KG: Lao Li is too smart and his understanding of tactics is at the top. Our basketball philosophy is completely consistent.

August 16th News Recently, Celtic legend Garnett participated in the Bucks' official podcast and talked about his mentor, Old Rivers.

He said: "To be honest, Old Rivers is perhaps one of the smartest people I have ever met. He can always say something incisive, and he seems to have all kinds of golden sentences in his mind, and he will suddenly throw it out to wake you up. He is definitely a 'chess control'. In the NBA, he is one of the mentors I truly recognize and can stimulate people's potential. When we talk about basketball tactics, his understanding of those tactical details has reached the top level."

"And, Lao Li is really a very special coach. If you don't have real enthusiasm for basketball, have no deep understanding of the game, and want to talk to him about those advanced tactics, then you must be an actionist. You can't just sit in his office and talk about what you want to do - at a certain point, he will definitely take out the tactical board and be serious, hoping that you can really take action and turn the goals you mentioned into reality."

" So Now seeing him encountering difficulties in the NBA today, I really feel that the reason lies with the players. Not every player can adapt to his system, nor does every player fit his style. Rivers is a very tough guy. He hopes that the team can focus on defense for 48 minutes of the game, drag down the opponent with this high-intensity confrontation, and then score - that's that simple and direct. He is the kind of coach who is really focused on the game, and I like such a coach. The passionate spirit of my playing basketball is consistent with the way he looks at the game. Our understanding of basketball is very similar, almost in the same frequency. "

" So, I will basically support everything he does. Of course, not everything is agreed with - after all, no one is perfect. But to be honest, he is like a family. No matter when, as long as he needs my support, I will definitely be by his side."
