The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

Ivanka!

And she's dressed...

Incredibly sexy!

Su Wan set aside the stupid question of "Why is she here?", and played along with her desire to quickly get to know each other better, chatting from the sofa to the bedroom.

In the end, when it was all over, Ivanka smoothed her sweat-damp hair, pulled up the blanket to cover her snowy white body, and unexpectedly said, "Did you have fun in Houston?"

Su Wan immediately showed an awkward expression.

No need to guess, he must have seen the news.

He chuckled, preparing to get up and make something to eat.

Ivanka stopped him, threw the blanket she had on her onto Su Wan, then put on his clothes and dragged his large slippers to the door: "Take a break, I'll make it for you."

"Do we have anything to eat?" Su Wan wasn't sure if there was anything in the fridge.

Ivanka replied, "I bought some."

About 20 minutes later, Ivanka's voice came from outside the door, and Su Wan, after searching for his slippers for a long time, finally walked out barefoot.

Ivanka looked at him and, laughing, sat down, kicked the slippers to Su Wan. After he sat down, she pushed the steak and mashed potatoes she had made in front of him, handing him a spoon and knife and fork, then hugged her legs, looking quite girlish at Su Wan.

"Aren't you eating?" Su Wan asked her.

Ivanka leaned her head on her knees and shook it slightly.

"When did you get back?"

"I came back the day before yesterday."

"Are you done with your work?"

"Yeah..."

"What's next?"

"Next, I have to go to Los Angeles for my dad, might take a week or half a month to come back."

"When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow?" Su Wan was a bit surprised.

"Yeah."

Su Wan understood why she was here.

After eating, the two went straight to sleep, and when Su Wan woke up the next day, Ivanka was already gone. She left a note in the living room:

Breakfast sandwiches, I left them in the fridge, just heat them up to eat.

Su Wan opened the fridge, found the sandwiches, and after eating, he went to the gym.

The first game after the All-Star Weekend, the New York Knicks are up against the recently traded Los Angeles Clippers.

As the last major trade of the season, the Clippers' formation of the "4 Giants" has garnered much anticipation from the public.

In terms of functionality, Carmelo Anthony is indeed a great addition to the Clippers, a team that lacked a top-tier ball handler on the wing like him.

Neither Griffin nor Little Si are such players, and Deron Williams, after leaving the UCLA system, has exposed many issues, his solo capabilities not as impressive as they were with the Jazz Team.

The Clippers' losses this season often came from not having anyone step up during crucial moments.

Carmelo Anthony, as a top-level wing ball handler in the league, and with "killer traits," has long been targeted by the Clippers, who bargained with the Nuggets for a long time, and eventually exchanged Gordon and Little Jordan for their coveted "wing reinforcements," filling the weakest link.

Don't think Anthony lacks value.

It's worth noting that Gordon averaged 18.6 points this season, and Little Jordan, as a substitute, could contribute 6.4 points and 6 rebounds on average. More impressively, these were his numbers in 25 minutes of play, which translates to a "10+10" double-double when projected to 35 minutes.

So, it's like the Nuggets traded Carmelo Anthony for two almost "All-Star" level players.

On paper, not much different from LeBron leaving the Heat Team.

Alright, LeBron and Anthony's market prospects are pretty similar right now.

They've both led teams to Conference Finals, with impressive average stats...

But in their 10th season in the league, they still haven't shown their ability to lead a team to a championship as the "Absolute Core," so naturally, they couldn't be traded for better chips.

Since Anthony had only been to one Conference Final, the Clippers didn't even want to give both players.

It was fortunate that the Nuggets' management was patient, and eventually, they waited for the Clippers to compromise.

Although the cost was high, the shift in public opinion made the Clippers feel it was all worth it.

Now they were just waiting for this game against the New York Knicks to launch their opening salvo!

The Clippers were all raring to go, full of intent.

Not just the management, but the players too.

With the arrival of Carmelo Anthony, everyone felt the team's strength had been further enhanced, and this year they could definitely achieve something big.

Losing in the Western Conference Finals last year was regrettable for the whole Clippers team. Now they were eager to go further!

The New York Knicks also took this game very seriously.

Every game against a strong team was a great opportunity for the New York Knicks to hone their "pick-and-roll tactics"!

D'Antoni was determined to make this tactic produce real chemistry and unleash its true power.

He believed that this was the championship-level offensive tactic.

More importantly...

The philosophy of this tactic was mainly centered around three-point shooting.

This coincided perfectly with his long-held belief!

D'Antoni always believed that the three-point shot was the trend of the future.

Even though he was frustrated with the Suns, even though he continued to face setbacks in New York, he was very clear that God had opened a door for him, given him a chance to prove his tactics.
