721: Double the firepower

Cameron Anthony feels that he is in very good shape today. Even though he has scored 14 points in the first quarter, he thinks this is not his limit today and he can do better.

15 points per section, 17 points per section, 20 points per section?

Anthony didn't know, he didn't know how much he could do today. But he was confident that his score must be higher than Link.

During the break during the holidays, Knicks coach Mike Woodson did not arrange too many tactics. He just roared a few rituals, even if the work was completed.

Woodson is not without real materials, but the current situation of the team makes him unable to move forward. His only life-saving straw at this time is Anthony, and everyone else is a little embarrassed to use it.

So the Knicks' tactics are very simple, continue to let Anthony master the offense completely!

The cheerleader performance did not distract the fans. After the electronic beep at the beginning of the second quarter, the enthusiastic fans immediately turned the garden into a battlefield.

Everyone knows that Dave Joggle can't sit and wait for death, he will definitely let Link and Anthony face off. Everyone is looking forward to the head-on battle between Link and Anthony. It would be even more exciting if Link can dunk on Anthony's head or Anthony can hit Link's head.

But when the Grizzlies started on the court in the second quarter, everyone was stunned.

Jogel did not ask Link to play against Anthony, but sent a pure defensive player Tony Allen!

"The Grizzlies have substitutions. They are obviously not satisfied with their defense in the first quarter, so they used Tony Allen to replace Randolph. The lineup on the court has become very small, and there are no big players on both sides except Chandler and Gasol."

"That's right, and Coach Joggel deliberately lets Link and Anthony avoid it. This move undoubtedly wants Link to concentrate on attacking. Hold his breath, there will be a heavyweight scoring performance in the garden tonight!"

Almost all the great superstars left their names in Madison Square Garden. Today, could it be Link?

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks attacked first.

Although Anthony did not face Link, Tony Allen's defense was enough for Anthony to have a drink.

In the first quarter, Anthony could play Randolph with any movement he could think of.

But now, Anthony suddenly felt that he was a little difficult to move on the offensive end.

Although the Knicks and the Grizzlies are not in the same branch, Anthony and Tony Allen don’t fight each other a lot. But Anthony is still very clear about how many pounds the guy with a focus on his eyes.

He began dribbling cautiously, looking for the opportunity to make a mistake. With a slight chance, he could complete the score!

Little did they know that it was Anthony himself who made the mistake first.

Tony Allen suddenly sprinted as Anthony focused on himself!

Anthony thought his ball protection was cautious enough, but according to Tony Allen's standards, Anthony's ball protection was still too casual.

Tony Allen started with light speed and cut off the ball in Anthony's hand in one hand!

Anthony, who scored 14 points in a single quarter, made a mistake in the second quarter!

After Tony Allen made a steal, he did not hesitate and handed the ball to Link directly.

Link pushed forward quickly with the ball, but the Knicks' retreat was not slow, so Link could only give up the opportunity to play fast break.

However, outside the three-point line, Link found that Shampoo had contracted a little too much. So Link did not hesitate and seized the opportunity and jumped!

For a superstar, it is extremely fatal to let him seize even any small handle.

Judging from the audience, Link's shooting choice was a bit hasty, and Shampoo's blocking was not too slow.

But only on the basketball court can you feel Shampoo's despair. He knew clearly that he was completely caught by Link.

Link hit the first shot in the second quarter, with a three-pointer that instantly overturned the score.

After Link scored, Anthony rushed up and shouted Shampoo, telling his teammates not to give any space, as if things had turned around.

No one noticed that after Link made this three-pointer, Grizzlies coach Dave Joggle had already sat back on his seat.

Link is in a hot state today, and for Jogel, that's enough!

Anthony now has to climb over the mountain of Tony Allen, but in front of Link, there is a smooth journey!

Jogel knew that nothing could stop him!

Without warning, Link quietly began his gorgeous performance.

22 seconds later, Cameron Anthony's turnover jump shot hit the iron under the interference of Tony Allen, and Link killed him fiercely.

This time, Shampoo did not allow himself to continue making mistakes. He posted it as Link approached the three-point line, as Anthony said, giving Link no chance.

But defense is not always a strong advocate.

Seeing Shampoo sticking it up, Link accelerated his pace like a conditioned reflex!

This made Link quickly "slide" by Shampoo like a loach.

Shampoo forced himself up without Link's speeding up yet, which was simply a free chance to break through!

Link quickly passed Shampoo's blockade, which was equivalent to the Knicks' defensive play that failed directly from the beginning.

In the end, Link broke into the penalty area and scored a one-handed dunk in the desperate eyes of the Knicks players!

With 5 points in a row, Link took it on the offensive end.

Shampoo was quite frustrated now. He looked at Link and his opponent, and felt extremely panicked.

Anthony understood Shampoo's eyes and took the initiative to walk up, "I'll defend Link in the next round, you go see Tony Allen."

Now, Anthony had to focus his energy on the defensive end. Shampoo was being destroyed by Link, and Anthony could not sit idly by.

However, as a pure scorer, it is not easy for Anthony to stop Link.

After one attack, Anthony made a difficult mid-range shot from Tony Allen.

After the difficult attack, Anthony can't breathe, and he must immediately devote himself to the defense against Link.

Anthony's defense is much more experienced than Shampoo. As long as Anthony wants, he can still do a good job of defense.

But for Link, who can be fully committed to the offense, Anthony's defense is not very good.

In the Knicks team, no one can cause trouble for Link on the defensive end!

Faced with Anthony, it was indeed not easy to score, but it was not impossible.

Link chose to break through with the ball, but just after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and then made a shot!

Anthony knew that the emergency stop jump shot was a common weapon for Link, so he did not dare to slack off and jumped up to block it directly. Even if he was a step slower, Link could kill the defense!

However, when Anthony had already started to jump, he realized that Link had no intention of shooting at all, it was just a fake action to worship Buddha!

"Beautiful, Link actually flew Anthony with his fake moves! You know, Anthony himself is an offensive master, and he is very proficient in all kinds of offensive fake moves. Even so, Anthony still cannot judge Link's next intention!"

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, Link, who had deceived Anthony, easily made a layup and scored 7 points in a row!

Including the 10 points in the first quarter, Link scored 17 points before the half-time game ended.

Anthony began to worry, worried that his offensive state was not as good as Link.

When Anthony's score is higher than Link or even similar to Link, the Knicks can beat the Grizzlies.

But when Anthony cannot cause trouble to his opponent in the offense he is most proud of, the game is unavailable.

The King of New York swallowed, and he had already smelled the danger.

In the game after the second quarter, Link showed that he could suppress Anthony's offensive versatility.

Facing the double-team of Anthony and "boxing champion" Tyson, Link, who raised the basketball, threw the ball back and assisted Gasol to make a mid-range shot, which was very similar to the "Magician" who played the pass out of the flower back then.

Facing Anthony's single defense, Link dared to pull out directly after two tentative steps in place. The most important thing is that the hit rate is still very high.

The score difference was slightly widened by Link, and Link's score was also rising rapidly. No one could stop Link's scoring data from increasing.

"Link broke through the basket, but did not make a layup directly, but turned around and hooked! Beautiful, he deceived everyone, who can tell why a No. 3 player's footsteps are so solid under the basket?"

"Tony Allen stole Felton's pass to Anthony, and the Grizzlies launched a fast break! Tony sent the ball to Link as soon as possible, and Stodmeier, who came on the bench, guarded the basket! Link ignored Stodmeier and dunked directly, bo! Oh my God, Amare was directly knocked out of the baseline. Stodmeier did not lose his position, but even so, there was still no way to stop Link!"

Link focused all his energy on the offense as Jogel arranged.

He kept scoring, or helped his teammates score. The entire second quarter turned into a Link's offensive show.

His personal scores were rising at an incredible speed, and even though Anthony performed well, he still couldn't keep up with Link's offensive rhythm.

When the second quarter ended the last two minutes, Link still hit a back jump shot under the interference of Anthony and Stoudemire, Madison Square Garden became quiet.

Because after this goal, Link had already scored his 20th point in the quarter. Before the half game was over, Link had already scored 30 points in the garden!

On the other hand, Anthony, who scored 14 points in the first quarter, has scored 5 points less than Link since the second quarter.

"Link scored again, and he was simply unstoppable today! There is no doubt that Link brought all his momentum in the dunk contest to Madison Square Garden! 20 points in a single quarter, this will be another great performance of the garden! The Knicks are 11 points behind the Grizzlies, and no one knows what kind of data Link will win today!"

After this goal, Mike Woodson had to stop the game. When a player can score under double-team of two people, it means that no tactics will work for him.

The only thing Woodson can rely on now is Anthony's scoring performance that is more explosive than Link.

From the beginning of the game, Woodson has always had this one way.

But Woodson's only hope Anthony just walked off the court panting, his eyes a little depressed.

In the last game, Link scored 32 points in a single game, and Anthony still won the victory.

He thought that no matter how good Link was in this game, he could be at most about 30 points. Unexpectedly, Link scored 30 points in the first half!

30 points in the game and 30 points in the half... This suddenly doubled the offensive firepower, making Anthony's confidence slightly destroyed by Link. Today, he tried his best to defend Link, but it was still useless.

Anthony knew that he was powerless to stop Link today. But compared with Link, he scored? Anthony didn't have confidence either!

It is not easy for him to score 11 points in the defense of Tony Allen. However, 11 points in a single quarter are completely incomparable to Link's 20 points in a single quarter.

If the situation continues to do so in the second half, Anthony cannot imagine how passive the Knicks will be.

On the other hand, Link, who scored 30 points and 6 assists and 4 rebounds in the first half, looked relaxed. Facing the Knicks' not very strict defense, Link didn't feel that he was doing much.

He still has enough strength to perform equally well in the second half.

So in the last two minutes of the second quarter, Jogel asked Link to rest for a while off the court.

He needs to let Link save some energy, but not just for victory, the victory of this game is already a handy thing for Joggel.

He kept Link physically in hopes that Link could do something that once great superstars had never done before.
Chapter completed!
