Professional first round game owner! 11 wins and 10 losses, Rivers became the first round loss king, Antetokounmpo discusses going to and stay

118-119, the Bucks were reversed by the Pacers in overtime and were officially eliminated in the first round. Antetokounmpo's super triple-double score of 30+20+13 was still unable to make up for the day. What is more shocking than losing is that the Bucks coach Doug Rivers once again set an embarrassing record because this is the 10th time he lost the first round of the playoffs in his coaching career, and his first record in the first round was 11 wins and 10 losses, becoming the first coach in NBA history to "lose in doubles in the first round".

This season, the Bucks once again used Antetokounmpo and Lillard as their super dual cores, with the goal of directly targeting the championship. However, Rivers' arrival cast a shadow on the team's playoff prospects. As expected, in the first round, the Bucks lost 1-4.

According to statistics, Rivers entered the playoffs in a total of 21 times in his coaching career, including 11 of which passed the first round and 10 of which were eliminated in the first round, with a winning rate of barely half.

What's more ironic is that among his only 11 first-round victory, 5 times from the Celtics' "Big Three" period, 3 times from the Clippers' "Air-Cross City" era, and 3 times from the 76ers Embiid + Simmons combination. In other words, Rivers' success relies almost entirely on superstars rather than tactical systems.

Rivers' "reversed" attribute has long been famous in the league. He has set:

7 leads 3-2 and is reversed (first in history)

10 loses the tiebreaker battle (first in history)

32 loses the final series match (first in history)

This time, he was eliminated by the Pacers 1-4, which is just the latest footnote to his "first round curse". What is even more despairing is that the Bucks have paid the salary of three coaches this season (Burdenholzer, Griffin, Rivers) but ended up like this.

It is worth mentioning that this is also the fifth time Antetokounmpo has lost the first round in his career, and his first round series record has reached 4 wins and 5 losses (absent from the entire playoffs due to injury in 24 years). The failure of the Bucks this season will undoubtedly make the management re-examine Rivers' coaching ability, and Antetokounmpo's future stay and departure will also become the Bucks' biggest problem this summer.

According to Shams, Antetokounmpo plans to meet with the team's management this summer, and the two sides will discuss the future of Antetokounmpo and the team.

Then ESPN reporter Jamal Collier said that this is a meeting held by both sides every year, but this time it is different. He was eliminated in the first round in a row, and Antetokounmpo's outstanding performance still cannot lead the team, so the tone of this meeting is also different.

This season, Antetokounmpo played 67 games, averaging 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, with shooting percentages of 60.1%/22.2%/61.7% respectively in the three events.

In the 5 games of the playoffs, he averaged 33 points, 15.4 rebounds, 6.6 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, with the shooting percentages of the three events being 60.6%/20%/69.8% respectively.
