[LeBron fans, read at your own risk: the characters are sharp-tongued, and everyone gets treated equally.] [Starts at max level, with tons of special moves and beautiful women.]
Cheng Yuan transmigrates into the body of an undrafted player from the 2004 NBA draft. After activating the “Basketball GOAT System,” he makes a sensational debut at the Athens Olympics and begins his own basketball legend.
More than one superstar: “Cheng Yuan’s trash talk is laced with poison. It kills you and crushes your spirit.”
More than one actress: “Cheng Yuan is a demon sent by God to torment me, but I’m kind of enjoying it.”
More than one fan: “I suspect Cheng Yuan has the Sharingan, but I have no proof.”
(This novel will give some players I like, who never won a championship, the chance to fulfill their dreams of winning one. If there are any championship-less players whose careers left you with regrets, feel free to mention them in the comments. As for the way LeBron is portrayed, let me make one thing clear: I respect his discipline and appreciate his reasonable public statements. Most of the novel is just playing around with memes, and I’ll do my best not to bash him unfairly. I hope LeBron fans can take it in stride, or simply move on.)
I listened to the audiobook and read it, reaching over 170 chapters. It has no bad points, the writing is quite good, and there are plenty of laughs. Most importantly, it avoids those overused, tired scenes, like the score scrambles and the protagonist's buzzer-beater often seen in other basketball novels. In this book, the protagonist levels up very quickly, accumulating wealth, beauty, and glory—it's an absolutely awesome and satisfying read. You can read it with confidence.
I really liked the previous book, and this one is just as informative, making me feel more knowledgeable and reminiscing about my youth. However, the writing style is more mature, and the storytelling is stronger. Super good read, great writing, exciting plot, haha, just not very friendly to Jamal Jaime 🤦
I almost missed out on a great book because of the ratings. 1. The pacing is excellent; the balance between competition, daily life, and romance is comfortable to read. The author clearly did extensive research and preparation. 2. Having read over 150 chapters, the choice of the female lead is good.
The author writes well, but I'm unsure how to handle the situation with LeBron. I like LeBron, so is there any problem with him leaving when his contract expires? Ugh, my brain just can't process these things. Overall, it's quite well-written and worth reading (though I'm finding it a bit hard to continue; I've been watching LeBron's older matches recently and he doesn't seem as bad as people online say).
It's like a popular science article; before each game starts, it introduces the history of all the players.
A great new book with a good start, very enjoyable. Hopefully it doesn't go awry later on. I'll support it! Keep it up, don't release any more poison later.
I thought I was immune to all poisons, but after reading just one chapter, I still broke down.
This is probably the best-written book of its kind I've ever read, and it also includes various interesting anecdotes from the world of sports that I didn't know before.
Five-star review! A high-quality novel.
