In the paper "Normal Subgroups in the Cremona Group", it is stated that the induced isometry $f_{\ast}$ of $f\in J_d$, where $J_d$ denote the set of Jonquières transformations of degree $d$, satisfies the equation $$f_\ast [H]=d[H] - (d-1)[E_{p_0}] -\sum_{i=1}^{2d-2}[E_{p_i}]$$ I understand the part where they say that $f$ has a base point $p_0$ of multiplicity $d-1$ and $2d-2$ distinct points of multiplicity 1 each. However I do not understand how they derived the above action of $f_\ast$ on the line $[H]$ lying in the (completed) Picard-Manin Space. Would be grateful if anyone points me in the correct direction! Thank you.

Action of birational map $f$ on the divisor class of line $[H]$
