On February 16, Beijing time, there are only 3 games in today's NBA, and some interesting data and milestones have been born, let's take stock together: Kerr ushered in his 500th victory in the regular season, Klay Thompson's career total points exceeded 15,000 points, and Rivers lost 7 of the first 10 games in charge of the Bucks.
Kerr won 500 regular-season games in his coaching career
First: Cole wins 500 in the regular season
Today, the Warriors narrowly defeated the Jazz 140-137, won 6 of the last 7 games, and ranked 10th in the West, and head coach Kerr ushered in the 500th victory of the regular season in his coaching career, with an overall win rate of 65.4%, and is also the 5th fastest head coach in NBA history to reach 500 wins. Kerr has been coaching the Warriors since 2014-15, and despite his ups and downs, he has led the Warriors to build a dynasty that belongs to Golden State, winning four championships, 14-15, 15-16, 16-17, and 17-18. Although Kerr is now questioned, his position in the Warriors is still stable.
Second: Clay career 15,000 points
In today's game, Klay Thompson came off the bench and played 28 minutes, making 13 of 22 shots, 7 of 13 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws to contribute 35 points and 6 rebounds, and his career total points exceeded 15,000 points, and 35 points were also his new high this season. This season's Klay has been up and down due to injuries and age, and has also received a lot of criticism, but today his hand has warmed up, especially in the third quarter, with 6 of 7 shots, 4 of 5 three-pointers, and 18 points and 2 rebounds, allowing fans to see Klay at his peak. Clay said he wanted to prove it to his coach and that he would respond like a champion.
Clay Milestones
Klay is 34 years old, and as a top shooter, he takes his shots to the extreme. Now in the late stage of his career, he naturally can't escape the urging of the old man of time, his state is declining, his hand feeling is not good, and the outside world is questioning. But he still fought tenaciously, refused to admit defeat, and gave his all in every match.
Third: Rivers coached the Bucks with 7 losses in 10 games
Rivers' coaching of the Bucks didn't go well
The Bucks couldn't avoid a losing streak before All-Star Weekend, losing 110-113 to the Grizzlies. Lillard's late game was a disaster, shooting 1-of-8 from the field, 0-of-4 from three-point range, making just one field goal and committing two turnovers. You can't blame any one player for the team's loss, and you can't blame all the blame on the head coach, but we have to say that after Rivers took over, the Bucks seemed to have become more chaotic, winning less and losing more, in addition to losing to the Grizzlies, but also losing to the Heat, Timberwolves, Suns, Jazz, Trail Blazers, Nuggets, and no advantage in the face of Western teams. Rivers is the coach who has won a championship, and the Bucks are aiming for a championship, and they have to find the right chemistry.
