Although the free throw line is still outrageous, the Knicks inside player has improved significantly

In the previous NBA Eastern Conference semi-finals G2, the New York Knicks once again completed a shocking comeback, defeating the Boston Celtics who played at home again 91-90. After this game, the Knicks also unexpectedly won two consecutive away games, and led the defending champion Boston Celtics with a total score of 2-0, gaining an absolute advantage in this round of series.

In this game, the performance of Knicks' substitute center Mitchell Robinson is impressive. Robinson played 22 minutes and 19 seconds in the whole game, made 3 of 5 shots and 0 of 1 free throws, and scored 6 points, 8 rebounds and 3 steals, including 3 frontcourt rebounds and 2 turnovers, and the plus and negative value reached the highest +19 in the game. Robinson showed a certain ability to score at the basket on the offensive end and got a certain score, even if he was shocked at the free throw line again. The most important thing is that Robinson's performance in the front and back rebounds was also quite outstanding. Robinson's personal defensive ability is fully reflected. His defensive coverage is very positive, his personal defensive ability is extremely outstanding, and his contribution to the defensive end is obvious to all. The plus or negative value of +19 can also fully prove that the team's situation is also very good when he is on the court, which can also be reflected in his super high plus or negative value, and he has also made great contributions to the team's victory.

In the NBA regular season this season, Robinson was affected by injury and played 17 games in 82 games, averaging 17 minutes per game, with averaging 5.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 1.5 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 66.1% and a free throw percentage of 68.4%. In the playoffs, Robinson averaged 17.8 minutes in the first eight games, with averaging 3.9 points, 6.1 rebounds, 0.1 assists, 1 steal and 0.5 blocks, and 0.8 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. He shot 52.2% from the field and 26.9% from free throws.

Robbins' performance in the regular season was very average, and his playing time was very limited. In fact, his performance on the court in the previous few games of the playoffs was also very unsatisfactory, and he also failed to show his due strength. Unexpectedly, in this game, Robinson's performance was so outstanding and achieved such good results, which was far beyond everyone's expectations and imagination. It seems that Robinson is gradually adjusting his form. If this inside player with excellent defensive skills can maintain this level, the Knicks' prospects in this round of the series are really exciting.
