When the Spanish men’s basketball reversed the Finnish men’s basketball with 100-90 and broke into the final four of the European Championship, people couldn’t help sighing that The Matador Legion was inseparable from the “brother File. The legend of Gasol brothers just ended, and the Hernan Gomes brothers renewed it, taking the highest score and the second highest score of Spain men’s basketball in today’s match. Under the circumstances that the golden age has passed, the matador corps still refused to withdraw from the ranks of European giants, and the Hernan Gomes brothers played a great role.
In this game, Willy Hernan Gomes scored the highest 27 points in the team and another 5 rebounds. In the 10th of the 13th, 7th of the 8th, which was extremely efficient; spain’s second highest score in men’s basketball came from his younger brother Juan Hernan Gomes. He scored 5 out of 11 games, including 2 out of 7 points and 3 out of 3 free throws, with 15 points and 4 rebounds. In addition, their goal difference reached +15 and +16, which also led the whole audience.
The performance of the two brothers, coupled with the “Old Man Fu Xi” at the critical moment of veteran Rudi Fernández, Spain men’s basketball picked down Finland men’s basketball, which performed fiercely in this competition, it also put the 28 points and 11 rebounds of malcanin into the water. According to statistics, Spain was blocked from the top 4 of the European Championships last time men’s basketball, which was still in 1999. In other words, Spain has never missed the top 4 of the European Championship men’s basketball this century.
The Hernan Gomes brothers, who are not conspicuous in NBA, are shining in the European Championship. So far in this European Championship, Wiley has scored 17.9 points and 7.1 rebounds, with a hit rate. The 27 points in this game refreshed his single scoring record in this European Championship; Juan scored 10.7 points and 5.3 rebounds in each game, with a total hit rate of% and a three-point hit rate of%. The 15 points in this game are also his highest single record in this European Championship.
Led the matador army to return to the familiar field, and the Hernan Gomes brothers also expected to follow the old path of the Gasol brothers.
On May 27, 1994, Willy was born in Madrid, Spain, and his younger brother Juan was born on September 28, one year later. The brothers came from a basketball family. Their father Guillemo was once a basketball player. What is more worth mentioning is their mother magarieta. She is 1.85 meters tall and serves as a center. She has played for several teams in Spain’s women’s basketball league and won four league championships. She also won the Champions League with her team in 1993. In addition, she participated in three European Championships and the Barcelona Olympics in 1992 with the Spanish women’s basketball, and won the gold medal in the European Championships in 1993.
Influenced by his parents, the Elnan Gomes brothers also formed an indissoluble bond with basketball. Willy entered the Real Madrid youth team in 2011, during which he was on loan to Seville. After returning to Real Madrid in 2015, he finally entered the first team; Hu An and his brother had some similar experiences. He, who began to participate in the official basketball game in 2007, also received training in the Real Madrid youth team. However, in 2012, Juan signed a formal contract with another league team in Madrid to join the first team and won the best young player award in the ACB League.
The brothers soon opened the door of NBA one after another. In the 2015 draft, Willy was chosen by 76 people in the 35th order of the second round, and then he was switched to Knicks. New Yorkers welcomed him with open arms, giving Willy, who was still a Cainiao, 22 starts and an average of 18.4 minutes. Willy handed over 8.2 points and 7 rebounds, the transcript with a hit rate of 52.9 percent was invited to participate in the All-Star Rookie Challenge and was selected as the rookie for a while.
But MSG is not the place where Willy lived for a long time. In the middle of the second season, Willy was packed and delivered to the wasp by Knicks, and only two rounds of signing were exchanged. After staying in Charlotte for more than two seasons, Willy signed a Pelican contract with a partial guarantee contract of 1.7 million a year during the offseason in 2020. With an average score of 7.8 points and 7.1 rebounds and a hit rate of 56.3%, Willy won a 3-year new contract from Pelican during the offseason in 2021.
Compared with his elder brother, Juan NBA has a higher starting point, but it is more tortuous and bumpy. Before the 2016 draft, he was considered to be one of the most anticipated foreign newcomers, and the Nuggets also took him to the account on the 15th in the first round. Like his brother, Juan was initially forced to be tempered by the Development Alliance. In Cainiao’s season, he won 9 firsts in 62 games, with an average of 4.9 points and 3 rebounds, without the best rookie lineup. What is more worrying is that Juan only played 25 games in the second season because he was diagnosed with mononucleosis.
After defeating the disease, Juan returned to the game and began to climb the slope. In the 2018-19 season, he averaged 5.8 points and 3.8 rebounds, and the three-point shooting rate increased. In the 2019-20 season, Juan ushered in a turning point. He was involved in a 4-team deal in the season and sent to the Timberwolves. Unexpectedly, Juan became the beneficiary of the transaction. During the rest of the season, he played 14 games for Timberwolves, with an average of 12.9 points and 7.3 rebounds, and the three-point shooting rate soared to 42%.
Seeing Juan’s performance like this, Timberwolves rushed to open a 3-year new contract for him during the off-season in 2020, but Juan was a little floating. Before the 2020-21 season, people were surprised to find that Juan, who appeared in the training camp, was out of shape. Later, his new crown tested positive, and soon he lost the first one, and his performance also plummeted. After the end of the season, Juan had a conflict with the senior officials of Timberwolves because he participated in the Tokyo Olympics with Spain men’s basketball.
Finally, the Forest Wolf packed Juan to the grizzly bear in exchange for Beverly. Juan has been wandering since then. In the 2021-22 season alone, he moved to Celtics, Spurs and jazz, and signed the Raptors with the basic salary of a year veteran during the offseason this year. If Willy had experienced twists and turns in his early career, now he has stabilized slightly, Juan is opposite to him. He, who could have lived a more comfortable life, chose a turbulent road.
The so-called “brothers work together, their profits will be cut off”. The great achievements of the Gasol brothers are impressive, but the Hernan Gomes brothers can also write their legends in the Matador Corps. (Supine support/fur)
