You Get Paid Just for Playing? What Kind of Basketball Is This?

[A feel-good sports story] [A journey of growth] [China in the early stages, the NBA and international competitions later on]

In his previous life, Lin Yuan was a provincial team coach who devoted his entire life to Chinese basketball.

Then, during that game against Japan, he was so enraged that he died in front of the television.

When he opened his eyes again, it was 2001.

Wang Zhizhi had just made it to the NBA, while Yao Ming was still waiting for the draft.

And Lin Yuan had awakened the [Great Nation Sports Revival System].

Unlimited funding, unlimited resources, all for one goal:

Build a Chinese sports empire from the ground up.

[Yao Ming, Potential: 93]

[Duan Xingchen, Potential: 91]

Hold nationwide tryouts, establish youth training programs, and improve the league system.

While others were still debating the problems with the system, he had already sent players to the NCAA.

While the world was still mocking Chinese basketball, his team had already made it to the finals.

In this life, Chinese basketball would no longer play on its knees.

(For the rise of Chinese sports, and to make an old dream from 2008 come true.)
