However, with Martin's transfer and team trading, future point guard Marcus Thorton, Evans gave up the team's starting point guard position and was forcibly named "forward guard swingman" by the team.

identity.

What seemed simple decision was a turning point in Evans's career.

Due to his height and weight, Evans's shooting rate was not satisfactory at the front line. Moreover, his unstable shooting and fierce confrontation, Evans' shooting percentage in the second season decreased by 5% compared to his rookie period in the second season.

%, 40%.

In this regard, Evans' data performance has been regressing almost every season, laying the groundwork for the road to "fall".

Due to the irrational arrangement of the management, Evans' knees gradually couldn't hold on after a long and high-intensity confrontation at the No. 3 position, and finally his scarred body finally fell down.

A knee injury caused Evans to never return to his former speed, and the breakthrough that he was proud of gradually became a weak subject.

His later extreme self-discipline, he went to entertainment venues everywhere, and his drunken life as a singer made him gradually lose himself, which also led to his subsequent progress being very weak and gradually being destroyed in the alliance.

...

D'Antoni once again unfortunately passed by the coach of the month. He had a very good chance this month. Although the Knicks had 15 games in December and there were many back-to-back games, but fortunately, it was in December.

The Knicks did not face many strong teams, so they won 12 games.

But I didn't expect the Cavaliers to be too cruel in December and won 14 games directly.

So, Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown was elected the best coach of the Eastern Conference in December.

The Western Conference Coach of the Month is given to the head coach of the Grizzlies, who led the Grizzlies to a record of 9 wins and 4 losses in 13 games in December.

The bear's record has also improved greatly.

The three dark horses in the league are one of the Knicks in the East, and the other two are the Memphis Grizzlies in the West and the Oklahoma City Thunder.

These three teams are all the bottom teams of last season, but they have continued to achieve impressive results this season. The league also named them: Youth Guards League!

The common feature of these three teams is that they are young. The average age of the starting players of the team is around 25 years old. They are motivated and often set off a fast attack storm on the field.

They also made the teams with more veterans such as the Spurs, Celtics, and Suns miserable.

...

On the last day of 2009, Lian Dao also received a surprise.

Anta finally made Lian Dao's first pair of signature sample sneakers.

Before, Anta had communicated with Liandao one after another and listened to some opinions from Liandao.

Lian Dao's first pair of signature sneakers still retains traditional Chinese elements, such as the graphic pattern on the sole of the shoe is made of thunder pattern, and the graphic pattern on the traditional Chinese cloud pattern, etc.

.

In short, this pair of sample shoes is very consistent with the aesthetics of clean rice, which contains some ideas about clean rice.

Lian Dao also decided to use these sneakers as his first pair of signature sneakers.

Liandao's satisfaction also made Anta and the others feel that the efforts during this period are worth it. You should know that a pair of sneakers cannot be completed simply. From designing to creating sample shoes, there will be very cumbersome steps in the middle, selecting materials, opening the board,

Playing the board... Once errors occur in these steps, it is likely to cause all overturns and start over again. The time and energy spent in the middle is very huge.

After the shoes are confirmed, the next is the global press conference.

With the previous experience of this Anta sneaker on Lian Dao’s feet, they also realized the popularity of Lian Dao and its influence.

So they also wanted to hold this press conference as big as possible.

This pair of sneakers will also be the first sneakers in the LD series of sneakers, named: LD-1.

"LD" is the abbreviation of Lian Dao's Chinese pinyin surname.

It is simple and clear, and often the simpler thing is, the deeper it can make people remember.

Anta has also bought a lot of media and newspaper headlines in order to create momentum.

The press conference was scheduled for January 10th. I originally planned to set the time on January 11th, because 1 represents the jersey number that Liandao has been using since the NBA. Anta thinks that January 11th is also the jersey number for Liandao.

a response.

However, the Knicks had a game on January 11, so Anta also set the time to January 10.

Liandao has no special requirements for this, and January 10 is also good. Although it is very memorable as its first sneaker, some things are impossible to be just right, so Liandao did not specifically pursue a date!

From the design to the technology of these sneakers, Lian Dao felt that they could not be picky. He believed that as long as these shoes were released, they would make a splash.

...

In addition to the approaching sneaker press conference, Lian Dao is most concerned about the Knicks' match in January.

The Knicks still had 15 games in January, but compared with December, the Knicks had only two back-to-back games in January, which made the Knicks, who had suffered back-to-back pain before, breathed a sigh of relief.

After entering January, the Knicks lost to the Atlanta Hawks away in their first game of the month. It seemed that the previous two away games were too easy, resulting in the Knicks' full players including Lian when they played against the Atlanta Hawks.

The rice did not recover its state for a while.

The entire game was suppressed by the Atlanta Hawks.

Lian Dao was also taken care of by the Hawks, and was double-teamed throughout the whole game. In this game, he also won the lowest score of 13 points, 11 assists and 6 rebounds since the season.

The reason for the failure is that Lian Dao is not in shape, but also because the opponent is targeted to defend. Although the Knicks defeated the Atlanta Hawks in both previous games.

However, the Hawks are also familiar with Lian Dao's offensive methods, so this game is also a game specially targeted by the Hawks against Lian Dao.

Especially the double-team between small forwards Marvin Williams and Joe Johnson caught Lian Dao off guard. During the game, the Hawks kept strictly guarding against Lian Dao's three-point shooting from the outside.

In this game, Lian Dao's three-pointers were only 1 of 6 shots, and his shooting percentage was terrible.

After this game, the Knicks also ended their away trip and returned to New York.

When everyone thought Lian Dao really encountered the rookie wall this time.

Lian Dao once again broke out in home match against the Indiana Pacers, and in the double-team of the All-Stars Danny Granger and Brandon Rush of the previous year, Lian Dao scored 43 in the game

A quasi-triple double record with 8 points, assists, and 8 rebounds.

But the Knicks lost to the Pacers who came from afar again with 110:108.

Although Lian Dao once again proved with practical actions that the strong have no rookie wall, Lian Dao did not have the joy of getting dazzling data.

Two consecutive losses in January, especially when fighting against the Pacers, although Lian Dao scored 43 points, his shooting percentage was very low. This game exposed many problems. The most important point is that the Knicks are not second stable.

scoring point.

Just when the media was still discussing that Lian Dao scored 40+ but the Knicks lost, in the Knicks' game against the Charlotte Bobcats, Lian Dao scored 46 points, 5 assists and 7 rebounds again.

In addition to Lian Dao, there was another person who shocked everyone in the competition, that is Zhu Holiday.

Zhu Holiday gave the highest assist in the game, with 10 points, 21 assists and 3 steals in the game. He is the second player to assist in the 2009 rookie Lian Dao.

In this game, the Knicks defeated the Charlotte Bobcats with a slight advantage of 103:100 and ended their losing streak.

It is said that after Eddie Jordan, the general manager of the 76ers, saw this game that night, he almost regretted his intestines. He is a future organization master with an offense and defense.

Just let myself trade.

The 76ers' team building has always been a problem. After Iverson left, they hoped to build Yin Godala into Xiao Ai, but Yin Godala is not suitable to become the leader of the team.

He and Iverson are two players. He is a systematic player with low offensive desire but outstanding defense. Yin Godara can become an excellent player, but she will definitely not become an excellent leader.
