Afterword

When I started my book, I didn't expect a good one. Being French, I started with Google Translate, resulting in many spelling mistakes.

I never looked for quality, but I clearly envisioned what I wanted. I know that I did not exploit the system much. Initially, I wanted a realistic scenario, but implementing a system makes this scenario unrealistic.

So, I erased it from history and don't regret it. Hector's progression is that of a regular prospect. We are not talking about a generational talent but someone who has the intangible and exceptional potential with work.

The layer was Giannis. If you compare Hector's progress to Giannis', you'll see a lot of similarities.

To get to the top, failure is necessary. Hector had to know defeat before he had the glory. After his three-peat, karma was returned, just as he waited four seasons before making the playoffs.

The first four seasons were modeled on the Kings' seasons before 2023. As of 2023, he was missing something that took him two years to have. This thing was an influential agent. You don't win an MVP in a snap, and there are conflicts of interest of every media or agent who would like their clients to be MVPs.

That's why Belinda started as an intern with an influential NBA agent, and the time to build strong relationships, two years is enough. At that time, the way was evident because they could not give a third one to Doncic.

For better or worse, Hector was too regular a player to be appreciated at his fair value. Before the title season, there were too few games with incredible performances each season, making him stay in the media for a week.

In the end, I couldn't make the last volume because, in my opinion, finishing at the top was the best way to conclude.

It wasn't the best novel, but it was suitable for boredom. Boredom is recurrent daily, and I am no different from you. Everyone is looking for a book that suits them, and it's just that I dared to write it.

I never thought I could write almost 200 chapters because I'm just a casual reader, not a writer.

I was tired of all these Chinese MCs with abusive systems who were MVP in one click, and the lack of a book on basketball at the time I wrote the first chapter bothered me. That drove my desire to write, and I don't regret anything.

As said earlier, this is not the best story. But at least I dare to do so. Once I started, I couldn't leave it incomplete. I went to the end of my ideas, and in the end, the realism I wanted made me conclude this book.

Have the audacity to get started. No matter the reactions, you have nothing to lose as long as you try. If he's looking for something quality by criticizing your story, let them write it themselves.

I want to thank you for your support as a "writer." Thanks to you, I was able to go so far. I will not say names; there are too many, but you have all my gratitude. If you feel concerned by his words, you are right. I am talking about you.
