Chapter 197 The 11th triple-double of the season, the second in NBA history
After playing the Bulls, the Knicks also have two days of rest.
After the All-Star Game, Lian Dao's popularity in New York reached a new level. 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 will even enthusiastically pull Lian Dao.
Dao took a group photo and asked for autographs.
This scared Lian Dao to the point where he didn’t dare to go out. During this period, Lian Dao’s first pair of signature sneakers, LD-1, were also selling like hotcakes, especially his epic dunk at the Dunk Contest, which directly boosted the global sales of LD-1.
All of Lian Dao's slam dunk posters at the slam dunk conference, and the LD-1 limited edition sneakers shined with dazzling brilliance. In the second-hand market, the LD-1 limited edition sneakers fetched sky-high prices.
Even Anta's sales department drooled 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 the limited edition of LD-1 is restarted, although there will be 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 it releases limited-edition sneakers in the future, many fans will no longer buy it.
Anta will not do anything like killing the goose that lays the eggs.
After the All-Star Game, Anta also signed an affiliate contract with Lian Dao, which is a profit sharing contract.
50% share of sneaker profits.
The sales of LD-1 have reached US$600 million and are still growing rapidly.
Judging from the current momentum, by the end of 2010, there is no problem that Liandao can get a share of US$50 million, or even more.
With a share of US$50 million in a single year, Lian Dao estimates that no player in the league can reach this amount of sneaker revenue except Jordan and AJ.
In 2018, AJ Jordan's sales were 2.1 billion, and Jordan received a dividend of 100 million US dollars.
But you have to remember that was 2018 and now it is 2010.
…
February 18, 2010 was the last day of the trade deadline, and many teams also started crazy trading on this day.
The Rockets also put their star player Tracy McGrady on the shelf. In fact, they had put it on the shelf a long time ago, but the asking price was too high and the transaction was never completed.
It's the same this time. They wanted to trade with the Knicks, and the price they wanted was Gallinari and a 2011 first-round pick, but the Knicks didn't agree.
The Knicks have Lian Dao, and they no longer 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 high prices, so the Knicks gave up on all big moves on trade day.
But other teams were very lively on this day.
The Milwaukee Bucks traded Francisco Ersson and Judy Meeks to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Primoz Brezek, Royal Eway and a 2010 second-round draft pick.
The Memphis Grizzlies traded their 2011 first-round pick to the Utah Jazz for Ronny Brewer.
The Sacramento Kings traded their 2010 second-round draft pick to the Washington Wizards for Dominic McGwire and cash. A conditional 2010 second-overall draft pick.
The Charlotte Bobcats traded Asifa, Ronald Murray and a 2014 1st-round draft pick to the Chicago Bulls for Tyrus Thomas.
The Charlotte Bobcats traded their 2016 second-round pick to the San Antonio Spurs for Theo Ratliff.
The Chicago Bulls traded John Salmons, a 2010 1st-round pick, a 2011 2nd-round pick and a 2012 2nd-round pick to the Milwaukee Bucks for Joe Alexander, Hakeem
Warwick and a 2010 first-round pick.
The Chicago Bulls also want to compete 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 ball rights with the 76ers and his performance plummeted. Marcus Rand
Li even showed his "one-on-one" demeanor as a substitute.
The Boston Celtics traded J.R. Giddens, Eddie House, Henry Walker and a 2014 second-round pick to the 76ers for Marcus Landry and Nate Robinson.
I can only say that the previous trade with the Knicks was a lonely one for the 76ers. It can be said that they lost both their wife and their soldiers.
…
On February 20, the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Knicks at home.
Although Lian Dao performed brilliantly in this game, scoring 37 points, 7 assists and 8 rebounds, the Thunder also performed brilliantly, and all three of the Thunder's young players performed well.
Especially Harden, since this guy was given a lesson by Lian Dao for a foul last time, he has been studying hard since he returned to the training hall, and he also got some practical tests in the Thunder's previous games.
This time when the Thunder played against the Knicks, he also used it, constantly attacking the inside and causing Millsap to foul.
Millsap almost didn't get punched and kicked, but luckily Lian Dao stopped him in time, otherwise Harden would probably have blood splattered in Madison Square Garden.
Millsap also received his sixth foul honorably and left the game honorably.
Harden was both scared and excited. After Lian Dao came on the court, Harden's ability to draw fouls was no longer so useful. However, the Knicks, who lost one of their generals, still lost to the Thunder. In the end, the Thunder ended up with 119:
115 defeated the Knicks.
The three Thunder young men scored a combined 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 Bucks' biggest sufferer. Whenever they play against the Bucks, Lian Dao is particularly excited, constantly attacking the inside and causing damage.
Holiday was more comfortable defending Jennings. 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 Big O's 24 triple-doubles in ancient times.
But Lian Dao's current triple-double ranks second in the league in NBA history.
The media also extensively reported on Lian Dao's 11 triple-doubles. You must know that this is not like the era of later generations, when double-doubles were as numerous as dogs and triple-doubles were everywhere.
Nowadays, the value of triple-doubles is very high. James averages only 5-6 triple-doubles in a season, while Lian Dao has already scored 11 triple-doubles before the game is finished this season.
Moreover, when Lian Dao gets a triple-double, the team's victory index is as high as 80%, and the games that usually get a triple-double are the Knicks versus playoff teams like the Heat and Cavaliers.
This shows that Lian Dao's triple-double record is not just a brush, but a real result of his strength.
On February 23, the Knicks lost back-to-back to the Celtics. The Big Three were really not something the Knicks could defeat now, especially since the Knicks' inside line was almost crushed by Garnett and Mir.
Sapp and David Lee couldn't contain Garnett at all.
Rasheed Wallace even performed what is called veteran glory, directly playing Milicic into the palm of his hand.
At the end of the third quarter, D'Antoni announced that he would give up the game. The score behind was really too big and there was no need to continue playing.
The game ended at 93:108, with the Knicks trailing by 15 points.
After this game, the Knicks defeated the Washington Wizards in an away game three days later on February 26. The Washington Wizards, who had entered a bad mode, were no match for the Knicks. In this game, Lian Dao clocked in at halftime again, which was relaxing and comfortable.
But the next 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 on 3 of 15 shots and only got 8 points and 10 rebounds in the game. Marc Gasso
Er 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. No two players guarded Lian Dao in the whole game, and the other members of the Knicks didn't feel very good either.
Chandler, in particular, had the most opportunities. His shooting percentage in this game was only higher than Millsap's, shooting 6 of 16, a 33% shooting rate, and even 1 of 5 three-pointers.
Wilson Chandler scored 13 points in the game, which is a lot. You must know that he had the most open opportunities in the game, and Lian Dao would accurately pass the ball to his hands every time in the first three quarters.
Unfortunately, Chandler failed to turn Lian Dao's pass into an assist.
