722:Conquered Holy Land (4K)
Link had 30 points, six assists and four rebounds, and Anthony had 25 points, two assists and five rebounds.
If you think this statistic is mediocre for these two stars, you are very wrong.
Because this is only the stats cut by the two after the half, the game will not end for a full half. God knows what that stat will look like after the second half!
Everyone held their breath, and now it wasn't just Shambaugh, but even the fans and commentators didn't expect them to encounter such a scene today.
The New York Commentator initially thought that Madison Square Garden would have a high score tonight, but he didn't expect it to be a high score of 30 points at halftime!
The 30-point half-time may not be the highest in NBA history, after all, Link's opponent Cameron Brown. Anthony had done something like 33 points in a single quarter.
But you can't play every game against history, and the truth is that Link's 30-point halftime gave the Knicks a lot of trouble. They trailed by 11 points at halftime despite Anthony's heroic performance.
For the Knicks, who get one step closer to the abyss with every one more loss, it's like hell.
No one in the Knicks could defend against Link, so Joggle used Link to attack desperately.
At this time, it is a waste to share the offensive opportunity with others.
Link also lived up to expectations, with people expecting him to become the eighth visiting player in NBA history to score 50+ points at Madison Square Garden.
Madison Square Garden is a basketball temple where all stars take pride in conquering it.
Link has won a lot of games at Madison Square Garden, but "conquest" is far from it.
Today, though, Link's name may actually remain in the history of Madison Square Garden.
At halftime in the locker room, Dave. Joggle also reminded Link of what he had documented. However, Link himself didn't care much.
He scored 30 points in the first half, not for the sake of scoring, but for the sake of victory.
"I'll keep attacking in the second half, but I don't want to waste time and play and play stats. Of course, if you are only one or two points away from 50 points, then of course you have to get a record and then go down. Link waved his hand, he was confident in the second half.
As a superstar in the league, Link will be faced with the tightest and most ruthless defense this season, no matter which team he plays on. Three-person bags and such things are commonplace.
Link's classic rebounding back pull was done under the simultaneous containment of the Big Three.
Link has long been accustomed to such tight defense, and today suddenly faced the Knicks with weak defense, and Link really did whatever he wanted on the offensive end.
Therefore, it is not difficult to score 50 points today, the key is to see if it is necessary to do so.
Soon, though, Anthony solved Link's doubts.
As it turned out, Link was very much in need of a consistent attack. Because today, Cameron. Anthony isn't going to give up just yet!
"Cameron grabbed the rebound and he was very positive today! Gasol covered Anthony, but Anthony still scored the ball with a difficult step-back jumper! Beautiful, the point difference was narrowed to single digits by Anthony, and if the Knicks had played so tough for most of the previous season, they wouldn't have to desperately grab a playoff spot now! ”
Anthony's performance has undoubtedly earned the respect of the New York commentators, at least today, he really carried the team on his shoulders.
If it weren't for Anthony, the game would have been spent at half-time.
This time, Anthony didn't even make any celebrations after the goal, but retreated cleanly.
He knew that he couldn't afford to waste any extra energy now. If you want to bite Link to the end, you must be ready to fight a long battle!
After Anthony's offense ended, he was still the leader of the whole game, Link. Anthony may not have a game in a season and is so serious about defending as he did today.
But in the second half, it became clear to Link that the Knicks were no longer letting Anthony defend himself. Link had just walked beyond the three-point line when he was caught between Anthony and Shambaugh.
"I got the bag, I got the bag at the start of the second half. This means that the Knicks have nothing to do with Link and can only go to extremes! ”
Mike. The only way Woodson could do that was to pile up the numbers and would rather let someone else score than let Link continue to score with impunity.
Packs are a nightmare for any star, and it's impossible for anyone to be able to play with them at ease.
Unless, in addition to scoring on his own, this star also has an excellent passing skill.
Just as Anthony and Shambaugh's bag was in place, Link threw the ball at random without hesitation.
Anthony and Shambaught were stunned, thinking they would delay Link for at least a few seconds. But Link was still fluent on the offensive end, without any pauses in his movements.
The two turned their heads to look, only to see Iguodala, who had been missed by Shambaugh, leap up from the crowd, grab the basketball in the air, and press his hands into the frame!
A beautiful aerial relay, no one knows when Link saw Iguodala's inward trajectory. With just one pass, he penetrated the Knicks' defense again.
Mike. Woodson slumped back off the bench and had 30 points, seven assists and four rebounds, and Link was able to help the team in other ways even when he wasn't scored.
Woodson feels that Link may be able to score more than just 50 points in a single game at Madison Square Garden today......
In the following games, Link and Anthony were still the most dazzling protagonists of the game. Although Anthony was not as explosive as Link today's scoring, he benefited from . With Smith's assistance, the Knicks were barely able to keep the margin within 15 points.
Link, on the other hand, did not stop attacking even in the face of a double bag.
In the fifth minute of the third quarter, Link sent the ball to Tony in the bag. Aaron's hands. The latter, completely unmarked, shot directly from outside the three-point line.
Tony. As an NBA-level player, Allen naturally can't have no shooting ability at all. It's just that in the NBA game, which emphasizes high efficiency, Tony . A player like Allen, who can't guarantee a three-point shooting percentage, generally doesn't shoot three-pointers.
But the big empty space that is completely unmarked, Tony. Aaron is still willing to vote.
It's just embarrassing that this time there was no one to mark the empty three-point shot, Tony. Aaron still couldn't hit the ......
Tony. Aaron himself swallowed his saliva, embarrassed and embarrassed!
Anthony secretly rejoiced in his heart, this is the most successful game they have had against Link so far in the third quarter!
As long as you can force Link to pass the ball to Toney. In Aaron's hands, the defense won half of the game!
"Social Melon" was thinking about it, but noticed a dark shadow passing between him and Shambaugh.
Anthony immediately chased back and yelled at Chandler, "Protect the rebounds, protect the rebounds!" ”
Behind the black shadow that Anthony was chasing, a big "0" was fluttering in the wind.
He and Shambaught didn't get stuck in Link in the first place, they made an extremely serious mistake!
Chandler immediately jumped up to rebound after hearing Anthony's reminder, but the current "boxing champion" is no longer the top in the league in terms of absolute height and speed of bounce.
Tyson, who entered the industry as a high school student in 01, is now a 34-year-old man.
Chandler watched Link rush in and knew he couldn't have grabbed the rebound early. But at the very least, he also has to move the basketball to the outside and let his teammates fight for a second time on the outside.
Just as Chandler's fingers were about to touch the basketball, Link suddenly jumped into the air from Chandler's side like a rocket in the air and grabbed the basketball!
Chandler's eyes widened, and he hadn't forgotten the summer of 2011, the Western Conference Finals. How did the Mavericks cleanly take out the dark horse Grizzlies and advance to the finals.
In his impression, Link at that time didn't look like a superstar. At that time, Tyson thought that Link was an All-Star at best, and that seemed to be Link's ceiling.
But now......
"Boom!"
The basket made a superstar sound, and Link hung one arm from the frame. The stands at Madison Square were boiling over, and the fans couldn't help but cheer on the visiting players!
"One-handed dunk, Link saves Tony. Allen's inaccurate shot! He got the basketball from the top of Chandler's head and was the first to get the basketball! 38 points, 8 assists, 6 rebounds! Link has blasted down a near-triple-double stat! So far this season, Link has hit 5 triple-doubles and is currently ranked first in the league! Can Link do the same at Madison Square Garden today!? ”
Everyone stood up, scored, assisted, and rebounded, and Link didn't fall a single statistic.
Anthony panted and braced his hands on his knees, feeling for the first time how terrifying it was to meet an unstoppable opponent at Madison Square Garden.
Now, the Knicks are 14 points behind. The entire Knicks were staring at Anthony, as if they were asking their star with their eyes, "That guy is unstoppable, are we going to give up?" ”
Anthony looked around at his teammates, took a deep breath, and got back on his feet.
"Keep attacking!"
"Damn, don't give up yet!" Link wiped the sweat from his forehead, it was the first time he had seen Anthony so paranoid about winning.
In the past, Anthony's desire to score points has always trumped victory. But today, Anthony is dead set on victory.
Link then opened his arms again, and it seemed that today, he was destined to leave his name in Madison Square Garden.
The game continued into the final three minutes, and Anthony's step-back jumper in this attack was defeated by Toney. Aaron directly capped.
Anthony was so tired that he didn't jump as high as he used to.
And due to the decline in physical fitness, the movements are naturally not as clean and neat as before.
By Tony. The moment Aaron sealed it, Anthony's heart was half cold.
At this point, the difference between the two sides is 15 points! If Link scores again, then the game is basically over!
Chasing a score difference of more than 15 points in less than 3 minutes is almost impossible!
Anthony didn't have time to be annoyed, and immediately after being blocked, he dragged his beating heart and tried to chase back, and at this time, the whole game was on Link.
The guy who has already made history tonight!
With 52 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds, Link is just one rebound away from becoming the first player in NBA history to score a 50-point triple-double at Madison Square Garden! I don't know if he'll be able to do it, but I know that if he scores again, Link will kill the game! ”
The commentators in the first row all stood up, and at the beginning, James 1.0 during the Cavaliers period had hit 52+8+10 in the garden, which was also the closest to a 50-point triple-double in Madison Square Garden.
What a player as strong as James couldn't achieve at Madison Square Garden is now choked by a draft loss!
Link didn't think much about it, he just wanted to kill the game immediately!
It's been long enough, he's had enough with Anthony, it's time to put an end to it!
Just as Link was hitting the basket, Tyson. Chandler bravely blocked it. "The King of Fighters" can be said to be humiliated today, but as the best defensive player in the past, Link easily scored 52 points.
He was very unhappy with his performance, so this crucial goal, he vowed to stop Link to the death!
Chandler slammed in without reservation, but his arms were not pressed down, and he was very well controlled.
In the air, Link seemed to suddenly hit a wall, and suddenly lost all his lift in the air. Link is waiting for the referee's whistle, but the referee isn't going to blow the whistle!
In the end, Link could only throw the ball to the basket in a hurry!
By this time, Anthony had already rushed back. Link's hasty layup ended up hitting the front of the basket and knocking out of the frame!
"Fuck off, here's my rebound!" Anthony roared and jumped to his feet!
When grabbing rebounds, Anthony always likes to yell, which is already his distinctive feature on the court.
But this time, Link wasn't bluffed by Anthony's voice.
The moment he landed, he immediately jumped a second time, and finally clicked on the basketball with Anthony!
The basketball was again thrown into the air and was not snatched by anyone.
Everyone in the audience clenched their fists nervously because the rebound was about Link's record.
Link is also eyeing that rebound, because this rebound is about the final victory!
Anyway, it's time for the game to end!
Link and Anthony jumped for the second time, this time, Anthony made some small movements in his hand, and he dragged Link back with one hand in the air.
Link struggled to keep his balance, then reached out and flicked the ball back, allowing Anthony to save!
The two landed again, and the rebounds were still out of control. But Link's just that move gave him a great scramble position.
Link then jumped for the third time like a spring on the sole of his shoe, and finally took the rebound worth a thousand dollars into his arms!
At this time, there are already three Knicks players under the basket, Chandler, Anthony and Shambaugh!
They all threw their arms up around Link, they didn't want their entire game of hard work to be wasted!
In this case, Link has no room to pass the ball. So, Link simply jumped for the fourth time in a row, and jumped on the spot to make a layup under the block of three people!
Anthony reached out in the air and grabbed Link, and two completely opposite forces pulled on Link's body, causing Link to lose his center of gravity.
Link threw the basketball to the top of the basket before he fell, and this time, the referee didn't sit still!
The referee's whistle blew, and the basketball that fell after grazing the edge of the basket also fell into the net!
Link managed to make a layup when he was surrounded by three people under the basket!
"The ball is in! With 54 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, Link scored a 50-point triple-double for the second time this season! He became the first player in NBA history to hit two 50-point triple-doubles in a single season, and at the same time, it was also the first time that Madison Square Garden had a 50-point triple-double! Cheers, Link gave us a great performance after the All-Star break, no less than a slam dunk contest! Madison Square Garden will be a legend of Link from now on! ”
In the exclamation of the fans in the audience, Link, who was lying on the ground, also roared and waved his arms violently!
He is as excited as a lion who has finally subdued his powerful prey after a great war, declaring his domination over the land!
He's finally killed this damn tug-of-war, and he's finally conquered this damn basketball mecca!
Anthony saw Link's roar and silently turned away. I didn't complain to the referee, and I didn't defend myself. The haughty King of New York just lowered his head and walked straight to the bench.
This guy's arrogant heart was finally shattered by Link. In the final 2 minutes and 50 seconds of the game, Cameron. Anthony accepted that he was bound to fail.
He knew that he had inevitably become a stepping stone to Link's great performance.
Madison Square Garden was once again bloodied.
