The state is picking up again! An old acquaintance with the Rockets performed phenomenally again after a few games of silence?

In a previous NBA Development League game, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, an affiliate of the Houston Rockets in the NBA Development League, defeated the Memphis Grizzlies at home, 110-107. After this game, the Rio Grande Valley Vipers' record improved to 3 wins and 2 losses; while the Memphis Fighting record dropped to 3 wins and 5 losses.

In this game, the performance of the Vipers' starting point guard Daishen Nix improved somewhat. The Knicks played for 43 minutes and 7 seconds, making 9 of 22 shots, 4 of 10 from beyond the three-point line, and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored a game-high 34 points plus 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks, which also included 4 offensive rebounds, 5 turnovers, and 5 fouls. The plus/minus value also reached +10. The Knicks still showed a relatively comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. He also scored a lot of points through various methods. His touch on outside shooting has also recovered. The Knicks' performance on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition. His defensive contribution has also improved a lot, which has produced very good results. Of course, if the Knicks can control their turnovers and fouls, his performance can be even higher. But overall, his performance has been quite good, and he is also a key figure in the team's victory.

Since the start of this season, the Knicks have averaged 40 minutes per game in the first five NBA Development League games, averaging 28.4 points, 5 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 2.4 steals and 1 block per game, as well as 4.4 turnovers and 4.4 fouls. They shot 41.2% from the field, 38.1% from the three-point range, and 81.3% from the free throw line. The Knicks scored a crazy 45 points in the team's loss to the Oklahoma City Blue, an affiliate of the Oklahoma City Thunder, in the first game of the season. However, in the next few games, his performance plummeted, his offensive efficiency became worse and worse, and his role on the court became less and less than expected. Unexpectedly, in this game, the Knicks' performance improved again, and he finally had another offensive and defensive performance.

Rockets fans must be quite familiar with the Knicks. He once played for the Rockets for two seasons, but his overall performance was a mess with no bright spots. He's been just as bad with the Minnesota Timberwolves the past two seasons. After being waived by the Timberwolves last season, he returned to the Vipers, and his performance after returning was also unsatisfactory. The Knicks' performance has improved to a certain extent this season. He can play a decisive role in some games and produce very gorgeous statistics. However, his stability on the court is still slightly worse. Of course, if the Knicks can often produce such amazing statistics, we have reason to think that he may attract the attention of some NBA teams?
