"Link, you might as well buy a car."

The day after the game with the Nuggets and after training, Randolph chatted with Link in the locker room as always.

Although Link made a prank on Randolph yesterday, and Randolph also took revenge on Link on the spot. But everyone was not hurt and was considered a joke. Once the joke was over, no one would get angry. Everyone was just as if nothing had happened, just to have fun.

"Buy a car? Why did you suddenly think of this?" Link answered Randolph while receiving massage from the trainer. Now Link needs to relax his muscles, because he will stay later to practice a set of three-point shots and a set of laps in the confrontation.

"It's not convenient for you to get to and from work every day. After training every day, it's too late, and the streets are not safe. It's better to be careful in Memphis. Besides, you're a little star who has beaten Cameron, Anthony and the All-Star Rookie Championship. It's not reasonable to have no car with your own."

"Yeah" Link nodded, Randolph's words made sense.

The United States, especially Memphis, which is not too prosperous, undoubtedly fully reflects the characteristic of vast land and sparse population.

Before coming through, Link lived in a small town in China. But at 90 o'clock in the evening, the streets were still lively and taxis were everywhere.

But in Memphis, after Link's training every day, the streets felt quite empty. There were few pedestrians and few vehicles. Sometimes I couldn't wait for a taxi for a long time, so I could call and wait for a while.

The Federal Express Arena is located in the downtown area and is in good condition. The residential area where Link lives is so empty when he wakes up in the morning.

Bus? It doesn't exist. Memphis' bus system is not as good as Los Angeles and New York, and is even more incomparable to China. There are few people taking buses in this area where Link lives. The main customers of buses are poor, students, the elderly and the disabled.

The bus service level in Memphis is very low, the conditions on the bus are poor, dirty, and the equipment is worn out. The frequency of buses is low, half an hour to an hour. It takes many bus lines to pass through the city several times slower than driving by themselves. After Link came to Memphis, he only took the bus twice and never dared to try again.

So when I woke up in the morning, Link either ran for a morning trip to a lively place to take a taxi or called a taxi. In short, it was inconvenient to come. Speaking of which, he really missed the time when Upshaw was honking his horn downstairs on time every day when he was in Oklahoma.

Randolph's proposal really made Link a little interested. But unfortunately, the Grizzlies have to play a game with the Bucks at home tomorrow, so they must have no time to see the car. So Link decided to go to the car shop the day after tomorrow.

The next night's game, the Grizzlies played very easily. The Bucks' opponent was average, and "Jackson" Jennings was defended by Conley to have a shooting percentage of only 35.3%, and the Grizzlies won without any pressure.

This is Link's second game instead of Guy, and his performance is still outstanding. Although it is not as amazing as the 26 points in the previous game, his performance of 7 of 10 shots and 19 points was enough. Coupled with 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Link was praised again.

After the game, Link didn't even feel very tired. Some time ago, he fought with powerful teams like the Lakers, Thunder and Nuggets. After getting used to the intense intensity and rhythm, now he suddenly hit the Bucks and other fish, and then Link felt extremely relaxed.

After returning to the locker room, Link began to plan to see the car tomorrow. He invited Randolph to go with him, and Randolph happily agreed. Then, Link called the manager Jeff Austin again and asked him what suggestions he had.

As a result, Jeff Austin's answer made Link speechless, "You can buy anything you like. This is not an investment, and there is no risk. If you really don't know which car to choose, just buy all the cars you are struggling with. Anyway, it's just a small amount of money."

"I bought a few cars for a small amount of money." Link curled his lips. Buying a car is a big expense for most ordinary Chinese families. What's more, it's still in 2011.

In the United States, although buying a car is not a big deal, it is not just a matter of buying it. Some young people even cry when they get their first car in their lives.

But in Jeff Austin's mouth, buying a car is like buying instant noodles. You can't get enough of what you want to eat? Get a few more packs?

Link used to hear that American cars are much cheaper than China, but Link has never studied how much it is. So when he got home today, Link turned on his computer and searched the car price online.

I don’t know if I don’t search, but I really shocked Link when I searched.

This is simply a bargain! Especially with Link's salary level, there is no need to worry.

At the beginning, Link searched for some ordinary family models. As a result, the prices ranged from thousands to more than ten thousand dollars, but they were cheap anyway.

Afterwards, Link boldly searched for some relatively luxurious models.

Ford Mustang is considered a "diaosi sports car" in China, but the starting price of this car is actually not a bad person at all, and it is still beyond the reach of most people. Link saw the price in the United States, 20,000-50,000 yuan.

Later, Link looked at BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audiri, which cost 700,000 to 800,000 yuan in China. What was the result? The prices were all in the range of 600,000 to 100,000 US dollars.

Finally, Link searched for the Land Rover Range Rover. This car is priced at millions of yuan in China, which is something that most ordinary people will never work hard for in their entire lives.

As a result, the price in the United States starts at 89,500 yuan. That means that now Link directly buys a million-level luxury car from China, and there is no pressure at all.

The cheaper American cars are not just about the conversion rate. Even if the US dollar is converted into RMB, the United States is still selling cheaper than China. The same car is basically only about 60% of that in China.

Part of this is due to various taxes, but there is also the problem of "silly people and more money". People set a high price to sell in China, but the result is that they sell very well, so naturally they will not be lowered.

Seeing that the car that he could never afford in his life is now only priced at a bargain, Link couldn't help but sigh. No wonder those stars bought cars worth thousands or millions, and they bought them for a car garage.

The next day, Link and Randolph went straight to the sales place after training. At first, Link wanted to buy Ford Mustangs. After all, they looked handsome and had good performance, which was suitable for young people.

But later Link found that it was not comfortable to sit in a car with a height of 2.03 meters, and it seemed that he could reach his head even if he was bumpy, so he had to give up.

In the end, Link chose the Land Rover Range Rover, a car that starts at 1.22 million yuan in China.

Range Rover is famous for its huge space and powerful off-road capabilities. Land Rover is a standard British brand, even the Queen of England’s car is Range Rover. For most people, it is really a symbol of money and power.

However, for Link, buying it doesn't hurt or itchy at all, it's just buying a transportation tool.

"How is it? I just said that this kind of car is more comfortable than a sports car. It has a large space, a better vision, and a strong power." Randolph sat on the co-pilot and looked at the interior of the car.

"It's okay, it's all." Link said as he was okay, but in fact he felt happy. He had never seen many luxurious configurations of this car before.

No wonder Randolph lent his Mercedes-Benz to him in the past, because these cars are not a big deal for him. After all, since the 2005-06 season, Randolph has already started with an annual salary of tens of millions.

After buying the car, Link took Randolph to Memphis Street for a walk. I have to say that after having the car, the range of movement was much larger and he would never be limited by inconvenience.

Moreover, Link himself is a person who enjoys driving after all. Driving is also a hobby for him.

The day after buying the car, Link drove his new car to train. There is no need to worry about not having a taxi or waiting. He can go out whenever he wants. This feeling of freedom is really exciting.

But during training today, Link always felt that Randolph had a smile on his face. As a result, after the training, Link finally knew what medicine was sold in Randolph's pocket.

After the afternoon training, Link went to the parking lot and opened the door, and was stunned. Because his car was stuffed with popcorn!

The next second, Randolph and several teammates ran out of the corner, taking photos with his cell phone in his hand, recording Link's surprised expression.

Link sighed speechlessly. Before he came here, he had also watched some videos of rookies being played like this. In various NBA teams, this is simply a "retained program" after rookies joined the team for a period of time.

But I didn't expect that Link would have this day.

"Hahahaha, I've been waiting for a long time today! Link, we're even now!"
