The 76ers coach Doc Rivers was interviewed recently. In the interview, Rivers was asked about Ben Simmons’s shooting, and Rivers’ answer was very interesting. Rivers said he would not worry about Simmons’ shooting at all because he Just coached Paul George this season.
“I don’t worry about Ben Simmons’ shooting. I’m ready because I just coached George last season.” Rivers said.
After the rematch in the closed campus last season, George’s shooting appeared to be very struggling in many games, and in the end the Clippers were also in the series against the gold nuggets and were brought back 3-1 with a 3-1 lead. Rivers’s remarks clearly meant something.
It is worth mentioning that in the previous interview, George once questioned Rivers’ tactics. George said that Rivers’ tactics were designed for shooters. He was treated as Ray Allen under the arrangement of Rivers.
Of course, in any case, if you talk about three-point shooting ability alone, George is better than Simmons. Since Simmons entered the league, he has only shot 24 three-pointers in four seasons and made only two at the same time.
In this offseason, Rivers dismissed class from the Clippers, but he immediately reemployed with the 76ers under a five-year contract. Although last season’s record in the Clippers was not ideal, Rivers is a champion coach after all.
