recently
Serie A basketball club Varese officially said
Scott was officially appointed president of the team
With the announcement of this news
It means that Scola is officially retired
He is known as the Immortal God of War
After all, I am still old
Luis Scola
The man who was once drafted by the Spurs in 2002
Because of the high buyout fees of the parent team
It didn't land in the NBA until 2007
Came to the Houston Rockets
Mention him
Probably most people will think:
"Oh I know him, he's Yao Ming's teammate
At that time, Yao Ming was a champion
He was the 56th pick in the second round."
But his level
It's not just the order
The rookie waited five years to enter the NBA
It doesn't seem that young compared to other people of the same period
Because when he joined the Rockets
He is already 27 years old
But that doesn't stop him from playing brightly
Scola is a two-round show though
But it was quickly played
At its peak
He averaged 18.3 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game
General physical condition
However, he has excellent skills, strange steps, and a high ball dealer
That's what he's leaning on
Spent 10 years in the NBA
Scola played for a number of teams during the decade of his NBA career
In every team there is a good performance
This earned him the respect of the audience
Because his name Scola is consonant with "four carats"
Chinese fans also call him Diamond
In fact
His career is indeed like a diamond
Argentina coach Hernandez said:
"Scola's self-discipline and effort
Let his career be stable and outstanding"
He is almost one of the most disciplined basketball players
When he started his own CBA journey in 2017
He is 37 years old
But still strictly control their weight and diet
Whether at home or away
He would carry food with him
Strictly control your intake
In this way, you can keep your body in the best condition
Players who can do that now
It's too little and too little
The 51-year-old Nigerian men's basketball coach
Speaking of Scola, he quipped:
"Whether it's 31 or 41
He was always an extraordinary player
It's not like I've got a big belly."
Eight seasons in the NBA League
He only missed 9 games
I believe this is inseparable from his self-discipline
But even diamonds
It also wears out
At the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games
Scola's Argentina team
Lost to championship favourites Australia
Fell in the quarterfinals
This game Scola played 25 minutes
Got 7 points, 4 rebounds and 1 steal
It can be said that he has contributed all his strength
After Scola came off
The audience stood up and applauded him
Including Australian fans and players
They were cheering off a legendary departure with applause
Scola once said:
"I will become Yao Ming's most loyal internal partner"
I think
That's what I liked from that
He delivered on his promise
It's not just a game in the Rockets
More with the whole career
Prove yourself as the diamond
It's like a diamond
Perpetual, unchanging
