Basketball: Back to 2006, Awakening the Leonard Template

Zhang Lingfeng is reborn in a parallel world, returning to 2006 as an undrafted player on the Dallas Mavericks.

It is Game 6 of the Finals.

In the American Airlines Center, roaring like a tidal wave, Zhang Lingfeng awakens Leonard's talent template.

This time, there's no way he's letting the championship slip through their fingers!

Coach Johnson: I don't know how to express what I'm feeling right now, but this is the beauty of basketball.

The German Tank, Nowitzki: Thank you, Zhang Lingfeng! Without him, I never would have had the chance to lift the championship trophy.

The Shark, O'Neal: I'm devastated. The championship was right within reach, and God was on our side, but we still lost the whole series.

The Flash, Wade: Don't ask me! Damn it! Why did they have Zhang Lingfeng!

Reporter: Zhang Lingfeng, how would you rate Wade's performance during the Finals?

Zhang Lingfeng: No question, a nine! He could have done better!
