Jiang Li, the star center of Haicheng Whales, played through injury for his brothers in the finals, only to be sold off cheaply by the management with Han Zheng’s approval. In his first game after joining Beichuan Falcons, fed relentless passes by point guard Cheng Ye, Jiang Li scored seventy points and shattered the lie that he was a “washed-up injury case.” General manager Su Wantang staked the team’s future on him, but veteran Wei Chengfeng refused to submit. His old team’s blockade, the predators of capital, and the weight of a championship destiny all close in. Jiang Li will fight game after game to reclaim the throne that belongs to him.
