In this chapter, we are introduced to a young basketball player named Ling, who has just arrived in Shanghai. He is a member of the team of "xin wu" , and he is playing against his former team, the "big peng" . The coach of the big peng's team, "Ge shui," is worried about the young man's health, but he assures Ling that he will not match-fix any game. He tells Ling to stick to the "dupering kid" and not to let the kid make three-pointers, because he will be useless.
