Chapter 186 All-Star Ticket King!
The arrival of Tracy McGrady and Martin greatly increased the Knicks' strength, and they won successive games in the following games. However, the Knicks averaged 76 points per game, lost 112 points per game, and beat opponents by 99.5 points per game. In early February, the Knicks rose to fifth in the Eastern Conference. It's too fast!

In January, Gatsby averaged 30.5 points, 12.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists per game. He won the best player in the East again. In February, the results of the second round of All-Star voting came out. LeBron James had a strong stamina and surpassed Kobe Bryant. But Gatsby's strong performance in January made his number of votes soar, becoming the 2 All-Star vote leader with 617 votes, and LeBron James came in second with a total of 812 votes. Kobe Bryant was third with 2010.

NBA officials also announced the Eastern and Western All-Star rosters.

Eastern starting lineup is: Gatsby, Dwyane - Wade, LeBron - James, Kevin - Garnett, Dwight - Howard.

The bench lineup includes: Allen Iverson, Rajon Rondo, Derrick Rose, Paul Pierce, Tracy McGrady, Chris Bosh, Al Horford, Andrew Bogut.

The head coach is D'Antoni.

This list has changed from the previous one. Because of Gatsby's emergence, James, who was originally the top vote-getter, could only settle for second place.

And Allen Iverson was originally the starting guard in the Eastern Conference, but now he can only go to the bench.

Joe Johnson originally entered the bench lineup because of the Eagles' outstanding record, but now he can only miss the All-Star.

And McGrady played a very good performance in January because of his partner with Gatsby. His fan base is still very large. With his excellent performance, there are many fans who are willing to vote, squeezing out Gerald Wallace. Shi's opportunity to enter the substitute lineup.

And Andrew Bogut's entry into the All-Star bench is a surprise. After Bogut arrived in the Knicks, because he formed a headache pick-and-roll combination with Gatsby, he escorted Gatsby. The fans of Beagle lifted him into the All-Star Game.

And David Lee, who was originally an All-Star substitute, lost his original brilliance and fell out of the All-Star because of the arrival of Chandler and Bogut.

The original head coach was Stan Van Gundy of the Orlando Magic, but because of the improvement of the Knicks' record, D'Antoni replaced him and became the All-Star head coach.

There is no change in the West. The starters are still Stephen Nash, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, Tim Duncan, and Amare Stoudemire.

The bench lineup is Chauncey Billups, Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, Brandon Roy, Deron Williams, Kevin Durant, Dirk Nowitzki, Zach Randolph, Pau Gasol, Chris Kaman.

The head coach is George Karl.

Gatsby entered the All-Star starting lineup as the top voter, shocking the entire league. The last person to do this was Grant Hill. Hill's popularity is inseparable from his own excellence. As brutal as he should be, his basketball talent, physical talent, perfect technique, and elegant style of play are enough to allow him to dominate the court on both offense and defense.But off the court, he has a gentle and refined side, and with his handsome appearance, he has attracted countless fans. At that time, there was a saying in the market: mothers all over the United States want to marry their daughters to him!
But there are some reasons why Grant Hill could become the All-Star vote leader in his rookie season, because Grant Hill was launched by the league as the successor of the Flyers to make up for the departure of Michael Jordan. The league vigorously built momentum for Grant Hill and went all out. He created an idol, so no rookie can become the All-Star vote-winner in the future. History cannot be replicated.

But Gatsby did it, and Gatsby was elected as the All-Star vote king for his special reasons:

First of all, the team he plays in is one of the top markets in the league, which is a fact that has shocked many young people;

Secondly, he is of Chinese descent, which is a unique advantage. Gatsby’s pro-China remarks have given him the support of the entire country;
Again, his special experience has allowed him to have a huge fan base, and girls who chase stars are crazy;

In the end is Gatsby's own strength, but in the history of the league, there are not ten or eight rookie seasons with this strength, Chamberlain, Robertson, Pettit, Baylor, Barry, Unseld, Larry Bird , Duncan, etc. are either far superior to Gatsby, or equal to or slightly inferior, this is not the fundamental reason.

Gatsby's miracle was created for various reasons!

Yes, this is a word that all media will use together. Being able to become the second rookie in history to become the All-Star vote leader in his rookie season can definitely be described as a miracle!

For a while, Gatsby became the biggest buzzword in the NBA, and it also became the hottest topic in North America. Everyone's conversation will inevitably involve Gatsby, as if not talking about Gatsby seems to be out of date.

With the help of such a rise in fame, Gatesbi's long-cherished endorsement of sneakers finally came to his door, and there were only a few of them, Nike, Adidas and Under Armour, who signed Stephen Curry in the future.

Li Wanyu asked Gatsby for his opinion, and Gatsby asked, "What conditions did they give?"

Li Wanyu said: "Nike wants to sign with you 5 million for 5000 years, Adidas is 5 million for 6000 years, and Under Armor is the most sincere, it is 10 million for [-] years. This is just the initial offer. Next, I will negotiate with the team one by one. Get them to quote a better price."

Gatsby pondered for a while. The quotations given to him by these brands are not low, but they are not high either. In 15, Harden became a hot player in the league and completed the sneaker cooperation with Nike. Among them The salary is 13 million US dollars in 2 years;
Durant became the MVP of the regular season in 14. This year he signed a 10-year 3 million contract with Nike;
James signed a lifetime contract with Nike in 15. It is reported that the contract is worth more than 10 billion US dollars, which does not include bonuses and other salaries.

These big contracts were all signed when they were at their peak, so the quotations are very high, because they have gone through many seasons of testing, and Nike has recognized their strength.

And although I have played a very amazing performance this season, I haven't reached it for half a season. Although I have seen great potential, who knows what will happen to him next, so the quotations from these manufacturers are relatively Cautiously, the most daring Under Armor only reported 1 million yuan for ten years. I don't know if there are any restrictions.

　Thanks to brother [A Little Evil Heart] for the thousand rewards!thanks thanks!
