"Coach, I want to play basketball." ... ... "Sure enough, basketball is my favorite sport."
He was once considered Ronaldo's replacement, but left the team due to the club's underestimation of him. He was once Messi's mentor, but moved to a new league for more complex reasons. Along the way with these two superstars, Gu Xiang rose to prominence, crushing all his opponents and becoming the undisputed "number one superstar in football."
(A coming-of-age story with a system)
There is a team in the NBA that makes its own fans' blood boil and makes its opponents tremble with fear. That team is the Boston Celtics, who once created the miracle of winning 10 championships in 11 years and also have the most championships. However, since Larry Bird retired, the Boston Celtics have been in decline and are mired in a quagmire!
Cardinal Auerbach was searching for Bird's successor, accumulating a wealth of promising small forwards, but none of them were Bird. Forget leading the team back to the top, they couldn't even make the playoffs... until this man appeared...
Keigo Atobe's twin brother, who adores his older brother (pure brotherly love!). The story follows the growth of a sporty young boy, initially focusing on slice-of-life, then transitioning to the Prince of Tennis main storyline, a crossover anime plot, and possibly a Haikyuu!! main storyline later on. It might even go off on its own, though I'll try my best, but it's still undecided. The main pairing is Yukimura, and it's unlikely to change unless something unexpected happens... well, we'll see. Also: the romance will develop in the later part of the main story, and it will be slow-paced and gentle, not dramatic. If you're expecting a sweet, lovey-dovey romance from the start, please ignore this. The protagonist isn't that kind of character; the kind who dominates the world with tennis is out of the question. This protagonist won't just be involved in one sport club, as I want to incorporate elements from several anime. It will be more slice-of-life. Note: slice-of-life, please don't ask me why he doesn't dominate the world, he won't. Due to work, I'll try my best to maintain consistent updates, occasionally taking days off to update around 6,000 words a day, and I'll try to keep it stable to avoid abandoning the project. Please support me! As usual, I'll patch up any regrets I can, but there's nothing I can do about those. This story doesn't follow logic, so please just enjoy it.

Yu Guiwan, living in the apocalypse, had thought about all sorts of ways she could die, but she never imagined that she, a top-notch chef, could be poisoned to death by a pot of mushroom soup!
She was filled with humiliation, only to discover that she had traveled through time.
Even more humiliating was that, as soon as she came back to life, her heart was stabbed by the original owner's husband, her immortal bones were removed, and all of them were given to his innocent and virtuous disciple, euphemistically called a sacrifice of love.
Yu Guiwan: You scoundrel, you know how to use a CPU!
But what she didn't expect was that she could transmigrate again. When she opened her eyes again, there was still a year before her immortal bones were taken away... She decided to cultivate diligently and hold on for the time being!
She made a comeback, taking cooking as her path, and became known as an unambitious culinary practitioner.
Yu Guiwan: I'm not afraid!
With a flick of the spatula and a toss of the pot, she can make everything from boiled pork slices and spicy crab to snail rice noodles—if you can imagine it, she can make it! Doesn't that smell amazing?
Joined the poorest sect? No problem!
Is it just about earning spirit stones? She does mukbangs, delivers takeout, and even the Sword Sect's top experts have become her delivery guys. Why would she worry about going broke?
Before he knew it, he had won over many powerful figures, and even the cold and aloof Demon Lord had the audacity to come and freeload a meal.
Lin Yuan, who was just one Olympic gold medal away from achieving legendary status, suffered a muscle strain in the Beijing Winter Olympics final and was unexpectedly eliminated. Unable to accept the reality, Lin Yuan was reborn in a drunken stupor. He returned to his first year of high school, a time brimming with endless possibilities. With his decades of track and field skills and the perk of his rebirth—the Champion System—watch as Lin Yuan creates his own glorious legacy in this life…
Wang Jie, who had just been reborn, was completely bewildered to find that he had actually won the NBA championship. Although he won it as a benchwarmer, it was still a championship! When the system distributed the championship rewards, the five consecutive ultimate skills that could boost his and his teammates' attributes by 20% made him think, "The championship is really awesome!"
Returning to 2003, Wang Song starts by obtaining the "Steady Progress Leads to Strength" system.
Wang Song, who has always been calm and composed, immediately learned the detailed methods to become stronger, starting with being "steady".
While others practice 100 hook shots under the basket every day, he practices 500 reverse shots to maintain a more consistent shooting percentage...
After a year of rigorous training, the basic attributes have reached their peak.
This coincided with the NCAA March Madness, and the "Steady Progress Leads to Strength" system released newbie missions, with successful championship wins unlocking more modules.
Thus began Wang Song's basketball journey.
From entering the NBA through the draft to winning his first championship to building a dynasty, he began to write his legend.
In 1996, Michael Jordan reclaimed the throne, the four great centers dominated the paint, and the Golden Generation emerged. The NBA entered its greatest era! Wang Ting, transported to this era, starts with the most perfect human physique—the Ghost Back Body! His terrifying muscle strength and ferocious, devilish smile allow him to surpass human limits in every aspect of his physical abilities. He soars through the air, bombards the rim, blotting out the sky, and even breaks the backboard! A monster from the East is ruling the basketball world! "10th block! Tonight, Wang Ting has turned the entire area inside the three-point line into a no-fly zone!" "The fall of the basketball god, the four great centers..."
To avoid a premature death in a car accident, Lu Xi tearfully accepted the arrangement of a certain time-space management system to enter the Holy Light Continent and earn a "second chance" gift package. However, advertisements are not to be trusted. All that talk of a wondrous magical life, all that dazzling magical beasts and plants—it's all fake! The truth is, her initial character was so poor she only had a wooden shack and a few tattered clothes; she couldn't even get a whole piece of hard, unchewable black bread! Since she was already here, what could she do? Lu Xi could only try her best to survive. Just when she was about to be burned at the stake, she was suddenly told she was the illegitimate daughter of a count and now the heir to the title! Lu Xi initially thought the system had suddenly taken pity on her, but that wasn't the case at all. She wondered what was with this guy who suddenly appeared claiming to be a demon? So, she got this heir position by selling her soul? When did this happen?! Some readers have mentioned the issue with the purchase ratio of VIP chapters. Indeed, this is the first time we've implemented a reverse VIP system, and things weren't handled well. For now, we'll remove the anti-piracy measures and add them back later once the story is longer. However, completely abandoning anti-piracy measures isn't an option either; those who steal content really don't know what politeness is...
