Madison Square Garden has a rich history not found in any other stadium in the United States, dating back to 1879.

The first Madison Square Garden, a 10,000-seat arena that was primarily used for indoor motor racing, was eventually closed in 1890. The second, Madison Square Garden, is an 8,000-seat indoor venue that also hosted the 1924 Democratic Conference, which closed in 1924.

The third Madison Square Garden, an 18,000-seat inner-city venue, closed in 1967. On February 14, 1968, the fourth Madison Garden Plaza opened to the public. Now the Knicks are using the fourth generation.

Although the times have changed, the "garden" still has an indelible place in the hearts of New Yorkers and is considered the face of New York.

The NBA became the largest game ever held at the fourth-generation Madison Square Garden, and in 1970, the fourth-generation "garden" saw the Knicks win their first championship in franchise history.

In addition, the "Garden" is also the first choice for various large-scale sporting events and concerts in New York other than basketball. For example, in 1971, it hosted the famous "Battle of the Century" in the history of boxing - Joe. Fraser against Muhammad Ali.

Prior to the establishment of the Barclays Center for the Brooklyn Nets, the NBA Draft was held at Madison Square Garden.

The Knicks are indeed very lucky to have such a historic and popular stadium as their home stadium.

Every night, people come to Madison Square Garden to witness a great game.

It's a pity that the struggle of the New York Knicks in the 21st century has made New Yorkers disappointed from the "garden" again and again.

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

But after finishing in the playoffs as second in the East last season, this season, the New Yorkers were immediately beaten into reality again.

The state in which Stoudemire ceased to exist, the chaos of the Knicks' internal management, . Smith's increasingly poor performance, Tyson. Chandler's Old Age......

All of these things made the Madison Square Garden game a dull one.

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

Because after the All-Star Game, countless New York fans also want to witness Link's demeanor!

Tonight's Madison Square Garden isn't just home for Anthony and the Knicks.

When Link arrived at the entrance of Madison Square Garden on the team bus, he found a huge poster of him and Anthony hanging in the most prominent position outside the arena.

I don't know, I thought it was a boxing match today.

Truth be told, Link's desire for revenge against the Knicks isn't as strong as it is for the Thunder. Because the Knicks can't pose a direct threat to the Grizzlies in the playoffs, and there was a lot of fortuitous in their last win.

But Link knows that Anthony, who is now in trouble, will definitely not let go easily. That's why Link is so motivated to prepare for the game.

He didn't want revenge on the Knicks, but he also didn't want to roll over twice on the Knicks.

Before the start of the game, Spike, a famous black director in New York and a top fan of the Knicks, was also a big fan of the Knicks. When Lee walked into the garden, he was stunned.

Because in the stands at the scene, there were many people who raised Link's head and slogans to cheer for Link.

"It's crazy, is this the home of the Knicks or the Grizzlies!?" Spike. Lee was a little angry, he couldn't believe that so many New Yorkers would support the visitors.

No way, the Knicks' performance this season is really 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, I'm so angry to see this. And Anthony, as the star of the Knicks, was even more angry when he saw this scene in front of him.

As a superstar-caliber player, his home fans are rooting for the away team's superstar.

For Anthony, this is undoubtedly a humiliation!

But instead of being angry, Anthony took a deep breath and calmed himself.

Indeed, the Knicks need a hearty win. Their current record of 20 wins and 32 losses is far from what was predicted. In the six games the Knicks have played since entering February, they have won only one of them.

It would be strange if the fans could forgive such a Knick.

Anthony breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that he could only defeat Link with his calmest emotions and best state.

Link has indeed been on fire this year, but not unbeatable. Anthony has faith, and that confidence is not unfounded.

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

Previously, this record was set by Bryant, who scored 61 points in 2009. And after last month, the record for the highest scoring in Madison Square Garden is finally back in the hands of the Knicks themselves.

Don't look at the Knicks' bad record this season, but Anthony's stats are not bad at all. He averaged 27.6 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, shooting 45.2% from the field and 40.5% from three-point range!

In terms of individual ability, he remains one of the best stars in the league.

Therefore, Anthony is still confident even against Link. He doesn't think that his current self will be worse than anyone else.

When I warmed up today, Anthony was very serious. When Link saw Anthony's condition, he was glad 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 have just participated in the slam dunk contest, but in fact, both sides have solved the problem of form.

Before the start of the game, Anthony was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines. As in the All-Star Game, the reporter's question was very poignant, "Cameron, I have to say, New York is in danger today!" The Grizzlies currently have an incredible 48-4 record, and they had just won four straight games before the All-Star break. Compared to the Knicks, the Grizzlies' record can be called luxurious. Today, do you really have the confidence that you can defend your garden against foreign enemies? ”

The New York reporter was very serious, and he used the phrase "at stake" to describe the Knicks' situation at this time, which is simply appropriate.

"I don't have anything to say, we'll see on the field." Anthony didn't say much today, and just answered a sentence and ran to the designated place to stand.

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

Chandler, who took 14 million this year, has long lost the ability of the best defensive player.

Anthony had to play at the No. 4 spot because the Knicks' highest-paid player, Stoudemire, who has an annual salary of 21.6 million this season, averaged just 11.9 points and less than five rebounds per game.

The three outside lines are Felton, Shambaught and Prigioni. That's the fact that no one out of the three averages points per game in double figures......

Does this lineup really need that much luxury tax? Aside from the fact that there was so much money that there was nowhere to spend it, Link really couldn't think of a second reason.

To be honest, the Knicks' lineup on paper is really not strong. But Link knows very well that if New York is chaotic or not, it is up to Gua Ge to decide. Whether the Knicks are strong or not, it is also Anthony who looks at it and not others.

Link knows that Anthony had just scored 62 points in the garden a month ago, and in the previous three games, Anthony had also scored 36, 35 and 31 points respectively.

Anthony is in perfect shape, and he's quite eager to drag the Knicks into the playoffs. When a player hits fifty or sixty points in a single game, even if you have the advantage on paper, you won't necessarily be able to nibble at the game.

Today, the only suspense is whether Anthony will break out. If Anthony can't break out, then it's a no-brainer to get the Knicks out.

But if Anthony continues to explode, Link will have to play to his All-Star winning position.

Once the game started, Gasol easily picked the first attack on Chandler's head. Chandler looks like his athleticism has dropped a lot, and it's not comparable to 2011.

The Grizzlies attacked first, and Randolph took the lead. He believes that he has a natural tonnage and strength advantage over Anthony.

Today, however, Anthony didn't go back and forth 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 his hand to cut off the ball!

As soon as the game began, Anthony showed a different side of him on the defensive end!

Anthony immediately launched a fast attack after the steal, and Link immediately posted it to prevent Anthony from breaking through easily.

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

Link didn't expect Anthony to be so decisive, and it took courage to choose a three-point instead of a basket on the fast break.

Link's block ended up being half a beat slower, and Anthony's three-pointer went into the net. One grab and one throw, Anthony shows his super style!

The moment Anthony hit a three-pointer, the fans in Madison Square Garden cheered. Anthony is in great shape today, and they believe that the Knicks' revival may really start in these last two months!

After Anthony scored, he didn't provoke Link too much, just made his classic "three-point headshot" move.

Link shook his head and sighed. It seems that today, it is necessary to work hard in the garden.

There's no shortage of great performances at Madison Square Garden, but today's performances don't necessarily belong to Anthony.

The Grizzlies attacked for the second time, and Conley was just about to hoist the ball to "Big White Bear" Gasol, but suddenly stopped moving.

Because he saw Link, who had just killed all sides in the All-Star Game, he raised his hand to ask for the ball.
