In this year's men's basketball team European Championship , the Spanish men's basketball team once again won the European championship. They only have Rudy Fernandez , a veteran of the "golden generation", and players like Gasol, Calderon , Ruhr or Rubio are all absent.
But these players are absent does not mean that they will not play basketball. At least Gasol has not officially retired and he is still active in the professional arena. Saying goodbye to NBA, Gasol Jr. returned to Spain and paid for a men's basketball club called Girona and became the team's chairman.
But Gasol was not satisfied with being just a leader, but wanted to play in person, so he served as a player and worked for himself. Under the leadership of Gasol Jr., Girona Men's Basketball Team performed well in the Spanish League B last season, and for the first time in the team's history, it made its way into the La Liga .
La Liga did not allow the team's chairman to serve as a player before, so Gasol Jr. has not completed the registration for a long time. But 24 hours ago, the La Liga finally passed Gasol Jr.'s registration application, allowing him to participate in the new season of La Liga as the team's chairman and player.
Before going to the NBA to play, Gasol Jr. was a player of Barcelona's men's basketball team in La Liga. Now that he has returned from the NBA, Gasol has not played in La Liga for 14 years, and he will return to this game in the new season.
In this summer, Gasol has been training with the team normally and participated in the warm-up match, meticulously. Under the leadership of Gasol Jr., Girona Men's Basketball Team defeated the Spanish College Men's Basketball Team 66-60 in the play-offs, and finally won the right to participate in the La Liga.
According to the schedule, the new season of La Liga is about to start. On Wednesday night, Girona men's basketball team will play against Real Madrid men's basketball team. This is the top team in Spain and even Europe. I don't know what kind of performance Gasol can perform.
