The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

Strength was among the top in his rookie class.

It seemed only slightly inferior to James Harden.

Such strength would be difficult to achieve without sufficient training.

But to Su Wan, this wasn't the most important thing.

If nothing changed in the future, then Stephen Curry would suffer an ankle injury next year, resulting in missing the season.

Therefore, he said, "Stephen, how about training with me this summer? I think you could try changing the way you generate force. That might make your ankles less prone to sprains!"

When Stephen Curry heard Su Wan's invitation, he was delighted, naturally wanting to train with Su Wan.

But when Su Wan again suggested that he change his way of generating force...

He hesitated.

Previously, he had changed his position from the two to the Point Guard, and it had taken two years just to complete the initial transformation.

If he did as Su Wan suggested and changed his method of force generation...

Who knows how many years it would take to transform.

It was his third year of the contract.

But what Su Wan pointed out was indeed an existing issue.

In January this season, he had already experienced two ankle sprains and, although not as severe, the occurrences of twisting his ankle persisted.

To protect his fragile ankles, he should try changing his way of force generation…

Seeing him so conflicted, Su Wan then said, "How about this—I'll introduce you to Tim, see what he has to say, and check out the plan he arranges. If you feel you can change your previous method of force generation before the new season starts, then let's give it a try, and if not, we can reconsider it…

"And also..."

"Stephen, you really shouldn't worry about not having enough time because the League might very well shut down this summer!"

Stephen Curry tensed upon Su Wan's abrupt proclamation: "Is it really going to shut down?"

Su Wan laughed, "I only said it might, and... it seems like you're focusing on the wrong thing, Stephen!"

Curry then realized he was talking about training and showed an embarrassed smile: "If it really does shut down, then indeed, a lot of time would be freed up."

This finally moved him.

Su Wan didn't continue on the subject.

Continuing could easily make Stephen Curry feel like he had an ulterior motive.

That would be bad…

However, after a long silence, Stephen Curry suddenly turned to Su Wan and asked, "Su, is the League really going to shut down?"

Su Wan remained silent.

Alright!

For Stephen Curry, who believed in "the sky is round and the earth is square."

His naïve appearance wasn't too surprising.

After the shower, Su Wan drove off, but he didn't head home; instead, he went to Ivanka's house.

As usual, Ivanka had prepared some late-night snacks for him.

Su Wan felt a bit guilty.

During the All-Star Weekend, he was involved in a scandal with Scarlett, followed by two or three more tabloid stories.

He believed Ivanka must have seen at least one of them.

But she hadn't asked a single question...

Could it be she had poisoned the food?

While eating, Ivanka was reading a book on finance across from him, noting something down. Noticing his gaze, she first looked at the food, saw that Su Wan hadn't eaten much, then looked at Su Wan, puzzled, "What's the matter, doesn't it taste good?"

Su Wan shook his head: "As always."

Ivanka then focused back on her book.

"Does your father still want to see me?" Su Wan asked.

Ivanka smiled, "Always... and probably even more now, especially since you've led the Knicks to a championship!"

Su Wan nodded, "Then... let's meet!"

"Really?" Ivanka's eyes brightened, but she was a bit puzzled, "Should I be thankful that I can make sandwiches?"

Su Wan said, "Thank Las Vegas, because if it weren't for that, we wouldn't have met."

Having said that, his gaze unnaturally shifted toward the window.

Outside was pitch black.

Seeing his awkward scratching of his face, Ivanka's expression was particularly radiant. She suddenly stood up, walked around the table to Su Wan, took the sandwich he had bitten into from his hand, placed it back on the plate, then pulled him towards the bedroom…

That night, Ivanka was incredibly forward.

And then he was utterly worn out.

The next morning, by the time she woke up, it was already noon.

Su Wan had already woken up and was reading the newspaper in the living room.

That night, their discussions in the room were intense.

Outside, things were equally intense.

Battier's revelation shifted media opinion in favor of Su Wan, away from Popovich.

Meanwhile, Su Wan's promises to New York truly established him as the "King of New York."

This caused a problem:

When some restless New York fans heard Battier's revelation, they couldn't contain their fury. They inquired overnight about the hospital where Popovich was admitted, planning to end him, to ensure he'd never awaken.

Inevitably, for New Yorkers, Su Wan was now the city's "spiritual pillar," his upcoming "New York Dynasty" symbolized the "Utopia" in their hearts, and they absolutely refused to allow any external factors to affect this.

Thankfully, the Spurs staff, getting wind of this, moved Popovich from New York back to San Antonio overnight.

However, people from New York's underworld stated: "If Su Wan gets injured playing against the Spurs in the future, they'll make sure Popovich pays a dire price."
