While confrontation and stealing complement each other, in the confrontation with Artest, any slight deformity in your dribbling will be immediately destroyed by him.
Of course, at this time, Artest also possesses quite excellent lateral speed. He can lower his center of gravity at any time and become a wall you can never bypass.
All these, coupled with his inexhaustible passion for defense, forge the strongest perimeter defense lock of the early 21st century!
You can call him a brute, a brainless fool, but you cannot question his defensive capability.
How long his defensive passion lasts, depends on how long he stays on the court.
Artest once again successfully forced Roger to slow down, dragging the game into a positional battle.
And this is precisely the defensive style the Pistons love the most.
