Seven Hundred and Twenty Two: The Holy Land Conquered (Quad K)
Link had 30 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds, and Anthony had 25 points, 2 assists and 5 rebounds.
If you think this stat is average for these two stars, you'd be wrong.
Because this is only the data scored by the two after halftime, the game still has a full halftime to end. God knows what this data will look like after the second half is over!
Everyone held their breath, not only Shumpert, but even the fans and commentators didn't expect them to encounter this kind of scene today.
The New York commentator initially thought that Madison Square Garden would have a high score tonight, but did not expect it to be as high as 30 points at halftime!
30 points at halftime may not be ranked in NBA history. After all, Link's opponent Carmelo Anthony made 33 points in a single quarter.
But you can't take every game against history, and the fact is, Link's 30-point halftime gave the Knicks a lot of trouble. They still trailed by 11 points at halftime despite Anthony's heroic performance.
For the Knicks, who get one step closer to the abyss every time they lose, it's a hell of a situation.
No one in the Knicks could defend Link, so Jogel used Link to attack desperately.
At this time, it is a waste to share the offensive opportunity on others.
Link also lived up to expectations, and people were 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, and all the stars take pride in conquering it.
Although Link has won many games at Madison Square Garden, he is far from conquest.
Today, though, the history of Madison Square Garden may indeed bear Link's name.
In the locker room at halftime, Dave Jogel also reminded Link of what was recorded. However, Link himself didn't care much.
He scored 30 points in the half, not scoring for the sake of scoring, but scoring for the sake of winning.
"I will continue to attack in the second half, but I don't want to play in garbage time to brush the data. Of course, if it is only one or two points away from 50 points, then of course I have to get the record and then end the game." Link waved his hand. The second half was full of confidence.
As a league superstar, no matter which team Link plays this season, he will encounter the tightest and most merciless defense. It is commonplace for three people to double-team things like this.
Link's classic rebounding pull-bar was completed under the simultaneous containment of the Big Three.
Link has long been accustomed to such a tight defense. Today, suddenly facing the Knicks with a weak defense, Link really does whatever he wants on the offensive end.
Therefore, it is not difficult to score 50 points today, the key is to see whether it is necessary to do so.
But soon, Anthony resolved Link's doubts.
Facts have proved that Link is very necessary to continue the attack. Because today, Carmelo Anthony is not going to give up!
"Carmelon grabbed the offensive rebound. He was exceptionally active today! Gasol covered Anthony, but Anthony still scored the ball with a difficult fallback jumper! Beautiful, the point difference was narrowed to Anthony again. Single digits, if the Knicks played so hard for most of the previous season, they wouldn't have to fight for a playoff spot now!"
Anthony's performance has undoubtedly won the respect of the New York commentator. At least today, he really carried the team on his shoulders and walked.
If it weren't for Anthony, the game might have been spent at halftime.
This time, Anthony didn't even do any celebratory action after scoring, but instead retreated cleanly and directly.
He knew that he couldn't waste any extra stamina now. If you want to bite Link to the end, you must be prepared for a protracted battle!
After Anthony's offense was over, he still led the entire court to defend Link. It might be hard for Anthony to have one game a season, defending as seriously as he did today.
But in the second half, Link clearly found that the Knicks were no longer letting Anthony defend himself.
Just as Link walked beyond the three-point line, he was double-teamed by Anthony and Shumpert.
"Double-teamed, and double-teamed at the beginning of the second half. This means that the Knicks have nothing to do with Link, but go to extremes!"
Mike Woodson's only way is to pile up the numbers. He would rather let others score than let Link continue to score recklessly.
Double-teaming is a nightmare for any star, and it is impossible for anyone to play well when they are double-teamed.
Unless, in addition to independent scoring, this star also has an excellent passing skills.
Just when Anthony and Shumpert's double-team was in place, Link threw the ball at will without any hesitation.
Both Anthony and Shumpert were stunned, thinking they would delay Link for at least a few seconds. But Link was still smooth on the offensive end, and his movements didn't stop.
The two turned their heads and saw that Iguodala, who was missed by Shumpert, jumped up from the crowd, grabbed the basketball in the air, and pressed his hands into the frame!
A beautiful alley-oop, no one knows when Link saw Iguodala's inward trajectory. With just one pass, he once again pierced the Knicks' defense.
Mike Woodson fell back to the bench and scored 30 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds. Link can also use other methods to help the team even when he does not score.
Woodson feels that Link may not only be able to score 50 points in a single game at Madison Square Garden today...
After the game, Link and Anthony were still the most dazzling protagonists in the audience. Although Anthony's scoring explosiveness is not as good as Link's today, thanks to Smith's assistance, the Knicks can barely keep the score difference within 15 points.
And Link, even in the face of double-teaming, did not stop attacking.
In the fifth minute of the third quarter, Link sent the ball to Tony Allen in a double-team. The latter shot directly from the three-point arc when it was completely unmarked.
Tony Allen, as an NBA-level player, naturally cannot have no shooting ability at all. It's just that in high-efficiency NBA games, players like Tony Allen, whose three-point shooting rate cannot be guaranteed, generally do not shoot three-pointers.
However, Tony Allen is still willing to vote for the completely unmarked open space.
It's just embarrassing that this time, Tony Allen still failed to make a three-point shot from a completely unmarked open position...
Tony Allen swallowed his saliva, he was so embarrassed!
Anthony secretly rejoiced in his heart, this is the most successful double-teaming against Link they have had in the third quarter so far!
As long as Link can be forced to pass the ball to Tony Allen, the defense will win half!
"Social Melon" was thinking about it, but found a dark shadow passing between him and Shumpert.
Anthony immediately chased back and shouted at Chandler, "Be careful to protect the rebound, protect the rebound!"
Behind the shadow that Anthony was chasing wildly, a big "0" was fluttering in the wind.
He and Shumpert didn't catch Link the first time, they made an extremely serious mistake!
Chandler immediately jumped to get enough rebounds after hearing Anthony's reminder, but the current "champion" is no longer the top of the league in terms of the absolute height and speed of his jumps.
Tyson, who entered the industry as a high school student in 2001, is now a 34-year-old man.
Chandler watched Link charged aggressively, and he knew that he couldn't grab the rebound ahead of time. But at the very least, he has to dial the basketball to the outside and let his teammates fight for the second time on the outside.
Just when Chandler's fingers were about to touch the basketball, Link suddenly jumped into the air from Chandler's side like a rocket that took off and grabbed the basketball!
Chandler's eyes widened, and he still hadn't forgotten that summer of 2011, the Western Conference finals. How the Mavericks cleanly eliminated the dark horse Grizzlies and entered the finals.
In his impression, Link at that time had no superstar image. At that time, Tyson believed that Link was at most an All-Star, which seemed to be Link's upper limit.
but now......
"boom!"
The hoop let out a superstar, and Link hung one arm on the hoop. The stands at Madison Square were boiling, and the fans couldn't help cheering for the visiting team players!
"One-handed dunk, Link saved Tony Allen's inaccurate shot! He abruptly got on top of Chandler's head and got the basketball first! 38 points, 8 assists and 6 rebounds! Link has hit the ground. A statistic close to a triple-double! Link has hit five triple-doubles so far this season, and currently ranks first in the league! Can Link do the same at Madison Square Garden today! ?"
Everyone stood up, scoring, assisting and rebounding, and Link didn't drop a single stat.
Anthony put his hands on his knees, panting, feeling for the first time how terrified he was of an unstoppable opponent at Madison Square Garden.
Now, the Knicks are 14 points behind. All the Knicks players stared 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 his teammates, took a deep breath, and stood up again.
"Keep attacking!"
"Fuck, don't give up!" 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 for individual scoring has always trumped winning. But today, Anthony is dead set on winning.
Link opened his arms again. It seems that today, he is destined to leave his name in Madison Square Garden.
The game went on like this until the last 3 minutes. Anthony's fallback jumper in this attack was directly blocked by Tony Allen.
Anthony is already too tired, and his take-off height is much lower than before.
And due to the decline in physical fitness, the movements are naturally not as clean as before.
The moment he was blocked by Tony Allen, Anthony's heart went cold.
At this point, the difference between the two sides is 15 points! If Link scores another goal, the game will basically be 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. After being blocked, he immediately dragged his beating heart and tried to chase back. At this time, the camera of the whole game was aimed at Link.
The guy who made history tonight!
"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 can achieve that. But I know that if this goal is scored again, Link will kill the game!"
The commentators in the first row all stood up. At the beginning, the 1.0 version of James in the Cavaliers had scored 52+8+10 in the garden, and that was the closest a player had scored 50 points in Madison Square Garden. Three pairs of data.
What a player as strong as James couldn't achieve at Madison Square Garden is now being choked by an undrafted pick!
Link didn't think so much in his mind, he just wanted to kill the game immediately!
This game has been played long enough, he and Anthony have played enough, it's time to end it all!
Just when Link hit the basket, Tyson Chandler bravely blocked it. The "Champion" can be said to be humiliated today. As the former best defensive player, Link scored 52 points with ease.
He was very dissatisfied with his performance, so for this crucial goal, he vowed to stop Link to the death!
Chandler went up without reservation, but his arms did not press down, and he controlled it very well.
In the air, Link seemed to suddenly hit a wall, and suddenly lost all lift in the air. Link is waiting for the referee's whistle, but the referee doesn't intend to whistle!
In the end, Link could only throw the ball to the hoop in a hurry!
At this time, Anthony has also rushed back. Link's hasty layup finally hit the front of the basket and came out!
"Go away, this is my rebound!" Anthony yelled and jumped up!
When rebounding, Anthony always likes to yell, which is already a distinctive feature of his court.
But this time, Link was not frightened by Anthony's voice.
The moment he landed, he immediately took off a second time, and finally got a basketball with Anthony!
The basketball was pointed into the air again and was not snatched by anyone.
Everyone in the audience clenched their fists nervously, because this rebound was about Link's record.
Link is also eyeing that rebound, because this rebound is related to the final victory!
Anyway, the game is over!
Link and Anthony took off for the second time. This time, Anthony made some small movements in his hand. He pulled Link back with one hand in the air.
Link tried hard to keep his balance, then reached out and pushed the ball back, letting Anthony pounce!
The two landed again, and the rebound was still out of control. But Link's wave just now gave him an excellent fighting position.
Link then took off for the third time as if the soles of his shoes were springs, and finally took that precious rebound into his arms!
At this point, three Knicks players, Chandler, Anthony and Shumpert, have gathered in the basket!
They all raised their arms around Link, they didn't want their whole game to be wasted!
In this case, Link has no space to pass the ball. So, Link simply took off for the fourth time in a row, and under the blockage of three people, he jumped in place for a layup!
Anthony reached out and grabbed Link in the air, and two completely opposite forces pulled on Link, causing Link to lose his center of gravity.
Link threw the basketball to the top edge of the hoop before he fell. This time, the referee did not sit still!
The referee's whistle sounded, and the basketball that fell after wiping the upper edge of the basket also fell into the net!
Link successfully made a layup when he was surrounded by three people at the basket!
"Got the ball! With 54 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, Link scored his second 50-point triple-double this season! He became the first player in NBA history to hit two 50-point triple-doubles in a single season. , at the same time, it is also the first time that Madison Square Garden has recorded a 50-point triple-double! Cheers, Link gave us a great performance no less than a slam dunk contest after the All-Star Game! Madison Square Garden In the garden, the legend of Link will be passed down from now on!"
Amidst the exclamations of the fans in the audience, Link, who was lying on the ground, also roared and waved his arms violently!
He was as excited as a lion who finally subdued a mighty prey after a great war, proclaiming his dominion over this land!
He finally killed this damn tug of war, he finally conquered this damn basketball holy land!
After Anthony saw Link's roar, he silently turned and left. I didn't complain to the referee, nor did I justify myself. This arrogant New York king just lowered his head and walked directly to the bench.
This guy's arrogant heart was finally shattered by Link. In the last 2 minutes and 50 seconds of the game, Carmelo Anthony accepted the fact that he would fail.
He knew he had inevitably become a stepping stone to Link's great performance.
Madison Square Garden, once again bloodbathed.
