! Multiple accounts have updated and confirmed that the Bucks have hired Doc Rivers as their new head coach, and the salary is not low. This means that the Bucks need to pay the salaries of three coaches this season, namely Budenholzer, Adrian Griffin and Rivers. With such a big deal, the goal is quite clear, which is to win the championship.
In the eyes of domestic fans, because they have seen Rivers' experience of being reversed in the playoffs too many times, they do not understand this signing. Of course, there are many local people who hold the same idea. For example, the famous reporter Bill Reiter revealed that when Rivers became the Bucks coach, CBS Sports received a text message from a team executive that read: "Eastern League The other competitors breathed a sigh of relief." I don't know if it was a joke or a real thing. In short, many people were waiting to see the joke.
According to Rivers' coaching resume, he won 1,097 of 1,860 regular season games, with a winning rate of 59.0%; he won 111 of 215 playoff games, with a winning rate of 51.6%. However, in the playoffs, 32 games that could end the series were lost; 12 series leads were reversed; 7 3-2 series leads were overturned; and 10 tiebreakers were lost. These are all historical records in the NBA, and they are also one of the reasons why fans have great opinions on him. Every time in a key game, the team coached by Rivers will make people feel like something is going to happen.
At the same time, it must be mentioned that Rivers has always been surrounded by many stars, but he has been reversed again and again, which has also left regrets in the careers of many stars. How can fans not hate him? Among them, the Celtics have experienced it three times, but fortunately they have won one championship. Tracy McGrady, Paul, Griffin, Embiid, and Harden all have no championships. They are all superhuman balloon stars, but they are difficult to break through in the playoffs. Rivers naturally has to bear a certain responsibility, so his current reputation is poor. , can be expected.
The Bucks finally chose Rivers. What does this mean? It means that Rivers' job search skills are really strong. Such classic bad moments can be ignored by the Bucks. This is also an ability. Another point is that Rivers definitely has something extraordinary, and his ability to soothe the hearts of stars is very suitable for the Bucks. Many fans must have heard about the conflicts in the Bucks' locker room a few days ago. Antetokounmpo publicly rebuked the defense of some people on the team, and it was also reported that there was a gap between him and Lillard, which triggered speculation about continuing the trade. Judging from the current situation, the solution for the Bucks management is to find a "middle mediator". This position seems to be the most suitable for Rivers.
US media clutchpoints also followed this idea and commented: Antetokounmpo stole James' (2016) script, which may bring another championship to the Bucks. Where to start? During the season that year, Cavaliers head coach Blatt was fired and replaced by Tyronn Lue. In the early days, he was considered to have no tactics at all, but he eventually won the championship. The most important point is that he has handled the connection between James and Irving, which is the Cavaliers' way to win. Now that the Bucks also have twin stars, Antetokounmpo and Lillard are ranked in the top 75, can Rivers unleash their maximum energy? Whether it is a reversal of criticism or an important addition to his coaching resume, we will wait and see. What do you think about this?
