NBA: A collection of super busts

Klein knew that Syracuse would definitely keep Ye Feng and Wade on high alert from the start of the game, and would definitely have devised a lot of tactics to target them.

Therefore, he decided to let the rest of the team initiate the attack first. If it worked, they would continue. If it didn't work, Wade and Ye Feng would be ready to take over the main offensive role at any time.

His plan can now be considered a great success. He caught Syracuse off guard, rendering many of their pre-match arrangements useless, and Dina and others performed far beyond his expectations.

More importantly, both Ye Feng and Wade maintained ample physical strength, ensuring they had sufficient energy even in the final moments of the game.

After all, they fought tooth and nail for 40 minutes in the last game, with Ye Feng and Wade playing the entire game without a break.

Even if a young man is energetic, has plenty of stamina, and recovers quickly, he still has to use it sparingly, right?

There are some things young people don't understand, but Crane has reached the age where he can only feel regret and despair. His life experience is that you should save as much as you can when you're young.

Even if you two are exceptionally talented, it's always good to be prepared, isn't it?

Therefore, although Marquette is only leading by 2 points so far, their huge strategic success and the backup plan they have kept give them a significant psychological advantage.

After all, a normal team might keep a backup plan as an emergency measure, which at most includes bench players, extreme tactics, or other things that can't be used as regular weapons.

The reason why tactics like "playing second" or "using surprise attacks" cannot be used as regular tactics is because they involve uncertainty and instability.

But the two backup plans that Krein has now left are practically nuclear weapons.

Compared to Wade and Ye Feng, Anthony was on fire in the first half, carrying the team on his shoulders and serving as a model of team leadership. He not only completely dominated Merritt but also assisted his teammates to score several times.

His physical exertion is enormous, and it's hard to say whether he can maintain the same level of performance in the second half.

During halftime, Wilmarcus and his partner began their analysis: "Tonight, Anthony's performance completely overshadowed Ye and Wade; his performance was a precipitous leap ahead of everyone else."

"Even if Syracuse loses, I would still support awarding him the MOP if the game continues like this. His performance this year has been truly amazing, and he performs even better in crucial matches."

Smith said, "I think Marquette should also change their defensive strategy. They spent the entire first half having Merritt guard Anthony one-on-one, which is obviously not enough. To deal with a scorer of Anthony's caliber, you have to use various methods to target him."

"For example, in the last game against Texas, they used almost every defensive tactic I could think of. I think Marquette will definitely change things up in the second half!"

"But they failed. They tried every strategy imaginable but couldn't contain Anthony. Marquette probably didn't change his defensive approach for that reason either; they preferred to focus their energy on offense. As for Anthony?"

"We accept it even if you score 50 points by yourself and beat us!"

"It seems neither of us can convince the other. We'll just have to see who's right based on the second half of the game."

As the two players continued their analysis and discussion, the second half of the match was about to begin. The two sides changed venues and started fighting again!

The first offensive possession of the second half was Marquette's. They immediately launched their signature offense. Wade initiated a pick-and-roll and easily drove to the basket. Although his layup was blocked by Warrick, Ye Feng followed up and successfully grabbed the rebound and scored!

Ye Feng's rebounding instincts stem from his accumulated experience before his reincarnation, coupled with the added talent of this life.

In his previous life, Ye Feng also played basketball, and he was quite good at it. He was a top-tier blue-collar center in the CUBA Sunshine Group. Back then, he was nicknamed "Z Rodman" because his job was to grab rebounds and play defense.

Of course, his basketball skills were once brutally defeated by his classmates in the CUBA professional group at the same school. His court experience, rebounding instincts, enthusiasm and other things were all weak and limp in the face of absolute physical talent and physical qualities.

His basketball coach in his previous life once lamented: "What a pity. If Ye Feng were a little taller and had better running and jumping abilities, he could at least play in a CUBA professional group game just by relying on rebounds."

This time, Ye Feng possessed top-tier physical talent, coupled with his own instinct for rebounding, allowing him to dominate the boards against these NCAA college players.

"Good shot!" Wade reached out and touched Ye Feng's hand. In the second half, the two of them were going to start going all out.

"You're a good backboarder too!" Ye Feng chuckled as he quickly returned to defense. He and Wade were both at full strength.

Syracuse University's offense remained completely unoriginal.

Anthony positioned himself on the left side of the midfield and reached out for the ball.

This time, he had his back to the basket, dribbled the ball towards the inside twice, then suddenly stopped, turned around, and faked a move with the ball.

Although during halftime, Clay repeatedly emphasized not to jump when defending Anthony and not to fall for his trap.

But Merritt still couldn't control himself; his body went out of control and he jumped toward Anthony.

Next, Anthony got up, nudged the ball, and then used his core strength, which far surpasses that of a college student, to stabilize his hand position and release the ball.

"Whoosh!"

"Beep! Blocking foul! 2 points awarded, 1 free throw!"

"Hooray!" After successfully completing the 2+1 play, Anthony excitedly pounded his chest again, glaring at Merritt in front of him and shouting, "Why don't you let your grandma do it, kid! If your grandma does it, I might respect her age and go easy on her."

Merritt had no interest in responding to Anthony's trash talk. He had committed his fourth foul, and all he felt now was frustration and dejection. He held his head in his hands, hating himself for jumping and for falling for the trap so easily.

Klein was also extremely worried on the sidelines.

What should I do?

Should Merritt, who has four fouls, continue to match up against Anthony?

That would be tantamount to killing him. He would be too afraid to make any moves because of four fouls, and Anthony, who was already getting away with anything, would only become more insane.

Should we replace them?

Klein looked at the players on his bench; whoever stepped up would just be feeding the enemy.

Should we have Wade defend?

Wade is indeed a top-notch defender, but his height of 193 cm is a major disadvantage. If you ask him to guard Anthony, who is 203 cm tall, Anthony can easily shoot him through with a single pull-up jumper.

What else can we do?

"How about I give it a try?"

Just as Krein was so worried he was about to lose his hair, Ye Feng's voice suddenly drifted over. Seeing Krein's hesitant expression, he added, "After watching him play half a match, I don't think he's anything special."
