NBA: A collection of super busts

A few minutes later, Anthony and his team stormed into the arena under the coach's guidance, only to be met with complete silence.

Their head coach, Jim Boehheim, is known for his fiery temper. He had just heard that his players had been treated like dogs while he was packing up in the locker room, so he immediately came over with his men to settle the score. But they were too late.

Looking at the empty arena, he immediately cursed, "A bunch of bastards! Cowardly cowards! Deserters! Trash! Softies!"

"In the match later, teach them a lesson they won't forget! Let them know how powerful we are! Let them see that all their little tricks are useless jokes in the face of strength!"

"Coach," McNamara, the team's freshman guard, suddenly said, "they seem to have forgotten something."

Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and there lay a tactical board all alone in the middle of the court.

If they frequently watch horror movies, they should know that they absolutely should not go over to look at that thing at this moment, because it could very well be some untouchable Pandora's box.

Unfortunately, Warrick, the team's sophomore forward, clearly hadn't watched many movies. He strode over and picked up the clipboard.

Then he glanced at it, cursed, and slammed the tactical board to the ground.

"What is that?" McNamara muttered as he walked over, glanced at it, then stood up and stomped on the tactical board, snapping it in two. "Fuck you! These bastards!"

On the broken tactical board, the gift Ye Feng left for them can still be clearly seen.

"This is the second time, dear runner-up."

.......

By this time, all of Marquette's players had returned to their locker rooms, laughing heartily. Their pre-match tension had completely dissipated, and everyone was completely relaxed.

Then, Klein cleared his throat and stood in the middle of the crowd again.

"Alright, let's make up for the tactics lesson we missed yesterday! Everyone, please describe the situation of your assigned player."

Diner immediately said, "Their point guard is a freshman who is very accurate from three-point range and plays great defense. He played all 35 regular season games, averaging 13 points, 4 assists and 2 steals per game. He is Syracuse's number one defensive anchor and top shooter on the perimeter."

"His speed is average, so when I defend him, I will stick close to him as much as possible, not giving him an easy chance to handle the ball, and even less so, not letting him shoot easily."

Wade continued, "Kouas Duane, the team captain and spiritual leader, but his level is very average. Apart from his persistent defense and never-give-up fighting spirit, there's nothing particularly noteworthy about him."

"At the same time, his three-point shooting is inaccurate, so I can not only easily deal with him, but also help my teammates with defense."

Merritt added, "Anthony is the best freshman in the entire D1 league. Of course, that's what others think. I've always believed that our Ye is the best freshman."

"But his regular season averages of 22 points and 10 rebounds, and his tournament averages of 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 4 assists are also terrifying. He is a consistent and all-around scorer who can score from any position on the half court. He is an unpredictable and undefendable top scorer."

"Experts believe that even if he enters the NBA, he will immediately have the firepower of around 20 points per game, so I think that after Dwyane has secured Duane, he should come and help me."

"I'll have your back, buddy!" Wade chuckled, clearly full of confidence.

"Then there's Hakeem Warrick," Ye Feng continued. "He's known as the Pippen next to Anthony, and his job is very similar to Pippen's back then: defense, sweeping, and open shots."

"He is very intimidating on the defensive end, has terrifying mobility, nicknamed 'The Helicopter,' and has NBA-level jumping ability and speed. He is considered to be the only guy on this team besides Anthony who has NBA potential, or even lottery potential."

"However, apart from his amazing mobility and jumping ability on the defensive end, his defense is actually quite erratic. He likes to jump a lot, and I'll shake him off like a cute baby. On the offensive end, he can post up and shoot, but neither is consistent. Apart from cutting and dunking, his scoring ability is actually quite poor. I'll keep him away from the basket to reduce his efficiency."

Townsend concluded, "Craig Foss and Jeremy McNeil both started in the tournament, but their skill level and style are actually quite similar. If I had to say, Foss is a bit faster, and McNeil is a bit better at blocking shots."

"But they are all pure role players with no offensive ability. I will keep them away from the basket. Apart from rebounding and dunking, they can't do much else."

"Very good!" Crane said again with satisfaction, "I know you can all remember this. Also, I want to say that this Syracuse University team relies on individual isolation plays on offense. With Anthony on the team, even though their offensive system is relatively simple and direct, they can still achieve amazing results."

"But conversely, if you can stop Anthony, you can basically stop this team."

"On the defensive end, the rougher their offense is, the better their defense is. Among the team's starters, apart from Anthony, the main selling point of the others is almost entirely their defense."

"We have players who can steal, block shots, and help defend, so we must remain rational and calm on offense, and play steadily without being arrogant or impatient."

"Be careful of their zone defense. Texas's Ford was completely shut down by Syracuse's zone defense. They are best at dealing with fast backcourt players who can't shoot."

"Compared to Ford, my shooting is way more accurate, Coach!" Wade said quickly when he saw Klein looking at him. "And I will never get addicted to one-on-one play."

Krein then said with satisfaction, "Alright, in short, never underestimate the opponent. The rest is up to us!"

"Well then, let's take this last bit of time before we go in to warm up and review it one last time."

"Let's recall the wonderful moments we just imagined on the field, and then make them a reality!"

"yes!"

......

An hour before the start of the match, the players from both sides finally arrived late and once again entered the field.

At this moment, all 7 seats in the stadium were completely filled, and the enthusiastic fans couldn't wait to see tonight's ultimate showdown.

Tonight, both teams received almost the same level of cheers and shouts, with roughly equal numbers of supporters and equally loud voices from the fans.

The fans couldn't decide the winner in the pre-match noise duel, so now it's up to the players to prove themselves on the field!
