Father of Basketball: From the Start, Coaching Yao to a Championship

Han Ning wakes up one morning to find himself back in 2002, the year Yao Ming first joined the NBA.

He plans to apply for an assistant coaching job with the Houston Rockets, but through a strange twist of fate, he ends up replacing Rudy as the team's head coach.

The Rockets, coaching Yao Ming... Just thinking about it gets me excited, right?!

System: Don't get too excited. Take rookie Yao Ming and win a championship for me!

Han Ning: What?!

Win a championship with the 2002 Rockets?!

This isn't the future Yao Ming, already a top star in the league, and McGrady hasn't joined the team yet!

The roster is also full of role players who look good on paper but can't deliver, along with terrible contracts.

Remember, Shaquille O'Neal is still in his prime this year, dominating on the court. The Spurs have all three of their star players together.

You're asking me to lead the team to a championship on hell difficulty?!
