On February 5, Beijing time, the Bucks lost to the Jazz 108-123 away, and the Bucks led by as many as 19 points in this game, with a net minus of 27 points in the fourth quarter. Since Rivers coached the Bucks, the team has 1 win and 3 losses, but Rivers has locked up the position of All-Star Eastern Conference coach! The Celtics are first in the East and the Bucks are second in the East, so why can Rivers coach the All-Stars?
Green Army coach Mazzulla was already an All-Star coach last year, and the NBA rules can't serve for two consecutive years, so he changed to the second head coach in the East this year. Everyone should have the impression that January 23, 2016,Tyronn Lue replaced Blatter as the head coach of the Cavaliers, and then the Cavaliers went 2-1, and Lue coached him to become an All-Star coach in the East!
At that time, many people lamented that Director Lu was lucky. Don't forget, the Cavaliers locked in the first place in the East, and Coach Lu became an All-Star coach. Now Rivers is only 1-3, and the Bucks are second in the East, and he is the All-Star coach with this result, Rivers is lucky. Water the Bucks players' locker room and help Lao Li celebrate!
Why is Rivers standing in the NBA? Why do you get tens of millions of annual salaries in the Bucks? Take a look at the following passage and feel the sophistication of the people in Laoli. Rivers said, "I'll talk to NBA commissioner ShawAdrian Griffin (former Bucks coach) should be the All-Star coach, and the All-Star ring and bonus go to Griffin!
Of course, Griffin won't accept this, after all, he is out of class. Regardless of whether Rivers is sincere or not, he can say that letting Griffin serve as the All-Star coach has already impressed the entire Bucks team. I believe that you have encountered this kind of colleague at work, who has average work ability, but is good at human sophistication, so he can also keep his position.
Rivers is on the way: Get the first win of the Bucks and become an All-Star coach1098th win in coaching career, rising to 8th in NBA history! The top 7 are Popovich (1373), Nelson (1335), Wilkens (1332), Sloan (1221), Riley (1210), George Carr (1175), Phil Jackson (1155).
Former NBA player Rasheed Wallace spent a year with Rivers with the Celtics. Roaring Tianzun recently said: ".Rivers was more of a locker room manager at a time when the Green relied on Thibodeau defensively and Kevin Eastman offensively. Thibodeau is now the Knicks coach, and Eastman later followed Lao Li to the Clippers.
CBS reporter Bill Reiter revealed that when the Bucks selected Rivers to replace Griffin, an Eastern Conference team executive sent Bill Reiter a text message: ".The teams in the East breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the news. Rivers said in an interview: "I love coaching and coaching the Bucks is a huge challenge. ”
Former NBA player Parsons retorted to Rivers: "You even said that coaching the Bucks is a huge challenge. Dude, how talented the bucks are! If you really want to rise to the challenge, coach the Pistons like Monty, or coach the Wizards! "Among these retired players, not many people believe in Lao Li's ability.
Final question: Do you think Rivers can lead the Bucks out of the East?
