西班牙優質長人小賈索(Marc Gasol)自2019年隨暴龍奪冠後,將個人生涯推向頂峰,然而本賽季身手全面退化,場均得分、籃板皆下探生涯新低。過去,賈索就曾透露有意在生涯後期回西班牙打球,而據《The Athletic》記者柯林(Eric Koreen)表示「目前正在確認此消息」。

本季暴龍於東區季後賽次輪止步,而小賈索與球隊合約正式走完,對於未來去向,小賈索還未給予正面迴應,但近日多家媒體批露小賈索將返回西班牙重回籃球生涯起點巴薩隆那。

Reports swirling that Marc Gasol is going home...he'll play in Spain next season.What a run he had in the @nba w/ his incredible years w/ the @memgrizz & the experience/savvy/skill/professionalism he brought to the @Raptors - especially in their 2019 championship run - as well. pic.twitter.com/xm6uuW7LXs

小賈索於2008年正式登陸NBA加盟灰熊前,曾於巴薩隆那打過3年球,在整個生涯中,小賈索無疑是個典型歐陸長人,能投籃、能傳球,也讓灰熊於西區佔有一席之地。無奈灰熊成績始終無法突破,賈索於2019年被交易到暴龍,但這也成爲他生涯轉捩點,在該季隨加拿大大軍捧起冠軍金盃

Working to confirm report Marc Gasol will end his career by playing in Barcelona, which makes sense given his young family. More than anything, I'll miss watching him play. Aside from Kyle Lowry, no one has taught me more about basketball with his play than Gasol.

賈索目前12年NBA生涯,場均貢獻14.6分、7.6籃板、3.4助攻,但本季各項數據都來到生涯新低。現在多方消息指出小賈索即將重返巴薩隆那打球,《The Athletic》記者柯林表示「正在努力確認此消息真實性,但對於賈索有這樣的決定不意外。最重要的是,我會想念看他打球的時光」。

國際知名籃球記者艾米利安諾(Emiliano Carchia)報導,巴薩主帥賈斯柯維休斯(Sarunas Jasikevicius)還未跟小賈所有接觸,但前者直言「最重要的事情是不要着急,若我們真的有機會簽下賈索,我們就會去做」。

Barcelona head coach Sarunas Jasikevicius to @GIGANTESbasket: “We have not talked to Marc Gasol. The important thing now is not to rush. If we have a real chance, we will go for it.”
