Rivers had a poor record in his first four games in charge of the Bucks, with just one win and three losses. He was reversed on the road against the Trail Blazers and then again at home against the Jazz, making Rivers the regular season reversal"Bitter Lord"。
Rivers is one of 15 coaches in NBA history and one of only a handful of 1,000 coaches to come, so he's popular in the league. He led the team to a championship when he coached the Celtics, and the Clippers compensated for giving the Celtics a first-round pick in order to coach Rivers.
Still, the Clippers fired Rivers after some time, and the 76ers quickly hired him for **. Last summer, Rivers lost his job, but after only half a year of inactivity, he was hired by the Bucks as the team's head coach.
Rivers has been through multiple reversals in the playoffs, having twice been reversed by opponents with a 3-1 lead during his time with the Clippers, so he has been"Famous scenes"One of the founders. Now, Rivers has experienced a similar situation in the regular season, where he suffered two comebacks in just four games in charge of the Bucks, which has brought his famous scene back on.
However, Antetokounmpo's outstanding performance did not help the Bucks win the game. Before the end of the game, Antetokounmpo went straight back to the players' tunnel, which showed his dissatisfaction with the team and Rivers. If he loses faith in Rivers, it will be difficult for him to remain the head coach of the Bucks.
Rivers' on-the-spot command as a coach does have some shortcomings, especially when it comes to decision-making in key moments. He didn't give Lopez Jr. more playing time and didn't make effective moves to deal with his opponent's reversal. In this case, his coaching ability has been questioned. In addition, the Bucks themselves have some problems.
The defensive ability of the back line is insufficient, the defensive ability of Middleton in the forward line is reduced, and the bench strength is not strong enough. None of these issues can be solved by a single coach alone, and it takes the efforts of the whole team to improve. Overall, Rivers may not be a good fit for the Bucks' coaching position, and his coaching ability is lacking in the face of adversity.
The Bucks need to take a holistic look at their problems and adjust accordingly to get out of their current predicament.
