Seven Hundred and Eighteen: Superstars Who Can't Make the Playoffs

Although the slam dunk contest has ended, fans are still fond of last night's game until the All-Star Game arrives.

At the introduction ceremony of the All-Star starters, this year's All-Star vote king and slam dunk contest winner Link received the highest cheers.

All the fans were crazy because of Link's appearance, and he seemed to be the biggest star in this All-Star Game.

"Next time, the NBA All-Star Game may be considered in the stadium. Because the stadium can only accommodate more than 10,000 people, it is obviously unable to satisfy Link's popularity!" Mike Brin, who commented on the game, praised without hesitation. Link.

He didn't think anyone would argue against him on the subject, and Link might be the most popular All-Star player of the 21st century. Listening to the cheers at the scene, you know that his popularity is beyond doubt.

After Link played, he deliberately took the initiative to give his All-Star teammate Durant a high five, "Kevin, did you watch my slam dunk contest yesterday?"

"No, I'm not interested!" Durant replied arrogantly.

"No, you saw it, you must have seen it."

"No, I didn't, I didn't watch it!"

"You must have watched it. You were not surprised when the highlights of the dunk contest were shown on the big screen. If you watched it for the first time, you would not be so calm. So, you must have watched it secretly last night!" Link With a smile, he is still very confident about his dunk yesterday.

A slam dunk contest that can scare Jordan out of his jaw, it's impossible not to stun Kevin Durant.

Durant was speechless and at a loss for words. Before he could figure out how to refute, the game had already started.

This year's All-Star Game is similar to the previous years. Everyone is performing to their heart's content, and there is not much confrontation.

As soon as Link gets the ball, the fans at the scene will collectively climax, hoping that Link can continue his dunk performance in the All-Star Game.

Link also lived up to the fans' expectations. In the second quarter, he had 5 dunks in a single quarter. Although the dunk action is not as exaggerated as in the slam dunk contest, it can be regarded as a feast for the eyes of the fans.

This year, the East Army finally defeated the West Army by 5 points. However, Link didn't care about winning or losing the All-Star Game.

When the young Kelly Irving won the All-Star Game MVP trophy, Link was even happy for him.

After all, what is an All-Star MVP? As the finals MVP winner last season, Link's goal this year is the regular season MVP!

The All-Star MVP is a small award with low gold content, let the young people take it to comfort themselves.

Overall, nothing impressive happened in this year's All-Star Game. Therefore, Link's dunk contest has become the symbol of this All-Star.

When interviewed after the All-Star Game, Link was still the most popular star among reporters, even Irving, the All-Star MVP, could not match.

Link was also very calm during the interview, not angry because he lost the game,

It was precisely Carmelo Anthony, who won the game today and broke the record for three-point shooting in a single game in the All-Star Game, when he was interviewed, he looked extremely anxious.

"Cameron, congratulations, you have completed a perfect performance today. You must be very excited to make 8 three-pointers in a single game and break the single-game three-pointer record in the All-Star Game. But after tonight, everyone has again It's going to be a brutal regular season. Do you think the Knicks can make a difference with the remaining two months?"

Hearing reporters ask about things related to the regular season, the smile on Anthony's face disappeared instantly.

As the second in the Eastern Conference last season, as the team that reached the conference semifinals last season. The New York Knicks have had a 20-32 record this season with little change in the lineup this year!

Currently, the Knicks are only tenth in the Eastern Conference, not even in the playoffs!

For a team with a superstar like Anthony, the Knicks' record is undoubtedly disappointing.

You know, the amount of luxury tax paid by the Knicks this year is second only to the Brooklyn Nets in the same city, ranking second in the league. These two money-spending teams in New York are further proof to the world that you can't build a great team by writing checks alone.

Anthony is very anxious now. He finally enjoyed a perfect weekend. He didn't expect that the weekend was not over, and he was instantly pulled back into the mess of the regular season.

"We haven't given up on this season yet, and I'm sure we'll come back strong in the last two months. We were second in the East last season, and we haven't had much personnel changes this year. So, we still have a postseason. The strength of the game."

After being stunned for a few seconds, Anthony squeezed out a smile and replied to the reporter.

"Even after the All-Star Game, your first opponent is the Memphis Grizzlies, do you think so?" The reporter didn't give Anthony a chance to breathe, and immediately gave Anthony another crit.

After the All-Star break, the Knicks' first game was at home against the Grizzlies.

Anyone would be nervous against the last team that was on its way to breaking the 72-win record.

But Anthony couldn't show it even if he was nervous. He said leisurely, "Don't forget, one of the few 4 games the Grizzlies have lost this season is a gift from us."

Anthony hasn't forgotten that the Knicks beat the Grizzlies in late December. Link scored 32 points that game, but the Knicks still narrowly won by 4 points.

However, just after Anthony said this, he felt even more uneasy.

Ran a grizzly once... which seems to make the grizzly more dangerous.

Anthony couldn't help looking at Link, who was being interviewed on the other side, and clenched his fists.

In the playoffs, he must play. Anthony came to New York for the money, but that doesn't mean he's willing to give up honor completely.

From now until the end of the regular season, if the Knicks want to make the playoffs, they must try to win every game as much as possible.

Even against the Memphis Grizzlies!

Since Link scored 32 points last time, the Knicks can still win. This time, why not?

Carmelo Anthony doesn't want to be Link's background. Link is indeed the most dazzling player in this All-Star Weekend, but now that the All-Star Game is over, let's make the war more brutal!

After Anthony answered, he silently turned and left the arena.

The Knicks have fallen into such a situation this season, and Anthony is also very unwilling. After all, he is also a superstar! It's ridiculous for a superstar to have to worry about the playoffs!

Anthony has made up his mind, no matter what, he will fight Link to the end!

※※※

Link, Conley, Randolph and others rushed directly from New Orleans to New York to join the team.

Jogel and Link's teammates thought it would take at least a few days for Link to recover from his All-Star weekend success.

After all, being looked up to by the whole world and making NBA stars drop their jaws in shock is not something that everyone can do.

Who is not obsessed with success? What's more, it was such a sensational success.

But Link's state after returning to the team surprised everyone. Because Link didn't mention the All-Star Game at all, but quickly threw himself into the preparations for the regular season.

Even in training, Link did not slack off.

Arguably, he's recovered better than his teammates who didn't make the All-Star break.

Vogel was a little puzzled at first, how could Link be so concerned about the Knicks, who were only tenth in the East.

But when he remembered that the Knicks had won the Grizzlies once, he understood everything in an instant.

Anthony was right to worry, having beaten the Grizzlies, which would make their situation even more dangerous.

Madison Square Garden has always been a basketball mecca, not just because of the Knicks, but because the arena has produced so many great records.

Bryant's 61-point night at Madison Square Garden on February 2, 2009, is still fresh in memory.

On March 28, 1995, the Knicks vs. the Bulls. Since Jordan's comeback, his scoring ability has been questioned. And it was at Madison Square Garden that Jordan proved that he was still the best player with a shocking 55 points.

There is never a shortage of topics here, never a shortage of records. Seeing Link's state of being so good, Dave Jogel couldn't help but start to fantasize.

Will there be another classic battle at Madison Square Garden on February 18?

After shocking the world in the slam dunk contest, Link doesn't seem very satisfied...
