shots made 16, and scored zero in 4 consecutive games! But Harden is really right. He is worthy of 33 million in 3 years and
Philadelphia 76ers plays Brooklyn Nets at home. Veteran PJ Tucker plays 37 minutes and 04 seconds in the game, making 0 6 shots, 0 three-pointers and 0 free throws. In the end, his data is 0 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 0 blocks. When we see such a data, do we feel that Tucker's performance in this game is a bit bad? He looked at his performance on the offensive end and didn't get a single point. But he didn't know that the plus or negative value of this game was +12, ranking second in the team. This means that Tucker made an indelible contribution to the reason why the 76ers were able to defeat the Nets led by Durant while the three giants Embiid, Harden and Maxi were absent at the same time!
According to statistics, 0 scores in this game are the fourth consecutive game PJ Tucker scored zero, so he has also become the longest consecutive game record in NBA history to play at least 25 minutes and still score 0 points. Although Tucker inadvertently set an extremely embarrassing record, it did not affect his position in the team and his positive role in the game. So far in his career, PJ Tucker has not been a good player who is good at data, and the data cannot fully reflect his stadium value. The reason why he still enjoys a place in the league at this age is definitely because of things outside the data.
In our impression, PJ Tucker has always been a tough guy image. From the inside panacea during the Rockets to helping Antetokounmpo win the championship last year, PJ Tucker's tough defense is impressive. Even though he is less than two meters tall, he can often make people 2.10 meters long extremely uncomfortable on the defensive end. In the Eastern Conference semifinals last year, without him giving Durant a candy bite, it would be difficult for the Bucks to laugh to the end in that series! It was his tireless consumption of Durant that allowed Antetokounmpo to gain advantage in the matchup with Durant, thus leading the team to eliminate the Nets and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals and eventually reach the finals and win the championship.
This year's offseason, PJ Tucker, who jumped out of his contract and became a free agent, has been enthusiastically pursued by many teams. But he eventually chose to join the Philadelphia 76ers for 33 million in three years. The reason is naturally related to the recruitment of former Rockets teammate James Harden. It is no exaggeration to say that the reason why Tucker chose the 76ers was based on Harden's brotherhood, otherwise he could have completely chosen to join other teams!
Season so far, Tucker averaged only 4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.7 steals, 0.4 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 49.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40.7%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 74.9%. Indeed, his personal data is quite mediocre, but he is completely worthy of the three-year, 33 million contract he received from 76 people. Because many nights in Philadelphia are like tonight, even if he scores zero points, he can contribute elsewhere, thus helping the team win the final victory of the game! He is the brother recruited by Harden and will never drag the team down.
