NBA villain

Chapter 246
"Actually, according to reason, the Cavaliers are a little stronger than the Warriors." When the TV broadcast was broadcast, "Magic" Johnson, the invited guest, said, "The Warriors' perimeter defense is too weak. In front of James, it's like paper."

"James' breakthrough ability is definitely underestimated, and his comprehensiveness is unmatched." "Magic" Johnson is full of praise for James, and he firmly believes that James will lead the Cavaliers out of the predicament.

After the timeout ended, the Cavaliers really started to strengthen the outside breakthrough as Johnson said.

James no longer falls into the low position, but directly and more simply face-up, and does not rely too much on pick-and-roll coordination, because Yang Di's ability to defend against pick-and-rolls is too strong.

Richardson suddenly yelled that he was overwhelmed. James, who had just turned 20, was like a humanoid monster, rampaging, not only with amazing speed, but also with muscles like rocks, with amazing power.

James caused another foul by Fisher and Richardson, the Cavaliers immediately got four fouls, and the Warriors defense became more difficult.

At 6 minutes and 38 seconds, Yang Di slapped Snow's layup and was called an interference ball.

Yang Di spread his hands and frowned: "Really, is there any interference with this ball?" He couldn't believe it. With his jumping and wingspan, it didn't make sense that it would be an interference ball.

He stepped back to defend, while looking up at the replay on the big screen at the scene.

The fans in the Oakland Arena burst into boos immediately. They felt that the referee must have whistled an unfair penalty. This ball should be a good ball.

Such boos obviously put a certain amount of pressure on the referee. In this round of offense, James pushed Richardson away and was called an offensive foul.

Immediately, the fans cheered happily, and no one shouted black whistle in unison anymore.

勇士进攻，此时第一节比赛时间刚刚过半，上半节杨迪一共得到了8分，4投4中带领勇士17比11领先着骑士6分。

After that, Murphy suddenly stood up.

The Cavaliers help defend Yang Di's attack, and when Yang Di attacks independently, or James, or Newbell, there is always an outside line around him harassing him.The offensive pressure on his side has increased, and Murphy has been relatively relaxed. In addition, Drew Gooden is the kind of person who has more than enough defense but not enough strength, and he is even more comfortable.

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

Cavaliers coach Paul Silas can only use timeouts to interrupt the rhythm of the game.

Yang Di has steadily become the hottest star insider in the league, and various endorsements come uninvited, and his net worth is rising steadily, almost changing every day.

In this regard, Yang Di, who is about to renew his contract, encountered the embarrassment that the Golden State Warriors encountered in the past two years.

In the general manager's office, Chris Mullin and Bill Duffy smiled like two old foxes. Although the office was full of tea, there was a vaguely fierce confrontation in their words.

"It's true that Yang Di is a very good player, but please don't forget who brought Yang Di to Oakland. The Golden State Warriors gave him a chance to show himself. You can't be too complacent." Chris Mu Lin is obviously a little angry. Even though he admires Yang Di very much, he still grasps the overall speed of the Warriors in the direction of renewing the player's contract. If he can try his best to get a little discount, he will try to get more.

Bill Duffy spread his hands, and he is in a favorable position during the contract renewal negotiations.

"That's right, what you said is right, Chris. But as an agent, of course I seek better interests for the players. In fact, a high-income salary represents a player's achievements and recognition in the NBA." , I think that judging from Yang Di’s current performance far surpassing that of Gilbert Arenas, a contract no less than his is a matter of course.”

"But how can 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, doesn't he?"

Bill Duffy: "The NBA has always been committed to developing the Chinese market. Yang Di's performance has inspired Chinese fans and all Chinese fans. In fact, after Yang Di came to the Warriors, the attendance rate in Oakland is already high. A lot, there are even sponsors who want to name the arena, right?"

"This is a big market, a running cash cow. As long as Yang Di continues to perform so well, even if he doesn't make any progress, you will still make money!"

Chris Mullin immediately calculated in his mind. This season, the hard salary cap of the league is 4387 million US dollars, and the soft salary cap is 5026 million US dollars, and the total salary of the Warriors' team players has reached 5196 million US dollars.

Excluding the $1007 million of Dell Davis whose salary is due, the mid-level signing Yang Di is enough.The only thing that is uncertain is the salary cap of the league next season. Anyway, it will not be lower than this year. According to the poison signing method stipulated by the Arenas clause, it is still impossible to give Yang Di a big contract. It is estimated to be 1000 Everything is choking.

"I hate the 1+1 contract." Mullin muttered, and he could only hope that the league would raise the salary cap a bit next season.

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

It mainly relied on the joint performance of multiple players. Yang Di was the first to score in double figures, followed by Richardson and Fisher. The three scored 41 points together in the half, helping the Warriors 57 to 48 Leading the Cavaliers by 9 points.

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

James' strong point can keep breaking through and scoring, but other players can't score the ball very well. After the big Z turned around and scored a goal, he became the second player of the Cavaliers to score in double figures.

"Shh!"

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

Then there was Murphy, who made both free throws at 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 has already scored 25 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, but the team is about to face failure, which is really not happy.

In a blink of an eye, he saw Yang Di who was resting on the sidelines, and his eyes flashed with blazing heat, "If we join hands with Yang Di, the team will definitely rise to a higher level immediately, I will focus on his defense, and the Heat can handle it if they don't. "
