Recently, there has been a Bucks storm on the battlefield in the NBA, and a series of changes and decisions have put this team in the spotlight. The management of the Milwaukee Bucks quickly signed the controversial Rivers after firing new head coach Griffin, which sparked a lot of heated discussions among fans. This series of moves seems to have put a lot of resources into the Bucks, however, the results have not been satisfactory. Rivers has suffered two straight defeats since Rivers took over, with the most recent game being a big surprise.
Rivers' promotional debut came against the Trail Blazers. The game goes to the last 4Six seconds into it, the Bucks had a chance to tie the score, but were mired in a controversy over turnovers. With trailing by 3 points, Rivers chose to shoot just 60 from the free-throw lineWith 8% of the letters returning serves, this decision made the direction of the match confusing. After the game, Rob Perez questioned why he didn't arrange for a player with three-point range to receive the ball, but instead chose such a seemingly unsafe tactic.
Rivers' explanation for this decision was that if the letter scored the first shot, he could deliberately miss the second shot and go to grab the rebound. However, such an explanation has sparked widespread controversy among fans, because even if a free throw is scored, there is no guarantee that the letter will be able to grab the rebound safely. The Bucks' offensive situation after Rivers took over is also worrying, averaging only 111 per game5 points, which is significantly lower than the previous performance.
It is worth noting that in the final 53 seconds of the game, when the Bucks were one point behind, Rivers set up the tactics, the players gathered around, and the letter was discussing the penalty with the referee, and there seemed to be a miscommunication. The Bucks will face the Mavericks, Jazz and Suns in a row, and fans are looking forward to whether Lao Li can lead the team out of the slump and get the first win.
This series of events has made the future of the Bucks full of uncertainties. The decisions of management, the performance of the new coach, and the tacit understanding between the players will all affect the trend of the Bucks' season. Bucks fans are waiting to see if the team can find a stable rhythm and usher in a better performance in this turmoil. In this unpredictable season, there are still many suspense waiting to be revealed whether the Bucks can counterattack.
