think we've already given up, that's it for tonight. The reason we haven't substituted yet is simply because it would be inappropriate to substituted too early."

"If you trash talk them, won't they wake up and start playing seriously?"

"What if things turn around?!"

"You're right!" Wade nodded, then frowned and said, "Then how about I go apologize to him? Say I shouldn't have criticized him?"

"That's all over the act, that's all over the act," Ye Feng said. "So you think you know everything just because it's over? Seriously, have you ever even played basketball?"

The two chatted casually on the court, giving Kansas the impression that neither of them cared about the game anymore. Otherwise, who would be so nice as to be chatting and laughing while thinking about a comeback when they were down by 27 points?

These two are definitely talking about where to go for a relaxing party after the competition.

To reiterate, with a nearly 30-point lead, even with Hinrich and Collison's extensive experience, they're still only under 22 years old...

Young people, when faced with a great victory, are bound to become distracted and relaxed.

In this play, Langford, who had a breakout performance in the first half with 6 of 8 shots made, made a rather unreasonable attempt to force a jump shot against a defender. After the ball bounced off the rim and missed, Ye Feng grabbed the rebound and passed it to Wade.

After receiving the ball, Wade looked up and realized there was no opportunity for a fast break, so he simply slowed down and began to advance the ball in a nonchalant manner.

It has to be said that this guy's acting skills are extremely poor. He was just arguing with Hinrich, but now he suddenly seems listless.

It's just that Kansas is so far ahead that they simply can't be bothered to get into the details or investigate further.

Ye Feng walked all the way to the basket, but instead of setting a screen, he looked at Graves and suddenly started talking to him: "Why don't you stop guarding me and let me score some points easily?"

"How about I don't guard you when you have the ball later?"

"What?" Graves looked at Ye Feng as if he were an alien.

"Let's have a little chat, bro!" Ye Feng whispered, "I want a higher draft pick. If I can go on a scoring spree in the second half and score 20 points, they'll definitely consider that during the draft. They'll think I'm a tough guy who never gives up, and I might even make the top five!"

"You need a chance to be seen. If you can score 10 or 20 points in the second half, you might make it to the second round. This is your best chance to get into the NBA!"

As the two were talking, Ye Feng suddenly stepped up and turned to the side to screen for Wade, who was rushing in. Then he took another step outward, and Graves and Collison immediately collapsed to double-team Wade. Wade passed the ball to Ye Feng behind him.

With no one guarding him, Ye Feng raised his hand and made a mid-range jump shot!

"Good bro!" After scoring, Ye Feng seemed to be addressing Wade, but his eyes were actually fixed on Graves: "Your turn is next!"

Those who didn't hear their conversation would probably think Ye Feng was telling Wade to attack in the next round, but Graves couldn't help but feel tempted.

Ye Feng's temptation to him was simply too great.

That was the NBA, a league he could never have joined in the first place!

At the same time, Graves was also thinking that in NCAA history, there are many players who were originally unknown and had no NBA prospects, but who eventually made it to the NBA through a few breakout games in the Final Four or Third Madness...

For example, Steve Smith, the fifth overall pick in 91, was widely considered to be unable to play in the NBA before the "March Madness" draft, with his draft stock valued at the end of the first round or the second round.

For example, role players Steve Kerr and Dell Curry both made it into the NBA and achieved great success thanks to their sharpshooting skills in "March 3".

Even looking at the last few years, Hamilton is the best example. Back then, this guy made a comeback, leading Connecticut to the championship, scoring 27 points in the final to win the Most Outstanding Player award. He not only ruined Trajan Landon's NBA prospects, but his own draft position also skyrocketed from the end of the first round to the seventh.

I also have the potential to become a top NBA player!

Graves was tempted, so in the next possession, he positioned himself under the basket to call for the ball.

This isn't actually a common tactic or strategy used by Kansas; he's just a pure blue-collar worker.

However, since the team was leading by a large margin, Miles thought for a moment and then didn't refuse, passing the ball to the basket.

In a game with such a huge lead, it's no big deal to let your buddies have a good time.

"Take him down! Let him know how stupid his trash talk was!"

Graves wasn't completely stupid. He cautiously leaned back to check Ye Feng's defense, and then discovered that Ye Feng's defense had indeed become much looser!

This guy actually keeps his word!

In a moment of surprise, Graves immediately dribbled hard and created space for himself, then immediately got up and went for a layup.

Ye Feng, standing in front of him, barely moved, simply stretching out his hands as if to go through the motions.

In that instant, Graves had a feeling: This guy is actually pretty nice!
