There is no doubt that Nike has made a sure deal, and now James has become another powerful signature superstar of Nike in addition to Yang Di.

Yang Di is the second-round pick of the 03rd class, since he entered the league, he has grown up in constant doubts, some people say he can't defend, but he has gradually grown into a first-class rim protector, some people say he will only rush to grab rebounds in the front court, but he has gradually developed a series of offensive means, and now he has even become an offensive player in the interior, and the range has expanded to any place within the three-point line.

In Yang Di's case, Nike's business is even more exemplary of the business case, and now Nike's share is increasing throughout the Asian market.

Warriors vs. Cavaliers, broadcast live across the United States.

Because they were all back-to-back games, Yang Di didn't have time to get together with James, and the two met directly on the field.

James is also the All-Star starting lineup in the East, David Stern has been cultivating him as another representative figure of the league after Jordan, and has received a lot of convenience and publicity, although he is 6 months younger than Yang Di, but he is becoming more and more mature and stable.

When the two met, it was a big hug, James shook hands and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You guys have a better record than all of us, but you just played against the Washington Wizards yesterday, and you were very tired." ”

"yes, we played Gilbert two days ago and he scored 48 points and yesterday he played another game in Indianapolis and it was so tiring back-to-back."

"But in today's game, I'm still going to give it my all." James said solemnly, "I want to play with you with all my strength and see how strong you are and how strong the Warriors are now." ”

"Me too, the Cavaliers are also strong, fourth in the East."

"By the way, in a few days at the Houston All-Star Game, I want to invite you to my party, and I also invited Chris Paul, Dwyane Wade and others, All-Star Weekend, let's relax."

"Okay, no problem." Yang Di agreed, but he thought in his heart, why can't he party again at every turn, American capitalism will still play.

At the start of the game, both sides lined up their starting lineups.

Cavaliers: PG Eric Snow, SG Alexander Pavlovich, SF LeBron James, PF Drew Gooden, C Zajunas Ilgoskas.

Warriors: PG Byron Davis, SG Mike Dunleavy, SF Trevor Ariza, PF Youngdy, C Tyson Chandler.

Montgomery made a lineup change, with young Ariza being mentioned as a starter against LeBron James and moving slowly, and Dunleavy becoming a tall SG against a slightly worse Dunleavy as an outside battery against Pavlovich. Derrick Fisher is back on the bench.

Tyson Chandler returned for this game and jumped to win over Ilgoskas, the first wave of the Warriors' offense.

Yang Di asked for the ball in the low post, stuck with the bald Drew Gooden, and went to a deep position.

Drew Gooden looked fierce, but the defense was a little soft, and the strength was not very strong, Yang Di received the ball and hit it with his back, turned and hooked his hand.

Yang Di's hook hand is not very good, but because he is in the three-second zone and the defensive pressure is not strong, the technical action is perfectly done and he hits easily.

2-0, Yang Di raised his finger and pointed at Davis, signaling that he was wearing it in time.

The Cavaliers attacked, James came out, took a step outside the three-point line to catch the ball, and then held the ball in a three-threat pose.

At this time, James, heads-up breakthroughs occupy a high proportion of his offensive options, facing Ariza's defense, the right foot to the right to test a step, and then immediately step to break through, the speed of the first step is very fast.

The pace was also very big, and it hit Ariza's right side all at once.

Ariza only felt as if he was training in the team, confronting Yang Di's breakthrough, and suddenly let go of his body and let James rush into the three-point line.

"It's too strong!"

Ariza stepped sideways to follow, James dribbled with a low hand, and Yang Di let go of Gooden in front to make up for James.

James hit the ground with a deft point, Ilgoskas received the ball and dunked, and the Cavaliers scored easily to tie the game 2-2.

"Stop!"

Byron Davis shouted loudly, signaling Ariza to concentrate, Ariza nodded solemnly, but there was still no bottom in his heart, James was fast and strong, and the breakthrough was like a bulldozer, like thunder.

On the other side, James is also instructing Drew Gooden.

"Keep your center of gravity lower, pay attention to his back turn, and don't foul easily if he intrudes on the inside."

The Warriors attacked, and Davis beckoned Yang Di to come out and block the pick-and-roll.

Yang Di made a block for Davis, Davis dribbled to the right, Yang Di went down, attracting the attention of a bunch of Cavaliers, Byron Davis single-block cover pull-up jump shot, missed.

The rebound bounced, Gooden desperately resisted Yang Di, and James stretched out his arm and grabbed the rebound.

Turning, James pushed.

The Warriors quickly retreated, and Yang Di followed behind, staring at James.

Outside the three-point line, James dribbled under his crotch, swapped his right hand to his left, and then leaned over and made a wrong step to accelerate through Ariza's left side.

He saw Yang Di who came later, and he didn't dare to shoot under Yang Di's pursuit, so he still chose a ball.

Diverting the ball to the perimeter in a wide area, Snow catches the ball and breaks through with a step, then throws it inside the free throw line.

Yang Di jumped high in the air, feeling that he could almost catch the throw directly.

Snow clearly raised the arc, missed the basketball, and then the rebound was grabbed by Ariza, who protected the ball and passed it to Davis.

In the Warriors' offensive play, there is a modified two-block strategy, with Yang Dee and Dunleavy with projection ability standing on the right side while blocking and picking for Davis.

Byron Davis erupted with one step, brushing over the right side of the two, Dunleavy dismantled and walked out, and Yang Di finished dismantling and cut down.

Davis is now the point of possession and can pass the ball to three places at the same time.

The Cavaliers did an excellent rotation in this defense, with Dunleavy, Yang Di and Ariza all being marked, and Davis made a sharp stop, dribbling the ball under his crotch and standing in place.

Snow's attention was all on Davis, and he was shaken.

Byron took aim at the basket and shot with a slight jump shot into the frame.
