The referee finally penalized Garnett for a defensive foul, and Wang Zhizhi was given the opportunity to make a free throw. And after the game, Garnett also generously responded in a professional manner and praised the way Wang Zhizhi handled the ball. "When we finished that game, I had a lot of respect for Wang Zhizhi as an opponent and was very impressed with him." The "Wolf King" said.

Throughout his NBA career, Bartel averaged 3.4 points and 2.5 rebounds per game, and also spent time on the bench. In addition to an NBA championship ring, the most impressive thing is that he once single-armed down the 300-pound "shark" O'Neal.
The incident occurred in 2003, when Bartel played in the Raptors, in a regular game of the Raptors and the Lakers, and Bartel against the league's super center O'Neal.
