Whether or not the traditional center can succeed in the small-ball era is a false proposition, because what did not happen can never be confirmed.

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 in the small-ball era under the rapid transition between offense and defense, and do nothing under the non-stop shark-cutting tactical free throws.

Exactly 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 into a center type!" ”

He still made a decision to give it a go!

There are risks associated with choosing a centre-forward, but the risk is always 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 great value for money!

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

In addition to this, there is another key factor...... National.

Wang Xiao doesn't know if he has the opportunity to coach the national team, but he still hopes to make some contributions to the country.

With Cheng Jie and Wang Meng on the outside, what the Huaxia men's basketball team lacks is an optimus pillar that supports the inside like Da Yao at the beginning, so even if he can't play in the NBA, it is acceptable if he can achieve something in the international arena.

Because of the fact that regional defense is allowed, centers play a greater role on the international stage than in the NBA, and SS-rated players can also play their dominance to the fullest under such a rules system.

……

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

Hakim. Olajuwon, Patrick. Ewing, David. Robinson, Alonzo. Mourning, Dwight. Howard......

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

Although Da Yao did not get any worthy honors in the NBA, his dominance at his peak was quite unusual, especially in the 06-07 season, he averaged 25 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks per game.

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

When Wang Xiao was a little stunned because of Da Yao's picture, the flickering picture began to slow down gradually, and finally froze on one picture.

“！！！”

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

"Beautiful!"

It's really a jackpot hit!

On the screen is David. Robinson!

Nicknamed Admiral, David. Robinson, the 1987 No. 1 pick, was drafted by the Spurs and served in the U.S. Navy for two years before officially entering the NBA in 1989.

In the first season of his career, David. Robinson can contribute 24.3 points, 12 rebounds and 3.9 blocks to the team, averaging 21.1 points, 10.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 3 blocks per game throughout his career, ten times selected as an All-Star, ten times selected as the best team in the league, eight times selected for the best defensive team, won the regular season MVP, also won the best defensive player, as well as scoring champions, rebounding kings, blocks and other honors, the highest scoring record in his career is the fourth highest in history 71 points, is an absolute superstar!

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

More than honors, O'Neal may be better than David. Robinson is even more gorgeous, but if the two are put together, Wang Xiao will still choose David. Robinson, because Robinson's speed is the best presence among the center.

What is the most important thing in the age of small balls? Speed, of course.

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

David. Robinson is different.

In the early Spurs games, whenever there is an opportunity to break fast, there is often a shadow of David Robinson in the fast figure, this guy's speed is not inferior to the guard at all, and Howard at his peak has a fight!

At the same time, Robinson's internal confrontation ability is not bad at all, and it is common for him to resist O'Neal, Ewing and others, although he often suffers losses when he is against O'Neal, but at that time, which center does not suffer against O'Neal? Even when he swept away the Magic led by O'Neal in the finals in four games, Olajuwon did not take advantage of the direct confrontation with O'Neal.

In the four games, Olajuwon averaged 32.8 points, 11.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, and O'Neale averaged 28 points, 12.5 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, with no advantage other than scoring, and in terms of scoring, Olajuwon averaged 29 shots per game, O'Neal only took 18.5 shots, and in terms of efficiency, Olajuwon also lost to O'Neal.

Even Olajuwon is still like this, not to mention David, who is slightly inferior to Olajuwon. Robinson?

Aside from O'Neal's bug, Robinson doesn't scare any player on the inside.

Outstanding in offense and defense, both offensive and defensive, among the players seen in the growth template card screen before, except for Olajuwon, there is no better than David. Robinson is even more satisfied with Wang Xiao's inside line.

To tell the truth, Wang Xiao was worried that he would draw a center like Da Yao just now.

Although he was glad that Da Yao could be included in the SS players of the system, Da Yao's technical characteristics were difficult to adapt to the small-ball tactics.

Comparable to O'Neill's tonnage, slow movement speed, and physical strength that easily bottoms out...... What's more afraid of small-ball tactics than this?

In fact, the early Da Yao was not more mobile before gaining weight, but it was quite suitable for small ball tactics, but the growth template card was based on the player's peak as a reference target, so Da Yao's template must be the big fat man who weighed more than 140 kg in 05.

The topic is a bit far away......

The only concern that Wang Xiao had before is now gone. Robinson can definitely adapt to small-ball tactics, even if he can't develop a three-point shot, with his interior scoring skills and speed that is not inferior to that of a guard, it is enough to establish himself in the small-ball era!

……

Suddenly, Wang Xiao shivered.

He suddenly realized what a terrifying lineup he had formed with several growth template cards.

Center, David. Robinson, small forward Ron. Artest, scoring guard Reggie. Miller, if he can really fool Jeremy Lin back to China in the future, then the point guard is Jason. Kyd.

This lineup does not look at the scoring ability, the defensive ability alone can reach an almost suffocating level! Even if it's the American Dream Team, don't even think about getting a favor when you meet them!!
