NBA: Starting by Saving Kobe's Achilles

Save Kobe + SD Skill System + Passionate, All-Out Small-Ball Basketball + Rebuild the Purple and Gold Dynasty

On the eve of the 2011 lockout season, Lin Yi, a fringe forward carrying regrets from his previous life, is reborn in Los Angeles and awakens the [SD Basketball Heroes Compendium] System!

The Lakers are in turmoil, and Lin Yi knows all too well that the obsessive Black Mamba is heading step by step toward the abyss of a ruptured Achilles tendon in 2013.

“This time, I’ll take that damn ball-handling burden off his shoulders! The tragedy in that game against the Warriors will never happen again!”

He immediately unlocks [Takenori Akagi: Gorilla Swats a Fly]! On a Los Angeles streetball court, Lin Yi brutally swats Odom’s shot away with a block, then uses his reckless defense to capture the attention of Kobe, who had just stopped by to clear his head.

“This kid’s an obsessive lunatic. I like him!”

From then on, Lin Yi becomes the most reliable armed bodyguard at Kobe’s side.

Out of stamina? Trigger [Hisashi Mitsui: Never Give Up] and hit a game-winning three over the defense!

Double-teamed? Use [Kaede Rukawa: Offensive Kaleidoscope] and go head-to-head with peak LeBron and KD!

When the Golden State Warriors unleash their Death Lineup, Lin Yi fuses the ultimate talents of [Eiji Sawakita] and [Hiromi Mori] and fouls Draymond Green out of the game. “In the face of absolute talent, small ball is a joke!”

From end-of-the-bench scrub to all-around superstar, Lin Yi sweeps through the NBA with moves straight out of a manga.

When he puts up a huge score in the NBA Finals and is crowned Finals MVP, he turns and tosses the ball to the man at courtside, his Achilles intact and his eyes full of laughter:

“Old man, we had a deal. Take this seventh ring, then retire!”
