: Seven hundred and nineteen: Great performance in the garden

Madison Square Garden has a profound history that no other arena in the United States has. The history can be traced back to 1879.
The first Madison Square Garden was a stadium with 10,000 seats. It was mainly used as an indoor racing stadium at the time. The stadium was finally closed in 1890. The second Madison Square Garden is an indoor venue with 8,000 seats. At that time, the 1924 Democratic National Conference was also held. The venue was closed in 1924.
The third Madison Square Garden is an urban venue with 18,000 seats, which was closed in 1967. On February 14, 1968, the fourth Madison Square Garden was opened to the public. Now the Knicks are using the fourth generation.
Despite the change of times, the "garden" still holds an indelible position in the hearts of New Yorkers and is considered the facade of New York.
The NBA game became the largest proportion of the games held by the fourth-generation Madison Square Garden, and in 1970, the fourth-generation "Garden" witnessed the Knicks winning the first championship in team history.
In addition, "Garden" is also the first choice for large-scale sports events and concerts in New York besides basketball. For example, in 1971, it hosted the famous "War of the Century" in boxing history-Joe Fraser vs. Muhammad Ali.
Prior to the establishment of the Barclays Center of the Brooklyn Nets, the NBA Draft was held in Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks are indeed very lucky to have such a long-established and popular venue as their home court.
Every night, people come to Madison Square Garden to witness a wonderful game.
Unfortunately, the struggle of the New York Knicks in the 21st century has disappointed New Yorkers from the "garden" again and again.
After the Knicks ushered in Anthony, all New Yorkers thought they had finally waited for their savior.
But after reaching the playoffs as No. 2 in the Eastern Conference last season, this season, the New Yorker was immediately beaten into reality.
Stoudemire's non-existent state, the chaos of the Knicks' internal management, Smith's worse and worse performance, Tyson Chandler's old attitude...
These things have made the Madison Square Garden game bleak.
But even so, today on February 18, the "garden" is still full.
Because after the continuation of the All-Star Game, countless New York fans also hope to witness Link's style with their own eyes!
Madison Square Garden tonight is not just the home of Anthony and the Knicks.
When Link arrived at the gate of Madison Square Garden in the team bus, he found that the huge posters of him and Anthony were hung in the most conspicuous position outside the arena.
I don’t know. I thought it was a boxing match today.
To be honest, Link's desire for revenge for the Knicks is not as strong as for the Thunder. Because the Knicks could not pose a direct threat to the Grizzlies in the playoffs, and there were many chances of their last win.
But Link knew that Anthony, who is now in trouble, would certainly not let go easily. Therefore, Link will be so actively preparing for the game.
He didn't want revenge on the Knicks, but he also didn't want to roll over the Knicks twice.
Before the game started, Spike Lee, a famous black director in New York and also the number one fan of the Knicks, walked into the "garden" and he was stunned.
Because in the stands, many people actually raised Link's head and slogans cheering for Link.
"This is crazy. Is this the home of the Knicks or the Grizzlies!?" Spike Lee was a little angry. He couldn't believe how many New Yorkers would support the visiting team.
No way, the Knicks' performance this season is really disappointing. Many New York fans may not really want to support the Grizzlies, they just want to express their dissatisfaction with the Knicks in this way.
As a Knicks fan, I was so angry when I saw this situation. And as the Knicks star Anthony saw this scene before him, he was even more angry.
As a superstar player, his home fans support the visiting superstar.
For Anthony, this is undoubtedly a humiliation!
But Anthony was not angry, but took a deep breath and let himself sink in.
Indeed, the Knicks need a hearty victory. Their current score of 20 wins and 32 losses is far from the prediction. In the six games the Knicks played since February, they only won one of them.
It would be strange if the fans could forgive such a Knicks.
Anthony sighed. He knew that he could only defeat Link with the calmest mood and best state.
Link is indeed very hot this year, but not invincible. Anthony has confidence, and such confidence is not groundless.
Because just a month ago, on January 25 this year, Carmelo Anthony just broke the record for the highest score in Madison Square Garden with a terrible score of 62 points in a single game!
Previously, this record was created by Kobe, who scored 61 points in 2009. After last month, the highest scoring record of Madison Square Garden finally returned to the Knicks players themselves.
Don't look at the Knicks' bad record this season, but Anthony's numbers are not bad at all. He averaged 27.6 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, shooting 45.2% from the field, and shooting 40.5% from three-pointers!
In terms of personal ability, he is still one of the strongest players in the league.
Therefore, even if Anthony rivals Link, he still has confidence. He doesn't think that he is worse than anyone else.
When warming up today, Anthony was very serious. After seeing Anthony's state, Link was very thankful that he was also actively preparing for the game.
The on-site commentary is still discussing whether Anthony and Link will not be able to recover in time because they just participated in the dunk contest, but in fact, both sides have solved the problem of the state.
Before the game started, Anthony accepted an interview with reporters on the sidelines. As in the All-Star Game, the reporter’s question is also very sharp. "Cameron, it must be said that New York is at stake today! The Grizzlies have an incredible 48 wins and 4 losses. They just won 4 before the All-Star Game. A streak of victories. Compared with the Knicks, the Grizzlies have a luxurious record. Today, are you really confident that you can defend against foreign enemies in the garden?"
The New York reporter is very serious. He used the term "at risk" to describe the situation of the Knicks at this time.
"I don't have anything to say, let's see the result on the field." Anthony said very little today, just answered one sentence and ran to the designated position.
Link glanced at the Knicks' starting lineup, completely unaware of where the Knicks' luxury tax was paid.
With 14 million Chandler this year, he no longer has the ability of the best defensive player.
Anthony had to top the No. 4 position because the Knicks' highest-paid player, Stoudemire, with an annual salary of 21.6 million this season, averaged only 11.9 points and less than 5 rebounds per game.
The three outside lines are Felton, Shumpert and Prigioni. Among the three, no one can average double digits per game...
Does this lineup really need so much luxury tax? Except that the money is too much to spend, Link really can't think of a second reason.
To be honest, the Knicks' paper lineup is really not strong. But Link knew very well that New York was in chaos, and Gua had the final say. Whether the Knicks are strong or not, it is Anthony rather than others.
Link knew that Anthony had just scored 62 points in the Garden a month ago. In the previous three games, Anthony had scored 36, 35 and 31 points respectively.
Anthony is in good shape, he really wants to drag the Knicks into the playoffs. When a player hits fifty or sixty points in a single game, even if you have an advantage on the paper lineup, you may not be able to nibble the game.
Today, the only suspense is whether Anthony will break out. If Anthony can't break out, then getting the Knicks is a no-brainer.
But if Anthony continues to explode, Link must play his All-Star vote.
After the game started, Gasol easily grabbed the first strike on Chandler~EbookFREE.me~ Chandler seemed to have lost a lot of athletic ability, which was not comparable to 2011.
The Grizzlies attacked first, Randolph took the lead. He believes he has a natural tonnage and strength advantage against Anthony.
Today, however, Anthony did not fight back on the defensive end. He first withstood Randolph's powerful impact, and then at the moment when Randolph's rhythm was chaotic, he coldly dropped and cut the ball!
At the beginning of the game, Anthony showed a different side to his usual defensive end!
Anthony immediately launched a fast break after stealing, and Link posted it immediately to prevent Anthony from easily breaking through.
But Anthony suddenly stopped outside the three-point line and then shot directly!
Link did not expect Anthony to be so decisive, choosing a three-pointer instead of the basket in the fast break, which requires courage.
In the end, Link's blockade was still half a beat slow, and Anthony's abruptly stopped three-pointer into the net. With one grab and one shot, Anthony showed great style!
The moment Anthony hit a three-pointer, the fans in Madison Square Garden cheered. Anthony is in very good shape today. They believe that the Knicks' revival may really begin in these last two months!
After Anthony scored, he did not provoke Link too much, but made his classic "three-point headshot" action.
Link shook his head and sighed. It seems that today, I have to work hard in the garden.
Madison Square Garden does not lack great performances, but today’s performances may not necessarily belong to Anthony.
For the Grizzlies' second offense, Conley just prepared to hang the ball to Gasol, but suddenly stopped.
He raised his hand for the ball because he saw Link, who had just smashed all directions in the All-Star Game.
