In recent months, we've seen the golden boy Rubio leave the basketball court, and then the star Gasol announced his retirement. When it comes to Gasol, the first reaction of most fans is that it is a sister-in-law, well, yes, it is the sister-in-law who once partnered with Kobe Bryant to win two consecutive championships. He is the older brother, Pau Gasol, and our protagonist today is the younger brother, Marc Gasol.
What comes to mind when you think of Marc Gasol? Brother B will think a lot, for example, he is obviously not similar to his brother, but he is actually a brother; For example, he once won the Defensive Player of the Season of the Season, but was not selected for the All-Defensive Team; For example, he once faced off against the Chinese men's basketball team in 2008 and scored a key goal that dragged into overtime.
I vaguely remember that Da Yao said that if he did it again, even if he broke that leg, he would have to guard against Xiao Jia's ball. How can life not look back, competitive sports have no ifs, in a blink of an eye, sixteen years have passed. Da Yao retired, Da Jia retired, Golden Boy retired, UAE retired, and Xiao Jia also retired.
The former wind-chasing teenagers left the stage together, as if they had never come. When he teamed up with Randolph, you will remember the amazing time when the black and white bears were dominant, and you will remember the popular saying "Fight the Grizzlies, even if you win, you have to peel off the skin".
You will think that they worked together to blow up the younger Jordan Jr. and Griffin group, but five years later, they were beaten by Davis and Cousins. Maybe they can't beat the young people, but they can't stand the time. Towards the end of his career, he left the Grizzlies to join the Raptors, where he won his first and only championship title.
Later, he also went to the Lakers and then returned to his hometown. Xiao Jia has a different idea of retiring than many veterans. The attitude of the other veterans is mostly "That's it, that's enough." Gasol's attitude is: I really love basketball, and I am reluctant to say goodbye to him. But even if I was reluctant, I finally came to this point. Goodbye, Gasol Jr. We'll see you in the future.
