Link took the initiative to pass the ball, and the fans immediately climaxed.

They thought that the two All-Star starters who had just returned from the All-Star Game might not be able to recover due to the continuous rush. But as it turns out, both guys are fully engaged in the regular season battle.

The moment Link received the basketball, the cheers in Madison Square Garden immediately doubled.

In this year's All-Star Game, Link really made himself a big boost. The Slam Dunk Contest is indeed the easiest way to increase popularity, and Link has undoubtedly proved that even an established superstar can use the Slam Dunk Contest to make himself even more popular.

Iman in charge of defending Link. Shambaugh's whole body tensed, and he spread his arms, constantly adjusting his position with small steps.

Do you think he's preparing to defend? No, he's just relieving the pressure with such defense.

He hadn't expected such a scene, he didn't expect to face such a bloodthirsty superstar. He thought he was only going to have to fight a tired Link, but today he was in a much worse situation than he had imagined.

Shambaught constantly relieved himself of stress, hoping that he would not break down psychologically first.

Link was unhurried and made a few tentative steps in front of Shambaugh.

Just as Shampot's center of gravity wavered, Link suddenly accelerated, and as soon as he took the first step, he made a movement that changed direction in front of his body.

Shambaugh couldn't react and was easily passed by Link. After Link entered the interior line, facing the "boxing champion" Tyson, who was no longer the courage of the past, he easily dodged the block with a small air lever and successfully scored a layup.

The moment Link scored, the New York commentator immediately shouted out a word, "Elegant!" ”

"Flowing movements, elegant final blows. Link is now on the basketball court as he pleases. Shambaugh's defence is completely unthreatening for Link and I bet Link will score high in the garden today! ”

The commentator is not groundless, looking at the Knicks' roster, except for Shambaugh, there are really no outside players who are good defensively.

Felton and Prigioni are both No. 1, and they suffer too much height when defending Link.

On the bench, Hardaway Jr., a rookie, was not enough for Link to eat. As for. Smith? That guy can't even handle his own offense this season, and he still talks about defense.

Although Artest still has a little fuel left in the tank, it is impossible for him to suddenly take off his suit and play on the field at this time, which is plagued by injuries.

As a result, Shambaugh is already the Knicks' best choice for defending Link today, and others will only do worse than Shambaugh on the defensive end.

However, Link had just proven that New York's best option was nothing to mention in front of him.

Today's garden is sure to be a big fight between Link and Anthony!

Link returned the ball beautifully to Anthony, but Anthony was not discouraged.

The last time the Knicks played against the Grizzlies, Link was also in good shape, scoring 32 points in the game. But Anthony did better than Link in that game, so he had the last laugh.

Today, Anthony won't give Link the slightest chance of winning!

Randolph is very uncomfortable right now because Anthony is starting to attack with the ball from beyond the three-point line.

The "Big Black Bear" was in New York and Portland, and the most criticized thing was his defense. Since coming to the Grizzlies, Randolph's defense has improved a lot, but he is still not a very good one-man defender.

In the low post, Randolph can also use his aggressiveness and tonnage to cause problems for the attacking side. But on the outside, Randolph's defense is very vulnerable.

Anthony held the ball with his back and cleared Randolph with a simple cross-step.

It's not the first time Randolph has faced Anthony, so the Grizzlies can't be unprepared,

The moment Randolph was broken through, Gasol Jr. immediately returned to the basket, ready to make up for the defense!

But Anthony was last season's leading scorer, and instead of fearing Gasol Jr.'s defense, he leaned on the Spaniard.

With Gasol's block, Anthony struggled to keep his movements out of shape and finally threw the ball steadily to the rebound.

Basketball refracted into the net, Cameron. Anthony scores in a row!

"Even with the double block of the black and white bears, Anthony still scored the goal! Cameron does what he says, and he still wants to carry the team to the playoffs! If he can keep it up this way, then he will succeed! ”

Link pouted, he had just scored, and Anthony immediately responded. Today, the "social melon" is going to treat himself as if he were dead.

So, you can't treat the Knicks like an average East 10th. A team with Anthony, even if it's bottom in the East, is dangerous.

After the first quarter, Anthony's strong performance never stopped. He scored consecutive points and showed his "offensive kaleidoscope" strength to the fullest.

I don't know if it's influenced by Anthony, even this season has been muddy. Smith, who came off the bench and played one of his best performances of the season.

In the end, Anthony scored 14 points in a single quarter, and he did whatever he wanted at the No. 4 position. Neither Randolph nor Tobias. Harris, there is nothing to do with Anthony.

With Anthony's strong performance, the Knicks also ended the first quarter with a two-point advantage. Anthony and. Smith's excellent performance allowed them to stabilize the situation even when the defense was at a loss.

"Beautiful individual performance, 14 points in a single quarter, every goal Cameron scored was a delight to watch. The Grizzlies are in big trouble today because the Knicks have no way out. So, on the contrary, they will resist even more violently! ”

Link, who scored 10 points and dished out three assists in a single quarter, looked at the big screen at the scene, 28-30, both teams scored highly, and the defense of both sides today was almost useless.

The Grizzlies' No. 4 position can't guard Anthony, and the Knicks' outside line can't do anything with Link.

In the second half of the season, teams that struggle on the brink of the playoffs tend to have a harder time playing than teams that have established a top-eight spot. Because teams that have already established a playoff spot are going to think about the playoffs, they won't fight too hard.

And those teams that still have hope of squeezing into the playoffs, but are temporarily outside the playoff ranks, will not care so much.

They fight every game as if it were the last, at any cost, regardless of the consequences.

As the second in the East last season, the Knicks are even more so.

Dave. Joggel walked up to the players with a frown, the situation was so anxious, this was not the result that Joggel wanted to see.

It was clear that the Grizzlies' defense went terribly wrong in the first quarter. Once a player like James or Anthony is at the No. 4 spot, the Grizzlies' defense is always going to have problems.

Dave. Jogger glanced at Randolph, who also stared at Jogger, then nodded silently, "I know, I know, I don't care about my playing time, if you want to replace me, just do that, as long as it makes the team win the game." ”

Randolph knew that if the team wanted to get out of trouble, they would have to make changes from the No. 4 position. A heavy number four like him has become more and more limited in the game.

Randolph is well aware that big man players are gradually being eliminated by the times. But he doesn't care, he's willing to make any sacrifice for the grizzlies.

Link shook his fists, and normally he would be sent to the number four position.

Link believes that as long as he can match Anthony, Anthony's offensive efficiency will definitely decline!

However, Jogle's decision came as a surprise to Link.

"Second quarter, Tony, you go to defend Anthony." Instead of sending Link to confront Anthony, Joggle sent Tony in the field. Alan!

"As for you, Link. I want you to vent all your firepower! I don't want you to be distracted on the defensive end, and today I need you to do one thing – attack! ”

Dave. Joggle personally "destroyed" the matchup that fans were looking forward to, everyone wanted to see Link vs Anthony, and everyone wanted to see the matchup between these two super scorers.

But Jogger didn't want to see that, he just wanted to win the game.

And the most efficient way to win the game is to let Link concentrate his firepower without worrying about defense! After all, Anthony is in such good shape today that the defense may not be able to defend against it. So Jogger simply decided to attack directly!

"All the firepower, poured out?" Link smiled, this is the command that all stars dream of.

No one knows what will happen at Madison Square Garden tonight.

But Link assured that he wouldn't let New York City be too calm tonight.
