>> Episode Summary of "Fire on the Court" Episode 1
The National University Basketball League, a prestigious stage for student basketball, is holding its highly anticipated championship match - fierce games, incredible skills. In this top-level classic game, there's an agile figure like a whirlwind capturing everyone's attention with mid-air crossovers, fadeaway jump shots. Just before the whistle blows, a beautiful arc in mid-air concludes the game with a stunning "Kang Long Bu Hui" whirlwind dunk - the god of basketball, Dongfang Xiang!
At the same time, in a remote mountain village with less than a hundred people, a leaping figure attempts to perform Dongfang Xiang's ultimate move, "Kang Long Bu Hui." Yuan Daheng, a young man from this small mountain village, grew up with his grandmother who has always hated him playing basketball. However, Daheng insists on playing even if it means getting beaten. Sure enough, he gets caught again and receives another beating.
Daheng's argument with his grandmother over playing basketball leads to her sudden death due to heart problems. Before passing away, she fulfills Daheng's dream of playing basketball and hands him a golden-threaded basketball, telling him to go to Leiling University and seek out someone named Li Tianren. Only after his grandmother's death does Daheng learn that she was once a renowned female basketball player.
Daheng leaves his hometown with the golden-threaded basketball, determined to find this person, believing they must have a deep connection to "basketball."
As Daheng takes his first step towards pursuing basketball, on a bus, he accidentally drops the ball out of the window. He leaps out of the window onto a luxury car to retrieve it, simultaneously encountering Dongfang Xiang. At the same moment, a man riding a motorcycle with sharp eyes locks onto these two individuals with excellent jumping abilities. This person disappeared from the basketball scene years ago - the soulless one, Wujizun.
Their brief encounter marks the beginning of their intertwined destinies...
Leiling University, known nationwide for its outstanding academic research, excels in various academic competitions. Under the strict and conservative school atmosphere, students are dedicated to their studies. Especially under the governance of President Li Ziping over the past decade, which emphasizes academics over sports, athletic club activities have not been thriving, particularly basketball.
Li Ying, fresh from the NBA team in the United States, arrives at Leiling University and takes on the position of head coach for the university basketball team!
At this time, Daheng comes to seek refuge under Li Ziping. Due to the past relationship and friendship between Li Ziping's father, Li Tian, and Tie Lan, Li Ziping accepts Yuan Daheng and exceptionally allows him to attend Leiling College. This is the first time Li Ying meets Daheng and understands Daheng's dream of playing basketball. Although Li Ying doesn't yet know Daheng's capabilities, he accepts him as his first player.
When Daheng and Li Ying arrive at Leiling University's dark, messy basement, which is flooded with water, they see Du Fei, the only member of the basketball team, diligently cleaning up after last night's heavy rain. Upon receiving the basketball association, Li Ying immediately retrieves the member information and finds out that the association has only three people, including the phantom president Qi Xiaoyun and the treasurer Qi Xiaoyu.
At this point, Dongfang Xiang transfers from the undefeated basketball powerhouse Xuanwu Vocational School to Leiling College! In reality, Dongfang Xiang's transfer to Leiling, where basketball is not flourishing, is akin to announcing his retirement from basketball - Daheng, having heard of Dongfang Xiang's prowess, approaches him wanting a challenge but is refused. Meanwhile, Daheng sees a new student - Zhan Jie'er. Jie'er's appearance reminds Daheng of his childhood friend Guguji, leading him to develop special feelings for her.
Jie'er, carrying her luggage alone far from home, struggles to find suitable accommodation on her first day of school. Sitting alone on the street in distress, a man drives up - it's Dongfang Xiang, someone she least wants to see! It turns out Jie'er, the personal driver for Dongfang Corporation's president, has grown up alongside "Young Master" Dongfang Xiang since childhood. She went to great lengths to leave home and study elsewhere just to avoid seeing him again. Although puzzled by his appearance so far from home, Jie'er realizes that the only person she can rely on now might be...
Jie'er is in the same class as Daheng. Daheng's approach makes Dongfang Xiang feel uneasy, and he accepts Daheng's challenge. The bet is ten shots; if Daheng scores one shot, he wins. As expected, Dongfang Xiang quickly scores nine points, leaving just one more...

For the final shot, as Dongfang Xiang prepares to shoot, Daheng suddenly leaps up to an astonishing height and snatches the ball from Dongfang Xiang. However, Dongfang Xiang coldly declares that Daheng has committed a foul (according to basketball rules, intercepting the ball mid-air is only allowed during the upward trajectory of the ball's parabola, not the downward trajectory!).
When Daheng concedes and wants to continue, Dongfang Xiang has lost interest. While chasing Dongfang Xiang, Daheng unexpectedly spots Wujizun and his younger brother Wujiewei observing their game through binoculars from afar. They abandon their argument and chase after the Wujizun brothers to investigate but fail.
On the other hand, Li Ying urgently recalls the fiery and combative Qi brothers back to the team to reassemble the basketball team. With five players, including Dongfang Xiang, they can form a complete team.
Li Ying uses Daheng's single challenge against Dongfang Xiang, where he blocked Dongfang Xiang's shot, to create media hype. He also deliberately provokes Dongfang Xiang through Daheng and cleverly utilizes Daheng's affection for Jie'er to motivate him. Daheng, in order to win against Dongfang Xiang, even performs the "Kang Long Bu Hui," dunking both himself and the ball into the hoop, making Dongfang Xiang accept the bet and join the team.
However, Dongfang Xiang's joining creates unexpected obstacles as his father exerts pressure on Principal Li Ziping, disapproving of Dongfang Xiang playing basketball for Leiling University. Therefore, Li Ziping sets a condition: unless Li Ying's Leiling basketball team can defeat last year's provincial runner-up Cheng Lin basketball team, and the Cheng Lin basketball team's coach was once Li Ying's lover? If they lose, Li Ying will have to honor his promise and resign as the Leiling basketball team coach.
Knowing that Li Ying has bet his life on them, the Leiling basketball team members are willing to give their all... Daheng, aside from his extraordinary jumping ability and brute strength, starts practicing basic dribbling skills.

Although dribbling is a fundamental skill, it is incredibly difficult for Daheng. But for the sake of betting their lives on basketball, both Li Ying and Daheng push themselves hard. Except for sleeping, Daheng spends all his time dribbling to fulfill the condition set by Li Ying - successfully dribbling across the bridge equals success. Compared to other players with good foundations, Li Ying becomes somewhat concerned about Daheng's situation. However, after witnessing the natural and effortless dribbling of the Wujizun brothers crossing the bridge, Daheng gains some insight. The appearance of the Wujizun brothers not only helps Daheng understand the key to dribbling but also ignites his passion for basketball with their remarkable skills.
Just as Daheng is about to successfully dribble across the bridge, Jie'er suddenly appears and interrupts their practice. They temporarily stop practicing and go to a convenience store. Jie'er, wanting to apologize, offers to buy Daheng something to eat but forgets her money. Daheng kindly puts the items back, indicating that he only wants a steamed bun. Daheng's thoughtfulness makes Jie'er feel warm, and after their heartwarming moment, Daheng successfully dribbles across the bridge under Jie'er's protection. All of this is witnessed by Li Ying, who sees Daheng's dedication and self-discipline and is deeply moved. A series of practices follow in preparation for the friendly match against Cheng Lin. After Daheng learns to dribble, he begins practicing shooting but consistently shoots perfect swish shots, eventually being punished harshly by Li Ying with a barrage of balls. However, Daheng retaliates with a fiery shot - the "Basketball Fire," which even Dongfang Xiang witnesses. Originally expecting to face Cheng Lin with four versus five, they now have additional strength. The match against Cheng Lin begins, and Cheng Lin proves to be formidable, putting the newly formed Leiling team on the defensive. Particularly, Cheng Lin's deliberate covert attacks on Leiling players provoke arguments between the Qi brothers and the opponents. Adding to this, Dongfang Xiang also accuses the opponent of covert attacks, causing chaos on the court. These three Leiling players are penalized off the court with no substitutes available, leaving Leiling to play two against five?
Unexpectedly, Du Fei and Daheng manage to score quite a bit through a series of unconventional tactics. However, they ultimately cannot withstand the pressure. Before the start of the second half, Daheng goes to the restroom and coincidentally encounters the Wujizun brothers. Wujizun hands Daheng a DV showing Cheng Lin's foul behavior, allowing Dongfang and the Qi brothers to return to the court in a friendly match scenario. On the court, they exchange moves back and forth. In the last minute, Leiling is trailing by just one point. Dongfang Xiang tells his teammate to pass the ball to Daheng first while whispering something in Daheng's ear. This sentence causes Daheng to lose morale on the court, lacking the motivation to pass the ball after receiving it. Accumulating anger, Daheng runs uncontrollably toward the basket with the ball, glaring at Dongfang Xiang with four seconds left.

It turns out that on the court, Dongfang Xiang hinted according to Li Ying's instructions that he had a good relationship with Jie'er, causing Daheng to be consumed by jealousy. In the last second, Daheng unleashes an unstoppable "Basketball Fire!"
Despite narrowly defeating Cheng Lin, the Leiling team rejoices, but Daheng continues to misunderstand and secretly suffers emotionally. Eventually, Dongfang Xiang reveals to Daheng that everything said on the court was fabricated, restoring Daheng's spirit. Reinvigorated, Daheng immediately resumes pursuing Jie'er but unexpectedly gets into an argument with Dongfang Xiang and Jie'er. This incident even involves Jie'er, resulting in her injury. Dongfang Xiang is furious, whereas Jie'er, despite being injured, defends Daheng, further enraging Dongfang Xiang. Consequently, Dongfang Xiang decides to leave Leiling University. Unable to stop him, when Dongfang Xiang prepares to drive away, he is surrounded by unknown individuals seemingly attempting to kidnap him. Fortunately, Daheng arrives and fights valiantly against ten assailants, though he eventually succumbs. Just as Dongfang Xiang is about to fall, the Wujizun brothers unexpectedly appear to rescue them, allowing Daheng to take Dongfang Xiang to the hospital. When Dongfang Xiang is saved, Daheng is severely injured and nearly loses his life, making Dongfang Xiang feel both apologetic and grateful. As Daheng recovers, Dongfang Xiang's hostility towards Daheng noticeably diminishes. When Jie'er's birthday arrives, Dongfang Xiang originally prepared a thoughtful gift but decides to put it away upon seeing Jie'er dating Daheng. His deep affection for Jie'er from childhood can only be buried deep within. As the Leiling team is officially named "Leiling Fenghuo Lang Team," the provincial league of this session is about to begin. The Leiling Fenghuo Lang team's first official match is against the top-four team in the provincial league - Xinrui Wild Bears Team.
