4 1 year-old Scola, Gasol ... and Yao Ming.
Pau Gasol and Luis Scola, who have participated in five Olympic Games respectively, have finished their Olympic journey ... probably?
Who knows? Although 4 1 year-old, they never seem to stop.
In the 2004 Olympic Games, 24-year-old Gasol made his Olympic debut, winning the scoring title, blocking the shot and rebounding fourth.
But in those years, Gasol was not happy in the NBA:
200 1 he went to Memphis, and after officially joining the NBA, Gasol had a standard photo in the NBA. COM: Chin closed, looking up at the camera, face thin and serious.
Everyone knows that he has good coordination, strong skills, quick action, skillful play and accurate shooting, but he is always said to be a little soft.
In 2004, 2005 and 2006, there were three playoff games, three first-round games and four home games: Duncan's Spurs, Nash's Suns and Dirk's Mavericks.
In 2005, Gasol had a second standard photo: a beard. At that time, he had already got a six-year contract of 86 million yuan, and in 2006, he became the first NBA All-Star in Spanish history.
Also in 2006, he won the world championship, but it was a pity: he led Spain to the final of the world championship, but fell down because of injury. Mark Gasol led Spain to the top of the world, wearing the red shirt of "Paul is still there". But he was the MVP of that game.
In 2007, Spain was defeated by the tough, rough and tough Russian team in the final of the European Championship. The way to lose was dramatic: Spain couldn't score in the last seven minutes, while Russia killed Gasol with the team defense led by AK47 and the winning blow of American foreign aid JR Horton.
By the age of 27, the key words of Gasol's fate are as follows:
Spanish genius, talent and inspiration were swept in the first round (more than once), and the world champion missed the final and was reversed.
Then, in February 2008, he went to Los Angeles, changed his jersey and got the third standard photo.
Later, we all know:
In the summer of 2008, he joined hands with Kobe Bryant to win the Western Conference championship with the Lakers. In the autumn of 2008, Gasol led the Spanish team to play the most magnificent final in the history of Olympic basketball in Beijing, narrowly defeating the Dream Eight Team, and Kobe played that classic 3+ 1.
In the summer of 2009, the NBA champion. Take Spain to beat Miss Hodosi and win the European Championship. At the age of 30, he won the second NBA championship.
At that time, everything seemed perfect. NBA champion, Olympic runner-up (only lost to America), European champion, world champion, all together. He himself is 30 years old. You can rest now.
But he did not stop.
In the NBA, 20 19 continues to play.
In FIBA, he won the championship with Spain with 20 1 1. In 20 13, he witnessed his younger brother leading the team and losing to Parker's France. So in 20 15, at the age of 35, he took Spain to win the European Championship.
I went to see his semi-finals and finals in Lille. It's incredible. He faced the host country France in the semi-final and scored 40 points after listening to the roar of 27,000 fans.
Gao Bai, Dior and batum are the French front lines. None of the three old rivals in the NBA can stop his 40 points.
In the final, he won the championship against Varanasus.
35 years old.
Scoring champion in 2004 and 2008 Olympic Games. 20 12 and 20 16 finished fourth in the Olympic games.
20 16 Olympic Games, bronze medal.
20 17 surpassed Parker and became the scoring champion in the history of the European Championship.
And then this year. He is 4 1 year old.
In the NBA, he is Kobe Bryant's perfect auxiliary attack and the inside man of two-time championship.
But in FIBA, he is the number one killer in Europe. The whole of Europe, especially the French basketball fans, is a permanent nightmare.
On the other side, Scola.
At the age of 22, he has won the second place in the World Championships with Argentina.
Two years later, he won the gold medal in the 2004 Olympic Games with Ginobili.
Ginobili won the fourth place in the Olympic Games that year. Scola, seventh. Scola was Ginobili's deputy at the time.
In the 2008 Olympic Games, the top ten scoring champions were all our old acquaintances: AK47 in the tenth, Wade in the ninth, Haddadi in the eighth, Dirk in the seventh, bahrami in the sixth and holden in the fifth.
The fourth Ginobili, the third Scola.
First of all, Gasol.
There is no Ginobili in the 20 10 World Championships.
Scola took Argentina to the World Championships and became the scoring champion.
In fact, in the FIBA world, Scola may be more difficult to defend than Gasol. By the 20 19 World Cup, Scola became the second scorer in the history of the World Championships, second only to Brazilian superstar Oscar Schmidt.
Up to now, Scola, like Gasol, is 4 1 year-old and has held five Olympic Games.
They all have their own Olympic champions and world champions. Cut all the data that can be cut in the respective championships in South America and Europe. They are the scoring champions of the World Championships and the Olympic Games.
Interestingly:
In the NBA, both of them are regarded as excellent secondary attackers and perfect teammates, and both of them are more or less criticized for not working hard enough.
But in FIBA, it is obviously the great devil of war determination, right?
Further, Dirk, the scoring champion of the 2002 World Championships, and Yao Ming, the scoring champion of the 2006 World Championships, are also called soft eggs in the NBA?
Obviously, they are not inefficient in the NBA, but they can score efficiently in the FIBA world.
This is a conceptual difference.
Visual beauty means breakthrough, acceleration and dunk. If we only look at the breakthrough, the Madison Carters are probably the fiercest.
However, after that era, it is natural to know that Kobe and Pierce are harder and more solid than the Myka brothers in hard play-although there are not so many first steps or dunks.
The NBA has a wider world space (Luca's original words), encouraging speed and breakthrough. The world of FIBA is more complicated and difficult. Therefore, the FIBA World will always give more preferential treatment to those pick-and-roll masters, sharpshooters or giants. They may not sprint, but they are skilled. Ginobili plays the sixth man in the NBA partly because he is desperate and his physical strength is hard to last, but he can play in FIBA.
Similarly, Scola and Gasol are old, but FIBA doesn't consume physical strength. They only need their own skills to reach 4 1 year-old.
Similar to Sabonis, the 33-year-old knee has been abolished, and the pioneers can still play by experience, and they can still play after 40 European wars.
FIBA is a paradise for technical and tactical masters.
As long as it is not a decisive serious injury, it can be played for a long time in theory.
I didn't finish just now.
In the 2000 Olympic Games, when Gasol and Scola were not on the stage, there was another post-80s generation. Rebound sixth, Yao Ming.
-Off-topic, in the 2000 Olympic Games, the assist king was Nash of Canada, and the steal king was AK47, age 19.
In 2002, when Scola and Argentina competed for the runner-up in the World Championships, 22-year-old Yao Ming was the first center.
Rebound champion in 2004 Yao Ming Olympic Games, third place, Ginobili fourth.
In 2006, Gasol won the world championship and MVP, but the scoring champion was Yao Ming.
Top three in 2008 Olympic Games: Gasol, Yao Ming and Scola.
Europe, Asia and South America are the three most outstanding people.
Moreover, the old rocket fans must have found out: Wow! The 2008 Olympic Games won the second and third place, which was not the first front line of the rockets that year!
Indeed, Scola is Yao Ming's best No.4 teammate-although they have only been partners for two years.
Battier said that the Rockets have three people who like to study defense privately: Battier, Hayes and Scola.
As we all know, Scola and Yao Ming have been teammates for two years. In the first year, the Rockets won 22 consecutive victories, and the second year was the peak farewell of Yao Ming's career.
Things that few people care about:
In 2009, the rocket passed the Young Pioneers Series. As we all know, the Pioneers used Pulz Bila, Auden and Aldridge to wrap around the front continuously. Results After 9 shots in the first round of Yao Ming Series, the score was limited.
In that series, Yao Ming averaged 16 points and 1 1 rebounds, but he didn't stop the Blazers in vain:
In that series, the Rockets' scoring champion was Scola, averaging 16.2 points per game, holding the third-grade Aldridge opposite.
At that time, I thought that Yao Ming finally had a reliable and intelligent inside teammate who could shoulder everything with him.
Then came the swan song of the 2009 Western Conference semifinals, as we all know.
A little further, in the spring of 2009, the Rockets played a game with the Spurs. At the last moment of the game, Duncan played against Yao Ming.
Yao Ming mentioned online twice, sent a gorgeous pass by pump fake, assisted Scola to get it, and the Rockets won the game.
-djokic-style high and low, Yao Ming will be at the beginning; His contact with Scola even fooled Duncan.
-If we give him and Scola more time, who knows?
It's a pity that Scola and Yao Ming met at the age of 27.
If only they could be together.
Yao Ming was injured in the summer of 2009, which actually ended his basketball career. At that time, he was 29 years old and had played three Olympic Games. At that time, Scola and Gasol each played two Olympic Games.
12 years later, Scola and Gasol participated in the Olympic Games for the fifth time.
Scola, Gasol, Yao Ming.
FIBA world, South America, Europe and Asia, the most outstanding insider of this century.
One of them retired for ten years due to injury, and the other two have been in the FIBA world for the past twenty years.
In fact, they were all born in 1980.
This year is 4 1 year.
