76人记者KylevNeubeck回应了Marc Stein所写到传闻：
Checked in on rumor regarding Morey looking to replace Rivers with D’Antoni. Wa
s shot down instantly by multiple team sources, who noted the job Rivers has don
e this year in strange circumstances in addition to Embiid’s leap under Doc’s
watch
关于76人管理层希望用D’Antoni取代Rivers的传言已经得到证实，但这则消息已被许多消
息人士否认。 他们指出，除了Rivers本赛季将铅笔变身为MVP级别球员之外，他在球队遭遇
多种困难情况时的处理方案也很令人印象深刻。

记者Marc Stein：
Rivers might have a more significant problem to manage than merely tuning out th
e naysayers questioning his presence on the Top 15 list. The conspiracy theory a
lready making the rounds in league coaching circles holds that Sixers president
of basketball operations Daryl Morey will eventually want Mike D’Antoni to take
over in the hot seat for Philadelphia’s new Joel Embiid/James Harden tag team
after D’Antoni’s offensive creativity helped catapult Harden to three scoring
titles in Houston.
除了一些人质疑Rivers出现在联盟15大主教练之外，Rivers又面临一个重要的事情要处理。
那就是目前在联盟教练圈里普遍认为，76人莫雷会希望Mike D’Antoni来接替Rivers成为
球队主教练，之前D’Antoni在进攻方面的执教能力帮助哈登在火箭时期曾3次拿到联盟得分
王。
Rivers certainly must factor into this season’s Coach of the Year balloting for
his role in keeping the Sixers in contention for the East’s top seed throughou
t the Ben Simmons saga, but the pressure on him hasn’t exactly waned with an Em
biid/Harden partnership to sort out and critics prone to reference his three blo
wn 3-1 leads in the playoffs and four home losses in Game 7s far more often than
the championship he won coaching the 2007-08 Celtics.
Rivers当然有资格被提名本赛季联盟最佳主教练，因为他在西门不出战的情况下仍然保有争
夺东区头号种子的竞争能力。但随着铅笔和哈登的合作，Rivers面临的压力并没有减弱，目
前Rivers的那些批评者更喜欢提到他在季后赛多次3-1领先被逆转的经历，而不是在2007-08
赛季率领塞尔提克赢得总冠军。
