The NBA Dream of a Food-Delivery Athlete

No System + Not reborn + Passionate (P.S. It’s strange: I changed the reborn setting after only a few tens of thousands of words. I don’t know why so many readers still say he’s reborn, haha.)

After his family falls on hard times, his father works several jobs a day and ages before his time, his hair turning white. His mother, once a wealthy lady, becomes a laughingstock. His little sister, once the family’s darling, can no longer afford kindergarten. Even his childhood sweetheart looks down on him and leaves him for someone else.

Forced to use his mother’s identity to deliver food, thirteen-year-old Luo Ran dreams of changing everything. Looking around, he sees only basketball as a way to fight his way forward and defy fate.

This is the story of a gifted boy who trains relentlessly and surpasses himself, with no System.

The pacing is a little slow-burn, as the protagonist grows step by step. If you find it too slow, the book is divided into sections.
