Chapter 127 Tractor

Three minutes into the second quarter, the Lakers 3:32, in turn leading the Cavaliers by 28 points.

"It's only 4 points, we still have hope."

"With James, nothing is impossible."

"Nothing is impossible. This is Adidas' promotional slogan, and James is Nike's."

The two sides were again mobilizing troops and condemning generals.

The Cavaliers replaced the full starting lineup.

The Lakers made slight adjustments: Mihm, Ye Heping, Cook, Kobe, Butler.

This is where Tang Shuai excels. Although he is an old-school coach, he is very flexible and will not insist on the main force.

Cook and Butler feel good, so let the two have a good time.

Atkins and Odom feel cold, so play less for a while.

The Lakers attack.

Ye Heping, Cook, and Butler opened up the space, and the Cavaliers no longer dared to shrink the inside line.

Bryant took the opportunity to kill the inside, the first breakthrough caused Gooden's second foul.

Tonight's Gooden is very tough, as if he has become a wall inside the Cavaliers, but it's a pity that he is facing the top scorer Kobe, and Kobe's physical fitness exploded in the No. 8 period.

Two minutes later, Bryant fouled Gooden again, and with the one in the first quarter, he had committed three fouls.

Needless to say, Gooden went off to drink tea, and Robert Traylor took the No. 4 position.

This name should be unfamiliar to many fans, but Traylor is definitely not an unknown person.

With the 98th overall pick in 6, the Mavericks immediately replaced him with the Bucks' No. 9 rookie Nowitzki.

The guy who just changed to a German tank, are you convinced?
Then in one game, Traylor slammed Tracy McGrady hard, causing McGrady to suffer from a back injury that has plagued him for almost his entire career.

Do you accept the man who ruined Tracy McGrady's career?
In addition, he is also one of the behemoths who smashed rebounds. He did the same thing as Jordan and O'Neal. Are you convinced?

Also, he is nicknamed "Tractor", with a height of 203 kg and a weight of 129 kg.

The 2019 No. 201 pick "Fat Tiger" Zion Williams is 129 cm tall and weighs [-] kg.

Think about how Zion walks, so strong that he sways from side to side when he walks, just like those big-dimensional bodybuilders who always sway from side to side when walking.

But Traylor is not as good as Zion, Zion is strong, and Traylor is fat.

With unrestrained eating and unable to control his mouth, Traylor is completely fat.

And now, Ye Heping was about to face this tractor.

When facing Traylor, Ye Heping was stunned. Is this really only 129 kilograms?

Under the thick layer of fat, the curvature of the muscles can still be vaguely seen, but it is already very inconspicuous. The dimensions of the arms are more than double that of Ye Heping.

Later generations reported that Traylor's peak weight was 145 kg.

What kind of concept is this, that is to say, he weighs about the same as Yao Ming who is 203 centimeters and O'Neal who is 229 centimeters at 216 centimeters.

The Cavaliers' offense, McGinnis missed an outside shot.

Ye Heping grabs a rebound, but Trey gets stuck.

Even if Ye Heping opened the Dinghaishen needle, he still couldn't squeeze Traylor at all. The nearly 300-jin meat pier, this dam...

As soon as Traylor pushed his butt, Ye Heping was pushed far away... He jumped up with difficulty, not high enough, but he got the rebound steadily.

Then "Wei Wei" took off again and hit the board to score.

40: 36.

In just one round, Ye Heping gave up the idea of ​​being tough with Traylor.

No matter how strong Dinghaishenzhen is, can it hold the big shark O'Neill?Lord Hai himself should stay away.

The Lakers attack.

Ye Heping pulled directly to the outside, and Traylor couldn't catch up at all.

Ye Heping calmed down a little. This guy was too heavy, and his speed was seriously affected. He could fight with this point.

Kobe's pass was in place immediately, and Traylor hadn't saved it yet, so James could only come over to defend.

Ye Heping didn't stick to the ball, and passed the ball back to Kobe in an instant.

Kobe raised his knife and dropped it, whoosh!
42: 36.

Knights attack.

The new lineup of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant is the main defense against James, and Ye Heping is responsible for supplementary defense.

Tang Shuai insisted on a principle from the very beginning, never double-teaming James.

Just like the Spurs and Warriors of later generations, no matter how well James played, Popovich and Cole were not double-teamed.

Some fans will use this to black James, thinking that James is not a superstar, and he is not even worthy of double-team treatment.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Thinking about James' organizational ability and a bunch of three-point shooters around him, who would dare to double-team?
In the end, James forced a shot from the mid-range against Kobe's strong defense and missed the shot.

Traylor glanced at Ye Heping, who was still in the middle distance, pouted his ass in the air, then looked at the ball in the air, and opened his arms full of fat.

As if swearing, the rebound is mine.

"No, no, no! The basket is yours, and the rebound is mine."

Ye Heping naturally refused. He quickly rushed inside, leaped high, and abruptly grabbed the rebound from Traylor's head.

Ye Heping only jumps fast, with average height, but Traylor's bounce...if 15 centimeters is considered bounce.

There are scenes like this in the field, where a chunky guy is firmly stuck in position, but a thin guy who can jump can always grab rebounds from his head.

The trick is very simple, don't be tough with him, just rush to grab the rebound, and grab one accurately.

Traylor watched Ye Heping snatch food from him (tiger? Fat tiger! No! Fat tiger!), but there was nothing he could do.

And this was just the beginning of his nightmare.

Ye Heping took the defensive rebound and yelled, "Run!"

The entire Lakers team rushed up, played defensive counterattacks, and rushed to the frontcourt like a stream of water.

The Cavaliers naturally retreated quickly.

But Traylor was completely different from the other nine people, like a rock standing in the water, motionless.

In the NBA, fat people are easy to get, but flexible and deadly fat people are rare. Not every fat person can sprint like O'Neal.

And even if it's O'Neill, it's okay to run a few rounds, and he can't handle it if he runs too much.

Five-on-four in the frontcourt, the Lakers were not in a hurry and created opportunities by passing the ball. In the end, Ye Heping passed the ball to Cook and hit a three-pointer.

45: 36.

At this time, Traylor had just run halftime.

Looking at the Lakers players who had already run back, Traylor was a little desperate. This is a basketball game, not a back-and-forth run... But fortunately, he can save half the distance from running.

But there was someone on the bench who was more desperate than Traylor.

Coach Silas has a headache. Of course he knows Traylor's problem, but the Cavaliers have no one available.

Varejao, injured and sidelined, sat next to him in a suit.Gooden was fouled by Kobe, who would he use if he didn't use Traylor?

Truth be told, Traylor isn't that bad either.

The advantages are obvious, such as strength, tonnage, and card position quality.

Just like in the first round, he resisted Ye Heping and grabbed an offensive rebound and scored a goal for the Cavaliers.

But his shortcomings are also obvious, such as speed and jumping.

Coach Silas is betting that Traylor can use his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

But unfortunately, after only one round, Ye Heping discovered Traylor's shortcomings and found a way to deal with him.

"Treacherous brat!"

It's an opponent, of course Coach Silas is upset, but if it's his disciple...

Knights attack.

James broke through and scored, and Alexander got a chance with Traylor's screen.

Cook rushed forward, very fast.

But the speed keeps up, the quality is not high.Unlike his strong appearance, Cook's style of play is soft.

Swish!
Three-pointer hit, 45:39.
