In fact, Wang Xiao also thought about what tactical skills to use in this game, and finally felt that the card position master was more cost-effective.

After all, the famous center Akagi Goken once said that those who can control the rebounds can control the game.

There is absolutely truth to this statement.

Compared with slightly increasing the offensive attributes, Wang Xiao is more like improving the team's rebounding protection ability.

As for what kind of efficiency value the percentage of increase mentioned in the skill description of the card position master will be converted into in the arena, Wang Xiao can't grasp it.

The Magic still adopt a steady style of play, focusing on the perimeter first, constantly trying to shoot from the perimeter, and then Howard sits on the inside to fight for offensive rebounds.

After a few rounds of offense, Howard was slightly depressed.

I don't know why, there were several scrambles for blue cricket in today's game, and the opponent was able to judge the basketball landing point before he was one step ahead of him, and the card position was in advance, and a few times when he was in a good position in advance, Heywood could still pull the basketball out before he could grasp the basketball.

"Is it because you're not in good shape today?" Shaking his head a little confused, Howard couldn't figure out what was going on.

In the entire first quarter of the game, Howard only grabbed 2 offensive rebounds in the frontcourt, which was not very efficient, and he was not paying attention to being grabbed by Haywood 1 offensive rebound in his own chassis.

2 offensive rebounds in a single quarter, it seems that the efficiency is already very high, if you put it in the whole court, it is a full 8 offensive rebounds.

But on the field, it is not calculated in this way, any player will have a lot of physical energy as the game progresses, and the performance will also be affected, and things like grabbing rebounds in the card position require physical support.

The first quarter of the game is the time when the players are most physical, and it is also the most efficient time to grab offensive rebounds.

If it's an average center, grabbing 2 offensive rebounds in the first quarter of the game may already be considered efficient.

But as a super center, Howard faced a notoriously weak team like the Wizards, and only grabbed 2 offensive rebounds in the first quarter of the game.

"Strange ......"

Van Gundy frowned as well.

In this game, the opponent's center seems to have become particularly aware of rebounding, and many times he can prejudge the landing point of the rebound ball one step in advance, so as to get stuck in advance.

"What's going on?"

Wang Xiao didn't expect that the effect of this tactical skill would be so good.

But when you think about it, it doesn't seem particularly incredible.

The skill of the card position master is to improve the player's ability to grab rebounds in the card position by percentage.

Haywood's rebounding ability has always been very good, this season with an average of 25 minutes per game, Haywood can grab 8.5 rebounds per game, including 3 offensive rebounds, although it is not comparable to Howard, who averaged 13.2 rebounds per game, but this efficiency is actually very good among centers.

And when Heywood is equipped with the card master skill, it is not too much to break his wrist with Howard in the rebounding convenience.

Of course, that's just for slots and rebounds.

Howard's strength isn't just about rebounding, his defensive prowess and ability to follow up and play counters after blocking are unmatched by Haywood.

Wang Xiao is seeking it now, but it is just that the rebounds should not be blown up too much by the opponent, and if this is done, the Wizards team will not be particularly passive on the court.

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides played a five-to-five game, and the Magic team had a slight lead, but when the main players gradually went off the court to replace the substitute players to grab points, the Magic team couldn't bear it.

The Magic bench has a few good players, such as shooter JJ Redick, defensive titan Petrus and Polish hammer Gortat.

But apparently, the Wizards' bench lineup is more luxurious.

'06 Sixth Man of the Season: Mike of the Year. Miller, Mad Dog Beverley, Singles King Nick. Yang, of course, there is also Jordan Jr., who can also enjoy the bonus of the card position master.

With Howard off the court, the Magic's rebounds looked a little unprotected in front of Jordan Jr.!

Gortat's rebounding ability is not bad, but after all, Jordan Jr. has a BUFF bonus, and Jordan Jr. will also be a player who has won the rebounding king for two seasons in the future, and he has a good sense of rebounding.

Under the bombardment of the Wizards' bench, the Magic's bench line quickly collapsed, and in just a few minutes, a wave of 12:2 offensive waves was played, overtaking the score and widening the gap in one fell swoop.

Van Gundy was furious on the sidelines, and had to call a timeout and began to replace some of the main players one after another.

However, the main players did not have enough rest time and could not recover their strength well, and when facing the Wizards substitute players, they could not immediately defeat the opponent to recover the score, so they could only rely on experience and steady play to slowly chase the score.

And when the score gap gradually narrowed, Wang Xiao also replaced the main lineup that had been fully trimmed.

At halftime, the score was 56-49, with the Magic trailing by five points at home.

……

"Dwight, what's wrong with you today? The team needs you to open up the situation, cheer up, your opponents are just blue-collar players who aren't even All-Stars, and use your strength to blow them up! ”

At halftime, Van Gundy said to Howard.

"I understand!" Howard nodded, scratching his head a little depressedly, "I don't know what's going on today, the guys on the Wizards team judge the rebounding point very accurately, and they can always get stuck in position, if I rely on bounce to force the rebound to grab the rebound, there is a good chance of being whistled for a foul." ”

Of course, Van Gundy saw it, and he couldn't figure out why, but he couldn't just let it go, right?

On the other side, in the Wizards' locker room, the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic.

"Brandon, what's wrong with you today? It's so? ”

Butler slapped Heywood on the shoulder and smiled brightly.

"That monster didn't take advantage of you when facing you, and you were stuck behind you several times and could only watch the rebound fall into our hands. DeAndrew, too, you two are like All-Stars today, it's amazing! ”

Haywood and Jordan Jr. both laughed non-stop, but they were also very puzzled in their hearts.

They also don't understand why they suddenly feel so good today.

"That's it!" Wang Xiao, the only one who knew the truth, clapped his hands and said with a serious expression: "We have the lead in the first half, but don't be careless, this is the enemy's home field, if you want to win the game here, you must always stay focused, cooperate with more passes, reduce mistakes, play every attack well, and let us overturn them in their home stadium!" ”

"Knock them over !!"
