If any player has surprised fans the most in recent games, it may be Knicks veteran Kemba Walker. Previously, Kemba Walker had been DNP by the team and had no chance to play, but due to the team's personnel shortage, he had to be reactivated, which also allowed Kemba Walker to find the opportunity to play, and in the four games he was re-enabled, his performance was perfect!
The first two games had 29 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 21 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, and the third game broke out completely, he cut 44 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, and in the year-end battle, Kemba Walker also got a triple-double! In these four games, Kemba Walker averaged 26 points, 8.3 rebounds and 7 assists per game, playing All-Star level stats!
His play in these four games also made him the second player in NBA history to score more than 100 points, 25 rebounds, 25 assists, 15 three-pointers, and fewer than five turnovers in a span of four games. And only one person before him has done this statistic, and that's Kobe Bryant in 2008!
It can be said that the recent game Kemba Walker did show a star-level performance, which is one of the reasons why the Knicks were able to get back to form. For this Knicks team, in the case of Rose's injury, they really need an old future like Kemba Walker to help the team move forward, and his performance can be regarded as a reward for the trust of the manager!
I believe that with his recent performance, even if the players in the team can all return after that, without injury invasion, he should be able to stay in the team's rotation lineup, his outside shooting ability on the field, passing ability, and control of the game are all young players can not compare, after all, the average of 26 + 8 + 7 players per game, what coach does not want to use it? These four games saved his career and brought him back to the fans' horizons!
