The Pacers are focused on it! Will the Knicks let the inside general continue to start next?

Basketball

In a previous NBA playoff Eastern Conference Finals G4, the Indiana Pacers, who played at home, defeated the New York Knicks 130-121. After this game, the Pacers widened the total score of the series to 3-1 and successfully won the match point; while the Knicks were in huge trouble, they were already stepping on the edge of the cliff with one foot.

In this game, the performance of Knicks' starting center Mitchell Robinson was actually not ideal. Robinson played 18 minutes and 50 seconds in the game, made 2 of 3 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 6 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal, including 5 frontcourt rebounds and 4 fouls, and the plus-negative value was lower than the lowest of -20 in the game. Robinson did play a key role in fighting for rebounds in the frontcourt, but apart from that, it is difficult for him to play his own characteristics in other aspects. Robinson lacks sufficient support on the offensive end, which has led to the team being unable to open up space on the offensive end. He also seems to be a little struggling on the defensive end and has not shown his defensive ability. At least in this game, Robinson's performance on the court was not ideal, and his performance on both offense and defense was very limited, which also led to the team's defeat to a certain extent.

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 20 minutes in his first 16 games, with averaging 4.4 points, 7 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.6 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 55.8% from the field and 40.7% from free throws.

Robinson performed well during the playoffs, and he was indeed able to assume a lot of responsibilities on the defensive end, but his performance on the offensive end is indeed a bit average, and it is indeed difficult for him to play a more critical role on the offensive end. Robinson's previous performance was indeed quite highlighted, and therefore, Robinson also got the chance to start in the last two games, and his playing time has also increased significantly. But it is obvious that the Pacers are also making targeted adjustments to the tactics. In this case, Robinson's role cannot be fully exerted, and even some of his weaknesses have begun to be further amplified. I don’t know what adjustments will be made next. Will Robinson continue to play as the first in the next game?
