the rest, only noise

Chapter 105 The exam is too difficult!
"I can't believe it, we met ruffians when we first came here!" Jane Walker said in surprise.

What Louis couldn't believe was that these people never refused, even the Americans.

"Okay, be careful next time, after all, I can't be by your side all day."

Before this happened, Volker felt that Louie's companions were not necessary. After the incident, he found that letting Louie come with him was the most correct decision he made.

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

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

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

"So we didn't come 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 the time when the teams are fighting each other in the free market and calculating in the trading field.

But today, it was exceptionally quiet.

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

You know, this year's free market has not only Moses Malone, a top three big fish in the league, but also a super small forward like Bernard King, who can score easily like drinking water.

However, a week passed in July.

There are no contracts.

The NBA's annual meeting was held in June. At the meeting, all owners agreed to negotiate with the players' association in advance.This is to avoid that the negotiations will not go smoothly and the next season will not be able to proceed smoothly.

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

There is a gossip that has not been confirmed, but reality has given the answer.

League commissioner Larry O'Brien warned teams not to sign any free agents until August, which was one of the ways to put pressure on the players association.

Except for the capricious guy like Bass, other bosses have a series of plans on how to adjust the remuneration of players.

The first is the hard hat that everyone loves, which the players association 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 fierce backlash from the players union.

Neither Bob Lanier nor Larry Fleischer would accept such a condition.

At the same time in Italy, Volker turned several hairs gray because of the broadcasting contract of the Celtics.

Louis is free and easy, he goes out every day.

And, sometimes they don't even return to the hotel.

The Italians treat this piece of food with the same level as the Chinese.Louie's favorite at the moment is something called a chevapi minced meatloaf.

Made with spiced ground pork and beef, it can be grilled or steamed.Louie likes the first method and can eat all he can eat every time.

The NBA is waging 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 there were people betting at the opening. Although they didn't play much, it was a pleasure to be able to participate.

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

Then, Paolo Rossi, an Italian player whom Luigi didn’t know, suddenly woke up. He was suspended for three years after being involved in a gambling scandal two years ago.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, scored twice before the end of the first half, and in the 74th minute of the game, he dramatically completed one of the most famous hat-tricks in World Cup history in front of the goal.

So the Brazilian said: "Football is dead."

Perhaps it should be said that the kind of football that the Brazilians are proud of is indeed dead.The unconstrained and liberal samba football will gradually be replaced by modern systematic football in the future.

In the semi-finals, it was this same Rossi who scored twice and dragged Italy into the finals almost by himself. Their final opponent, the Federal Republic of Germany, scored a penalty in the match against France and was seriously injured.

In the final, it was the same Rossi who scored with a header and gave Italy the lead. As a result, the Azzurri's morale was greatly boosted, and they finally won 3-1 and won the Hercules Cup.

On July 7, Louis witnessed Italy win the championship.

The whole city is celebrating and Italy is seething.

He must admit that the influence of football in the world, in the peaceful age, winning the World Cup will increase the pride of the country and the people, which is really unparalleled.

He is even more moved by the infinite possibilities of competitive sports.

That night, the city of Castello never sleeps.

No Italian family should be able to sleep normally.

Louis won 1000 lire from an Italian who hated his country.

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

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

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

In the end, he won 1000 lire, and the Italian hater paid the money and fled the bar, and Louis had no intention of staying there to party with the Italians.

Italy's World Cup win virtually helped Jan Volker do his job.

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

Volker wanted to find Louis to celebrate, but he had no idea where Louis was.

Louis walked casually on the road. Although there were many liars and scoundrels in this city, unlike the United States, he had to worry about getting shot when walking outside at night.Relatively speaking, Italy is much safer.

Louis wanted to take a walk back to the hotel, but he stopped by a small bridge with an 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 committing suicide, because the depth of this river makes it difficult for an adult to drown. Even if she drowns herself intentionally, when she is on the verge of death, her body will automatically struggle to save herself.Even if she is the one-in-a-kind suicide who can overcome instinct, Louis can save people in time, so he stood a few meters away like watching a play, and asked leisurely: "If you want to commit suicide, is this river a bit shallow?"

"Hey, can you say 'English'?"

She bit her lip and looked back.

For a moment, Louis froze.

There is such a beautiful woman in the world?

Then, leaning on 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 did to you." Louis was too worried. He clearly saw the most beautiful woman since time travel, but he had communication barriers due to language barriers.

"Can you say English? Mud Howl?"

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

"can you speak English?"

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