The NBA regular season continued, with the Heat losing 94-105 to the Cavaliers, but Heat veteran Tucker performed well. He had 23 points, 9-of-15 shooting and 5-of-8 three-point range to play his best game of the season.
It's worth noting that Tucker is once again playing well from beyond the three-point line. Tucker's three-point performance has been good since the start of the season. Currently, he's shooting 44.7 percent from three-point range this season, a career-high. At the same time, he can also shoot 1.2 three-pointers per game, which is very stable.
At the same time, Tucker's performance on the offensive end is also improving. This season, he has averaged 7.4 points per game, setting a new high in the last six seasons.
In terms of shooting percentage, Tucker has reached 50.3% this season, which is also a career high. After switching to the Heat this season, Tucker, who has always been known for his defensive fierceness in the past, has allowed more people to see his ability on the offensive end.
Although he is 36 years old, Tucker has proved that he can still play. He was traded to the Bucks by the Rockets last season and released by the Bucks after helping the Bucks win the championship, but that's not Tucker's problem. Although neither the Rockets nor the Bucks are willing to pay him a high salary, tucker has performed well in both offense and defense for more than a year, and he is constantly proving that his sword is not old.
In previous victories over the Nets led by Durant and Harden, Tucker had 15 points and seven rebounds, and 3-of-5 from three-point range. Against the Lakers, he had 10 points and 13 rebounds, and his performance was still good. James missed that game, but both Westbrook and Davis played for the Lakers.
Such a tucker is undoubtedly awe-inspiring. During his years in the NBA, he didn't earn more than $10 million per season, but his contributions on the court far exceeded those of many well-paid players.
Tucker has only been paid $7 million this season, but his performance has far exceeded $7 million.
