Qin Yue's consecutive "40+" performances finally came to a stop at ten games.
In Denver, Kenyon Martin, the Nuggets' defensive anchor, who returned this season from injury, was once left with a meme-like expression by Qin Yue.
After numerous repairs, Martin's athletic abilities are no longer as they were, but his mouth, which has offended countless people, remains as brash as ever.
Before the game, this pesky inside player, who once called Garnett a Chihuahua with a Doberman's physique, said to Qin Yue: "If I hadn't been injured last year, you and your team wouldn't even have passed the first round."
Then...
Martin paid the price for his big mouth.
In the first quarter, right from the start, Qin Yue used a 4-5 pick-and-roll to switch Martin onto himself.
The result...
Thinking Martin's strength was as tough as his words, Qin Yue effortlessly left him behind with a burst of explosive speed and sudden stops.
