Chapter 399 Tease the Spurs? Sign Tucker(1/2)

Soon, the official website of Chaoshen Group released a news:

"Super God Sports Signs German League Forward PJ Tucker"

"The new spokesperson for Super God Sports: PJ Tucker."

At the beginning, the attention was not high, so some fans in the Super God Forum brought a brief discussion. For example, this was the 35th pick that the Raptors chose in 2006, and then they wandered overseas countries. It was speculated that this was the kind of signing of Super God Sports, who was responsible for the European market.

But with the emergence of a title party of the unscrupulous media, Jiang Chao signed PJ Tucker, the number of views increased significantly, and all kinds of fans who only looked at the titles were directly spread:

"The Knicks are signing a new player!"

"Who is this Tucker!"

"196, guard?"

"Forward! Jiang Chao signed it!"

This wave of popularity was unreasonable for being exploited by unscrupulous media. Fortunately, President Yang quickly spread rumors on the Super God Forum and reminded fans to see the content clearly.

There is no reason to ask the other party to delete the post, because the content of the person did not mention the Knicks signing Tucker... To be honest, the title is not wrong. The evil title party is too strong to lead the pace.

The Knicks player had his eyelids twitched in the last second, and the next second, he saw the content: What's wrong with it?

Beverly: "Scare me!"

The nickname is the strongest 175-year-old little Thomas: "I'm blind, I subconsciously thought I was signing the Knicks..."

David Lee: "I almost read it wrong, too..."

After the storm, everyone thought it was Tucker who was going to open up overseas European markets. After all, they didn’t know what the annual salary was. It was very likely that he would only have 10,000 yuan in annual salary for him to promote it, which was a small matter that was a little bit big.

But just because Super God Sports is involved in the Knicks and Jiang Chao, it has fermented a wave. Lai Shixian is also a shrewd person and directly asked General Yang not to go to other forums to manage the title party posts. There is nothing wrong with this popularity with Super God Sports and Tucker, and it is only beneficial and not harmful to selling shoes.

However, what I really noticed was that I thought hard all night and didn’t guess the GDP of the person Jiang Chao wanted to recommend.

It turns out that what Jiang Chao said about reading news is what he meant!

It's not considered a snippet, it's just a bit awkward. It's a signed player from Jiang Chao, but it's not playing under Jiang Chao's team...

The three saw this news early in the morning, and other insiders may have smiled, but the three of them went directly to ask Spurs scout Paul Hank to get the scout report from PJ Tucker.

After reading it, I went straight to @Jiang Chao in the group.

Ginobili: "You mean this PJ Tucker???"

Parker: "Boss Jiang, is this guy? The player you recommend."

Duncan: "Are you sure? I don't mean to question it, if you are sure it is him, we will recommend management now."

Jiang Chao said something when they looked disbelief:

"It's him. If you want to play in the finals, you'll sign Tucker, which is no worse than Dior."

"OK, call RC!"

"This is a trial training!"

After he finished speaking, he went to write the script.

If it is really successful, it will be a good thing for Tucker and their Super God Sports.

This is not to cultivate opponents to raise tigers, it is definitely the first priority in business attributes. Tucker definitely has a certain playing time and wonderful performance under Popovich. As long as he performs, he will sell more shoes.

But Jiang Chao really likes the Spurs' basketball style, and he also hopes that the last team that comes out of the West is a team led by inside superstars like Duncan, so that it will look good.

However, reality gave him a cruel blow. In the era when Tucker entered the league, the league was very clear about the division of various positions. He was tall and could only defend, but he did not have outstanding dribbling and stable skills. He liked to grab the board position and had no use.

Tucker could only be selected in the second round. In the Raptors' rookie season, he did not get any chance to play, and was even cut by the Raptors early on.

This tough guy from North Carolina had to bow to reality.

He is only 1.96 meters tall, and he lacks absolute speed and his overall athletic ability is not particularly strong. In the league that focuses on physical talent, players like Tucker are very difficult to adapt. He is not enough to play three or four.

That's why Tucker was abandoned by the Raptors. Tucker had to bid farewell to the place he dreamed of and began his own wandering journey in Europe. During the years of wandering, Tucker had been to Israel, Greece, Chariot Kingdom and other countries.

He traveled all over the Mediterranean countries in another way. Such days were destined to be very difficult. When Lai Shixian found him, Tucker himself said that he had actually had the idea of ​​retirement.

And since Super God Sports wants him, he can sell shoes full-time!

This made Lai Shixian so scared that he called Jiang Chao to ask for his opinion. Jiang Chao said directly that you still have a long future. If you don’t play basketball, I won’t sign you.

For this wanderer who once tried to pursue his dreams, when he saw the NBA game on the bus of the chariot team, he thought of his life in a foreign country and getting farther and farther away from his dream, he could imagine how frustrated he felt.

However, for Tucker, basketball is his life and he will never give up.

Tucker, in his previous life, actually returned to the NBA through his own efforts. This year, but was discovered by the Suns to put out the fire after the start of the season, but now Jiang Chao directly introduced him to the Spurs.

This North Carolina tough guy was more mature in the Suns in his previous life. His experience in traveling to Europe allowed him to really learn how to be a good role player and become more familiar with the tactical system. Later, in the Suns, the Raptors got the chance to play.

However, Tucker is still an unknown player. Perhaps what people impressed him the most was that he was beaten by Harden and was beaten by James in the playoffs.

To be honest, if I could really meet the Spurs in the playoffs in recent years, Jiang Chao would also like to see Harden beat Tucker to the final victory.

Tucker's turn in the NBA was in the summer of 2017. Tucker accepted the invitation of his childhood friend Paul, and sacrificed a million contracts to join the Rockets, which was being rebuilt. He may not have expected that he finally completed a counterattack here.

This is also when Jiang Chao paid attention to him in his previous life, and he also knew how strong a defensive player Tucker is.

The Rockets for 2018 should be said to be a strong team at the historical level. If it weren't for Paul's injury, they might have won the championship.

It has to be admitted that Tucker's contribution to this team is unparalleled. Before joining the Rockets, Tucker was a very outstanding defensive player in the league. As a short and strong forward, Tucker's movement speed is indeed not good.

However, he has extremely outstanding lower limb strength, which allows Tucker to put more pressure on the opponent on the field. The infinite defense switching system allows Tucker's weaknesses to be protected and his advantages can be reflected.

In the coaching selection, he lost to Leonard by only one point and failed to enter the best defense team.

Tucker averaged 1.6 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, and the gap with Leonard was not big.

His real defensive efficiency value reaches 1.87 and his defensive victory value reaches 3.0.

Unfortunately, due to the overall defense of the team, some of Tucker's numbers were affected and he was unable to enter the defense lineup, but his defense was indeed quite powerful.

Tucker has excellent defensive awareness. He moves neatly and basically does not lose his position when defending. He is never afraid of physical confrontation. He can be allowed to fight in the inside at a height of 1.96 meters. He has taken the board several times in front of big centers like Howard and Walan.

In the switch to defense, Tucker can also go from one to five. What's more rare is that Tucker's defense is extremely continuous and he has abundant physical strength. In the years of Fire War, he can see Tucker almost play the whole game, maintaining his strong physical strength and constantly rushing to grab.

Fight all kinds of key rebounds, and the more you reach the critical moment, the tougher you become.

Even with Gobert and Antetokounmpo, he would not suffer any losses in the inside line. He averaged 3.8 points per game and averaged 6.8 rebounds per game.

In addition, he averaged 9.4 shots per game, including 4.7 three-point shots in the league. He also used his consciousness to continuously create offensive fouls from the opponent, which ranked fourth in the league.

This is why Jiang Chao thinks Popovich will definitely discover him. The Spurs have always looked at people with defense, and players with good defense can get playing time.

Not to mention that Tucker is so physically weird!

The Rockets Tucker, who later played more than 80 games in three consecutive seasons, and in the 18 playoffs, his average playing time was as high as 38.7 minutes.

At that time, for a 35-year-old veteran, it was too difficult to fight like this. You should know that he played in the No. 5 position many times in the Rockets!

This physical reserve is urgently needed by a veteran team like the Spurs who are not very good at physical fitness. Jiang Chao regrets it now when he thinks about it, as if this guy is also very suitable for the Spurs.

Maybe the effect is better than Dior?

After all, Dior's fast attack is not good, but Tucker's fast attack is fierce, and he rushes to like a beast. He doesn't pursue blocking like James. He just hits you to fight against you. Generally, when a thin backcourt fights him, he basically flies by himself.

Tucker's defense can not only be constantly changed, but also has strong frame protection ability. His explosive power is quite good and his sense of positioning is also very good. With his outstanding strength, Tucker is not a top defender, but his defensive ability is already at a quasi-first-class level in the league's forward line.

He needs to play against the opponent's best players every game. Even Durant said that Tucker's defense at low post is one of the best in the league. When he encounters a player like Tucker, he doesn't want to play back.

Of course, Durant is still a little modest. Tucker is not without problems. His height is the biggest obstacle. When defending the tall inside, it is difficult for the opponent to interfere with him when the opponent's position reaches Tucker. This is also a common problem with the short and strong forward line. But overall, the Raptors were able to give him a contract of tens of millions, and it was his defense, which also shows his ability.

Wait……

Jiang Chao suddenly realized something.

If there is only defense, there is definitely no way to gain a foothold in the league.

What is Tucker's offensive trick??

Three points in the bottom corner!

Also called Tucker's order, it's definitely a dessert place.

Thinking of this, he called out Max:

"By the way, Max, call Tucker and tell him that when he tried the Spurs, he would shoot a three-pointer from the bottom corner!"

"Okay..." Max is still in vain. What is going on? Is it going to trick the Spurs or help the Spurs? I can't figure it out for a while.

During the Rockets era, Tucker was not just a defensive player, he was also a very good three-point shooter.

Due to his height issues, Tucker rarely chooses to score in the inside, and some tip-in are also some.

His main scoring method is three-pointers, which also limits his performance. He is not a scoring player, and he has not scored in double digits in his career.

But he can only rely on three-pointers to help the team more.

Tucker likes two bottom corners very much, which is his main offensive method. He involves defense through Harden and others, and he waits for the ball to shoot at the bottom corner. Tucker threw 109 bottom corner three-pointers in a single season in the 17th season.

He also has three points in other areas, but it is not as accurate as the bottom corner.

He relied on this move to gain a foothold on the offensive end. Tucker averaged 5.9 shots per game in 18 seasons, and 4.1 shots were made in three-pointers. Tucker's offensive philosophy is very suitable for the small ball era. He pursues simple shooting and scores, as long as he dares to shoot.

So Jiang Chao asked him to make a three-pointer in the bottom corner during the trial training, which also increased his chance of passing the trial training.
