Rivers made his career debut as a Bucks coach, losing 107-113 to the Nuggets.
But there is no shame in this, after all, it is only the first game of coaching, and there is always a run-in in the first game, and there is a defending champion opposite, and no team is sure to beat them.
However, the next game against the Trail Blazers, who are second to last in the West, if the Bucks lose again, it is no wonder that the keyboard warrior turns on the merciless taunt mode.
It is worth mentioning that the next game of the Bucks' away game against the Trail Blazers is also the first time that Lees has returned to Portland to play after the transfer.
And although he has left, as long as Leigh returns, he is still the most beautiful boy in Portland, and he is still popular and loved by local fans.
In this regard, Li Gui bluntly said that he would be very emotional to return to the home court of the Trail Blazers, and said that he would like to play for the Trail Blazers one day, but he must first complete the goal of playing for the Bucks.
The meaning is clear at a glance, and Coach Lee intends to return to his old club after the Bucks win the championship, and treat the Trail Blazers as the last stop of his career from beginning to end.
But it shouldn't be possible to trade him, Coach Leigh's contract is too outrageous, and the annual salary for the next two seasons is around $60 million to rebuild the team.
Therefore, if he really plans to return to the Trail Blazers in the future, he will also return as a free agent after his 27-year contract expires, at the age of 36.
Of course, it is also possible to go back early in the summer of '26, provided that Coach Lee voluntarily gives up his $63.23 million annual salary for the '26-27 season.
At the same time, it means that Coach Lee and Brother Alphabet have 4 seasons in the Bucks' cooperation to win the championship, which is actually a long time.
Not to mention something so far away as 4 years, maybe they won't be able to win the championship this year and next year, and the two will have to break up.
So far, the Bucks are second in the East with 32 wins and 15 losses, but they have been opened up by the Green Army at 37-11, followed by the Knicks with 31 wins and 17 losses.
Coupled with poor defense, and most importantly, the new coach is Rivers, who has the title of the king of reversals, so that the Bucks' championship prospects this season are not optimistic.
A CBS reporter broke the news that after learning that Rivers was elected head coach of the Bucks, a team executive sent them a text message: "The other opponents in the East are relieved. ”
