The next second, Artest sighed: "No wonder people always say that the NBA is a place that only teaches people to get worse."
Even though he had already fully sensed that Qin Yue was learning to get tougher when he evaluated Qin Yue's one-on-one defense before,
tonight's Qin Yue still opened Artest's eyes.
Unlike Qin Yue's previous defenses that only escaped fouls due to star whistles covering for him...
Tonight, Qin Yue was clearly using his star whistle and the permissible defensive scale by the referees to proactively disrupt Gasol's offense.
One passive, one active.
Artest knew very well that Qin Yue's desire not just to be a defensive stat padder meant he was destined to grow into a true interior defense master in the future.
After halftime, the Warriors still entrusted Qin Yue with the primary defense against Gasol.
Unlike Kobe, who even in front of Artest had the "right to call heads or tails"...
