Many believed that this was the last big tournament of Pau Gasol with the Spanish national team, recently he didn’t want to answer directly to the question about his possible exit, but after the bronze medal he revealed what he wants.
As he said in the press conference after the game according to the Spanish news agency EFE: “I do not know how I will process all of this. I love to play in the national team of my country and I feel something special. It’s very special. I’ll do everything I can but I will not be rigid in any thing that has to do with the national team. There is a lot of talent and I love being on top of the tournaments. As times goes by, I will have to leave and when the time comes I’ll do it. It’s part of my career. I can not ask for anything more. All of this is a gift and I’ll play any time I can. It will be an honor. I’m having fun”.
After all he was the top scorer in Rio Games with 156 points, one more than Kevin Durant, and the only issue bothering him in the tournament was the absence of his brother, March: “The fact that Marc was not able to share all those things and no one knows what would have happened with him onbard. Our triumphs are also his, because he is still a part of this team. This is a team with chemistry and that helps us to overcome obstacles”.
