NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

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

"Super God Sports signs German League forward PJ Tucker"

"Super God Sports Newly Added Spokesperson: PJ Tucker."

At first, there was not much attention, but some fans in the Super God Forum brought it up and discussed it for a while. For example, this was the 35th overall pick selected by the Raptors in 2006. After that, he wandered overseas. I guessed that this was Super God Sports.

A small contract signing, the kind responsible for the European market.

However, with the emergence of a headline by the unscrupulous media, "Jiang Chao signs PJ Tucker", the number of views increased significantly, and at the same time, various fans who only read the headline directly spread the word:

"The Knicks signed a new player!"

"Who is this Tucker!"

"196, defender?"

"Forward! Jiang Chao's new signing!"

It is unreasonable that this wave of popularity has been taken up by unscrupulous media. Fortunately, Mr. Yang quickly posted the news spreading rumors on the top of the Super God Forum and reminded fans to read the content clearly.

There is no reason to ask the other party to delete the post, because the content did not mention the Knicks signing Tucker or anything... The title is true to be honest, the evil headline-grabbing rhythm is too strong.

The Knicks player's eyelids twitched one second, but after seeing the content the next second: Harmful... is this?

Beverly: "Scared me!"

Thomas Jr., nicknamed the Strongest on Earth 175: "I was blind. I subconsciously thought I was signing with the Knicks..."

David Lee: "I almost got it wrong..."

After the incident, everyone thought that Tucker was signed by Chaoshen Sports because they wanted to explore the overseas European market. After all, they didn't know what the annual salary was. It was probably just a 10,000 annual salary for him to promote and promote, which is a trivial matter.

But because Chaoshen Sports was also involved with the Knicks and Jiang Chao, there was a wave of fermentation. Lai Shixian was also a smart person and directly asked Mr. Yang not to go to other forums to deal with clickbait posts. This popularity brought Chaoshen Sports and Tucker

There's nothing wrong with it, it's only good for selling shoes and has no harm.

But what I really noticed was that I had been thinking hard all night yesterday and failed to guess the GDP of the three people Jiang Chao wanted to recommend.

It turns out that this is what Jiang Chao meant when he said watching the news!

It’s not really a cut-off, but it’s just a bit awkward. He’s a contract player with Jiang Chao’s company, but he doesn’t play for Jiang Chao’s team...

The three of them saw the news early in the morning, and other insiders might have laughed it off, but the three of them went directly to ask Spurs scout Paul Hank for P.J. Tucker's scouting report.

After reading it, I directly posted in the group @江超了.

Ginobili: "You mean this P.J. Tucker???"

Parker: "Boss Jiang, is this man? The player you recommended."

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

Jiang Chao looked at their disbelief and said:

"That's him. If you want to play in the Finals, signing Tucker is no worse than Diaw."

"OK, let's call RC now!"

"Let's arrange a trial training!"

After he finished speaking, he went to work on writing the script.

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

This is not about cultivating opponents to feed the enemy, but it must be the first priority in business attributes. Tucker will definitely have a certain amount of playing time and wonderful performances under Popovich. As long as he performs, he will sell more shoes.

But Jiang Chao really likes the Spurs' basketball style. He also hopes that the last team in the West will be led by an insider superstar like Duncan, so that it will look good.

As for raising a tiger to create trouble?? GDP is too old in front of the Knicks!

The next day.

Tucker, who had just landed in New York from Tank Country and signed a Super Sports contract, rushed directly to the Knicks home arena on foot after taking promotional photos!!

When Max thought he was going to beg the Knicks to give him a contract, he went directly to the boss's office and hugged Jiang Chao while everyone was stunned and cried:

"Boss, you are my reborn parents!!"

"Hey, hey, hey... If you have something to say, please tell me..." Such a strong man locked himself, and Jiang Chao motioned for him to let go, somewhat dumbfounded.

Only then did Tucker realize that he was too excited and quickly let go.

"What's wrong? Are you satisfied with the sneaker endorsement contract?" Lai Shixian gave Tucker an endorsement fee of 100,000 US dollars a year, which is enough for ordinary product endorsements. After all, Tucker's status is really too small.

"No, the Spurs asked me to go to San Antonio for a trial training. I probably won't have to go back to Europe!!"

"What?" Max shouted directly at the door. This Lai Shixian is not allowed to curse?

Even the Knicks thought Jiang Chao wanted Tucker to develop business in Europe, just like Marbury went to China to promote super-super boots... But what the hell is the United States this time?

Or Spurs???

Have the Spurs taken a liking to this player??

Messina and Marquez were both with the Spurs in 2006, but they had never heard of this incident.

So it's all in the clouds.

But Jiang Chao looked like he had expected it:

"I just said you can find a better job. Go and hope it will bring good news. By the way, take these cans of Longjing green tea and help me give the GDP to Popovich and the others."

"Okay boss!" Tucker held the tea jar in his arms. Although he was a rough guy, he also knew what it meant to give gifts to Jiang Chao...

Oh my god!

It means that the boss of the Knicks and the chairman of Chaoshen Group are introducing him!

Just make it clear to the Spurs, this is the player I introduced, you should treat him well!

This kindness!!!

"I will do my best to promote Super God sneakers, and I can also give Super God Sports some fashion advice on sneakers."

Tucker was also a straight-tempered man. He hugged the tea leaves and left directly like Lu Zhishen, without even saying a word to anyone else...

No wonder you couldn't survive in the NBA at first... After all, the NBA is an emotional society. Unless you have a talent like Allen Iverson, you still need to have some emotional intelligence.

But Jiang Chao likes this character very much. He goes straight instead of going from job to job. He is happy when he is happy and moved when he is touched. And he is so anxious now because he really wants to play in the NBA. For the sake of basketball, he must go to tryout immediately and succeed!

Downey Jr. glanced at the back of this burly man with tattoos: "Boss, are you really going to recommend him to the Spurs?"

"Otherwise? Is it possible to introduce it to the Eastern Conference teams?"

"Yes, so can the Spurs. It must be rough to see him playing like this."

"The main thing is to let him play as soon as possible. Players like him need a platform to shine."

Tucker's career was very unsatisfactory. He can be said to be a model of late bloomer. When Jiang Chao thought of Tucker in his previous life, he would also feel that he did not play long in the league.

In fact, when he got the free agent list given to him by Marks, he didn't know that Tucker had entered the league through the draft in 2006. Like many people, he dreamed of establishing a foothold in the league.

However, reality gave him a cruel blow. In the era when Tucker entered the league, the league had a very clear division of various positions. At his height, he could only be a guard, but he did not have outstanding dribbling and stable skills, and he liked to grab rebounds.

He is stuck and has no use.

Tucker could only be selected in the second round. In his rookie season with the Raptors, he did not get many opportunities to play and was waived by the Raptors early.

This tough guy from North Carolina also 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 a league that focuses on physical talent, it is very difficult for a player like Tucker to adapt. He plays three or four.

Neither is enough.

That's why Tucker was given up by the Raptors. Tucker had to bid farewell to the place he dreamed of and began his wandering journey in Europe. During his wandering years, Tucker visited Israel, Greece, the Kingdom of Chariots, etc.

nation.

He traveled through these countries in the Mediterranean in another way. Such life was destined to be very difficult. When Lai Shixian found him, Tucker himself said that he had actually had the idea of ​​retiring.

And since Chaoshen Sports wants him, he might as well just sell shoes full-time!

This frightened Lai Shixian and called Jiang Chao directly to ask for his opinion. Jiang Chao said directly that you still have a bright future. If you don't play ball, I won't sign you.

For this wanderer who once tried to pursue his dream, when he saw the NBA game on the Chariot team's bus, he thought that he was in a foreign country and was getting further and further away from his dream. This feeling of frustration can be

Just imagine.

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

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

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

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

To be honest, if he could really meet the Spurs in the playoffs in the past few years, Jiang Chao would also like to see Harden beat Tucker for a buzzer beater.

Tucker's turning point in the NBA was in the summer of 2017. Tucker accepted the invitation from his childhood friend Paul and sacrificed his multi-million contract to join the rebuilding Rockets. He may not have expected that he would finally complete his career here.

Counterattack.

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

The 2018 Rockets were a historically strong team. If Paul hadn't been injured, they might have won the championship.

And I have to admit that Tucker's contribution to this team is unparalleled. Before joining the Rockets, Tucker was an outstanding defensive player in the league. As a short and stocky forward, Tucker's movement

The speed is really not good.

However, he has extremely outstanding lower body strength, which allows Tucker to put more pressure on the opponent on the court. The unlimited defensive switching system allows Tucker's weaknesses to be protected and his strengths to be reflected.

In the coach's selection, he lost to Leonard with only one point, and he failed to enter the best defense array.

Tucker can win 1.6 steals, 0.5 blocks, and the gap with Leonard is not large.

His true defensive efficiency value reached 1.87, and the defensive victory value reached 3.0.

Unfortunately, because the team's overall defense had problems, some of Tucker's values ​​were affected and failed to enter the defense array, but his defense was really powerful.

Tucker's awareness of defense is excellent. During the defense, the movement is clean and neat, and he will not lose its position. He never fears the body's confrontation. The height of 1.96 can be released in the inside line.

Pick the board in front of a large center such as tile blue.

In the change of defense, Tucker can also be from five to five. What is even more rare is that Tucker’s defensive continuity is excellent. He has abundant physical fitness. In these years of fire, he can watch

When Tucker was full of the audience, he could maintain a strong physical strength and keep rushing.

The key rebounds of the next time, the harder it is to the critical moment.

Even with Gobel, the inside card positions of the letters will not suffer. When the Rockets, he averaged 3.8 cards on the spot and could win 6.8 rebounds per game.

In addition, he averaged 9.4 interference shooting at 9.4 times, of which 4.7 interference in three -pointers ranked second in the league. He also used consciousness to continuously create opponents' offensive fouls, which also ranked fourth in the league.

This is why Jiang Chao thinks that Popovic can be able to discover him. The Spurs have always been defensive to see people, and the defensive players can get appearance time.

Not to mention that Tucker is weird!

Later, Rockets Tak have exceeded 80 consecutive seasons, and in the 18th playoffs, his averaging time is as high as 38.7 minutes.

At that time, it was not easy for a 35 -year -old old future to fight. It is not easy for him to fight. You must know that he has hit the fifth position many times in the Rockets!

This physical reserve is what the veteran team that is not too good at Spurs is urgently needed. Jiang Chao now thinks that he regrets it so much, as if this guy is also suitable for the Spurs.

Maybe the effect is better than Didio?

After all, Dior's defense fast attack is not good, but Tucker's defense fast attack is fierce, and he rushes like a beast. He is not pursuing a block like James. He just hit you to fight you.

Basically, they all flew by myself.

Tucker's defense can not only be changed, but also has a strong frame protection ability. His explosive power is quite good, and the awareness of the card position is also very good. With his excellent power, Tucker does not belong to the top defensorian, but

His defensive ability is already a quasi -first -class level in the front line of the league.

He needs to oppose each other's best players, and even Durant also said that Tucker's defense in the low position is one of the best leagues. When he encounters such a player, he doesn’t want to memorize his back.

beat.

Of course, Durant is still a little humble. Tucker is not without problems. His height is the biggest obstacle. When the inside of the defensive tall man is, it is difficult for the other party to give him any interference.

It is also a common problem of the dwarf line. However, in general, the Raptors can give him a million contracts at first, and it is his defense, which also illustrates his ability.

Wait……

Jiang Chao suddenly realized one thing.

If there is only defense, there must be no way to stand in the league.

Nach's offensive trick is ??

Three points from the corner!

It is also called Tak Point, absolute dessert.

Thinking of this he shouted Max said:

"That's right, Max, give Tucker a call and ask him to shoot a three-pointer from the corner when he's training with the Spurs!"

"Okay..." Max is still confused. What is going on? Is he trying to trick the Spurs or is he trying to help the Spurs? He can't figure it out for a while.

During the Rockets period, Tucker was not only a defensive warrior, he was also a very good three-point shooter.

Due to Tucker's height problem, he rarely chooses to go inside to score, and sometimes he does tip-ins and the like.

His main scoring method is three-pointers, which also limits his performance. He is not a scoring champion, and he has never scored in double figures in a season in his career.

But he can just rely on one-handed three-pointers to give the team more help.

Tucker likes two bottom corners very much. This is his main method of offensive. He involves defense through Harden and others, and shoots at the bottom corner. In the 17th season, Tucker threw 109 bottom three -pointers in a single season.

He also has three-pointers in other areas, but they are not as accurate as the corners.

He rely on this trick to set a foothold on the offensive end. Tucker's 18th season of 5.9 shots, 4.1 times are three points. Tucker's offensive concept and the small ball era are very suitable.

Just dare to vote.

So Jiang Chao asked him to shoot corner three-pointers during the trial to increase his chances of passing the trial.

Now that I think about it, Tucker seems to be a great player in D'Antoni's system?

In fact, the vice president of Knicks has always been a disciple full of the world. It is a bit unlucky. It is only one step away from the champion each time. Fortunately, Jiang Chao took him so early to win the championship.

Will your beard tremble with anger when you fail to win the championship?

…

2 days later.

There are no surprises.

Tucker called Jiang Chao as soon as he passed his trial with the Spurs:

"Boss, I'm done!"

"Congratulations." Jiang Chao glanced at the pop -up window of his mobile phone, Ya's news didn't come out. This kid was a real monkey. I don't know if it is true for signing and painting.

But the Spurs won't regret it.

Popovich and RC Buford's vision of the future league situation and their accurate vision of players will not change.

Tucker is undoubtedly the forward that every team dreams of, and he is indeed a model of the championship puzzle.

What Jiang Chao never thought was that Tucker's counterattack, in addition to his own hard work, had a great relationship with the changes in the league's environment. The Spurs took this into consideration.

After referring to the Knicks, they also felt that the dual -tower era was almost over.

The previous Tucker could not stand in the league. At that time, he did not play the magic ball like this year's champion Knicks.

Tucker's more vague players were not easy to be valued before the Knicks won, but the Knicks won a lot of answers to many teams.

The front line is very useful!

Just as he encountered the small ball era after he returned from later generations, his characteristics could be played, and the Spurs felt that he could play the role of 10,000 gold oil in the Spurs system.

Popovich's reply to the three of GDP is:

"He can help you with three positions, which can be reduced, yes."

RC Baford: "Ready to give the contract, what does he have to do with you, even recommend it together."

"Harm, what can you do, I watched his video accidentally. This Bhdio didn't get it. He always thought about making a striker before the season." The three played together.

"Yeah!" Parker exhaled, and he was afraid that the old man would waste him for a while and waste his valuable drinking time.

"Boss Jiang has something to do ..." Ginobili lamented that the old man had such a high evaluation of a player who just came.

"Just succeed, we practice him more in the new season." Duncan's eyes were shining. This strong man looks like a play !!

And, why do they think there are plays?

Because the Spurs management does not know that this is Jiang Chao's GDP, they thought it was GDP jointly proposed trial training, but if Jiang Chao suggested, it may be seen with colored glasses, but it will not be so real!

"Regardless of the result, thank you boss Jiang for suggesting!" The three of them went around in the group. This is not an ordinary repeater. This is the re -reader of GDP ...

How many people are worth than these three people ???

Jiang Chao: "Oh."

Soon, an article of ESPN appeared:

"Super Sports Signing Player PJ Tak and Spurs 2 -year contract with Spurs!"

"Insider? Go back the back door? Jiang Chao's player signed the Spurs again!"

Still Shengcheng Daily is the most reliable:

"6.59 million in 2 years, PJ Tak returns to the NBA, we will wear a spare jersey next season!"
