The Champion's Playbook

Even with established authors releasing new books, there are still a lot of minor issues. I only read one chapter before I couldn't continue. Serbia is the country's name after 2006; before 2003, it was called the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and from 2003 to 2006, it was called Serbia and Montenegro.

Every subscription you make is like a mockery of Lao He's wallet. What? Does Feng Xiaogang look down on the audience, just like Lao He looks down on you high and mighty people? After all, a movie ticket costs tens of yuan, but following an old book by Lao He is more expensive than a movie ticket. Look, they're using the money you all worked so hard to earn to fulfill their artistic dreams.

Can you please refund my points? I tolerated the lack of trades and draft picks before, but the Ben Gordon storyline seemed off, so I saved them up. Now, this is another huge mistake! They're forcibly using their clairvoyance to make the Thunder trade Westbrook for Harden and Curry, trade Yao Ming to the Spurs, and only give Lynch DeRozan in return?! Xxx, refund my money!

At first, I thought, "Wow, that's great writing, sir!" Later, when it got to the NBA, I did complain a bit, but lately there are just too many plot holes! First, there's the team conflict—a mercenary who gets into fights, and he only signed a one-year contract? You could call him manic, I'd accept that. Then there's the draft manipulation, and the general manager gets played like a rookie.

Grant Hill's retirement and huge contract, Eddie Jones' expiring and huge contract, Stephon Marbury's huge contract—that was the salary situation before! Now Hill is retired, Jones' contract has expired, leaving only Marbury's huge contract and the protagonist's newly signed huge contract. Why is there no salary cap space to strengthen the team?

Oh my god, the Manhattan Project is ending with DeRozan... Is this some kind of poison? Does DeRozan even deserve Manhattan? Does he even know how awesome he is?

For over a decade, there's been no progress. It's always been a cycle of "comebacks" and "face-slapping," except now it's adopting a pretentious, artsy approach, like the novel *Silent Love*. What a waste. All the previous effort has culminated in a shoddy version of *Silent Love*. It's always suppressing the protagonist.

This is ridiculous! Did the Rockets go crazy, or did they find a gold mine beneath the Spurs' arena? Why couldn't they trade Yao Ming for him? Why not trade Chandler and Ariza? After all, if the Spurs can trade three first-round picks plus some fringe players for the New York Knicks, why can't they? If I were the protagonist, I'd teach Presti a lesson. He's a complete waste of space.

Grant Hill retired during the offseason after winning the championship, dude, are you the New York Knicks? The protagonist, a mere rookie, didn't strengthen the team and just watched the roster age. Now I'm out of books to read and came back to check it out, but I didn't expect the review section to still be discussing this issue. It just goes to show that the author's attempt to suppress the power levels resulted in logical inconsistencies that some people (including me) can't accept.

Almost all of it is over. Seeing such a blatantly fake talent show, I guess I have to say goodbye to this book. 👋
