In the annual NBA star income of 07, Yang Di ranked first, higher than Kobe, Yao Ming, James, Duncan and other stars.

Then on China's Forbes list of stars, Yang Di was undoubtedly elected first, and Yao Ming ranked second with a revenue of 390 million.

followed by Jet Li with 240 million, Liu Xiang with 160 million, Zhang Ziyi and others with 55 million.

According to the ranking of exposure, Yang Di is still the first, Yao Ming is the second, basically the media are reporting around these two people, and they are not too tired of visual fatigue.

How many assets Yang Di has, now even Yang Di himself doesn't know, anyway, he is sitting and collecting money every day.

The Warriors entered the playoffs, and his exposure rate was further improved, and every moment the media wanted to find Yang Di for an exclusive interview, but Yang Di refused.

On the first day of the playoffs, the Cavaliers beat the Wizards, the Spurs beat the Suns, the Rockets beat the Jazz, and the Lakers beat the Mavericks.

Judging by the record, none of them were underdogs.

The Rockets vs. Jazz game was fought to the last minute, and was finally killed by Yao Ming's backward turn jumper, which can be regarded as a classic battle in Yao Ming's career.

On the second day of the game, the Warriors vs. Hornets game began.

Before the start of the game, the Oracle Arena distributed a playoff commemorative T-shirt, and unlike last year, this year a blue jersey was distributed, which was also a strange choice of non-black and white.

Yang Di's No. 8 jersey was sold out, and the promotional poster on the outside of Oracle Arena was a handsome personal photo.

There was also a group photo of Byron Davis, Monta Ellis, Ray Allen, Chandler and other players, and the production was completed as early as the end of March.

The city of Auckland is brightly lit, traffic is congested, and the stadium is flooded inside and out.

This is a global live broadcast competition, and the attention has been high since the beginning, and in China, it has been sought after by the audience to the greatest extent.

The Hornets are making the playoffs for the first time in recent years, while the Warriors are the defending champions.

The polished floor reflected the lights, and the players from both teams entered the court with the DJ introducing them, with the Hornets wearing yellow jerseys and the Warriors wearing white jerseys.

The lights come on and the players shake hands with each other.

"Come on!" Yang Di and Yi Jianlian said.

"What do you say?" Paul didn't understand the Chinese spoken by Yang Di.

"It's nothing, it's just that I said that Yi should do his best, don't release the water just because I'm his national team teammate." Yang Di laughed, shook hands with Paul and hugged him.

"Is your Chinese so concise? I feel like you've just said three or four "words" ........"

"It's so magical, you can come and learn Chinese." Yang Di said with a mouth full of trains.

Warriors starters: Byron Davis, Ray Allen, Danny Granger, Jandy and Tyson Chandler.

Hornets starters: Chris Paul, Morris Peterson, Peja Stojakovic, David West, Yi Jian United.

Yi Jianlian was promoted to the No. 5 position, and his height looks about the same height as Tyson Chandler at 2.16m.

Yi Jianlian is very strong, and in the past two years in the league, he has successfully transformed from a thin player with a bamboo pole to an ordinary NBA physique interior who can fight, and he has suffered a little bit against Tyson Chandler in terms of weight.

So the combination of David West of the Hornets and Yi Jian United is always inferior to the Warriors.

This is also a substantive problem that 90% of NBA teams will encounter when they encounter the Warriors, the Warriors are not twin towers, but the interior combination is very scary, one offense and one defense, complementing each other.

Tyson Chandler and Ekinlink stood in the middle circle.

The atmosphere between the two teams is good, they have never played each other in the playoffs before, and the core players of the team are all friends, and the Hornets themselves put themselves in a lower position, challenging the defending champions as a grind on the road ahead.

"Toot ~"

A whistle blew, and Yi Jianlian and Chandler jumped together.

Yi Jianlian's bounce is amazing, his arm span is also very good, and under his full attention, he is even a little faster than Chandler and is the first to touch the basketball.

The Hornets first offense.

There was no one to start, except for shooting guard Maurice Peterson who was slightly unfamiliar.

Morris Peterson is 2.01 meters tall, a swingman who plays as a swingman, was selected by the Raptors when he was the 21st pick in the first round in 00, and has been developing with the Raptors for several years, until the summer before this season, when he came to New Orleans. In the regular season this season, Peterson averaged 8 points and 2.7 rebounds per game while shooting 39.4 percent from three-point range.

Paul controlled the ball in the front court, and the scene sounded a uniform roar of "defense, defense".

The momentum was monstrous, like a stormy wave, directly hitting the hearts of the Hornets players.

The players of the Hornets changed color slightly, and Paul, Yi Jian United and David West, who were experiencing the playoffs for the first time, inexplicably felt a sense of nervousness.

From the diffuse that disappeared before the game, to now, it has suddenly emerged.

The Warriors bullied Byron Davis, a former Hornets star, to expand their defense, and went straight to Paul to reach for the ball.

Paul hit the ground to David West, who received the ball in the elbow area, and West saw the inside of the Yi Jian United air cut and wanted to give a second pass to the ground.

But he was still a little nervous, and as soon as he made a movement in his hand, he exposed himself.

Yang Di was quick-eyed, reached out and took it directly, destroyed David West's pass, and snatched the ball in the direct confrontation.

The other players of the Warriors are all veterans who have been honed in the playoffs, and they have not changed their colors in all aspects, and the moment they saw Yang Di cut the ball, Byron Davis and Ray Allen rushed out in an instant.

There is no sense of defenders to control the ball, and the reaction speed is faster than Paul.

Paul and Peterson reacted, Byron had already rushed to the front, and after Yang Di dribbled, he put his hands together on the basketball and flicked it gently.

The basketball spun in the air, across the half-court, and into the hands of Byron Davis.

At this time, the closest to Byron was actually Ray Allen, and the Hornets looked at Byron Davis in amazement, dribbled two steps with low hands, and then took off.

The body in the air stretches out, and although there is no flat frame, there is enough space to stagnate.

Glide over the obvious distance, hold the basketball high with one hand, and press down on the split!

"Bang!"

Byron dunked the ball into the basket and shook his beard twice when he landed.

The Warriors fans who had been ready for the scene for a long time held their breath, and as the bearded dunk was successful, they immediately raised their arms, spit out the breath they were holding, and let out cheers.

The cheers resounded throughout the arena and spread to the outside, proving Auckland's cohesion under this night sky.
