A Fadeaway Never Misses From the Start, and Kobe’s Stunned by the Long Windup

[NBA + World of Warcraft + Alternate Universe]

Bai Ying, the NBA’s most volatile Chinese bruiser, is Yao’s most loyal bodyguard.

On the court, he plays brutally, routinely grinding the Pistons’ famed starting five into the floor.

Off the court, though, he’s a hardcore MMO addict who stays up all night running 40-player raids with Yao.

Desperate to make progress in the raid, Bai Ying sets his sights on an amazing priestess he just met online.

When they meet in person, she turns out to be Avril Lavigne, the Hollywood teen sensation taking America by storm?!

Avril, blushing and breathless: “Oh my God, he asked me to come to his mansion in the middle of the night. Is he going to...”

Bai Ying, cold-faced: “Cut the chatter and log in! Keep Yao healed. Let the tank go down and I’ll block you immediately!”

The clever way to solve the problem: use a rare mount dropped by the System to bribe a top-tier Hollywood star into working for free!

The American paparazzi go wild: “Shocking! The Chinese beast battles the teen sensation in his mansion every night until dawn?!”

Yao, wiping sweat from his brow: “Lao Bai, this misunderstanding is getting way out of hand. If they knew we were just playing WoW...”

Bai Ying: “Shut up and hold aggro!”

Come to think of it, why has this foreign priestess been looking at me more and more strangely lately?

Oh, and I never miss a fadeaway. Don’t tell anyone. I’m afraid they’ll cut me up for research...
