The Rest, Only Noise

Louie and Lori chat over breakfast and then part ways.

They left no way of contacting each other, and last night was just the right dew.

Louie still considers himself an open-minded person, but in the 1970s his 2020s modern logic didn't work. It's an era of perpetuating sex, advocating sexual openness, and young baby boomers indulging themselves in a situation where antibiotics can cure most venereal diseases.

Louie was holding the piece of paper that Lori found, and if he guessed right, it was a humble scouting report.

This excited him, and through his memories, he discovered Louis' secret.

Louie's mother wanted him to go to medical school, which wasn't a job he wanted to do. Let’s talk about the difficulty first. His medical school at Ohio State University ranks in the top 40 in the United States, but the acceptance rate is only 5%. In addition, the reviewers discriminate against people of color stereotyped. If you want to get into medical school, you can’t just work hard to succeed. of.

Louis promised on the surface, but behind his back he was doing what he wanted to do the most - he liked playing basketball, and he once thought of becoming a professional player. Although he has a height of 190 cm, his talent is too poor, he can't run fast or jump. Tall, although the instant explosiveness is good, but no professional team will want a short power forward with a soft style.

Scouting is his new direction. The United States is the country of basketball. In the 1970s, professional basketball was still lingering. This chaotic decade made the ABA go bankrupt. Almost all ABA stars are acclimatized.

The live TV cancelled by CBS (changed to time-lapse recording), too many black people, violence, poisonous dogs... All kinds of frowning negative images are hurting the commercial value of the league, and the other three major sports leagues in the same era , all took off in the 1970s, and only the NBA persisted.

Although players' incomes have increased significantly compared to the 1960s, team executives, coaches, and scouts have had limited income increases.

If Louie told his mother that he wanted to be a professional scout and gave up being a doctor, there would be only a few outcomes: the mother was angry and died on the spot; angered but not, and turned all her anger into Louie Physical damage; under anger, first inflict physical damage on Louis, and then drive him out of the house.

Louie felt that his mother shouldn't be allowed to know his secrets until results were achieved.

And Lu Ruohe, that is, the newly born Louis, thinks that it should not continue to be concealed.

The reason why Louie's secret excites him is that Lu Ruohe in his previous life was the assistant general manager of the CBA Xinjiang team.

Although the high degree of professionalization of the NBA at the same time was beyond the reach of the CBA, Lu Ruohe was not an assistant who was only responsible for recording and serving tea and water to the general manager. He manages the Xinjiang team's scouting network. Which province sports schools and high schools have good seedlings, he will go over to take a look, and if the materials are real, he will find a way to sign them.

His two most proud of his handwriting, one is to help Xinjiang sign Zhou Qi of the Liaoning youth team after planning for many months in 2014; Qi Lin, the "No. 1 high school student" of Tsinghua University.

He's the guy behind the scenes, all the compliments go to the general manager, all the success goes to the team, but he gets a six-figure salary a year and lives a full, carefree life until the '70s , become Louis.

Lu Ruohe believes that Louis must not want someone to take away his life, just as he is unwilling to give up his successful life to come to this era.

However, they cannot control these things.

It's here to stay, and if being a pro scout is Louie's dream -- or a short-term goal, he'll make it happen. This may be the only thing he can be sure of in the contemporary era.

He did not want to be an angry crowd, to protest loudly, against everything;

I don't want to have long bohemian hair like hippies everywhere, drive a van, and randomly pull away women who want to hitchhike. Wushan Yunyu in the back seat with curtains;

He doesn't want to go around for the reasonable demands of the ancient boxer with extraordinary combat power;

The world of these people is too far away from him, and he can't empathize with it. Now he can only step on the cigarette butts all over the floor, go back to school, take a good look at Louis' life, and then decide how to proceed.

The Ohio State University (OSU) is an established public research university. It is one of the largest campuses in the United States, with high-quality hardware facilities and rich campus resources, and is known as the "Public Ivy League".

Louis can be admitted to such a school, indicating that he has a good learning ability.

Moreover, his mother also wanted him to go to medical school. If he had no confidence in his ability, he should not have proposed such a goal.

Louie went back to school, OSU had several communities, his campus was in Columbus, and four decades later, the city was voted the second most livable city in the world, and now it's just an average American city.

In Louis's dormitory, there is also a roommate from Taiwan Province, China, called Wu Sansheng.

In addition to being a good student, this man is also a keen collector of every issue of Playboy and Penthouse magazines from the 1970s.

"Mr. Lu, please wake me up, this kind of life can't continue. I came to the United States with the dream of becoming a billionaire, but now I am addicted to the beauty of paper!" Wu Sansheng likes it very much Explain your name with action.

His name is taken from the allusion "I think about my body three times a day", so every day he will find a way to reflect on it. If there is really nothing to reflect on, he will find a random reason, such as "What wrong did I do to be placed in a class that doesn't even have women.".

"You really should stop in moderation, the beauty of paper can never be compared to the pleasure of a skin-to-skin relationship." Louis thought of last night - he was drunk, and he couldn't remember the key plot at all.

Hearing this, Wu Sansheng put down the "Loft" in his hand.

"If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot, where did you go last night? The director of discipline told you to go after you come back!" Wu Sansheng actually took out another magazine, the latest issue of "Playboy". "Mr. Lu, I remember that you don't like liberals, why don't you go home at night?"

"Because I went to B-B-B last night and there were magazine beauties everywhere, and it felt like hey..."

"You went to B-B-B?" Wu Sansheng threw the magazine on the bed, "Gan Lin is really not enough brothers!"

His local accent failed to reach the ears of "Mr. Lu".

Louie was forced to go to the Disciplinary Director's office to explain why he stayed out all night last night.

Although liberalism swept through the 1970s, the counterattack was also strong, with hard-line conservatives everywhere in the United States. Schools are the strongest bastions of conservatives.

As long as it is a school day, they do not allow students to go out at will, especially restricting the family members of students. They want to visit their children at the school and choose a specific time like visiting prisoners.

So parents joke that drug dealers are more accessible to their children than they are.

If it is a holiday, although students are free to travel, they cannot stay home at night. Most schools implement a curfew.

At the Disciplinary Director, Louie, based on past experience, said he was involved in a conflict between liberals and conservatives.

This allowed him to get away with it, after all, he was a good boy in everyone's eyes.

To be precise, his skin color is synonymous with a good boy.

Back in the dormitory, Wu Sansheng looked flattering, "Brother, do you want to eat hamburgers? Do you drink drinks? Do you have a sore back? If there is anything I can do, just ask."

"Will you get on your bed and read a magazine?" Louie said disgustingly. "You make me shudder."

"As long as you promise to take me to B-B-B next time...you can let me do whatever you want." At this moment, Wu Sansheng can set the template of all the ministers, which is too cheap.

Louis asked, "Aren't you a model student in the eyes of the director of discipline? Why, do you want to learn from me?"

"Don't worry, the director of discipline won't treat me like that. She always looks at me with strange eyes, showing that she is interested in me..." Wu Sansheng rolled onto his bed, "It's settled like that, Lu gentlemen!"

Louie was forced to agree, and he began to reflect on how Louie chose to be a scout, how he wrote scouting reports, and how he observed players.

DSU is a strong sports school. Although the heyday of the school basketball team can be traced back to the 1960s, the winning team led by Havlicek and Jerry Lucas has been joined by good players over the years. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

Therefore, it is not difficult to observe the top NCAA players live.

The problem is, the University of Michigan, where John Long is at, didn't play against DSU this year.

Messages that were constantly being pushed away like silkworm chrysalis poured into Louis's mind.

Louie watched the game on videotape and wrote down the characteristics of the players.

The dorm room has footage of the University of Michigan's national championship game this year.

Louie found the game tape, which he had never seen on a cassette tape.

"Watching the game again?" Wu Sansheng lay on his side charmingly, but the words in his mouth were very mean, "This group of people will become a professional in the future, either by being beaten to death on the field, or by taking drugs to kill themselves, if their brains It’s not easy to use, maybe I will go to Uganda to help the ogres fight with a gun!”

Wu Sansheng is a sports insulator. He refuses all sports activities that have nothing to do with sex. Unfortunately, he is still a virgin, which means that he may never exercise seriously when he grows up.

Such a person doesn't even know what the NBA is, all he knows is that professional basketball sucks.

And that's why Louie didn't dare tell his mother what he wanted to do. At least in 1978, the NBA was, in the eyes of everyone who knew it, or didn't, a business with no future.

(1) John Brisker (SF/SG), who played in the second team in the ABA, went to the NBA and felt unsatisfactory in life, made some money, and decided to go to Africa to see. He disappeared in 1978 and has no news. After the reporter's exaggerated publicity, it became more and more mysterious, and it became a rare event in the NBA at that time. However, there was no traffic at that time, and this kind of thing can only increase others' disgust towards the NBA.
