Artest, a tough guy in the NBA, is a thorn in the side of the NBA. For his impression, everyone's first reaction is violent and crazy. In training camp, he broke Jordan's ribs and took the lead in the group fight at Oppenheimer Palace, elbowing Harden maliciously and swearing at Kobe Bryant. It can be described as bad.
However, everyone has to accept his defensive level. He is the top forward guard in the NBA. He is strong and not afraid of confrontation. He never gives up, never gives up, and most players are afraid to confront him and his defense. Many NBA superstars are out of order under the new defense, and the overall data is far behind the usual data.
Just like Kobe Bryant and James, these scoring machines make him uncomfortable all over, because there are few data drops. On the court, Artest will try his best to make the opposing players uncomfortable, create all kinds of troubles for his goals, and affect his state and score, such as grabbing Pierce's pants.
Artest's performance on the defensive end is excellent. His single defense ability, lateral movement ability, flexibility, stealing consciousness and speed are excellent, which makes his defense range very large. Moreover, his defense is very oppressive, and the players who play against him will be robbed if they are not careful. Because of his outstanding performance, Artest won the Defensive Player of the Year Award and was selected as the All-Star Team in 2003-04. Artest ranks third in the league with 2.08 steals per game, limiting his opponent's score to 8. 1 minute per game. This is a wonderful performance.
