The Substitute Basketball Prodigy

share time: 2025-12-22 06:03:58

Lin Xiaoman is the 'invisible substitute' of her high school women's basketball team—she hasn't touched a game ball in three years, yet always stays late to practice alone until the gym locks. No one knows she was once a 'scoring machine' in the junior league, until a critical missed shot led to online bullying that made her lock her basketball dream away. When the team captain suffers a ligament tear before the semi-finals, the coach has no choice but to put her in. As she stands on the court in an ill-fitting jersey, a familiar male voice rings out: 'Xiaoman, don't hide like you did three years ago.' Is it her former deskmate who first called her 'the one who ruined the team'? Or the anonymous fan who's saved all her training videos? Her hands clutching the ball shake—what she needs to win isn't the game, but the version of herself that's afraid to shoot again.
