After Getting Cut, I Led My Team to the NBA

Lu Zheng was kicked out of the CBA and blacklisted across the industry. Reborn ten years earlier, he binds himself to the Tactical Sandbox.

He takes over the Chengnan No. 7 Middle School basketball team, where not one of the five players is normal: a shut-in who can't lift his head, a fat kid who gets winded after two steps, a troublemaker who only wants to fight, a bookworm who trembles even while dribbling, and a towering fool who fouls at every opportunity.

But Lu Zheng uses thousandfold-speed simulations to uncover everyone's hidden talent, turning duds into monsters and making geniuses look like shut-ins. The city champions sneer at them as a bunch of rejects, but he leads a comeback from thirty points down in twelve minutes. A provincial powerhouse sets a trap specifically for him, but he turns the tables and gets their star fouled out. When CBA coach Gao Zhiyuan bribes the referees and rigs a game, Lu Zheng plays a recording of him buying them off at a shareholders' meeting, broadcast live.

From high school to the NBA, he leads this band of unwanted boys to beat every genius into tears.
