the rest, only noise

Chapter 488 What the hell is this! ! !
When Christmas came, Lorraine caught a cold and her nose was completely blocked, so she could only breathe through her mouth.

"Oxygen is more important for survival than food. However, our body uses fat to store energy, but it cannot save any form of oxygen." Lorraine complained, "It's not fair, obviously we humans are more advanced creatures."

Louis is doing Ge Youpan at home, "You must be careful when you say this outside, the saints of animal protection will not listen to your tune."

"That's what it is..." Lorraine said, "They can't change my mind no matter what."

This, Louis believed, women are always stubborn.

Just like his mother, Li Xuanbing, who never believed any news on TV, but as long as she heard from neighbors, second aunts or third aunts’ friends or neighbors that there was something that could no longer be bought in the future, and now it’s best to stock up quickly, she must be a pioneer.

Today, Li Xuanbing wore a new dress.

Lorraine immediately acted like a scheming concubine in a Gongdou drama who wanted to please the queen mother: "Mom, your clothes are so beautiful (in Chinese)."

Li Xuanbing immediately cared about Xia Lorraine's physical condition, but she couldn't tell that the two of them didn't see each other a few years ago.

After caring about Lorraine, Li Xuanbing did not forget to offend his son: "Listen, even an Italian is sweeter than you."

Louis didn't say that Lorraine's words were taught by him mouth to mouth... Every time Lorraine said something wrong, Louis would reward her with some delicious food.

Who knows how much his second brother had to go through to make Lorraine learn this sentence?

"You don't just dress like a queen, you are a queen." Louis had to say.

Li Xuanbing continued to express his dissatisfaction, "Didn't you order something fresh?"

"Mom, it's almost done, how can I have this skill..." Louis was troubled by the team's affairs.

"Okay, I don't have time to please your old lady, so I should pay more attention to your daughter-in-law!" Li Xuanbing didn't seem to know that Louis and Lorraine were not married yet.

"We're... not married yet," Louie said.

This is what the old mother is most worried about.

"You have the nerve to say it? You have given birth to two babies. Why don't you say anything? Do you want someone to propose to you? Take the initiative and take responsibility like a man! She even called my mother. Can you end this matter if you don't get married? Or do you have other fools in your heart?" Li Xuanbing's eyes were filled with suspicion immediately, "Is it possible that you really have..."

"Don't think you are my own mother so I dare not sue you for slander, I will sue you for slandering me!"

"Then tell me, how to solve this matter?"

"Marry! How else can it be solved?" Louis rolled his eyes.

Li Xuanbing nodded vigorously: "That's what you said. This year is coming to an end, so I'll let it go. Next year, no matter what, you have to give someone an explanation!"

"understood."

Louis was not interested in getting married.But what is the reason for not getting married?He couldn't find it.If he is a scumbag and wants to stay unmarried and mess with women, that's understandable.

But all these years, he walked among the flowers without touching himself with a single leaf.

This noble character, among the group of transmigrators who are morally corrupt, low-quality, poorly cultivated and piled up with scum, is it considered top-ranking?

Now, he decided, since it made no difference whether he was married or not, why not?Instead of wasting time and waiting for Lorraine to urge him, he might as well take the initiative and get things done, and everyone will be happy.

With this section figured out, Louis only needs to set a date for his marriage.

He's finally set between July/August/September of next year.

At that time, if they succeed in challenging the Celtics, it will be happiness on top of happiness, double happiness.If they fail to challenge the Celtics, then use the happy event to wash away the bad luck.

Anyway, it always works.

Will Lorraine refuse?Louie didn't think so.

The relationship between him and Lorraine is very stable, and they rarely quarrel, and now they have two children. It can be said that this is something that closely connects them.

Louis couldn't imagine that when he walked into the wedding hall, the person holding hands was not Lorraine.

This year's Christmas War, the Knicks, as usual, is one of the participating teams.Their opponent is the Portland Trail Blazers who have played against each other once before but unfortunately lost.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the Knicks and the Blazers are being molded as the rivals of the next generation.

The league has tasted the sweetness in the rivalry between the Lakers and the Celtics. They know that this kind of contradictory setting between the two sides will attract a lot of attention from the opponents in the finals.

New York is the number one city in the world, while Portland, in a city of industrial degradation, just inherits the characteristics of Los Angeles and Boston.

Moreover, there is an extreme contrast between the two sides in terms of play.

The Knicks, who should have been as glorious and gorgeous as the Lakers, actually rely on defense to gain a foothold in the league and play the most terrifying game.

Although the Knicks' games are often not low, their defense often turns strong duels into mud wrestling dramas.

For old fans, this kind of game looks good, but it is not conducive to the promotion of the league.

Instead, the Trail Blazers, under the leadership of Jordan, are already the best-looking team in the league.

Arranging these two teams as rivals in the next era is in line with the league's habits.

That afternoon, Louie was in his office on the phone with Warriors general manager Jack McMahon.

McMahon had big ambitions.

He's had enough of Joe Barry Carroll who doesn't give a damn, and has some concerns about the Georgetown wing Reggie Williams they drafted this year.

Carroll was hated by McMahon for sure.

He's one of those guys that you feel like you don't want to eat until you lose him, and it's a pity to throw him away, and eventually when you lose him, you're like, "Why the hell didn't I do this sooner?"

If the best player on your team is a slack, unmotivated player who looks like a 80-[-]-year-old, the rest of the team won't have much energy either.

Carroll made the Warriors look vulnerable.

Now, the biggest problem for the Warriors is Carroll.

Since last year, McMahon wanted to send him away, but did not get a suitable offer.

McMahon miscalculated Carroll's popularity. He thought that no matter how bad Carroll was, at least he had real combat power and was a quasi-star insider.

As a result, his asking price is just a junk contract, a young player with potential, plus draft picks.

They all persuaded them to quit, and no one was willing to accept the offer.

This made McMahon very distressed. The Warriors had another hopeless season. When the Warriors selected Reggie Williams with the second pick, McMahon thought he had found the pearl that Louie was looking for.

However, Miller's performance with the Knicks showed McMahon that he had the wrong guy.

"Lew, let's be honest, what would you give for Carroll?" McMahon asked.

Louie joked: "Well, I'm not willing to give anything for him. But I would very much like to give away at least $100 million to keep Carol from coming to New York."

McMahon was almost pissed off. He was already in poor health, and his blood pressure soared when he heard what Louis said.

How desperate is this?The best player on your team, in the eyes of others, is a player who doesn't even want a million dollars.

"Is he that bad?!"

McMahon yelled.

"Don't be angry, Jack, I know you're not in good health, but I have to tell you the truth." Louie told why he didn't want Carroll. "All team sports can affect each other. If you have a particularly hard-working guy on your team, other people will naturally be affected, like him.

"Of course, if you're as unlucky as you are, and the best player on the team happens to be the least active player on the team, then you're in big trouble. You're going to be tangling about him hundreds of times, overestimating his value because of his stats." Louie said bluntly, "In fact, for teams that have a vision, Carroll is worthless."

How could McMahon not know this?
But what Louis said was too exaggerated, he didn't even want to pay 100 million yuan. For a quasi-All-Star player, is there anything more humiliating than this?

"Then let's talk about other business." McMahon gave up the idea of ​​sending Carroll to the Knicks. "Reggie Williams, are you interested?"

"Sorry, Jack, I've sworn never to draft a Georgetown player since Ewing."

This sentence really made McMahon impossible.

"What do you mean? Is Ewing bad? I'm willing to exchange 100 Carrolls for Ewing!" He said in a hurry that it was even more exaggerated than giving away 100 million Carrolls.

"Ewing and Carroll are certainly not bad, but you know, he is that kind, that is, the kind of player who is very special, rare, and makes you angry..." Louie vividly described, "His shooting is as funny as a rabbit jumping around in front of you. Although he can make shots, his posture is ugly and affects his appetite; his defense is like a mad dog guarding his food. I admit that he is very aggressive, but he can't control his fouls, otherwise he is now averaging four per game. Blocks, five blocks may be more than that..."

McMahon was about to interrupt Louis's Versailles with a black face, but he heard someone on the other end of the phone yelling angrily: "You better fucking trade me now, you bloody Chinaman!"

"Patrick, no matter how angry you are, don't call me a Chinaman, it's racist!"

"You damn bastard discriminate against me less often!"

McMahon hung up and swore he would never call that bastard at the Blue House again.

What the hell is this! ! !
