Chapter 725 (1/2)

Madison Square Garden has a deep history that other stadiums in the United States do not have, which can be traced back to 1879.

The first Madison Square Garden, a 10000 seat venue, was mainly used as an indoor racing venue, which was eventually closed in 1890. The second Madison Square Garden is an indoor venue with 8000 seats, which also hosted the 1924 democratic state conference, which was closed in 1924.

The third Madison Square Garden, a 18000 seat city hall, was closed in 1967. On February 14, 1968, the fourth Madison garden square opened to the public. Now the Knicks are using the fourth generation.

Despite the change of times, ”garden” still has an indelible position in the hearts of New Yorkers and is regarded as the facade of New York.

NBA has become the fourth generation Madison Square Garden held by the largest proportion of the game, and in 1970, the fourth generation ”garden” witnessed the Knicks won the first championship in the team's history.

In addition, ”garden” is also the first choice for large-scale sports events and concerts besides basketball in New York. For example, in 1971, it hosted the famous ”battle of the century” in boxing history: Joe Fraser vs. Muhammad Ali.

The NBA Draft Convention was held in Madison Square Garden before the establishment of Brooklyn nets' Buckley center.

The Knicks are very lucky to have such a long history and popular stadium as the home.

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

It is a pity that the New York Knicks' struggle in the 21st century has made New Yorkers come back from the ”garden” again and again.

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

But this season, the new Yorker is back in the game after finishing second in the East last season.

The disappearance of Stoudemire, the chaos of the Knicks' internal management, the increasingly poor performance of J.R. Smith, and Tyson Chandler's old style...

all these things have made the Madison Square Garden Competition dim.

But even so, today, February 18, the garden is still full.

Because after the all star game, countless New York fans want to witness link's style!

Tonight's Madison Square Garden is not just Anthony and Knicks' home.

When link arrived at the garden gate of Madison Square on the team bus, he found a huge poster of him and Anthony hanging in the most prominent position outside the stadium.

I don't know. I thought it was going to be a boxing match today.

To be honest, link's desire for revenge on the Knicks is not as strong as that for thunder. Because the Knicks can't pose a direct threat to the Grizzlies in the playoffs, and they won last time by a lot of chance.

But link knew that Anthony, now in trouble, would not give up easily. That's why link is so active in preparing 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 game began, Spike Lee, a famous black director in New York and a No. 1 fan of the Knicks, walked into the garden and was stunned.

Because there were many people holding up link's head and cheering slogans on the stands.

”This is 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 visiting team.

No way, the Knicks' performance this season is really disappointing. Many New York fans may not really want to support Grizzlies, just want to express their dissatisfaction with the Knicks in this way.

As a Knicks fan, I was so angry when I saw this situation. And as the Knicks team star Anthony saw this scene, is not angry.

As a superstar level player, his home fans support the visiting team's superstar.

For Anthony, it was a shame!

But Anthony didn't get angry. He took a deep breath and let himself sink.

Indeed, the Knicks need a big win. Their current 20-32 result is far from the forecast. In February, the Knicks played six games, they only won one of them.

It would be strange if the fans could forgive the Knicks.

Anthony was down. He knew that he could only defeat link with the calmest emotion and the best state.

Link is really hot this year, but it's not invincible. Anthony had confidence, and that confidence was not groundless.
