Goodbye Griffin! Congratulations to Lao Li! The Bucks are brewing a big deal, and there is no way back for Brother Alphabet
In the new season, many strong teams in the East and West have risen super, and the road to the championship has become more and more crowded, with the Nuggets, Timberwolves, Clippers in the West, and the Green Army, Bucks, 76ers and other teams in the East all in the championship window. The strength of these teams is evenly matched, and there are more or less shortcomings in the configuration and depth of the lineup, which also makes the league championship pattern have many variables. With the mid-season trade deadline approaching, many teams are looking for opportunities to strengthen themselves, but the Milwaukee Bucks have found another way to complete the change of coach with lightning speed!
Goodbye Griffin
According to official news from the Bucks, the team has officially fired coach Griffin. Griffin, who led the Bucks to a 30-13 record in his short coaching career, was the first coach to be sacked this season and became the most winning percentage of a coach since Cavaliers coach Blatter (30-11) in 2014. Back in the playoffs last season, the Bucks were beaten by the Heat in the first round, and Budenholzer became the backstabber without suspense. No matter how bad Bu Shuai was, he also led the Bucks to win the championship, but the Bucks chose Raptors assistant coach Griffin to become the team's new coach after Bu Shuai left class, a proper NBA rookie coach. Griffin's success in ascending to the position is inseparable from the support and support of Brother Alphabet, and his dismissal from class is naturally related to Brother Alphabet.
According to NBA Hall of Fame Shams, since the loss to the Pacers in the midseason, the Bucks have had doubts about Griffin's coaching ability, and after entering January, the Bucks are 6-5, Griffin's plan on both offensive and defensive ends is difficult to convince, and he even criticized the two giants of Brother Alphabet and Lillard for not passing the ball or letting go, so that Brother Alphabet has completely lost trust in Griffin. Griffin came and went in a hurry, which is enough to show that the NBA is a league dominated by stars. Warriors coach Kerr said bluntly when talking about Griffin's dismissal: It's always surprising to see someone fired, and the league's sense of professional security is not strong; Mavericks coach Kidd also said: This is enough to sound the alarm for all the head coaches in the league! Goodbye Griffin, Brother Alphabet said that you can play, and Brother Alphabet said that if you can't do it, you have to go!

After Griffin's departure, Bucks assistant coach Planty temporarily served as the team's interim head coach. According to US media reports, former championship coach Doc Rivers Sr. will become the next head coach of the Bucks! Lao Li joined ESPN as a commentator with a high salary after being fired by the 76ers, but his appointment as the new coach of the Bucks is by no means groundless. According to NBA Hall of Fame Shams, as early as early December last year, Lao Li assisted Griffin's coaching staff as an informal consultant. Clearly, this was a precursor for the Bucks to familiarize themselves with the team's internal affairs.
Lao Li is one of the most controversial coaches in NBA history, at best, Lao Li has led the Green Army to win the championship, and has also won the Coach of the Year, ranking 10th in NBA history in the regular season coaching games (1860), 9th in NBA history in the number of regular season wins (1097), 4th in NBA history in the number of playoff coaching games (215), and 4th in NBA history in the number of playoff wins (111). To put it worse, Lao Li's on-the-spot scheduling has been questioned, especially in the playoffs, Lao Li holds a number of NBA shameful records - 7 times with a 3-2 lead, 10 times lost the tiebreaker, 12 series reversals, and 32 times lost games with a chance to end the series. In any case, congratulations to Lao Li, he has once again been given the opportunity to coach an NBA team, and this is also his chance to prove himself again.
The Bucks are brewing a big deal, and there is no way back for Brother Alphabet
I don't know if Lao Li can lead the Bucks to win the championship, but one thing is for sure, in terms of experience and ability to make chicken soup, Lao Li can throw off Griffin a few streets. The general manager of the Bucks said bluntly in an interview: "Our team is good, but we need to be better", and Brother Alphabet also made it clear in an interview: The team fired Griffin and made a lot of people feel hurt, but we have to move forward because we have a goal, we want to be the best team. That's right, the Bucks used to be both offensive and defensive, and even if the current Bucks have the third best record in the league, they can't hide the team's struggles and regressions on both offensive and defensive ends.
But then again, the change of coach is only the first step for the Bucks to actively seek change, and if they want to go further, they must upgrade their roster, and they urgently need to improve their outside defense and projection. According to U.S. media reports, the Bucks are brewing a big trade, and Murray of the Hawks, Brown of the Raptors, and Bojan of the Pistons are all targets pursued by the Bucks, and Portis, Connaughton, and Payne will be their trade chips. There is no turning back from the bow, whether it is a change of coach or a change of general, the ultimate goal of the Bucks is to please Brother Alphabet and build a championship team for him, and Brother Alphabet has no way out, and it is a failure to lead the Bucks to win the championship again! Fans and friends, what do you think about this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
