On the evening of March 14, 2014, the Suns played away against the New York Knicks.

Madison Square Garden (Madisarden) is located in Midtown Manhattan, New York, New York, USA, and is simply called "The Garden" by New York locals. It is located on Penn Station, one of the largest train stations in the United States, and many out-of-town tourists who come to New York by train will see Madison Square Garden at first sight, which is worthy of being the face of New York.

Madison Square Garden is home to teams such as the New York Knicks, New York Rangers, New York Liberty, St. John's University, Red Storm University, and more, as well as large indoor events such as solo concerts and political rallies. New York's first motivational concert after the devastation of 9/11 and John Lennon's last concert before his murder in 1980 were both held here. The hall in the garden has a special seating list detailing the different seating arrangements for different events such as basketball, ice hockey, concerts, etc., and according to statistics, the stadium hosts 320 large-scale events a year. It is not only the NBA's "Arena Mecca", but also the place where Jordan, Reggie Miller, and other superstars leave magical memories, girl idol Taylor Sift, King of Pop Michael Jackson, Empress Madonna, pop princess Britney, European and American pop diva Lady Gaga, dolphin music diva Mariah Carey, pop king Justin Timberlake, the new generation of pop music prince Justin Bieber, Asian group Mayday, South Korea's **Entertainment Co., Ltd. family artist** TON and others have held concerts there, and it is the "Mecca of Boxing" before Las Vegas, which is the most active stage of boxing in the past century, and has hosted the first and second fights between Fraser and Ali, and many boxing matches of Joe Lewis and other historical classic events.

A history of Madison Square Garden is a vivid history of American sports, literature and politics.

Madison Square Garden in New York is recognized as the temple of basketball. The trapeze artist Michael Jordan loves to play here, and the current LeBron James makes no secret of his preferences.

It's just that this basketball temple has been covered with dust for a long time. New York, one of the world's largest cities, has almost endless resources and rabid and vitriol fans. Even with the dismal record over the years, Madison Garden is still packed with fans, and whether the Knicks win or lose, the number of fans in the league is around the top five. It's just that the patience of fans is limited after all, how long can they put up with the Knicks?

The last time the Knicks won a championship was back in the 1972-1973 season, more than 40 years ago. The last time Jordan made it to the Finals was in his second retirement, a shortened season in 1998-1999 in which he only played 50 regular-season games. That year, the Knicks had an average record, but they relied on the team's desperate defense, as well as the charge of Alan Houston and Latris Prewell, creating the best old eight legend in history, and went all the way to the finals as the eighth seed before losing to the twin towers led by Duncan and the generals. By now, Duncan is about to attack his fifth championship ring, and the Knicks have only played in the Eastern Conference Finals once in nearly 20 years, not to mention the Finals. After entering the 21st century, the best result is the second round in the East.

At this time, Hornacek is not in the mood to appreciate the luxury facilities of Madison Garden, he has been on fire lately, and the Suns are worthy of being a young team, and the state has fluctuated too much, especially after Bledsoe's season was reimbursed, the team's outside defense dropped a notch, and then the team's strength fluctuated even more.

The Suns currently have a 40-25 record, sitting in fifth place in the West, and could fall to sixth place at any time, how can that not make Hornacek anxious?

But while Hornacek is just anxious about what playoff opponents to pick for the team, New York Knicks fans are already thinking about what rookies to pick at the end of the season.

Because the New York Knicks have a record of 27 wins and 40 losses at this time, ranking twelfth in the East!

You know, they were the second-best team in the East last year! (54-28)

From 2001 to 2010, the Knicks were in a slump, winning no more than 50% of the team's percentage, only making the playoffs in the 2003-04 season, and the rest of the seasons were eliminated early in the regular season. It wasn't until the 2010-11 season that Carmelo Anthony joined Chauncy Billups to join the New York Knicks, making the team enter the playoffs again after five years, but in the playoffs, they met a strong and neat Celtics and were swept out by the Celtics 0-4.

In the 2011-12 season, the Knicks continued to have a poor record and faced injury problems, with Carmelo Anthony sidelined with injuries and Chauncey Billups sidelined due to the death of his brother. At the moment of crisis, Jeremy Lin, a Chinese-American player, stood up from the bench and scored five consecutive games to break the 20 mark starting from the game against the Nets, leading the team to seven consecutive victories, setting off a whirlwind of Lin's madness. In the 2012 NBA All-Star Game, the New York team composed of the retired Knicks "mid-range shooting king" Alan Houston, current team member Landry Fields, and NBA New York Liberty Kapi Bondstar won the NBA Shooting Star Competition. On March 14, 2012, head coach Mike D'Antoni left the post and was replaced by assistant coach Mike Woodson, who was later promoted to head coach.

It's not easy to help Anthony build a team. With a mid-range scorer like Melon, you need a lot of shooters to open up space, strong rebounders to help grab rebounds, and the whole team to defend as one. The Knicks' final peak in the 2012-2013 season, the whole team had this flavor. That year, the Knicks, under the leadership of head coach Woodson, although the defense was mediocre, they often used three-pointers to break down opponents. Rebounding Under the hard work of big center Tyson Chandler, the defensive rebounding efficiency is among the top five in the league. He is the first in the league in three-point shooting and shooting, and the shooting percentage is also the fifth in the league at 37.6%. Although the best player at the three-point line is Novak, who can only shoot, almost all of them are three-point threats except for centers, and the space is completely opened. Melon benefited a lot from this, winning the title of the only scoring champion in his career.

However, what followed was chaos. In the 2013-2014 season, the Knicks traded for former No. 1 champion Bargnani, who was a big man who could shoot from the outside. Banyani played very badly, even if he was weak in the seven-foot interior box defense and rebounding, he couldn't show his outside line at all. The three-point shooting that the team relied on the previous year regressed, and the collapse of the defense made the Knicks doomed to miss the playoffs this season.

It is said that little Dolan has contacted the famous Zen master Phil Jackson, who can't wear the championship ring on both hands and speaks to no one understands. But instead of asking him to be coach, the Knicks asked him to be the team's president.

Knicks starting five: Raymond Felton, J.R. Smith, Carmelo Anthony, Amarestad Meyre, Tyson Chandler.

Suns starting five: Ramon Sessions, Chris Middleton, Lee Mojab, Markieff Morris, Channing Fry

"Hey! Tim! "Jack Lee hugged the Knicks' bench and fellow rookie Tim Hardaway as he prepared for the sport.

"Hey Mojie, congratulations on winning Rookie of the Month again!" Tim Hardaway looked at Li Mojie enviously, although both of them are members of the All-Star Rookie Game, but the status of the two is very different!

Hardaway Jr. can't play the main force in the Knicks at this time, let alone be held in the palm of the team like Li Mojie!

When Li Mojie and Little Hardaway bragged about their relationship, a beautiful female voice was remembered on the field.

“i krouble！”

"Taylor Swift!?" Li Mojie looked at Taylor Swift, who was wearing a black tights and a No. 13 New York Knicks jersey and singing in the center of the court at this time. (Mildew actually thinks that number 13 is her lucky number!) ）

"yes, she's been very popular lately! I didn't expect her to be a fan of our Knicks! Hardaway Jr. said as if he had won a ride after mentioning Taylor.

"Ah, I know she's a Knicks fan!" Li Mojie said secretly: Who doesn't know this future generation of fans, this is the benefit of the big ball market!

However, what Li Mojie didn't expect was that after Taylor finished singing, when he shouted the slogan that the Knicks must win, the director badly hit Li Mojie with the camera, and Li Mojie happened to leak a disdainful sneer, which made the audience and Taylor angry enough.

"This guy is such a stinky fart when he was an All-Star!" Swift glanced at Li Mojie with her sexy fox eyes and seemed to think of something!
