The media speculation made Knicks general manager Donnie Wash wonder. Are they just some routine trading operations?
If it's different, it's that these players were all suggested by Lian Dao.
"Could it be that this is the mysterious power of the East?" Downey guessed secretly.
In the past two years, in order to make friends with Lian Dao, he had also been exposed to some Eastern culture, especially some mysterious Eastern legends, which fascinated Downey.
At this time, he couldn't help but get involved.
"Sure enough, Chinese Kung Fu is just the tip of the iceberg of the mysterious power of the East. What is even more powerful is the unknown power!"
By this time, Downey had completely believed that Lian Dao knew some Eastern metaphysics.
And this incident also cast a veil of mystery over Lian Dao.
…
After the press conference, Lian Dao first went back to the locker room and then went to the physical therapy room.
Since the Knicks introduced liquid nitrogen freezing chambers for athletes, many players like to stay in it for 2-3 minutes after playing games or training.
And many players also like to get a physical therapy massage after the game, which is very helpful to relax their muscles and relieve muscle spasms.
"Jeremy, Jimmy, Hassan, Chuck, this is for you."
Lian Dao said and put four pairs of shoes on the table in the physical therapy room.
These are four pairs of limited edition "LD-2", which are currently out of print. Anta only has a very small number of them left, just for some interpersonal exchanges and promotional gifts.
This pair of shoes is already very rare even in the second-hand market. The main reason is that the release season of "LD-2" coincided with Lian Dao winning the MVP, championship and FMVP. Many fans and collectors think this pair of shoes is more memorable.
significance.
The price of this pair of shoes in the second-hand market is also rising, and Lian Dao also transferred it from Anta to his private collection this time.
The other Knicks players behaved relatively normally. Only Jeremy Lin and the other four looked shocked. They knew the value of this pair of shoes now.
"This...this is too expensive!"
Jeremy Lin actually wanted it, but as he said, this gift was a bit too expensive.
"This is the reward I give you. They have basically received it before you came here. I hope you can continue to perform as well as you did today!"
Lian Dao said directly.
Other teammates nearby also nodded in recognition.
"Sickle is the best boss, just accept him and play hard in the future, as a reward for him!"
Millsap patted Jimmy Butler on the shoulder and said.
Their goal this season is also to defend the championship. In order to defend the title, the integration of team members and appropriate motivation are also very important.
"Then we'll accept it!"
Jeremy Lin no longer refused at this time. The key is that he really wanted it. When he asked Lian Dao for an autograph, he also got a pair of "LD-2", but it was just a regular model, and Jeremy Lin did not grab the limited edition.
.
Moreover, these four pairs of shoes have Lian Dao's autograph on them. If these were placed on the second-hand market, it would directly cause a stir.
To say that the most popular star this season is definitely Lian Dao. Regardless of whether you like basketball or not, everyone has heard of Lian Dao's name.
What followed was that the prices of limited-edition peripheral products previously released by Liandao skyrocketed, and those with signatures were even more expensive and unavailable.
As for the "LD-1" previously released by Anta, even the regular models are out of print and no longer in production, and the limited editions have doubled in value on second-hand stores.
…
After defeating the Bobcats by a big score, the Knicks gradually returned to their best form. Although the consecutive back-to-back games were tiring, as D'Antoni increased the rotation, the Knicks did not suffer any injuries in the future.
Their opponents in the last eight games are the Philadelphia 76ers, Memphis Grizzlies, Oklahoma City Thunder, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns, Milwaukee Bucks, Denver Nuggets, and Charlotte Bobcats.
The strongest among these eight teams should be the Oklahoma City Thunder, followed by the Memphis Grizzlies, Orlando Magic and Philadelphia 76ers.
The great advantage of the Eastern Conference teams is that they are not like a Shura field like the Western Conference.
It is much easier for teams in the Eastern Conference to have a good record than in the Western Conference.
Lamar Odom, who historically should have gone to the Mavericks, was traded to the 76ers by the Lakers.
In the strength evaluation before the start of the season, it was also due to the addition of Odom that he was rated as the second tier.
The current lineup of the 76ers is still very good.
Lou Williams Andre Ingotala Lamar Odom Elton Brand!
After this lineup is released, there will be no problem ranking in the second tier of the Eastern Conference.
But the premise is that Lamar Odom can perform like he did with the Lakers.
Unfortunately, he was still the best 6th man the year before, but his condition plummeted after coming to the 76ers. It was a cliff-like decline. Perhaps from the moment he was traded, his great love for basketball had disappeared.
In fact, Odom didn't have much love for basketball, and he just regarded it as a profession.
Even in those glorious seasons in Los Angeles, he was not 100% dedicated to playing, and occasionally took his wife Kardashian to participate in a reality show or something.
But in a metropolis like Los Angeles, for a player like Odom, in addition to being able to join a strong team and win a championship, the more important thing is that this city can provide him with a place where he can make money and win fame and fortune.
So after Odom married Kardashian, he not only thrived in the NBA, but also found a place in the entertainment industry and other fields.
In Los Angeles, no matter whether the team wins or loses, Odom is generally a happy Odom.
As for Philadelphia, although it can't be called a place where birds don't shit, compared to the neon lights of Los Angeles, the gap between Philadelphia is not even a little bit.
From the star-studded Los Angeles to the unknown Philadelphia, one can imagine Odom's psychological gap.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And the most important point is that although he did not work 100% in Los Angeles, he was at least diligent and diligent. In order to win the championship, he
Willing to be the sixth person.
Moreover, in Odom's heart, he feels that the Lakers will never leave him.
He has become deeply dependent on this team and this city.
Odom has entrusted everything he has to this city. He has bought a house here, opened a record company, and purchased his own property. He has regarded Los Angeles and even the Lakers as his home.
However, in a sudden move, the Lakers moved him from the West Coast to the East Coast of the United States for a mere 9 million trade exception. The two places were thousands of miles apart.
Maybe even when he got on the plane to Philadelphia, he still didn't understand why the Lakers abandoned him.
After arriving in Philadelphia, no matter how the 76ers coaches, players, and management communicated with him, he still didn't understand why the Lakers didn't want him?
What will he do next?
What to do with your own family and other careers?
Therefore, since the start of the game, all fans have seen is a depressed and depressed Odom.
Moreover, when Odom came to Philadelphia, he and his wife Kardashian had marital problems, which made Odom even more depressed. It can be said that he no longer had any intention to play, and he used alcohol and hallucinations to numb himself all day long.
In the five games Odom played, the 76ers only won one. In these five games, Odom's highest score was only 7 points.
The current record of the 76ers is 3 wins and 6 losses.
In history, the 76ers without Odom started the game with a record of 7 wins and 2 losses.
Although the team's record is not very good, the current 76ers have not given up on Odom. After all, Odom's talent is not bad, especially last season he averaged 14.0 points per game.
The 76ers' management and head coach Doug Collins believe that Odom will integrate into the team as the game and time goes by.
It's possible that Odom will really integrate into the team over time, but definitely not in the game against the Knicks.
In this game, the 76ers once again faced a big defeat.
The 76ers conducted targeted defense against Lian Dao. They suffered a big loss in the playoffs last season.
They met again this season and they were 200% vigilant.
Especially Yingodala. Yingodala, who was already very strong, has become even stronger after not seeing him in the off-season. His arms and chest are full of lumps of meat. He really looks like a calf. His body feels thicker and a bit sluggish.
