But unfortunately, since Garnett is in a bad mood tonight and Qin Yue is a Chinese player, such moments are destined not to happen.

Garnett's bad mood is related to the Wolves' current terrible lineup.

Historically, the next two seasons were absolutely the darkest moments since Garnett reached his peak.

Because despite delivering top-level performances of "20+12+4" for two consecutive seasons, the Wolves only achieved 31 and 32 wins respectively in those two seasons.

In the West during this period...

Such records mean that every April Garnett would start his fishing mode early, sitting at home watching Duncan and Nowitzki making a show in the playoffs.

For Garnett, who will turn 30 next year, this is absolutely intolerable.

At the moment, Garnett knows better than anyone...

His peak period is nearing its end, and he is no longer as young as before.

As for why Garnett would give Qin Yue, a Chinese player, a higher look?

Because as a future famous "Yao Bragger" and Anta spokesperson, Garnett was also a NBA player who highly valued the Chinese market and his image among Chinese fans during this period.

Assuming Qin Yue remembers correctly...

Besides Yao Ming's rookie season, Garnett once tried to use trash talk tactics on him. As Yao Ming showcased the lucrative returns of the Chinese market to the entire NBA, Garnett basically stopped trash-talking during matches with Yao.

And even when he occasionally spoke...

Most of it carried a joking nature rather than the uniquely Garnett-styled "trash" talk.

On the court, when Garnett, known for his fairness, took the initiative to walk over to Qin Yue...

He fully demonstrated his flexible moral standard regarding trash talk to Qin Yue.

"I've heard about your name for a long time, well done, young man."

At this moment, patting Qin Yue on the shoulder and offering encouragement...

Garnett didn't show any trace of the Wolf King's demeanor?

This was clearly a kind and affable senior.

Of course, after turning his gaze to Kwame Brown, who clearly was older yet called himself a little brother, Garnett immediately became a different person.

At that time, Garnett's fierce eyes clearly conveyed to Brown:

Can't you see I'm talking to Qin Yue? Who are you?

At Oracle Arena, amid the battle drum and cheers from the on-site fans, the match quickly entered the pre-game ceremony.

As a new project in Warriors' home opening ceremony this year...

When the tuning of "Overlord's Battle Song," adapted from "Qin King's Battle Music," played, the fans throughout the arena chanted Qin Yue's name together.

Even across the NBA... it's quite rare for a rookie to achieve such recognition.

On the court, watching Qin Yue make his stunning debut amid the cheering crowd, Richardson, who usually loved playing the fool, instantly felt the gap between people.

This was the genuine affection of Bay Area fans toward Qin Yue.

However, at this moment, only Jack, who had been getting close to Qin Yue recently, knew...

The weight Qin Yue truly carried on his shoulders.

After all, if you want to wear the crown, how can you not bear its weight?

And as the pre-game ceremony ended, the flashlights on the scene lit up one by one...

The big screen immediately presented the starting lineup, and the ten players stood ready at center court.

For the Timberwolves, Michael Olowokandi, Garnett, Wally Szczerbiak, Trenton Hassel, and Marko Jaric were the starters.

For the Warriors, Brown, Qin Yue, Pietrus, Richardson, and Davis made their appearances.

During the jump ball, Brown outmaneuvered Olowokandi to secure the Warriors' opening offensive opportunity.

With that, Qin Yue officially welcomed his NBA debut.

On the court, Mr. Big Beard swiftly dribbled through the half court.

Seeing Qin Yue, who was already in a set position for the pick-and-roll, Davis' body very truthfully moved towards Qin Yue's side.

However, Garnett's defensive reach was astonishing.

Even though Davis had left behind Jaric, who failed to bypass the pick-and-roll, Mr. Big Beard could not dribble through the next defensive area of Garnett.

Before the Wolf King's eastward escape, during his peak time, Garnett's weight stayed long within the 118 kg to 120 kg range.

With less knee pressure at this weight range, Garnett's defensive coverage was absolutely historical.

Unfortunately...

Wolf King is the Wolf King.

Huskies are Huskies.

On the court, as soon as the Wolf King completed the blockade of Davis, Qin Yue immediately adjusted from rolling down to popping out, and moved to the top of the arc to get ready to receive the ball.

Seeing this, Davis dared not delay and, while Garnett's attention was still on him, passed the ball to Qin Yue.

Facing Jaric, who temporarily switched defensively in front of him, Qin Yue smashed the ball hard and then appeared to be trying to go for a jump shot.

At that moment, Jaric, who never expected a 6-foot-11-inch inside player would perform a dribble and shot before him, could only pounce naively and innocently.

And then...

On the sidelines, the atmosphere group composed of Jack and Bynum immediately led the loud shout: "Oh my God, look what he's doing? He shook off the defender with the 'Bowing to Buddha' move!"

Golden State Warriors, wearing the number 30 jersey, shook off the opponent's defender with 'Bowing to Buddha'...

In all fairness, this makes sense.

On the court, after shaking off Jaric, Qin Yue proceeded to jump shot near the free-throw line and scored.

This poetically and aesthetically pleasing offensive move by Qin Yue quickly ignited the entire arena!
