On the 1st, Beijing time, the NBA Knicks relied on Anunoby's winning three-pointer and finally defeated the Grizzlies 114-113 on the road. According to "SNY", this is also the first season appearance of the Knicks penalty area titan Robinson, who grabbed 5 rebounds in 12 minutes and contributed on the defensive end, becoming an important factor in the Knicks' victory.

At the final critical moment of the game, Bridges' defense forced Grizzlies No. 1 Morant to miss a layup, while Robinson successfully stuck under the basket to block Grizzlies elder Yaldama's rebound and seal the win for the Knicks.

Robinson underwent ankle surgery last May and finally returned to action on the same day after nearly 10 months of rehabilitation. Although he didn't start this game, he scored 6 points, 5 rebounds, and 1 assist in 12 minutes off the bench, and his plus/minus was as high as +11, a game-high plus/minus.

Despite Robinson's long absence from the game due to injury in the past, Hippodo chose to keep Robinson on the court in the final moments of the game, believing that his defense would help his team win the game. Robinson said of Hippodor's decision, "He trusted me, and after 10 months of suspension, he still put me on the pitch to defend in key moments, which means a lot to me and shows that he still trusts me." ”

"Robinson's return was a big boost for us, grabbing five rebounds in 12 minutes, which was fantastic. His presence gives the team a different face. Knicks head coach Hippodor said after the game.

Hippodo added: "He was really good for the first game of his comeback. He's been very good at pick-and-roll, rim protection and rebounding, and his presence has helped us create space, and the more space we can play, the more fluid the offense will be, and that's important for us. ”
