After playing the Bulls, the Knicks also had two days of rest.
After the All-Star Game, Lian Dao's popularity in New York has reached a new height. It can be said that as long as Lian Dao goes out, no matter how he disguises himself, New York fans will recognize Lian Dao, and many fans are even more enthusiastic. Rice took a group photo and asked for an autograph.
This scared Lian Dao from going out. During this time, Lian Dao's first pair of signature sneakers, LD-1, were also selling very well, especially the epic dunk at the dunk conference, which directly led to the global sales of LD-1.
All the slam dunk posters of Lian Dao at the slam dunk conference, LD-1 limited-edition sneakers are shining brilliantly in them, and the limited-edition sneakers of LD-1 in the second-hand market are sold at sky-high prices.
Even Anta's sales department was drooling after seeing it, and even wanted to persuade the management to restart the LD-1 limited edition, but Anta's management still did not agree.
If once the limited edition of LD-1 is restarted, although it will form a short-term popularity, it will also cause the price of the limited edition of LD-1 to drop.
It is more likely to affect Anta's reputation. If there are limited edition sneakers released in the future, many fans will no longer buy it.
Anta will not do the killing of chickens and eggs.
After the All-Star Conference ended, Anta also signed a subsidiary contract with Lian Dao, that is, a profit-sharing contract.
50% of sneaker profit sharing.
The sales of LD-1 has reached 600 million US dollars, and it is still growing rapidly.
According to the current momentum, by the end of 2010, it is not a problem for Lian Dao to get a share of 50 million US dollars, and it may even be more.
With a share of 50 million US dollars in a single year, Lian Dao estimates that apart from Jordan's AJ, no player in the league can achieve this amount of sneaker revenue.
In 2018, AJ Jordan's sales were 2.1 billion, and Jordan received a dividend of 100 million US dollars.
You must know that it was 2018, and now it is 2010.
On February 18, 2010, the last day of the trade deadline, many teams also started trading frantically on this day.
The Rockets also put their head star Tracy McGrady on the shelves. In fact, they have put them on the shelves a long time ago, but the asking price is too high and the transaction has not been completed.
It's the same this time. They wanted to trade with the Knicks. The asking price was Gallinari and the 2011 first-round pick, but the Knicks didn't agree.
The Knicks have Lian Dao, and they don't want to bet on Tracy McGrady.
Originally, the Knicks wanted to take this opportunity to find a good inside player.
But some teams asked for too much, and the Knicks gave up all the big moves on the trading day.
But other teams were very lively on this day.
The Milwaukee Bucks traded Francisco Elson and Judy Meeks to the Philadelphia 76ers for Primoz Brezek, Royal Ivey and a 2010 2nd round pick.
The Memphis Grizzlies traded a 2011 first-round pick to the Utah Jazz for Ronnie Brewer.
The Sacramento Kings traded a 2010 2nd round pick to the Washington Wizards for Dominic McGuire and cash. Conditional 2010 No. 2 overall pick.
The Charlotte Bobcats traded Asifa, Ronald Murray and a 2014 first-round pick to the Chicago Bulls for Tyrus Thomas.
The Charlotte Bobcats traded a 2016 2nd round pick to the San Antonio Spurs for Theo Ratliff.
Chicago Bulls trade John Salmons, 2010 1st round pick, 2011 2nd round pick and 2012 2nd round pick to Milwaukee Bucks for Joe Alexander, Hakeem Warwick and a 2010 first-round pick.
The Chicago Bulls also want to fight in the playoffs.
It is worth mentioning that Nate Robinson also came to the Celtics again. After the Knicks traded him to the 76ers, he did not have much possession in the 76ers, and his performance also plummeted. Marcus Landry even showed his "independent" demeanor on the bench.
The Boston Celtics traded JR Giddens Eddie House, Henry Walker and a 2014 second-round pick to the 76ers for Marcus Landry and Nate Robinson.
It can only be said that in the previous deal with the Knicks, the 76ers played a lonely game. It can be said that they lost their wife and lost their soldiers.
On February 20, the Oklamaho Thunder defeated the Knicks at home.
Although Lian Dao performed bravely in this game, scoring 37 points, 7 assists and 8 rebounds, the Thunder also performed bravely, and all three Thunder players played well.
Especially Harden, since he was educated by Lian Dao's foul last time, he returned to the training hall and continued to study with great concentration. He also got a certain amount of actual combat test in the Thunder's previous game.
This time when the Thunder played against the Knicks, he also took it out, constantly attacking the inside and making Millsap's fouls.
Millsap, who was almost unimpressed, kicked and punched, but fortunately, Lian Dao stopped him in time, otherwise Harden would probably splatter Madison Square Garden with blood.
And Millsap also honorably received his sixth foul and left the field honorably.
Harden was both scared and excited. After Lian Dao came on the court, Harden's foul drawing was no longer so useful. However, the Knicks, who lost a general, eventually lost to the Thunder. In the end, the Thunder won 119: 115 over the Knicks.
The three Thunder players scored 82 points in this game. Durant was limited to 24 points by Lian Dao, but James Harden scored 31 points. Westbrook also played bravely in this game and scored 27 points. .
On February 22, the Knicks once again defeated the Milwaukee Bucks at home. The Knicks have now become the biggest sufferer for the Bucks. Whenever they play against the Bucks, Lian Dao is extremely excited, constantly attacking the inside and causing damage.
And Holiday was even more comfortable with Jennings' defense. Jennings made 6 of 23 shots and scored 14 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.
Lian Dao once again scored 32 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists in this game.
Lian Dao also got his 11th triple-double this season, second only to the 24 triple-doubles of the Big O in ancient times.
But Lian Dao's current triple-double can also rank second in the league in the history of the NBA.
The media also made extensive reports on Lian Dao's 11 triple-doubles. You must know that now is not like the later era, when double-doubles are as many as dogs, and triple-doubles are everywhere.
The gold content of triple-doubles is very high now. James has an average of 5-6 triple-doubles in a season, while Lian Dao has won 11 triple-doubles before the end of the season.
Moreover, when Lian Dao got a triple-double, the team's victory index was as high as 80%, and the games that usually get a triple-double are the Knicks against the Heat, the Cavaliers and other playoff teams.
This shows that Lian Dao's triple-double record is not a brush, but a real strength.
On February 23, the Knicks lost back-to-back to the Celtics. Seriously, the Big Three is really not something that the Knicks can defeat now, especially the Knicks' inside line is almost smashed by Garnett. Sapp and David Lee couldn't restrain Garnett at all~www.mtlnovel.com~ Rasheed Wallace even staged what is called veteran glory, directly playing Milicic in the palm of his hand.
At the end of the third quarter, D'Antoni announced that he was giving up the game. It was really a bit behind and there was no need to continue playing.
The game ended at 93:108, and the Knicks ended the game trailing by 15 points.
After the game, the Knicks defeated the Washington Wizards in an away game on February 26 three days later. The Washington Wizards, who had entered the bad mode, were not the Knicks' opponents at all.
But on the second day, in the game against the Memphis Grizzlies on February 27, the Knicks overturned again.
The Grizzlies' offense is not very good, but their defense is really strong. This game is a defensive battle between the two sides.
The reason why the Knicks lost was because of the inside. Zach Randolph, who came to the Grizzlies and became an "inside gangster", defended Millsap with 3 of 15 shots and only scored 8 points and 10 rebounds. Marc Gaso Hall scored 8 points in a row in the fourth quarter to help the Grizzlies open the score.
Lian Dao was taken care of by the Grizzlies in this game. The players who defended Lian Dao did not play two players in the whole game, and the other members of the Knicks did not feel very good.
Especially Chandler, who had the most chances, only had a higher shooting percentage than Millsap in this game. He made 6 of 16 shots, 33% of his shots, and 1 of 5 three-pointers.
Wilson Chandler scored 13 points in the whole game, which is a lot. You must know that he had the most open opportunities in the game, and in the first three quarters, Lian Dao would pass the ball to him accurately every time.
Unfortunately, Chandler did not turn Lian Dao's pass into an assist.
