MTL - The Rest, Only Noise-Chapter 6 Athens, USA? probably
Although the media announced in the 1950s that air conditioners have become common furniture for American residents, their evidence is that there are 1 million households in the United States with air conditioners.
Of course, this is not impossible.
The 1950s and 1960s were the first peak of American national strength, like the first three consecutive years of the Bulls, while the 1970s were a decade of confusion. The inflation at the beginning of this decade led to even worse stagflation.
For middle and lower families, even if there is an air conditioner, it is not used much because the electricity bill is very expensive.
Louie's house has no air conditioner, but like all young people, he knows where to blow free air conditioners.
After being turned away by the prejudiced rotten jiba, Louie came to the supermarket with a belly full of fire.
He was pretending to hang out, actually thinking of countermeasures.
His secondary scout dream—the senior scout’s dream—the chief scout’s dream—the dream of being promoted to the management team... The big dream hasn’t even begun, can it just stop like this?
Or is it broken by a watchdog with a rotten jiba?
Louie is reflecting on whether he has done something bad.
The problem is that, apart from scolding the other party very impolitely before leaving, he was not rude the whole time.
If the problem isn't with you, it's clearly with the other person.
If it is the other party, it is very likely that there is some kind of prejudice.
Age is an issue on the table, and no one believes an 18-year-old wants to be a professional scout. Louis himself didn't believe it, but it was true. Ranjiba's impatient "oriental guy" betrays what he really thinks.
Whether he discriminates or not, when he says that, he is prejudiced.
And this kind of prejudice is rooted in the hearts of the people in the United States, and it is universal, and Louis is powerless to change.
If he's going to experience that with the Cavaliers, he's probably going to have the same thing happen to any team.
Playing for the Cavaliers is Louie's dream.
Unfortunately, the reality ruthlessly shattered his dream.
In this case, the Cavaliers can no longer be his first choice.
Although it wasn't Cavaliers head coach Bill Fitch who turned him out, he wasn't sure what kind of person Fitch was. If he went to great lengths to meet Fitch, he found out that he was similar to that rotten jiba. , it will only lead to greater disappointment.
"Sir, do you need help?"
Seeing him stop for a long time, the waitress asked kindly.
"I'm not sure if you have what I want here." Louie laughed.
It is undeniable that good-looking people eat well everywhere. The original Louis liked to have a bitter face with bitterness and hatred, which greatly wasted his appearance, and today's Louis lives in a 30-year-old body. The soul, he knows too much how lethal the sunshine smile of "Magic" Johnson is.
When you look good, even with a wretched smile, no one will care.
Maybe I still think you are cute.
"Oh, what do you want?" the waiter asked.
"Do you sell tickets to Boston?" Louis asked jokingly.
"If you can get a plane ticket at the supermarket, then I can get Bologna sausages at the deli," the waiter said playfully!
"Actually, I think Asian sausages are also good, would you mind trying it?"
※※※
A sense of guilt appeared in Louis's heart, and it has only been "coming" for more than a month, and he has already had intimate contact with two-digit women.
However, he didn't talk about everywhere, he just pushed the boat.
Or rather, he was on the road to pursue his dream of becoming a secondary scout with stories of women who could or could not help him.
Wake up, or don't even need to sleep, because half of it happens during the day - when things are done, most of them will light an afterthought, and Louie is still thinking about scouts...and then, some will stay Contact information below, some won't, and they probably won't see each other again after that.
If it is said that the United States in 2020, under the leadership of the understanding king, is politically corrupted and unruly, and a series of politically correct restrictions on the social level make people “can’t breathe”, then the United States in the 1970s is a moral level. collapse.
Hedonism and consumerism are two-pronged, not to mention those exaggerated social movements and events that have far-reaching consequences for the future - although it has only been here for more than a month, in this context, Louis naturally feels that what he is doing is very important. It's normal, everyone is like that.
Although he first scored double-digit touchdowns in female experience on his way to becoming a scout, his dream remains unshakable.
He already knew his next stop - Boston.
If there is a team in the league that can jump out of the frame of race, let go of all prejudices, and treat every job applicant with a realistic attitude.
Well, definitely the Boston Celtics.
But Boston is not a racially open city. Before 1976, the city preached the virtues of tolerance, freedom, harmony, care, and equality, and called itself the city of wisdom, Athens, USA.
Then, a white teenager named Joseph Rakes attacked Ted Landsmark, a black lawyer and social activist on the street with a flagpole with an American flag, was photographed by reporters. After tearing off the mask of the city, his hideous face was unreservedly displayed in front of the whole world. That scene was called "the filth of the old glory".
Since then, including Boston fans, they can understand Bill Russell's 1969 farewell, and almost every player who has played for the Celtics but has no sense of belonging to the city. idea.
Everything has two sides, how arrogant and xenophobic the city is, how tolerant and fraternity the Celtics are.
Team president and general manager Reed Auerbach is a pragmatist who doesn't care about the color or origin of his employees, he only cares about their abilities.
Although Asians are at the bottom of the discrimination chain, most of the time, black anger is the headache for whites—because Asians don't know how to resist.
Using an all-black starter in the 1960s, making Russell the first black head coach in the Big Four... all the things that grieved Boston's white elite brought success to the team.
Louie has enough reason to believe that the Celtics, led by Auerbach, should not be as extreme as the Cavaliers.
He has been fully prepared psychologically. If he does not pass the test, it means that his scouting report is unqualified, and his business ability as a scout is not enough, so he needs to continue learning. It's okay, he's only 18 and has a lot of time to improve and perfect himself.
If the NBA is not good, he will go to the CBA (the only secondary league in the United States at that time), and if the CBA is not good, he will go abroad and go to professional leagues in other countries. He believed he would always get ahead.
Louis had limited funds, so he had to find a place to live first and then get a temporary job.
Li Xuanbing thought he was coming to Boston to find friends and didn't give him too much money.
The difference between Asian families and other ethnic groups is at the age of 18. At this stage, other ethnic groups often find ways to fall out with their families, and then become independent (referring to the 1970s). Asian Americans tend to stay in touch with their families and still rely on their families for financial support before going to work.
If they wanted to go to school while working part-time, one hundred family members disagreed.
In a well-known tone and tone: "Is it more important to study or earn money?"
Louie did not find the Celtics scouting ads, he carefully inquired about the news.
There are racial and class boundaries here.
Louie didn't want to cause trouble.
He found out about a nearby bar where Celtics players frequented, and got dressed up.
However, the Celtics' season is already over.
Boston is not a place to be cherished, and no player will take vacations in Boston, so he can't meet players here, and that's not his purpose.
In the two seasons since the merger era, the Celtics have entered an all-time low. Their tickets could not be sold, and losses for teams and arenas were rare in the early 1970s, and in recent years, losses have become the norm.
Players with shamrocks on their chests and black high-top sneakers around the court with no facts are more likely to be booed than cheered by fans as their shots and passes often stray from their intended destination. Names like Curtis Rowe PF, Sidney Wicks PF/C and Marvin Barnes haven't revived the love for Sam Jones, Bob Cousy and Bill Good memories of Russell. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
The on-court loss only added to the frustration of fans who came to the stadium to escape the chaos on the streets of Boston. Offseason bars with no games to watch, the Beatles, punks, angry protesters pouring in when they're tired.
Louis will choose the person who is single to "start".
"Hi!" Louie found the target, a punk girl who was probably under 20, with tousled blond hair and black lipstick and deep eyeshadow.
He often starts with easy topics and then criticizes the current situation. Louis will always agree with the other party's three views and tendencies, although most of the time he doesn't care or even opposes it.
"Sidney Weeks is the worst Celtics ever!"
Louie of course agreed: "Yeah, I can't believe he's from a legend."
"Come on, even make that **** Karim look like a good guy!"
"Well, you're right, it's the school's problem."
From basketball, to politics, to skin color.
"This country is hopeless!"
"you're right."
"The **** demand so much, their rage is unbearable!"
Louis inexplicably loves an era when Americans can say N-words out loud in nightclubs.
He's not racist, he's just one of those people on the Chinese Internet who use the word **** to insult lazy, irresponsible, and savage black people, but meet them in real life and don't care about them at all.
"You're so right, they made the street a mess!" Louie shouted. "Hey, another drink!"
