This is a long, realistic basketball novel with no System, no cheat abilities, and no stat-point allocation. It is not a power fantasy, but a slow-burn coming-of-age story that faithfully recreates the legendary journey of a Chinese player, from arriving in the United States as a high school freshman to a nineteen-year NBA career, charting the true rise of a flagbearer for Chinese men's basketball. The story stays grounded in the realities of professional basketball: no cheats, no one-man carry jobs, and no leaps up multiple levels at once. At its heart is the story of an ordinary person who, through obsessive discipline and clear-eyed self-awareness, crosses social barriers one step at a time and fulfills the basketball dreams of two generations.
The protagonist doesn't have cheats to carry him through. He sets off for the United States alone, relying only on the hard drive his father left him and the hopes his father placed in him, then grows step by step into one of basketball's legends. He may never score 100 points in a game or possess any other outrageously overpowered abilities. This is the story of an ordinary person. May everyone grow through hardship, stay healthy, and achieve their dreams!
