Whether traditional centers can succeed in the small ball era is a false proposition, because what has not happened can never be proven.

Just like some people say that O'Neal can average 50+ points per game in the small ball era, some people say that O'Neal will be exhausted by rapid offensive and defensive transitions in the small ball era, and will do nothing under the constant tactical free throws of sharks.

What will happen will never be known.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Xiao silently said to the system in his heart: "System, convert the SS-level growth template card to the center type!"

He still made a decision to give it a try!

Choosing a center has risks, but the risk has always been proportional to the gain.

If traditional centers can really cause fierce collisions in the future small ball era, then this SS-level growth template card is a great value for money!

If the traditional center cannot survive in the small ball era, then Wang Xiao can also use this reference to make a good judgment on the position of the growth template card in the future.

In addition, there is another key factor... the national team.

Wang Xiao didn't know if he had the opportunity to coach the national team, but he still hoped to make some contributions to the country from the bottom of his heart.

With Cheng Jie and Wang Meng on the outside, what the Chinese men's basketball team lacks is the huge pillar that supports the inside like Yao Yu, so even if he can't make a fortune in the NBA, it is acceptable if he can achieve something in the international arena.

Because regional joint defense is allowed, centers have a greater role in international arena than in the NBA, and SS-level players can also fully exert their dominance under such a system of rules.

...

With Wang Xiao's instructions, a translucent card screen appeared in front of him, and then the picture on the front of the card began to change rapidly. The sharp-eyed Wang Xiao saw many familiar faces on the screen.

Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson, Alonzo Morning, Dwight Howard…

All he saw were first-class centers in the league, and even Wang Xiao saw Yao's face, which surprised Wang Xiao a little, but if you think about it carefully, it would be reasonable.

Although Yao Yao did not receive any valuable honors in the NBA, his dominance at his peak was quite poor, especially in the 25 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game. Unfortunately, Yao Yao's peak period was too short and was ruined by injuries early, which made his career controversial.

In terms of strength, Yao Yao is certainly not as good as players such as Olajuwon, Robinson and Ewing, but his strength is undoubtedly enough to enter the SS level.

When Wang Xiao was a little stunned by the scene of Dayao, the flashing scene began to slow down gradually and finally frozen on a picture.

“!!!”

Seeing the player on the screen, Wang Xiao couldn't help but clench his fists.

"pretty!"

Really won the jackpot!

It was David Robinson on the picture!

David Robinson, nicknamed Admiral, was the No. 1 pick in 1987. He was selected by the Spurs and served in the U.S. Navy for two years, and officially entered the NBA in 1989.

In his first season of his career, David Robinson can contribute 24.3 points, 12 rebounds, 3.9 blocks to the team. He averaged 21.1 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 3 blocks per game in his entire career. He was selected as the All-Star ten times, 10 times the best team in the league, 8 times the best defensive team, won the regular season MVP, and also won the best defensive player, as well as the scoring king, rebounding king, blocking king and other honors. His career highest scoring record is the fourth highest in history 71 points, and he is an absolute superstar!

But what makes Wang Xiao happy is not his luxurious honor.

Compared to honor, O'Neal may be more gorgeous than David Robinson, but if the two were put together, Wang Xiao would still choose David Robinson because Robinson's speed is outstanding in the center.

What is the most important thing in the era of small balls? Of course it is speed.

O'Neal's speed at his peak was not slow, but it was just not slow, and it was definitely not fast.

David Robinson is different.

In the early Spurs games, whenever there was a chance to get a fast break, there would often be the shadow of David Robinson in the figure who was about to go down. This guy's speed was not inferior to the defender, and he was comparable to Howard at his peak!

While the speed is extremely fast, Robinson's ability to confront O'Neal is not bad at all. It is common for him to fight O'Neal, Ewing and others. Although he often suffers losses when he faces O'Neal, which center did not suffer losses at that time? Even when he swept the magic led by O'Neal in four games in the finals, Olajuwon did not gain any advantage in the direct match against O'Neal.

In four games, Olajuwon averaged 32.8 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, Olajuwon averaged 28 points, 12.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, and there was no advantage except scoring. In terms of scoring, Olajuwon averaged 29 shots, and Olajuwon only made 18.5 shots. From the perspective of efficiency, Olajuwon also lost to Olajuwon.

Even Olajuwon is like this, let alone David Robinson, who is slightly inferior to Olajuwon?

Putting aside the bug O'Neal, Robinson is not afraid of any players in the inside.

Outstanding offense and defense, excellent offense and defense. Among the players I saw in the growth template card screen, except Olajuwon, there is no inside line that satisfies Wang Xiao more than David Robinson.

To be honest, Wang Xiao is worried that he would draw a center forward like Yao just now.

Although he was very happy that Yaoyao was included in the system's SS-level players, Yaoyao's technical characteristics are difficult to adapt to small ball tactics.

Comparable to O'Neal's tonnage, slow movement speed, and easy to reach the bottom... What's more afraid of small ball tactics than this?

In fact, the early Yaoyao had stronger mobility before gaining weight, which was quite suitable for small ball tactics. The growth template card was based on the player's peak period as the reference target, so Yaoyao's template must be the fat man weighing more than 140 kilograms in 2005.

The topic is a bit far...

The only concern that Wang Xiao had before has disappeared now. David Robinson can definitely adapt to the small ball tactics. Even if he cannot develop a three-pointer, his inside scoring skills and speed that is not inferior to the defender can gain a foothold in the small ball era!

...

Suddenly, Wang Xiao fought a cold war.

He suddenly realized what a terrifying lineup he had formed a few of his growth template cards.

Center, David Robinson, small forward Ron Artest, shooting guard Reggie Miller, if Jeremy Lin can really fool Jeremy Lin back to China in the future, then the point guard will be Jason Kidd.
