Madison Square Garden has a profound history that other venues in the United States do not have, which dates back to 1879.

The first Madison Square Garden was a venue with 10,000 seats, which was mainly used in indoor racing venues, which were eventually closed in 1890. The second Madison Square Garden was an indoor venue with 8,000 seats, which also held the 1924 Democratic National Conference, which closed in 1924.

The third Madison Square Garden is a city venue with 18,000 seats. It was closed in 1967. On February 14, 1968, the fourth Madison Square Garden Plaza was opened to the public. The Knicks are now using the fourth generation.

Although it has experienced the change of times, the "Garden" still has an indelible status in the hearts of New Yorkers and is considered to be the facade of New York.

The NBA event became the largest proportion of all competitions held by the fourth-generation Madison Square Garden. In 1970, the fourth-generation "Garden" witnessed the Knicks win the first championship in the team's history.

In addition, "Garden" is also the first choice for various large-scale sports events and concerts outside of basketball in New York. For example, in 1971, the famous "War of the Century" Joe Fraser vs. Mohammed Ali, in the history of boxing, was hosted here.

Before the establishment of the Brooklyn Nets' Barclays Center, the NBA draft was held in Madison Square Garden.

It is indeed very lucky that the Knicks can have such a long history 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 made New Yorkers return from the "garden" again and again.

After the Knicks welcomed Anthony, all New Yorkers thought they had finally waited for their savior.

But after entering the playoffs as the second in the Eastern Conference last season, the New Yorker was immediately put into reality this season.

Stoudemire's no longer exists, the chaos in the Knicks' internal management, J.R. Smith's increasingly poor performance, Tyson Chandler's old attitude

These things make the Madison Square Garden competition dull.

But even so, today on February 18, the "garden" is still full.

Because after the All-Star Game, countless New York fans also hope to witness Link’s style with their own eyes!

Tonight's Madison Square Garden is not just the home court of Anthony and the Knicks.

When Link arrived at the entrance of Madison Square Garden on the team bus, he found that his huge poster and Anthony were hanging in the most conspicuous position outside the stadium.

I don’t know, I thought that today was going to be a boxing match.

To be honest, Link's desire for revenge for the Knicks is not as strong as that for the Thunder. Because the Knicks cannot pose a direct threat to the Grizzlies in the playoffs, and there are many chances when they won the game last time.

But Link knew that Anthony, who was in trouble now, would definitely not let go easily. Therefore, Link was so active in preparing for the game.

He didn't want to take revenge on the Knicks, but he didn't want to make a comeback twice.

Before the game began, Spike Lee, a famous black director in New York and the Knicks' number one fan, was shocked after he walked into the "Garden".

Because in the stands at the scene, many people actually raised Link's avatars and slogans that cheered Link.

"This is crazy. Is this the home court of the Knicks or the home court of the Grizzlies?" Spike Lee was a little angry. He really couldn't believe that so many New Yorkers would support the visiting team.

There is no way, the Knicks' performance this season is indeed too disappointing. Many New York fans may not really want to support the Grizzlies, but just want to express their dissatisfaction with the Knicks in this way.

As a Knicks fan, he was so angry when he saw this situation. Anthony, who is the star of the Knicks, was even more angry when he saw this scene in front of him.

As a superstar player, his home fans support the visiting superstar.

For Anthony, this is undoubtedly a humiliation!

However, Anthony was not angry, but took a deep breath to calm himself down.

Indeed, the Knicks need a great victory too much. Their current loss is far from the prediction. In the six games played by the Knicks in February, they only won one of them.

It would be strange if fans could forgive such a Knicks.

Anthony calmed down. He knew that he could only defeat Link with the calmest mood and the best state.

Link is indeed very popular this year, but it is not invincible. Anthony has confidence, and such confidence is not groundless.

Because just a month ago, on January 25 this year, Cameron Anthony just set the highest scoring record of Madison Square Garden with a terrible score of 62 points in a single game!

Previously, this record was set by Kobe, who scored 61 points in 2009. Last month, Madison Square Garden's highest scoring record finally returned to the Knicks players themselves.

Although the Knicks have a bad record this season, Anthony's data is not bad at all. He averages 27.6 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, shooting percentage of 45.2%, and three-point shooting percentage of 40.5%!

In terms of personal abilities, he is still one of the strongest stars in the league.

Therefore, even if Anthony's opponent Link is still confident. He doesn't think he is worse than anyone else's now.

When I was warming up today, Anthony was very serious. After seeing Anthony's condition, Link was very glad that he also actively prepared for the game.

The live commentator was still discussing whether Anthony and Link would 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 their condition.

Before the game started, Anthony was interviewed by a sideline reporter. Just like in the All-Star Game, the reporter's questions were very sharp. "Cameron, I must say that New York is in danger today! The Grizzlies' current record is an incredible 48 wins and 4 losses. They just won four consecutive victories before the All-Star Game. Compared with the Knicks, the Grizzlies' record is luxurious. Today, are you really confident that you can resist foreign enemies in the garden?"

The New York reporter is very serious. It is perfect for him to describe the Knicks' situation at this time by "at stake".

"I have nothing to say, let's see the difference on the court." Anthony said very little today, and just answered and ran to the designated position to stand.

Link glanced at the Knicks' lineup and didn't understand where the Knicks' luxury tax was paid.

Chandler, who won 14 million this year, has long lost the ability to be the best defensive player.

Anthony had to go to the fourth position because the Knicks' highest-paid player, Stoudemire, who earned 21.6 million yuan in annual salary this season, averaged only 11.9 points and less than 5 rebounds per game.

The three outside lines are Felton, Shampoo and Prigioni. Among these three, no one can score twice a digit per game.

Does this lineup really require so much luxury tax? Apart from the fact that there is no place to spend it, Link really can't think of a second reason.

To be honest, the Knicks' lineup on paper is really not strong. But Link is very clear that whether New York is in chaos or not has to be decided by Gua Ge. Whether the Knicks is strong or not depends on Anthony, not others.

Link knew that Anthony just scored 62 points in the Garden a month ago. Anthony scored points in the previous three games.

Anthony is in a good state, and he wants to drag the Knicks into the playoffs. When a player scores 50 or 60 points in a single game, even if you have the advantage in the paper lineup, you may not be able to chew the game.

Today, the only suspense is whether Anthony will explode. If Anthony cannot explode, then it will be no problem to deal with the Knicks.

But if Anthony continues to explode, Link must exert his strength as an All-Star vote king.

After the game started, Gasol easily took the lead on Chandler's head. Chandler seemed to have a lot of athletic ability, which is incomparable to 2011.

The Grizzlies had the first attack, and Randolph took the lead. He believed that he had a natural tonnage and strength advantage against Anthony.

However, today, Anthony did not fight and retreat on the defensive end. He first withstood Randolph's powerful impact, and then at the moment when Randolph's rhythm was chaotic, Leng Jiu cut the ball off!

At the beginning of the game, Anthony showed his different side from usual on the defensive end!

After Anthony steals, he immediately launches a fast attack, and Link immediately posts it to prevent Anthony from breaking through easily.

But Anthony suddenly stopped outside the three-point line and then took action directly!

Link didn't expect Anthony to be so decisive. It took courage to choose a three-pointer instead of the basket in the fast break.

Link's blocking was finally half a beat slower, and Anthony's emergency stop was hollowed out by three-pointers. One shot and one shot, Anthony showed his super giant style!

The moment Anthony made a three-pointer, the fans in Madison Square Garden cheered and excited. Anthony was in good shape today, and they believed that the Knicks' revival might really start from these last two months!

After Anthony scored, he did not provoke Link too much, but made his classic "three-point headshot" move.

Link shook his head and sighed. It seems that today, he must work hard in the garden.

Madison Square Garden is not short of great performances, but today's performances may not necessarily belong to Anthony.

The Grizzlies made their second attack, and Conley was about to hang the ball to the "Big White Bear" Gasol, but suddenly stopped moving.
Chapter completed!
