Last year's Eastern Playoffs second round bucks against the nets, is considered to be who won the series who won the championship, the two sides of the war 7 games to divide the winner and loser, aside from the injury factor, the game is still very exciting, although Durant is still unsolved, but it has to be said that Tucker has done the defense to the extreme, at least greatly consumed Durant's physical strength, is one of the biggest contributors to the Bucks to win the championship.
For the Nets, in the middle of last year's season, there was a chance to get Tucker, but tucker's average data per game in the Rockets has fallen to 4.4 points and 4.6 boards, and the three-point shooting rate is only 31.4%, Tucker was 35 years old at the time, may be worried that his state is irreversible, and finally the Nets did not shoot, the Bucks sent the first round of high-roller betting deals to get him, at present, this deal is worth it, Tucker is definitely the best puzzle for the championship-winning team, after the Bucks won the championship, in fact, Tucker is interested in staying in the team The Bucks may also have considered Tucker's age and did not complete the contract extension with him, and finally Tucker joined the Heat for 2 years and 14.35 million.
Heat in the introduction of Lowry and Tucker, to make up for the organizational shortcomings, defensive strength further strengthened, become one of the most powerful contenders for the championship, the team is currently 16 wins and 12 losses in the East ranked fifth, if it is not Butler and Adebayo due to injury missed many games, the Heat's record will be better, and Tucker came to the Heat as always to show the true colors of the Ironman, the current 28 games all started, although the age is one year older, but Tucker's state is not down, but rising, Averaging 7.4 points per game, 5.8 boards and 2.1 assists, the score is a new high in the past 8 years, the second highest assist career, shooting percentage (50.3%) and three-point shooting rate (44.7% league eighth) are career highs, which is simply a rejuvenation.
Especially the recent state is very hot, against the Bucks scored 15 points 7 boards 8 assists 2 breaks, against the Cavaliers is more bombarded with 23 points, 9 boards and 5 assists, the three statistics are the highest in the team, this season Tucker not only three-point shots well, he suddenly developed a small throw in the box, so far this season 27 shots 17, the shooting rate reached 63%, so that his offensive threat further improved, originally thought tucker with age only left the defense, did not expect that he can become stronger on the offensive end, It's still the league's top 3D strength, and his annual salary is only less than 8 million, which is really worth it.
Speaking of Tucker, his career was not smooth, in 2006 the fifth overall pick in the second round was selected by the Raptors to start his career, he played only 17 games in the rookie season, averaging 4.9 minutes per game full water dispenser administrator role, and then was cut off to start a wandering trip overseas, in fact, during the University of Texas, Tucker was also the absolute core of the team, he also has all-round skills, but his physical fitness is not top-notch, cold treatment in the NBA and overseas drift made him realize "single-mindedness" The importance of him, he began to specialize in defense, which also laid the foundation for his subsequent return to the NBA.
Tucker is also a representative of the NBA small people counterattack, in this top league, not every player can grow into a star, want to stand for a long time, you have to find your own positioning, of course, Tucker's professionalism is also very worth learning, I hope he can continue to play a highlight!
