Beijing time on January 27, the NBA regular season continued, the Heat vs Knicks, the end of the game heat 110-96 defeated the Knicks, the Knicks at the end of the third quarter of the game has been behind a full 25 points, even if the fourth quarter of the Knicks side opened fire once narrowed the point difference to only 16 points, but then the Heat quickly found their feelings, the Heat beat the Knicks 110-96.
And this game has to praise a person, 36-year-old veteran Tucker, 1 year 7 million US dollars annual salary, until the end of his contract, perhaps he is still one of the most sought-after championship puzzles in the league!
Before Quartark, our last report, journalist Michael Scotto said that in order to avoid taxes, the Blazers may send back Covington, Nance and one of Nurkic's players. Among them, Covington is the most sought-after, the forest, cavaliers, jazz and so on have been offered, and the Bucks are also one of the teams chasing Covington, the Bucks hope that Covington played the role played by PJ Tucker last season.
The Bucks are defending champions, but they really can't do without Tucker last season, especially in the Nets vs Bucks series, Tucker can be said to be the most efficient defensive Durant in the Bucks. In this game against the Knicks, PJ Tucker contributed 20 points and 1 rebound on 7-of-9 and 4-of-6 three-pointers in 22 minutes and 36 seconds, with a plus-minus of +37 on the field, which means that Tucker has a net win of 37 points.
Why is Tucker perhaps one of the league's most sought-after title puzzles? First, Tucker's top defensive ability and awareness, the rocket's five most critical defensive links in the past, averaged 47% of the season's three-point shooting rate per game! There is a super bottom corner three-pointer + super defense, tough guy representative! This is very much needed for teams such as the Lakers and the Nets. Maybe now the Bucks also regret it, really shouldn't let go of Tucker, this season the Bucks' front defense has actually dropped a lot, and what if they meet Durant's Nets in the playoffs? Who should guard against it?
