Chapter 1 1. Kobe Bryant Injured
On the night of April 2013, 4, Staples Center.

The entire arena was crowded with people, and the applause and cheers were deafening.

As the absolute leader of the Los Angeles Lakers, Kobe is now leading the team on the court to work hard for a pass to the playoffs.

As the Lakers' opponent tonight, Golden State leads by six points with less than six minutes left in the game.

Due to Stephen Curry's overwhelming touch tonight, coupled with the fact that the Lakers have not been in a good state recently, many people are not very optimistic that the Lakers can win tonight's game.

Dragging his exhausted body, Kobe has fallen to the ground several times, and his legs have become limping even for normal walking!
But helpless, the team needs him, he can't fall down yet!

Kobe is like this, as long as he can stand on the court, he will fight for the team without reservation.

Black Mamba is always like this, that's why he has "60 billion" fans!
With 5 minutes and 07 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Kobe received a pass from Blake on the outside, made a decisive shot, and hit a three-pointer on the right!
104: 107!

The Lakers are only 3 points behind!

The entire Staples Center is boiling again!

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

MVP chants, as always, sounded again in the Staples Center.

Everyone is cheering, and everyone is counting on Kobe to create miracles for them again.

But there is one exception.

This person is Tang De who is sitting on the bench at the moment!
As Tang De, who traveled from 2019, he knew what would happen next.

If there is no way to get Kobe off the court to rest, Kobe will experience the pain of a ruptured Achilles tendon, which will be a loss for basketball fans all over the world.

It has been half a year since Tang De traveled here and played for the Lakers.

As a time traveler, Tang De has his own system just like those written in online novels!
With the help of the system, he is already a stable rotation for the Lakers.

But the slight flapping of his butterfly wings cannot change history.

In other words, Kobe will still be injured!
"Coach, I think it's okay for Kobe to rest for a while, let me go up for a while. Let him save some energy for the last 3 minutes!"

Tang De tentatively suggested to D'Antoni again.

It's just who D'Antoni is, the main force is not just talking about it!

"Listen Don, you've been playing really well lately, but do you think you can replace Kobe? Do you know what it means to us that he's gone now? I'll give him time to rest after this game!"

Sure enough, Tang De's suggestion was once again ruthlessly rejected by D'Antoni.

Even D'Antoni was reluctant to rest Kobe, let alone Kobe himself.

If Tang De told Kobe to rest now, Kobe would probably go crazy!
The crazy Kobe, Tang De felt terrible just thinking about it.

During the Finals between the Lakers and the Celtics, if someone dared to put any green things in the Lakers' locker room, Kobe would be furious and smash any green things.

And all because the Celtics' jerseys are green!
But even so, after weighing the pros and cons, Tang De still felt the need to tell Kobe.

Whether Kobe listens or not is not something Tang De can control, but at least he will feel better if he speaks out.

So during the next timeout, Tang De walked up to Kobe's side and said everything he wanted to say.

"FXXK, Don, do you know what you're talking about? Are you kidding me? I was born to play, I live for it, and you're putting me off now?"

Just as Tang De expected, he really got a scolding from Kobe!
In this way, Tang De has nothing to do.

He can't tell everyone that he traveled from the future, and he knows the future direction of history.

If so, even if the Americans are more open, they will think he is a lunatic.

Maybe he will be kicked out of the Lakers directly because of this.

This is definitely not what Tang De wants to see. For the past six months, he has been training hard every day, and now he can play with the Lakers. This is really hard-earned!

Although Kobe is Tang De's idol, but in front of his own dream, nothing seems so important.

Soon, the timeout is over and the game will resume!
Tang De sat on the bench with a serious face, and the one sitting next to him was "Towel Master" Thackeray!

Thackeray is definitely a super optimist. Although he almost never has the opportunity to play in the Lakers and can only "wave the towel", he never complains and enjoys it.

After the game restarted this time, everything followed the original historical development track.

With 3 minutes and 08 seconds left in the game, Kobe dribbled through and faced Barnes' defense. With almost no physical contact, Kobe fell to the ground!

"Alas, did it happen or did it happen? FXXK, it's all just as bad as hell!"

Tang De slapped the seat angrily!

After Kobe fell to the ground, the game was suspended immediately!
After Kobe reluctantly scored two free throws, he returned to the locker room with Thackeray's support!

The score was tied at 109!
Kobe scored 34 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists before leaving the field!
With Kobe's injury and leaving the game, the atmosphere in the entire Lakers team became extremely depressing.

Staples Center was suddenly much quieter, too.

"Tang, you saw it too, and now I really regret not following your advice!"

D'Antoni looked terribly annoyed, with some remorse.

But there is no way, things have already happened, and the most important thing right now is to win tonight's game.

"Don, go ahead and take Kobe's place with you. You are taller than Kobe. Go up and give Stephen Curry some hot pot!"

Tang De was only 185 centimeters tall in his previous life, but apart from the system, height is also a benefit of time travel to Tang De.

Tang De, who had just crossed over, found that his body seemed a little abnormal, and only later did he realize that he was 18 centimeters taller than his previous life!

In other words, Tang De is now 203 cm tall, the perfect height of a small forward.

To put it bluntly, Tang De transmigrated into another body. Coincidentally, the owner of this body is also named Tang De, who is also from China!
"Don't worry, coach, I will work hard, I have ordered Curry's hot pot!"

Tang De walked onto the field slowly.

The turmoil of Kobe's injury has come to an end for a while, and the game will continue.

The Warriors players suffered, and while Kobe's injury had nothing to do with them, the Staples fans didn't think so.

In their view, the Warriors are the culprit of everything. If it weren't for the Warriors or Barnes, Kobe would not have been injured.

So when the game resumes, as soon as the Warriors touch the ball, there will be endless boos in the arena!
