Because they wanted to get pregnant, they didn't use protection, doubling Tang Tian's experience.

Afterward, holding Olsen, Tang Tian suddenly felt a surge of happiness.

She could cook, gave him face when they went out, and was fun in bed.

With such a beautiful flower at home, why would he be interested in wildflowers?

The Christmas battles came to a roaring end.

Five games, starting with Wade's buzzer-beating bank shot, reaching a climax with Tang Tian and Harden's duel.

In the last game, Westbrook exploded for 45 points, unseating the Spurs and putting a perfect end to this year's Christmas battles.

With a 35, 60% excitement rating, this year's Christmas battles were destined to become a classic.

After the Christmas battles, the Pelicans had a rare three-day break.

Williams also knew the team had played on Christmas, and the players hadn't been able to spend time with their families, so he gave them two days off.

Tang Tian had originally wanted to take Olsen out, but Olsen brought up the matter of Chinatown.

She was ready to start working.

With Olsen ready to start, Tang Tian naturally gave his full support.

The store had already been renovated, and they would make everything fresh.

As Olsen had planned, she wanted to make cakes.

Black Forest, Viennese Chocolate Almond, Cheesecake, Brownies, Tiramisu, Soufflé...

It could be said that over the past few years, because Tang Tian liked to eat cake, Olsen's skills and abilities in this area had far exceeded those of an ordinary pastry chef.

Making these cakes was a breeze for her.

In just a morning, she had already made more than a dozen cakes.

By this time, there was already a sea of people outside the store.

Tang Tian's support for Olsen wasn't just lip service; he really did everything he could.

"Olsen's store opens today, and the first people to buy a cake will get a signed Godfather 1 generation sneaker."

This was the second status he had posted on his personal Twitter yesterday.

Tang Tian posting a new tweet was big news, plus the offer of signed sneakers with the purchase of a cake.

The signed sneakers hadn't even been officially released yet.

Only a fool wouldn't buy one!

So the reason there were so many people outside the store now wasn't because it could attract so many people, but because the place was too small, and that was all the people it could hold.

Olsen made cakes as a hobby, and Tang Tian didn't want her to be burdened by it.

So there were no reservations, and it wasn't a matter of the highest bidder winning; there was only one way to buy one: sheer luck.

There was a large box at the entrance filled with lucky balls, and some of the balls contained slips of paper that indicated a win. Only those who drew a winning ball had the opportunity to purchase a cake.

Moreover, the number of slips of paper corresponded to the number of cakes Olsen made. Once the lucky balls were drawn, the cakes for the day were sold out.

Someone was on-site to maintain order, one draw per person.

Not to mention winning, you had to get up early just to get in line for the draw.

It was a bit like hunger marketing.

However, those who drew a winning ball could only purchase the cake themselves and could not transfer it.

This was the biggest difference from hunger marketing because it wasn't intended to make money in the first place.

People outside the store began drawing lots, and some shouted "God!" after drawing a winning ball, taking photos as mementos.

Some even went live on social media to draw their lots.

After more than an hour, all the lucky balls were drawn, and the dozen or so winners were happier than if they'd won the lottery.

Under the envious gazes of the others, these dozen or so people entered the store, selecting the cake they wanted to buy in order.

Tang Tian glanced at the dozen or so people. There was a bald Chinese man in a plaid shirt who looked like a programmer, a young fan wearing his jersey, and most eye-catchingly, a woman in her 60s dressed in luxury brands.

It really was all sorts of people.

The young fan chose the brownie cake and was especially happy when he received the sneakers. He even held a pen he'd prepared and asked Tang Tian to sign his jersey with a look of pleading.

This kid was young but clever.

Tang Tian fulfilled his request.

After Tang Tian signed, he bounced out with the sneakers.

This was probably the happiest day of his childhood.

The woman in her 60s was the last one, and she had no choice but to take the cheesecake.

She seemed indifferent when she got the cake, but she was especially excited when she got the sneakers.

Just when Tang Tian was surprised that someone of that age was a basketball fan, what happened next almost made his back break.

A young man in his twenties with makeup on, standing at the door, kept blowing her kisses when he saw the sneakers in her hand.

After they went out, they even embraced and kissed passionately.

It seemed that the practice of hooking up with sugar mamas existed everywhere.

That day, Olsen's cakes swept across social media.

Those who bought the cakes all posted photos of their acquisitions on social media.

And they all received unanimous praise.

Most of them had gone for the sneakers, but the cakes were unexpectedly delicious, and they had to show them off.

Even the crew of *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them* retweeted the news,蹭了一波热度 *ceng le yi bo re du* (seize the opportunity to gain popularity).

Olsen was in a great mood. Who wouldn't want their work to be recognized by more people?

It was even more rewarding than actually going out for a couple of days.

After two days of rest, the Pelicans returned to the training gym.

They would face the Nets in their first game after Christmas.

The Nets had traded away Garnett and let go of Pierce in the offseason, and their overall strength had declined significantly.

The Pelicans had just defeated their powerful rival, the Rockets, and the team's morale was high. This was an opportunity for them to extend their winning streak and chase the Warriors.

Before the game, the league officially announced a piece of news.

The league would implement a new referee evaluation mechanism in future games and would release a "referee report" after each day's games.

The core content of this report was the referees' wrong and missed calls during the game.

If a referee consistently made no wrong or missed calls, they would soon be promoted to a higher-level officiating team, such as those for major events like the playoffs, conference finals, and NBA Finals.

Conversely, they would be demoted and have their authority reduced.

The purpose of this practice was to improve the referees' professional level.

This news sparked much discussion, and the referees' association publicly expressed its doubts about the decision.

However, most fans supported the decision, believing that it would greatly reduce wrong and missed calls in games.

The Pelicans held a public training session before the game, and a reporter asked Tang Tian about the new rule.

"I don't think this is a good idea. I think a better way is to allow teams to have a certain right to challenge the referees in the last two minutes, so that those wrong and missed calls that affect the outcome of the game can be changed on the spot."

Tang Tian's views differed from those of most fans, and he even pointed out the most critical issue incisively.

This referee report also existed in history, but it was proven to be ineffective and eventually became a tool for the league to control referees.

Because this report was released after the game, it had no impact on the outcome of the game.

On the contrary, these referees, wanting to obtain higher officiating authority, couldn't appear in this referee report.

Wrong and missed calls are unavoidable in NBA-level games. Whether they occur or not is ultimately up to the people in the league to decide.
