The Rest, Only Noise

"I can't believe that we just got here when we met a rogue!" said Jane Walker in surprise.

What Louis couldn't believe was that these people refused to come, even the Americans.

"Okay, take a snack next time. After all, I can't be by your side all day."

Before this happened, Volker felt unnecessary to Louis's companions, and after this incident, he found that letting Louis come along was the best decision he made.

"Do you have any friends here?" Walker asked.

"Not now, doesn't mean not in the future." Louis is very confident in his communication skills, "Is it difficult to find a superficial friend?"

Volker resumed his business-like appearance: "Be careful, don't cause trouble, we're not here to play."

"It turns out that we weren't here to play..." Seeing Volker's serious face, Louis smiled, "I see, work is the most important thing, and I won't cause trouble."

Louis and Volker went to Italy in early July.

At the same time in the United States, as usual, it should be a time when teams compete for quotations in the free market and make various calculations in the trading field.

But today, it is extraordinarily quiet.

"Sports Illustrated" writer John Papanett speculated: "Perhaps because of the adjustment plan of player compensation, every owner gave up recruiting free agents."

You must know that this year's free market includes Moses Malone, a top-three big fish in the league, and Bernard King, a super small forward who scores easily.

However, a week has passed in July.

There are no contracts.

The NBA's annual meeting was held in June. At the meeting, all the owners agreed to negotiate with the players' association in advance. This is to avoid the negotiation that does not go well at that time and the next season cannot be carried out smoothly.

Combined with the content of their negotiations, it has to be said that this resolution is necessary.

There is an unconfirmed gossip that reality has given the answer.

League commissioner Larry O'Brien warned teams not to sign any free agents before August, one way to put pressure on the players' association.

With the exception of a money-headed guy like Bass, other owners have a set of plans for how to adjust players' compensation.

The first is the hard hat that everyone loves, which the players' guild will not tolerate.

Secondly, there are also sad teams like the Pacers who failed to catch a big fish like Bird in advance due to lack of money. They proposed to reduce the roster to 10 players, which can reduce some unnecessary expenses.

It is certain that these proposals will attract a fierce backlash from the players' guild.

Neither Bob Lanier nor Larry Fleischer would have accepted such an offer.

At the same time in Italy, Volker fretted several hairs over the Celtics' broadcast contract.

Louie is leisurely, he goes out every day.

Also, sometimes they don't even go back to the hotel.

Italians treat eating this piece, and the Chinese have a fight. Louie's current favorite is something called a chewa pie.

It's made with ground pork and beef mixed with spices and can be grilled or steamed. Louie likes the first way and can eat all you can every time.

The NBA is fighting a bloodless war for the future of the league.

During the same period, the Football World Cup was also held in Spain.

When Louis lingered in the bar, he found that someone opened a bet here. Although the game was not big, it was a pleasure to be able to participate.

Italy is not a favorite team in the World Cup. Before the end of the group stage, if someone said that they could win the championship, they would definitely be ridiculed by many people. But in the last game of the group stage, Italy faced Brazil, and if they can't beat Brazil, they have to go home.

Then, Paolo Rossi, an Italian player that Louis did not know, suddenly awakened. He was suspended for three years after being caught in a gambling scandal two years ago. It shows that there is an urgent need for talents of his type. But he was completely invisible in the first few games of the group stage, but against Brazil, he scored with a header in the opening 5 minutes and scored twice before the end of the first half. In the 74th minute of the game, he dramatically completed the World Cup history in front of the goal. One of the most famous hat tricks ever.

That's why Brazilians say: "Football is dead."

Perhaps it should be said that the kind of football that Brazilians are proud of is indeed dead. Unfettered, liberal samba football will gradually be replaced by modern systemic football in the future.

In the semi-final, it was this Rossi again, who scored twice and almost single-handedly dragged Italy into the final. Their final opponent, Federal Republic of Germany, took a penalty kick in the game with France, which was severely damaged.

In the final, it was Rossi who scored with a header to give Italy the lead, which boosted the Azzurri's morale and finally won 3-1 and won the Hercules Cup.

On July 11, Louis saw Italy win the title.

The whole city was celebrating, and Italy was on fire.

He has to admit that football's influence around the world, in times of peace, the heightened national and national pride of winning the World Cup is unparalleled.

He is more emotional about the infinite possibilities of competitive sports.

That night, Castello was the city that never sleeps.

No Italian family should be able to sleep properly.

Louis wins 100 euros against an Italian who hates his country.

Because he doesn't believe that Italy can win the final, and Luis does. Louie doesn't know anything about football, he just has a good eye.

Just like the compatriots in Taiwan Province in 2020 think that they can resist the new crown with their own temperament.

Louie just has the ability to see the "winner" temperament.

In the end, he won 100 euros, the Italian hater paid the money and fled the bar, and Louis had no intention of staying there and partying with the Italians.

Italy's World Cup win helped Jane Volcker do his job.

As soon as the other party was happy, he signed.

Walker wanted to celebrate with Louie, but he had no idea where the Louie were.

Louis walks freely on the road. Although there are many liars and rogues in this city, unlike the United States, when you walk outside at night, you have to worry about whether you will be shot. Relatively speaking, Italy is much safer.

Louis wanted to take a walk back to the hotel, but he stopped by a small bridge with a very ancient style.

He saw a young girl standing on the bridge with her back to everyone, she was in a daze.

Louis is not worried about her finding short-sightedness, because the depth of this river is difficult to drown an adult. Even if she intends to drown herself, when she is on the verge of death, her body will automatically struggle, enough to save herself. Even if she is the one-of-a-kind suicidal person who can defeat her instinct, Louis can save people in time, so he stood a few meters away like watching a play, and asked Yoyo: "If you want to find a short-term view, this Is the river a little shallower?"

"Hey~www.readwn.com~ can you say 'English'?"

She bit her lip and looked back.

For a moment, Louis was stunned.

Is there such a beautiful woman in the world?

Then, leaning against the bridge, she squatted down with her hands on her knees, sobbing silently. Her face was hidden by long, straight black hair.

"Don't cry... You will make people misunderstand what I have done to you..." Louis was so worried, he clearly saw the most beautiful woman since crossing, but there was a communication barrier due to the language barrier.

"Can you say English? Mud Howl?"

She raised her face and looked at Louis with her bright red eyes: "Are you Chinese?"

"can you speak English?"

Next, she cried in an Italian-inspired tone: "The judicial exam is too difficult!"
