PING PONG PLAYA
The Story:
Christopher "C-dub" Wang (Jimmy Tsai) blames genetics for his failure to make the NBA, lives at home, works a dead-end job, and squirms in the shadow of his older brother, Michael (Roger Fan), a doctor and ping pong champion. With a family-run store devoted to all things ping pong and a mom (Elizabeth Sung) who teaches it at the local Chinese Community Center, the Wangs’ entire world revolves around the sport.
When his mom and Michael are hurt in a car accident, his father (Jim Lau) is left to watch over the store, forcing C-dub to take over his mom’s ping pong class of misfits. But when the Wang family livelihood is threatened by a rival ping pong player’s attempts to lure the kids away, C-dub begins to take things more seriously. With the National Golden Cock Tournament coming up and an injured Michael unable to defend his title, C-dub must become the player he pretends to be and defend his family’s ping pong dynasty.
