The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Whether the traditional center can succeed in the small ball era is a false proposition, because what didn't happen can never be proven.

Just like some people say that O'Neal can average 50+ points per game in the small ball era, and some people say that O'Neal will be exhausted under the rapid offensive and defensive transitions in the small ball era, and will be useless under the non-stop shark-cutting free throws.

What the truth will be, no one will ever know.

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 go!

There are risks in choosing a center, but the risks have always been directly proportional to the rewards.

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

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

In addition, there is another more critical factor...the national team.

Wang Xiao doesn't know whether he will have the opportunity to coach the national team, but he still hopes to make some contributions to the country from the bottom of his heart.

With Cheng Jie and Wang Meng on the outside line, what the Huaxia men's basketball team lacks is the giant pillar that supports the inside line like Dayao back then, so even if he can't play a role in the NBA, if he can achieve something in the international arena acceptable.

Because of the zone defense allowed, centers play a greater role in the international arena than in the NBA, and SS-level players can also exert their dominance to the fullest under such a rule system.

...

Following Wang Xiao's instructions, a translucent card screen appeared in front of him, and immediately the front screen 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 Mourning, Dwight Howard...

All he saw were top-notch centers in the league, and even Wang Xiao saw Dayao's face, which surprised Wang Xiao, but it made sense after thinking about it.

Although Dayao didn't get any valuable honors in the NBA, his dominance in the peak period was quite poor, especially in the 2006-07 season, where he averaged 25 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game. Unfortunately, Dayao His peak period was too short, and he was ruined by injuries early, which made his career controversial.

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

When Wang Xiao was a little stunned by the picture of Dayao, the flickering pictures began to slow down gradually, and finally froze on one picture.

"!!!"

Seeing the players on the screen, Wang Xiao couldn't help but clenched his fists.

"pretty!"

Really hit the jackpot!

On the screen is David Robinson!

David Robinson, nicknamed the Admiral, was the No. 1 pick in 1987. After being selected by the Spurs, he served in the US Navy for two years and officially entered the NBA in 1989.

In the first season of his career, David Robinson was able to contribute 24.3 points, 12 rebounds and 3.9 blocks to the team. Throughout his career, he averaged 21.1 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 3 blocks per game. The league's best team, eight times selected to the best defensive team, won the regular season MVP, also won the best defensive player, as well as scoring champion, rebounding champion, blocking champion and other honors, the highest career scoring record is the fourth highest in history With 71 points, he is an absolute superstar!

But what made Wang Xiao happy was not his luxurious honor.

Compared with honors, O'Neal may be more gorgeous than David Robinson, but if the two are put together, Wang Xiao will still choose David Robinson, because Robinson's speed is outstanding among centers.

What is the most important thing in the small ball era? Speed ​​of course.

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

David Robinson was different.

In the early Spurs games, whenever there was a chance for a fast break, there was often David Robinson in the fast-down figure. This guy's speed is not inferior to the guards at all, and he can compete with Howard at his peak!

At the same time, Robinson's ability to fight inside is not bad at all. It is common for him to fight against O'Neal, Ewing and others. Not at a disadvantage? Even when he swept and eliminated the Magic led by O'Neal in 4 games in the finals, Olajuwon did not take advantage of the direct matchup with O'Neal.

In the four games, Olajuwon averaged 32.8 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. O'Neal averaged 28 points, 12.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game. With only 18.5 shots, in terms of efficiency, Olajuwon also lost to O'Neal.

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

Aside from O'Neal's bug, Robinson doesn't fear any players in the paint.

Outstanding offense and defense, excellent offense and defense. Among the players seen in the growth template card screen, except for Olajuwon, there is no insider who satisfies Wang Xiao more than David Robinson.

To be honest, Wang Xiao was worried that a center like Dayao would be drawn just now.

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

Comparable to O'Neal's tonnage, slow moving speed, and easy to bottom out physical strength... What is more afraid of small ball tactics than this?

In fact, the early Dayao was more mobile before gaining weight, which is quite suitable for small ball tactics. The growth template card is based on the player's peak period as a reference target, so Dayao's template must be the one in 2005 who weighed more than 140 Big fat man in kilograms.

The topic is a bit far away...

The only worry that Wang Xiao had before is gone now. David Robinson can definitely adapt to the small ball tactics. Enough to gain a foothold in the small ball era!

...

Suddenly, Wang Xiao shivered.

He suddenly realized what a terrifying lineup his several growth template cards formed.

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

Regardless of the scoring ability of this lineup, the defensive ability alone can reach an almost suffocating level! Even if it's the American Dream Team, don't even think about getting benefits from meeting them! ! !
