Changing Yao Ming's Career, Starting in the Offseason

Trading McGrady was absolutely the right decision. He was a regular season superstar, but his peak years were spent with the Magic in the first round of the playoffs. He was physically fragile and always relied on pull-up jumpers, resulting in low offensive efficiency. It's not that he wasn't good; all four of the top shooting guards were strong. But in the playoffs, McGrady just couldn't make a difference with the Rockets.

To be honest, even $1 billion in cash wouldn't buy you a stake in the Knicks. The Knicks are a team that makes money hand over fist.

Write less about kung fu, it's too awkward.

Yao Ming suffered three major injuries, and after losing weight, he was able to play two full seasons. It's impossible for him to avoid injury again, because this isn't a system novel, and the protagonist doesn't have any cheat codes. Moreover, Billups' peak period lasted a maximum of two seasons.

I can't stand this ridiculous hype about kung fu. Like I said, every martial art has its own killing techniques, so why is it that only Chinese kung fu is lost? If it's not good, it's not good. You can't expect centuries-old Muay Thai to beat modern Muay Thai. Surely no one really thinks traditional martial artists are better than modern martial artists trained with all sorts of mechanical science? Enough already.

Your description tells me there are punctuation problems throughout your entire text. 😅

I feel the author could revise the synopsis. It's somewhat discouraging for readers. I still can't understand why a Chinese person would join such a terrible team like the Rockets, and why the owner would trust them enough to trade McGrady. The synopsis feels like a short plot, not very engaging. And starting in 2008 makes it seem like Yao Ming didn't have many years left in his prime, considering all the injuries he'd suffered.

I think it would be more reasonable for Battier to play positions 2 and 3, and Artest to play positions 3 and 4.

Sorry, I'm not reading James's novels anymore.
