464: Wealthy District

Link didn't wake up until noon the next day, and as soon as he got out of bed, he felt sore, especially in his calves that he had cramped yesterday.

Yesterday's game, I was so tired! From the second half of the fourth quarter, Link's physical strength was basically exhausted, and it was completely with perseverance and desire to win.

Although his whole body was sore, the first thing Link did when he got up was to smile.

Link couldn't be happier when he remembered what he had experienced last night. That's the San Antonio Spurs, a San Antonio Spurs that are close to another peak.

Parker, Danny. Green, Leonard, Duncan, Split, plus Dio and Ginobili, this lineup of the Spurs in the original history, but later overturned the Heat Big Three and won the championship.

And yesterday, Link killed the "would-be champion" with a three-pointer from a drift back.

Link was happy not only because he had the final shot, but also because he had finally beaten the Spurs this season. As it turns out, the Grizzlies' regular season record this year is not inflated, and they can indeed beat the top teams in hard-to-go games.

4 battles in 5 days, and you can fight with the Spurs to the end. The next time you play against the Spurs when you are full of energy, you probably don't have to fight until the last ball to decide the winner.

All in all, yesterday's victory gave Link and the Grizzlies players a lot of confidence. Even if they meet the Spurs in the playoffs, the Grizzlies players will not be afraid.

Spurs have really gone strong this season and have become stronger than they have been in the last two years.

But unfortunately, the grizzlies in Tennessee have begun to move. They are so strong that they overshadow the spurs!

After waking up, Link didn't get up right away, but lay down for a while. It wasn't until one o'clock in the afternoon that he crawled out of the warm bed.

Today is the second day of the Grizzlies' 8-day, 6-game schedule to get a break, and there are no games. Considering that the Grizzlies players were too much to consume yesterday, Stevens scheduled the training for the afternoon, and must have just done some recovery training and called everyone back.

The Grizzlies' next game against the Dallas Mavericks is a team that has only won a championship in three years. But to be honest, the Mavericks, who knocked the Grizzlies out of the tournament in the first place, are now completely fearless. So, even if he doesn't have to train too hard, Stevens is confident that he can win the game.

Link slowly made himself lunch, spoke to Rachel on the phone, and got ready to head out for the day.

Yesterday's glory is exciting, but if you only bask in the glory of the past, it will only slow you down.

Link opened the door and looked at his little garden, which was so delicately tended by the gardener, and suddenly felt better.

However, this beautiful scene did not last long. Because in the next second, a bunch of reporters with microphones or voice recorders suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

Seeing the group of people rushing towards his house, Link was startled at first!

He thought he had been robbed!

After seeing clearly that it was a reporter who was visiting, Link breathed a sigh of relief. So, it's better to watch fewer movies on weekdays, so as not to have too much imagination.

But even if he was just a reporter, Link was very distressed. What's the situation? Why are so many reporters gathered in front of my house?

In the past, there would be occasional reporters squatting in front of Link's house, but only occasionally, and there were only one or two reporters squatting.

Today is good, there are so many reporters that they directly surrounded the door of the house.

Because the United States values the concept of the private sphere so much, reporters simply gathered outside the fence in the front garden of Link's house. But Link is going to go out after all, and if he wants to go out, he is destined to get off the fence. Now the door is blocked, what should I do?

"Link, can you tell us about yesterday's game? How did you end up doing it? ”

"What do you think the Grizzlies can get this year? Western Conference Champions? Or the overall champion? ”

"Link, do you prefer strawberry-flavored ice cream or vanilla-flavored ones?"

"Do you have a girlfriend? Did you have a baby? ”

As soon as Link approached the fence, the reporters chattered and asked questions. The first few questions are normal, and in the back, all kinds of strange questions come out......

It took a lot of effort for Link to finally squeeze into the garage and drive away. Fortunately, the local reporters in Memphis did not find fault and made way when they saw Link getting in the car.

Otherwise, Link estimates that he won't be able to go out today.

After a "hand-to-hand fight" with the reporters, the feeling of exhaustion instantly spread throughout the body.

It's too exaggerated, it's the first time Link has been blocked by reporters as soon as he goes out. Of course, it's scary to think about it. When did you say those reporters started squatting? There are dozens of people squatting outside your house at any given time, and this kind of thing is still somewhat uncomfortable.

After arriving at the training gym, Link shared what had happened to his teammates, and then Big Brother Randolph slapped his trouser leg and laughed.

"There aren't many stars in Memphis. So, it's a breeze for journalists to find where you live. This incident only shows two problems, first, your kid is really hot now. Second, it's time for you to change houses. ”

Randolph is unreliable most of the time off the field, for example, when he encouraged Link to buy a car, but the real purpose was to stuff popcorn in Link's car......

This time, however, Link felt that Randolph had some point.

Link lives in the same house as when he first came to Memphis. Austin helped find it.

This two-story building is already very luxurious for Link, but it is still an ordinary civilian residential area after all. Link's neighbors are ordinary citizens, and there are no luxuriant facilities here.

I wasn't famous before, so there seems to be nothing wrong with living in this kind of place. However, now that the tree is making a big move, today's "encirclement and suppression" by reporters is just the beginning.

God knows if there will be fanatical female fans sneaking into their homes and lying in their beds......

In the past, because I could only sign a ten-day short contract, I was really shy in my pocket, so I could only find a cheap house to live in. Now that this is the case, maybe it's really time to change houses.

"Hmm...... But are there any upscale residential areas in Memphis? Link pouted, this wasn't New York or Los Angeles. There's no super-rich neighborhood like Beverly Hills, nor Manhattan or Long Island.

Although Link already loves the city of Memphis very much, the reality must also be recognized - Memphis is really poor, and the whole city is indeed quite dilapidated except for the central city.

Is there a wealthy area in such a declining city?

"It depends on how upscale it is, like Beverly Hills...... Memphis doesn't expect it to be until the end of the world. But in a more modest area for the wealthy, I know a good place. Randolph sold the guanzi again, and Link sighed, he had to listen to Randolph's various self-aggrandizements tonight.

※※※

Driving through a grove of trees, Link suspected that Randolph was taking him out of town.

On the side of the road, Link also saw a sign that depicted a deer. Then, in the woods on both sides of the road, Link actually saw a few deer......

How can this feel like entering a safari park.

"Hey, you don't want me to live in the forest, do you?" Link pouted, they had been driving for half an hour when they came out of the arena, and now Link didn't even see the shadow of the house.

"Boy, do you know what a rich man's district is? The forest is like a fence that separates people of different identities. That's America, man. ”

"......" Link gave Randolph a blank look, and the guy began to pretend to be deep again.

Finally, after making his way through the forest, Link suddenly found an open space ahead. What catches your eye is a patch of green, a wide expanse of green! It's like building a couple of villas on a beautiful prairie.

The environment is very beautiful, like a park. Link had never seen such a pleasant place in Memphis before.

Randolph's car was stopped by an old man in a security uniform, who was wearing white gloves and polite, "Gentlemen, may I ask ......"

After seeing Randolph and Link sitting in the car window, the uncle instantly understood, "Are the gentlemen here to see the house?" ”

"That's right, Link wants to buy a house here." Randolph tilted his head.

"Oh, that's an honor for Ariel! Wait a minute, I'll ask a real estate agent to show you around! ”

"See? This kind of place is not allowed to outsiders to enter. So in the future, even if reporters find out your address again, you don't have to worry about them harassing you. Randolph winked at Link triumphantly, as if he had built the housing area.

"That looks pretty good." Link stuck his head out the window and looked around, the environment here was very different from the one he was living in now.

Clean roads, clean lawns, luxurious villas, and harmonious residents...... Link even saw a lot of squirrels and other small animals bouncing on the lawn, as if they had entered a fairy tale world.

"There's also a huge lake, the size of 120 football fields! This residential area is built around the lake. If I were you, I'd buy a house by the lake and a boat to put in the backyard. In this way, you can go fishing in the lake at any time. I've wanted to buy a house here before, so I've learned a little bit about it. I heard that the houses here used to sell for more than 1 million. However, after the 2008 financial crisis, some people sold their houses because they could not afford them, or they were forced to repossess them by banks and then auctioned them, and the house prices fell by about 30%. Right now. It is estimated that six or seven hundred thousand can be won. ”

While Randolph and Link were talking, a young girl in a suit knocked on the car window, she was supposed to be the property manager here.

"Let's go, gentlemen. Welcome to Ariel and welcome to the home of dreams. ”

Link smiled happily, it was time to comfort himself off the court.
