The Legend of No. 9

The story focuses on a baseball team composed of sixteen shepherd boys from the plateau, who ultimately defeat their former rivals, the Beijing Decai Team, in the Hope Cup National Youth Baseball Championship, achieving the remarkable feat of swinging their bats to break free from their destinies. Former national player Yu Kun (played by Bai En), who retired due to a shoulder injury, finds himself disheartened until he is invited by the principal and female teacher Zhuoma (played by Yao Xingtong) to coach this team of young shepherds.
Under Yu Kun's leadership, the team evolves from being completely uncompetitive to showing promise, enduring countless moments of sweat and tears. They challenge their physical limits, confront emotional conflicts, and transform from self-doubt to bravely facing their fates, ultimately advancing through the ranks to stand on the national championship stage. Just at the decisive moment, head coach Yu Kun unexpectedly goes missing, and Duo Jie, wearing the number 9 jersey, steps up to bring hope to the team.
