NBA: A collection of super busts

"Host has completed mission: Lead Marquette to break the existing record!"

"Extracting a brand new, substandard talent for the host..."

"The host has been granted the Darius Miles talent: Dexterity! The host will possess the Dexterity of Darius Miles. May the host become the master of fire and water!"

The competition was still ongoing at the time, and Ye Feng didn't have time to properly study this talent. Now, lying in bed, he can finally calm down and start studying this thing.

That's Darius Miles's skill!

Thinking of this, Ye Feng got out of bed and turned on his computer.

He needs to ask Wikipedia who this person is.

Ye Feng had never heard of this name before.

However, the fact that he had never heard of this name shows that this guy is indeed a fraud.

Wikipedia quickly provided the answer.

Darius Miles was selected third overall in the first round of the 2000 NBA draft by the Los Angeles Clippers, straight out of high school. She is the first player in the NBA to go straight from high school and be named to the All-Rookie First Team.

Miles, who entered the league as a super talent, had a pretty good first year.

This is his third season in the league, and in those three seasons, Miles has made almost no progress. Whether it's his game performance, game statistics, or personal skills, there has been no significant improvement.

Even before his skills improved, injuries had already found him. He was traded to the Cavaliers this season and is now out for the rest of the season.

This is probably a major reason why he was able to get into the system's "fake goods list".

His current status in the NBA is also awkward: an ordinary starter playing for a bad team.

It's no wonder Ye Feng doesn't recognize a player of this caliber.

What Ye Feng didn't know was that this year was just the beginning of Miles' tragic career.

Since the start of this season, Miles has never been healthy. One injury after another quickly destroyed him, and to make matters worse, his life has become a mess.

After retiring due to injury, this guy was also involved in the infamous "NBA health benefits fraud case," where he and other NBA players defrauded more than $400 million.

As for this guy's playing style and court position, Ye Feng quickly found out.

This guy's talent can be summed up in one sentence.

A combination of McGrady and Garnett!

This was the title given to him by the experts who were optimistic about him when he first entered the league.

They believe he has McGrady's agility, Garnett's size and defense. Many people think that if he develops well, he could become a basketball monster with Garnett's defense and McGrady's offensive skills, capable of guarding positions 1 through 5.

Upon seeing this, Ye Feng understood immediately.

If development goes as expected, this will be a 10-centimeter shorter but with explosive physical abilities, like the Venban Amazon.

Of course, this is assuming things go as expected. In the world of talent shows, things can often go wrong or even exceed expectations.

That guy, Fengxue, was known as "Shang Qiao Xia Ke" before the talent show.

However, a player's development may fall short of expectations, their performance on the field may be disappointing, and their career may be ruined by various issues both on and off the field.

But their talent doesn't lie.

This can be seen from the Miles videos that Ye Feng watched next.

This guy is truly capable of anything, from flying to disappearing into the ground.

He can protect the rim and grab rebounds under the basket, and defend players at positions 2 and 3 on the perimeter. He's capable of steals and blocks shots; however, on offense, besides catching and finishing plays, he can't even execute the most basic pick-and-roll properly...

Then Ye Feng searched for his funny mistakes compilation.

I discovered there are even more highlights than in a compilation...

Trampling on his foot while dribbling, missing a layup, falling down during a one-on-one situation, airballing three shots, losing his defensive position, getting faked out and jumping around, being disoriented by the opponent's back cut...

He's been in the league for three years, but he still looks like a high school student.

The comment about McGee is very fitting for him: top-notch below the eyes.

Fortunately, Ye Feng only inherited the talent below his eyes.

Moreover, this made Ye Feng feel that his body was becoming increasingly unscientific.

Top-notch lower body, top-notch jumping ability, and now top-notch agility.

Super Saiyans lose some speed when they gain a lot of muscle, and Cell makes a fool of them. But I, Ye, now have both muscle and speed.

"Dalioth Miles? Why are you watching his videos?" Wade, who had just fallen asleep, sat up at some point.

"Some people say he's my role model," Ye Feng blurted out, immediately uttering a lie. "But I think I'm much better than him!"

"I think you're right." Wade nodded, then tilted his head and slumped back onto his bed, as if he had just been sleepwalking. "By the way, if you're bored, you can also look up Jordan's highlights."

"They even said Jordan would be my role model."

Ye Feng spat, indicating that the guy was dreaming, and then he was too lazy to continue investigating who this guy was; he was just a little restless.

Just like a player in a game who has acquired new equipment or a child who has received new shoes, they can't wait to try them out.

Ye Feng's father in his previous life once said: "You can't even hide leftover steamed buns in a doghouse!"

Eager to try it out, Ye Feng left the room, hoping to run into someone and play ball together to test his newfound ability.

After leaving the room and strolling around the corridor to find no one around, Ye Feng decided to go back to the room and pull Wade up.

Sleep for nothing, get up and party!

However, just before Ye Feng returned to his room, he finally saw other people appear in the corridor.

Edwards and Dina.

Because Dina's grades were even more outrageous than Wade's, Krein arranged for the two of them to be roommates, and they just happened to come out now.

Judging from their equipment, they were clearly going to play ball.

"Together?" Ye Feng took the initiative to greet him.

"Let's go!" Dina nodded immediately.

"Just for a little while! Ten minutes at most." Edwards continued his paternalistic role: "You had cramps tonight, and if you play any longer and strain yourself, you won't be able to play the game the day after tomorrow..."

Clearly, Edwards was there to keep an eye on him and prevent him from going too crazy.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Dina shrugged, then sighed, "I played terribly tonight, I really can't sleep. I want to go dribble the ball, just to see if I can make one more shot in the next game?"

"I don't want to hold anyone back anymore."

"With that kind of momentum, you'll score at least three goals in the next game!" Ye Feng laughed and walked over, following the two into the elevator. "If you feel unwell at all, we'll stop immediately, okay?"

"Don't worry! I want to play one last game more than anyone else. I will never force myself, nor will I allow myself to just sit on the bench and watch my brothers fight their hearts out!"

Dina patted his chest and made a solemn promise, and then the three of them went to the hotel's own basketball court.

"How about we try a few three-pointers to get a feel for it?" Dina suggested, missing a three-pointer as he raised his hand.

"We only have 10 minutes, let's not waste time shooting threes," Ye Feng said. "Let's play one-on-one!"

"You attack, I defend! You seemed a bit overwhelmed by the high-intensity defense tonight and made quite a few mistakes. I'll increase the intensity for you."

"Ye!" Upon hearing this, Dina's eyes almost welled up with tears as she looked at Ye Feng.

The guy had clearly misunderstood; he thought Ye Feng was there specifically to boost his confidence and to cooperate with him.

After all, anyone who plays basketball knows that defense is the most boring, tiring, and tedious job.

But now, Ye Feng, the team's star player, is actually willing to help this sinner with extra training!

"Stop talking nonsense, come on!" Ye Feng clapped his hands together, lowering his center of gravity.
