At this time, the White Devils stepped up, he received a pass from his teammates 1 minute and 25 seconds before the end, broke through to the basket after a false shake, and dunked the ball directly into the basket to stretch the score to 7 points.
This violent dunk made the audience and the commentator at the scene exclaim, and the physical fitness and explosiveness of the white devil were vividly displayed. The White Devils performed well in the G League, but the Rockets did not recall him, and the White Devils' violent dunk also attracted the attention of the NBA community, and the official Twitter of SLAM magazine retweeted the video with the caption: "The White Devils are really crazy!" The White Devils are the second-round pick of the Rockets, who were sent by the Rockets to the Vipers in the G League this season.

His stats are among the best in the G League, and his prowess is widely recognized.
However, the Rockets have never recalled the White Devils and let him continue playing in the G League. The Rockets' move has caused dissatisfaction among many fans, who believe that the White Devils should be given more opportunities to show their abilities in the NBA.
Some Rockets fans posted the data of Jalen Green, another guard of the Rockets, who averaged only 6.2 points per game in the NBA this season, with a three-point shooting rate of only 28.6% and an average of 1.4 three-pointers per game. The Rockets fan wrote: "The White Devils couldn't have been worse than him.
Another Rockets fan said, "We've got to call the White Devils, the Rockets need a pitcher." "The White Devils have the potential to play as a shooting guard, will the Rockets give him a chance? The White Devils are 1.98 meters tall and weigh 95 kilograms, and he has outstanding stature and strength.
His shooting is also solid, especially from three-point range, and his three-point shooting percentage ranks sixth in the G League. He also has good ball-handling and break-through ability, and he can use his speed and explosiveness to easily get out of defense and go straight to the basket.
He's also aggressive defensively, he can defend multiple positions, and he's averaging more than 1 steals and blocks per game. These traits of the White Devils give a glimpse of his potential as a shooting guard.
His height and weight meet the standards of a shooting guard, his shooting and breakaways are also dangerous, and his defense is aggressive. A Houston reporter said: "We're not trying to give up on Jalen Green, it's just that it's time for us to give the White Devils a try.
Another fan in the United States said: "Why is the White Devils still in the G League? I don't see him playing much in the NBA, he's very strong and talented." "There are still a lot of possibilities for the future of the White Devils, and if he can continue to improve his skills and skills, he may be able to become a good shooting guard in the NBA in the future.
It remains to be seen whether the Rockets will give him such an opportunity. However, the White Devil has proven his worth with his performance, and he deserves more attention and support.
