The Xiangyang High School basketball team is a ragtag team that has been at the bottom year after year.
Captain Xiang Yang, neither tall nor fast nor strong, averages 12 points per game, but is the most irreplaceable person in the team. His weapon is not his talent, but his free throws at five o'clock in the morning, every time he falls to the ground to save the ball, and his paranoia that makes a person out of a piece of loose sand.
Among the teammates are the maniac who never passes the ball, the paranoid who still trains at four in the morning after his Achilles tendon is ruptured, the sleep god who pulls out with his eyes closed, the shooter who dares not look at people, the center whose fists are faster than his brain, and the twin forward brothers who compete with each other. Eight abandoned talents were picked up one by one by the legendary coach.
From the 5:15 disastrous defeat on the field court, to the defeat with only four players left in the team; from the revenge battle when all the senior high school players returned, to the three-overtime victory to win the championship - this is not a cheating counterattack, but an epic of youth standing up from the mud with gritted teeth and sweat.
There are real basketball tactics, explosive game scenes, buns at four in the morning, spectators with a hundred chairs, band-aids on the backs of hands, and three banners that will never fade.
"The direction is right, always right."
"At the free throw line, there's always someone telling you good shots."
If you have ever practiced alone until dark, if you also believe that "a person can go fast, a group of people can go far" - this book will hit you.

The descriptions are detailed, each person has a different personality, but the identity can be found.
Very interesting, but a little short. I'll wait for the second part or a sequel.
