Ricky Rubio
In 2006, only 16 years old Rubio, in the Spanish youth basketball team, 16-year-old European Championship, Rubio not only led the team to the championship battle, but also cut 51 points, 24 rebounds, 12 assists and 11 intercepts in the championship game, the final game of the fourth quarter to tie three points, but also let Rubio lead Spain to win the championship in overtime, since then the name of the Spanish Golden Boy began to follow him.
Played a brilliant data in the Spanish First Division, let him participate in the 2008 Beijing Olympics at the age of 17, that year's Spanish Bullfighting Army, led by Paul Gasol, plus Fernandez and Colderon and others, all the way to the championship against the American Dream Team, in the American Dream Team Rubio relied on excellent dribbling, passed Kidd, singles the Inside Line of the American Team, although it was ultimately defeated by the United States Team, but the excellent performance allowed the NBA to see the teenager, the Minnesota Timberwolves finally let Curry go, The Spanish teenager, who could not report right away, was chosen at the 2009 draft.
After solving the contract problem with Barca, Rubio officially stepped into the highest hall of basketball in the 2011-2012 season, but Rubio who came to the NBA was not as smooth as in Europe, the unstable shooting feel, coupled with the small ball era led by Curry, made his playing style questionable, and more unfortunately, in his first year of joining the league, he was plagued by injuries, the cruciate ligament in his left knee was torn, which made his first NBA season reimbursed, and then Rubio was unable to replicate his performance in Europe after his comeback. After being traded to the Jazz by the Timberwolves, Rubio's subsequent performance can only be a green leaf player in the NBA, which is far from the title of The Golden Boy in Europe, until the 2019 China Men's Basketball World Cup, Rubio ushered in his redemption game.
This tournament Spanish national team is actually very unpromising, the original number of players in the squad are no longer due to age or injury, in addition to Marc Gasol and Rubio, others are not any star players, such a lineup compared with the previous bullfighting legion The strength of the lineup is not optimistic at all, the group stage is also stumbling promotion, so that the Spanish national team is not included in the championship ranks, but to the knockout round Rubio won Poland in the first game against Poland 19 points, 9 assists and 5 rebounds, In the semi-finals, facing the crazy soaring score of Australian Mills, Rubio used his basketball IQ to connect the team to attack, and finally won the overtime to advance to the final, the championship battle against Argen Ting Rubio became the most stable scoring point in Spain, cut 20 points with an almost incomprehensible stable shot, prevented Agentin's counterattack to meet the championship, Rubio also got the MVP of the year, when he received the trophy from Kobe Bryant, it seemed to tell everyone that the Spanish Golden Boy was back.
Rubio was later traded to the Cavaliers, playing a substitute position in the Cavaliers, and when he came to the Cavaliers, the coaching team told him that they wanted Rubio from the international arena, Rubio from the Spanish national team, not just to be a substitute, and Rubio did not live up to the expectations of the Cavaliers. This season's substitutes can pay 12.8 points, 6.7 assists and 1.4 steals of the efficient data, so that the Cavaliers 20-15 in the East Zone fifth, and he also in the epidemic many of the main forces are isolated, continue to lead the team to maintain the record, playing back to the original Spanish Golden Boy reputation, but in the 2021/12/29 game against the Pelicans, the left knee cruciate ligament once again tore the season reimbursement, I hope he can heal well, after the comeback to bring us a surprising performance.
