"Actually, it stands to reason that the Cavaliers are a little better than the Warriors. When the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" broadcast TV, "Magic" Elvin Johnson, who was the guest of honor, said, "The Warriors' perimeter defense is too weak, and it looks like paper paste in front of James, who is physically strong and well-rounded." ”

"James' breakthrough ability is definitely underrated, and his all-round ability is unmatched." Johnson "The Magic" is full of praise for James and is unwavering in his belief that James will lead the Cavaliers out of trouble.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers really did what Johnson said and began to strengthen their outside breakouts.

James no longer fell to the low post, but directly and more simply made a strong appearance frame, and did not rely too much on blocking and dismantling cooperation, because Yang Di's anti-blocking and dismantling ability was too strong.

Richardson suddenly exclaimed, James who had just turned 20 was like a humanoid monster, rampage, not only with amazing speed, but also with muscles like rocks, amazing power.

James drew fouls from Fisher and Richardson, and the Cavaliers immediately drew four fouls, making it even more difficult for the Warriors to defend.

At 6 minutes and 38 seconds, Yang Di slapped Snow's layup and was blown to interfere with the ball.

Yang Di stretched out his hands, and his brows were furrowed together: "It's really fake, is there any interference with this ball?" He couldn't believe it, with his bounce and reach, there was no reason why it would be a jamming ball.

He stepped back and looked up at the replay on the big screen.

The fans in the Oakland arena burst into boos, thinking that the referee must have blown the unfair penalty and that the goal should have been a good one.

Such boos obviously put some pressure on the referee, and in this round of offense, James pushed Richardson and was whistled for an offensive foul.

Suddenly, the fans cheered with satisfaction, and no one shouted the black whistle in unison anymore.

The Warriors attacked, at this time the first quarter was just over halfway through, and Yang Di scored a total of 8 points in the first half, leading the Warriors to a 17-11 lead by 6 points on 4-of-4 shooting.

After that, Murphy suddenly stepped up.

The Cavaliers assisted in defending Yang Di's offense, and when Yang Di attacked on his own, or James or Newbell, there was always an outside line harassing him around him. The offensive pressure on his side has increased, Murphy is relatively relaxed, and Drew Gooden is the kind of person who has more than enough strength on the defensive end, and he is even more like a fish in water.

During this time, Murphy made a mid-range shot and hit a three-pointer from the outside to help the Warriors expand the score again.

Cavaliers head coach Paul Silas can only interrupt the rhythm of the game with another timeout.

......

Yang Di has steadily become the hottest star insider in the league, with all kinds of endorsements uninvited, and his value is rising steadily, almost every day.

In this regard, Yang Di, who is about to face a contract extension, encountered the embarrassing thing that the Golden State Warriors encountered in the previous two years.

In the general manager's office, Chris Mullin and Bill Duffy are smiling like two old foxes, and although the office is full of tea, there is a vague fierce exchange in the words.

"It's true that Yang Di is a very good player, but please don't forget who brought Yang Di to Oakland in the first place, and the Golden State Warriors gave him the opportunity to show himself, and he can't be too complacent." Chris Mullin is obviously a little angry, even if he admires Yang Di very much, but in the direction of renewing the player's contract, he still grasps the overall degree of the Warriors, and if he can try to get a little favor, he will fight for a little more.

Bill Duffy spread his hands, and he was in a good position to negotiate a contract extension.

"Yes, you're right, Chris. But as an agent, of course, I am seeking better interests for the player, in fact, a high-income salary represents a player's achievements and recognition in the NBA, and I think that with Yang Di's performance now far exceeding Gilbert Arenas's performance, a contract that is no less than his is taken for granted. ”

"But how do we renew the contracts of Jason, Michael, and others?"

"No, no, no," Bill Duffy said with a smile, "I think you're going in the wrong direction, among the three of them, Yang Di has the highest commercial value, isn't it?" ”

Bill Duffy follows the rules: "The NBA has always been committed to exploring the Chinese market, and Yang Di's performance has excited Chinese fans and all Chinese fans. In fact, after Yang Di arrived at the Warriors, the attendance rate in Oakland has been much higher, and there are even title sponsors who want to name the stadium, right? ”

"This is a big market, a walking cash cow, as long as Yang Di's performance continues to be so good, even if he doesn't make any progress, you will make sure you don't lose money!"

Chris Mullin immediately calculated that the league's hard salary cap this season is $43.87 million, the soft salary cap is $50.26 million, and the total salary of the Warriors' team players has reached $51.96 million.

Excluding the $10.07 million from Dale Davis, whose salary is due, the mid-class signing of Yang Di is enough. The only thing that is uncertain is what the league's salary cap will be next season, anyway, it will not be lower than this year, according to the poison signing law of the highest salary from the distance stipulated in the Arenas clause, it still can't give Yang Di a big contract, and it is estimated that 10 million is enough.

"I hate 1+1 contracts." Mullin muttered that he could only hope that the league would pull the salary cap up a bit next season.

.......

In the second half of the game between the Warriors and the Cavaliers, the Warriors took the lead.

Mainly relying on the joint play of multiple players, Yang Di was the first to score a double-double, and then Richardson and Fisher, the three of them scored 41 points together at halftime, helping the Warriors lead the Cavaliers by 9 points 57-48.

The Cavaliers had physical problems and suffered a bit in the second half.

James' strong point can continue to break through the ball, but other players can't score the ball well, and after Big Z turns and hooks a goal, he becomes the second person in the Cavaliers to score a double-double.

"Huh!"

At 7:19 of the third quarter, Mike Dunleavy stepped back and scored two points to become the fourth Warriors to score in double figures.

Then there's Murphy, who made both free throws from the free-throw line and became the fifth Warriors starting five to score in double figures.

At the end of the third quarter, Yang Di grabbed the tenth rebound and got a double-double.

James sighed helplessly, he had 25 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists in the overall stats, but the team was about to lose, which was really unpleasant.

He blinked his eyes to Yang Di who was sitting on the sidelines resting, and a trace of heat flashed in his eyes, "If you join forces with Yang Di, the team will definitely rise to a higher level immediately, I will focus on his main defense, and the Heat can handle it if it is not good." ”
