In 2025, Lin Feng signed with the NBA Development League as an undrafted player and sat on the bench for 37 games.
The night before he was laid off, his cell phone suddenly had a blue screen. A palm-sized holographic lady was suspended on the screen, tilting her head to look at him:
"Hey, do you want to compete in subjects? I can show you."
The AI trainer "Xiao Xi" from 2058 can dismantle any star's famous stunts into trainable muscle memory modules.
Iverson's Crossover? 23 Modules, parsed.
McGrady's pull-up jumper? 31 Modules, start downloading.
Carter's full set of finishing moves? 44 Modules, being unlocked.
From the Development League water cooler to the starting shooting guard in the NBA, from being the pessimist of the entire network to the Asian Games gold medal.
The reporter asked him what was the secret of his success.
Lin Feng paused: "I watched the video more carefully."
In her mind, Xiao Xi snorted: "This guy is pretty good at pretending, I give it 8 points."
