Name: NBA: Getting the Entire League to Tank from the Start
Author: Lee Lime

Synopsis

He travels across the ocean to chase his dream in Los Angeles. No one believes in Xie Fei, a young Chinese player, but with incredible discipline and otherworldly talent, he shatters racial prejudice in the European and American basketball world and begins a legendary run across the country.

An all-around, five-tool player combining Vince Carter’s athleticism, Olajuwon’s defensive mastery, and Tim Duncan’s fundamentals, Xie Fei starts out as a UCLA freshman. Day after day, he sticks to his 4 a.m. training sessions and reshapes the team’s entire tactical system through his own efforts. On the NCAA court, he opens his career with a historic triple-double, goes head-to-head with top American talents like Kevin Durant and Greg Oden, smothers opponents with suffocating defense, and stuns the nation with an impossibly long game-winner, leading his team to 38 straight victories and cementing his legend.

After becoming an overnight sensation, he signs a million-dollar endorsement deal with Nike and tops NBA draft projections as the No. 1 pick. He becomes a superstar prospect coveted by 16 teams tanking for a chance to draft him, carries the hopes of Chinese basketball, and is hailed by millions of fans as the sport’s next great light after Yao Ming. On the court, he dominates at both ends and rules the game as he pursues the NBA’s highest stage. In life, he protects his loved ones and remains loyal, waiting for his family to reunite with him across the ocean. From an unknown rookie to a basketball prodigy in the spotlight, Xie Fei pushes forward with youthful passion, putting down roots in Los Angeles at four in the morning. Step by step, he rewrites the history of the NCAA and NBA, forging a new legend for Chinese basketball.

Some Normal Basketball Stories, Please

Something more realistic, please. Don't have someone shatter the basketball hoop with a dunk and leave the whole crowd stunned every other chapter. The league rules have prohibited shattering the hoop since 1993, and it results in no points and a foul. Even in a novel, things should make sense.
