Gasol is currently out of the game due to injuries. Gasol, who had an ankle injury before the end of the season, was unable to play the rest of the regular season. To make matters worse, he was not able to recover even before the playoffs.

Gasol recovery was slow, the Spanish national team was disrupted. As he is still not free from injuries, it has become difficult to play in this World Cup. As Gasol was unable to compete in the tournament, Spain was preparing for the post-gasol era in earnest. Spain is now in the race without gasol and Juan Carlos Navarro.

Spain opened its era with Pau Gasol and Juan Carlos Navarro. They made a decisive contribution to Spain's outstanding performance at the international convention. While Gasol stood firmly in the pillar, Spain scored well in Euro Basket, Olympics and World Cup. Even though he enjoyed the knockout of the quarter-finals in the last 2014 World Cup, Spain has always been steady.

Gasol was right in the center, He was named MVP at the 2006 World Cup, 2009 Euro Basket and 2015 Euro Basket. Especially in the mid-thirties in 2015, even though the outstanding performance of the coat was embroidered. Gasol and Sergio Rodríguez led Spain to a final victory, as many other top players did not participate.

Regarding the decision, Gasol said, "It was a tough decision." "It was always a pleasure to be helpful to my colleagues in the national team, and the national team had always been an important part of me." . "It was always a proud thing for me to play for the national team while playing against several players at the international convention."
However, Gasol said, "I can not go to this World Cup in China due to injuries." "Despite that, I hope that Spain will get good results." "We hope that we will come to the Olympics and we will be able to come back next year," he said.

Gasol is now hardly able to give strength to the weight of the years. He has consistently scored an average of two NBA seasons until last season, but has been sluggish this season. He has played 30 games this season for San Antonio Spurs and the Milwaukee Bucks, with a 3.9 points (.447 .462 .700) 4.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 12 minutes per game.

Eventually, Gasol closed his contract with San Antonio at the end of the season and came out as a transfer market. He continued his career by signing a contract for the remaining season with Milwaukee. The problem is ahead, He has not been able to avoid aging this season, It is not sure whether he can play in the NBA in the coming 2019-2020 season as the recovery is slow.

Spain, meanwhile, is expected to have a solid bottom-up in the absence of Gasol. Even if gasol is added, it is hard to control the court as before. However, in Spain, Marc Gasol, Serge ibaka (Toronto) and Nikola Mirotić (Milwaukee) are among them. Coincidentally, all of them are currently clashing in the Eastern Conference Finals.
