Chapter 1101 [Going to the record, five consecutive games with 50+]
The Lakers and Jazz each asked for their needs, and the transaction was completed very smoothly.
PJ Tucker was very happy when he received the notice of trade and physical examination. He smiled all the way to Los Angeles. He felt that he had no future in playing with the Jazz, and joining the Lakers could win the championship. His position was still in Los Angeles and his exposure rate was higher.
Tucker arrived in Los Angeles on the 5th and underwent a physical examination that day.
He is very healthy, just a little short, naked feet are 193cm tall, and his weight is 111 kilograms. In the small ball era, Tucker was simply a deformity, he is heavier than many centers in the league.
Lakers management staff felt that Tucker was a bit unreliable. He was traded anyway and could only play around with him.
Clarkson was also very happy, packed his bags and went to Salt Lake City to report.
Since Deron Williams left, the Jazz have been weak for many years and have not had the All-Stars in charge.
The core of the team's focus on training is Jabbarri Parker, a striker who does not conflict with Clarkson. Parker still has hidden dangers of injury and was reimbursed last season. I don't know how long I can play this season.
If the Jazz lacks scoring points, Clarkson will definitely get a lot of ball rights, which is in his interest.
Many experts on the Internet analyzed the transactions between the two teams and said that they could not understand why the Lakers wanted Tucker. There were already many swingers in the team, and the one they lacked the most was the substitute organizer.
As long as Guo Xu comes to the Lakers' No. 1 position, no one can be responsible for the organization. However, this is exactly the result that Guo Xu wants, so he has more reason to play more. What should I do if I have a rest early?
Mo Williams and Seth Curry were responsible for dribbling the ball through the half, and then they looked for opportunities to catch the ball and shoot on the outside. Guo Xu and Devin Booker were completed.
At this time, no one was optimistic about Tucker helping the Lakers strengthen their defense, thinking that he was an ordinary player who was scrambling to live in a weak team.
How could it be useless? This is Guo Xu's teammate, and he has always been impressed by Tucker.
It was only when he retired two years ago and Tucker had a contract, so he did not propose that the team trade him as a teammate. This summer, who the Lakers use as bargaining chips is also a question. In addition, he did not expect that the Lakers were so poor in defending pick-and-roll in summer, and they exposed their weaknesses after only four games.
Tucker's biggest advantage is his strong ability to fight, which leads to his frequent playoffs being better than the regular season.
In parallel worlds, Tucker is the toughest person on the Rockets. He relies on his body to fight against Durant, who has two games in the playoffs, which is incredible.
In the 2018 playoff Rockets and Warriors fought seven games, Tucker performed well on both offense and defense, almost eliminating the Warriors. He scored 8.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.8 blocks in that playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 48.1%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 46.7%.
Tucker's role is a bit like the Warriors' Draymond Green. He is so desperate on the defensive end that he is still the only player in the Rockets who are not injured. This is a Predator. He has had a very high attendance rate since 2012 and has only missed nine games, all because of rotation rather than injury. This data is also amazing.
Guo Xu believes that when the team plays small ball tactics, Tucker's cameo as a power forward must be better than the Lakers' existing players. He can also play on the offensive end, with a high three-point shooting percentage in the bottom corner, and is the best 3D.
Tucker first reported to the team to participate in training, and chatted with Guo Xu in the locker room, with the topic surrounding sneakers.
"Jason, I have collected every sneaker of yours. Can I wear your boots during the game?" Tucker asked.
Guo Xu smiled and said, "Of course, don't buy the next sneakers, I'll give you a pair of signatures."
"Really? Thank you."
Tucker's hobby is the "Shoe King" that he has been reported by the media.
He has a special room to put shoes, which are about thousands of limited-edition pairs of sneakers. Secondly, he also wears these shoes to play on the court, with all kinds of limited-edition, first year, pe, and yeezy. Last season, he wore a pair of AJ5 Marion super limited models. Jordan was shocked when he saw it and asked him where he got it.
During the group confrontation, Tyron Lu let Tucker play power forward on the bench, and his performance quickly became eye-catching because he could easily resist Al Horford and keep the opponent away from the basket. The two of them weighed the same, Tucker was much shorter than Horford and was more stable in the lower set.
Tyronlu asked Tucker to defend against others. Except for the difference in size between the center and the size of the center is too big to defend, Tucker can fight against both positions 1 and 4. His speed can also prevent the swaying human face frame and break through, and it is difficult for the main control guard to defend.
Of course, Tucker has met the team's requirements when he encounters a pick-and-roll that is not easily passed by Guo Xu. The coaching staff firmly believes that he is the person the Lakers need most and can make unlimited switches.
Tucker was unable to play against the Nuggets, and the Lakers, who lacked Clarkson, were completely unaffected. Under Guo Xu, he won the Nuggets 110-88 22 points.
Guo Xu played for 38 minutes, scored 50 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, and 50+ in five consecutive games.
Guo Xu completely defeated Dante Essam and Emmanuel Mudier in the Nuggets No. 1 position. These two defenders were so short that Guo Xu couldn't even let go, and they couldn't even get any points in the open shot.
Because Tylawson was drunk, the Nuggets selected defenders in the draft in the past two years, while the two 196cm double-energy guards were both high-ranking parallels. They had no range, no breakthrough, and their defense was average.
Their existence is like to prove how unreliable the NBA scouts' vision is. When participating in the draft, they were both called geniuses, with descriptions such as "high and flexible, good offense and defense, and sharp breakthroughs", as if they were all all-round warriors.
In fact, you can understand the truth by looking at their data from last season before the draft. Essam only participated in the Australian high school basketball championship and led the team to win the championship. Mudie played in the Chinese CBA for a year, and the data was the worst among foreign players.
The Nuggets' number one star is forward Gallinari, who dug up from the Magic, and his shooting percentage is not high. The inside is Mozgov and "Orc" Farid, one high and one fast.
The Nuggets' lineup is so bad. Except for Garynalli, the others have no range in the starting lineup. Even Garynalli is a loser. The Magic focus on cultivating Gordon Hayward and Tobias Harris, so don't want him.
Affected by the butterfly effect, the Nuggets of Earth One are probably at the bottom of the league for a long time. They missed several outstanding rookies and did not pick Nicola Jokic in the second round. He is very important.
It is worth mentioning that Jokic, who was selected by the 76ers, was in great trouble. He was not reused and did not have many opportunities to play. DeAndrew Jordan averaged 35.6 minutes per game, and he was not suitable to play with Jokic.
What's even worse is that the 76ers' substitute power forward is not moving fast, and Jokic has not had a chance to partner with Millsap. In order to strengthen defense, Jokic's playing time has been shortened one step closer, and he can only play about 10 minutes per game, which is about the marginal person.
The 76ers started with 1 win and 5 losses, and they won the opening game with Kobe's final victory.
Komi believes that head coach Brett Brown should bear the main responsibility. He arranged the star tactics, but the role players couldn't pull it away, which led to Kobe being double-teamed. Due to improper tactics, Kobe can only score 22.3 points per game, with a shooting percentage of 36.3%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 28.5%.
