Chapter 519: Chapter 172: "Qin Yue’s Law" (Single-day 10,000-character update, begging for subscription and monthly votes!) _2

After the GOAT’s return from injury, the ever-improving skills have already made all Warriors’ opponents fear for their days.

Last year, Nike, which suffered a setback due to Qin Yue’s season-ending injury, secretly ramped up efforts to further build Qin Yue’s GOAT image.

However...

Noticing Qin Yue’s strength increased rather than diminished after the major injury, David Stern, following the referee’s routine meeting in November, promptly made the following adjustment to the increasingly puzzling GOAT:

In view of GOAT’s hard-solving abilities that annoy all NBA teams, from now on, GOAT’s offensive star whistle will be replaced by a reverse star whistle.

Moreover, while defending against the GOAT, aside from malicious fouls and overly obvious fouls, defensive players will not need to obey the league’s long-canceled Hand-Check rule and can use physical collisions to give GOAT higher intensity defense.

Of course, as compensation, GOAT’s defensive star whistle will still be retained.

Additionally, all league referees will adopt a see no evil, hear no evil style of officiating when GOAT is on defense to ensure GOAT can properly vent on the defensive end.

For Stern, who deeply understands the balance existing among all things, this emergency update is undeniably crucial.

In November, the Warriors continued to host their fourth regular-season opponent—Charlotte Bobcats.

This summer, Ron Artest, who renewed his contract with the Bobcats, proactively proposed before the game that he would be responsible for defending Qin Yue.

As Qin Yue’s former teammate...

Artest knows very well that Randolph, Okafor, and Biedrins are no match for Qin Yue.

Although Artest himself isn’t confident he can limit Qin Yue, being a true warrior thoroughly converted by Jordan, who considers himself the Bobcats’ master, Ah Tai still resolutely took the lead before the game started.

What puzzled Artest was...

Not long after the game started, when he had to foul to stop Qin Yue due to defensive mispositioning, the referee acted as if blind, ignoring his foul on Qin Yue’s cut.

Thus, already skilled in using hands to probe the referee’s penalty scale during the game, Artest gradually increased his defensive intensity against Qin Yue.

"This isn’t a foul?"

On the field, after a fierce physical clash, Artest secretly marvels, thinking.

"This also isn’t a foul?"

In the penalty area, almost hanging on Qin Yue’s arm, if not experienced personally...

He really couldn’t believe the main referee officiating this match is Dan Crawford, who is reputedly on good terms with Qin Yue.

Actually, not long after the match against the Bobcats started, Qin Yue fully felt the reverse star whistle he enjoyed on the offensive end.

Moreover...

When Qin Yue, as usual, told Crawford "Hey, Dan, remember you owe me a free throw," Qin Yue found Crawford would intentionally avoid him.

Proving that just relying on the defensive players’ efforts is destined not enough to form a truly meaningful "Qin Yue’s Law."

But as this referee Crawford-led match showed through TV broadcast, giving all NBA teams a glimpse of the treatment Qin Yue received on offense, with this regular season further deepening, the finalization of "Qin Yue’s Law" is only a matter of time.

Despite being guarded by former teammate Artest and the resolute Bobcats crew defense, Qin Yue still scored 34 points in the match.

However, with the Bobcats’ defense scale comparable to the nineties for this match, Qin Yue exceptionally only got six free throws.

"You shouldn’t hold a grudge against me for this match, right?"

After the game, seeing the beaten and rugged Qin Yue from the elbows and savage collisions during the match, Artest said cautiously, "I don’t know why the referees allow me to use such rough defensive tactics against you." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Immersed in leading the Warriors to a joyful four-game winning streak start, Qin Yue smiled, "Ron, do you think I’m that petty? I told you, we’re not teammates anymore, but we can still be friends."

Seeing this, Artest slightly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, soon after Artest left, Brown, who knew Qin Yue best, said, "Boss, should I inform the management to reduce Ron’s presence in our championship documentary footage?"

"Who is Ron?" Qin Yue, clutching his bruised chest, said through clenched teeth, "Was he part of our championship winning back then?"

Upon hearing this, Brown knowingly nodded.

Indeed, even becoming a GOAT, Qin Yue’s petty nature remains unchanged.

Of course, Qin Yue, who was just joking with Brown, would not truly have the management cut Artest out of the Warriors’ championship documentary.

In November, after Stern’s emergency update, the frequency of Qin Yue scoring "40+" triple-doubles in matches significantly decreased.

Although Qin Yue despises Stern’s unfair treatment more than anyone, Tim Grover’s advice during his injury recovery to change his playing style, and the hard work he put into post-up and mid- to long-range jump shot helped him quickly adapt.

In fact, the recent decrease in Qin Yue’s scoring mainly stems from him not wanting to overexert during the regular season.
