Chapter 2 Purchase of a new car
Bai Xiaonian, who had just settled in Minneapolis, did not immediately devote himself to the team's collective training. It's July, and most of the players have left the team for their own personal activities.
And Bai Xiaonian, as the only rookie to join the Minnesota Timberwolves this summer, has nothing to do alone in Minneapolis at this time. As for the Timberwolves' Lithuanian fellow Donatas Modiguenas, who was selected by Valanciunas with the No. 20 pick in the first round, he was traded to the Houston Rockets on the day he was selected. So much so that our little white shoes have become the only seed in the draft market for the Minnesota Timberwolves this year.
Bai Xiaonian's agent Jeff Schwartz has been calling Bai Xiaonian every day recently to discuss his first contract in life. Although the labor disputes in the league are now intensifying, this does not affect Bai Xiaonian from winning a valuable rookie contract. However, if you want both parties to sit down and sign the pledge, you have to wait until the labor dispute is resolved.
Since the NBA was shut down on July 1, many players have chosen to play overseas to make extra money, but with Bai Xiaonian's background, he obviously doesn't need to do that.
You must know that during the NBA shutdown, players are not eligible to use any of the team's training facilities, and the summer league that Bai Xiaonian has been looking forward to is even more unexpected. This leads to the fact that in addition to completing their basic physical training every day, our little white children's shoes can only nag and nag their girlfriends Emma or Owen and Clay about their daily life...
"I said Wood, you're a big star now, why don't you buy yourself a car?"
On the phone, Owen smiled and instigated, a few days ago, he just signed an endorsement contract with Nike for sneakers, and immediately picked up a Mercedes-Benz C63, and in the past two days, he has been driving around with his little sisters who have just picked up his hands, and life is beautiful.
"Car?"
After hanging up Owen's phone, Bai Xiaonian's mind couldn't help but become active.
Every man has a dream of speed and passion in his heart, if his wife is the eldest wife, then a car that can satisfy him is the second wife.
In his previous life, Bai Xiaonian was one of his few hobbies in addition to basketball, and studying various cars was also one of his few hobbies.
Although Bai Xiaonian has not signed an official rookie contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves, the first year after signing with Nike has already been paid to his account.
If you look at the current Bai Xiaonian from the perspective of an ordinary person, then he is already a millionaire in the traditional sense, and the money for a car alone is completely a piece of cake for him!
Without thinking about it for long at home, Bai Xiaonian swaggered into the global car sales center in Minneapolis with his credit card.
Although Minnesota's overall economy is not particularly prosperous, there are car dealerships of various brands.
Bai Xiaonian, who has a lot of money, has visited the stores of world-famous supercars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and even McLaren, but after his own test drive, he found that these supercars do not seem to be as comfortable as he imagined.
………
"I want to buy GTR!"
"I'll buy you a Mercedes..."
"I want to buy GTR!"
"Would you like to add another Rolex?"
"I'm going to buy GTR! If I had turned on GTR last night, I would have crashed? ”
"If you drive GTR, you'll be dead a long time ago!"
Suddenly, a magical line appeared in Bai Xiaonian's mind, which made our little white children's shoes walk into the Nissan store in Minneapolis by mistake.
As soon as he entered Nissan's sales hall, Bai Xiaonian was attracted by a white sports car parked in the center of the hall, the streamlined and angular shape is embellished with a black GT rear wing of full carbon and a customized version of the aerodynamic surrounding, and the four round red taillights on the plump buttocks shine with a terrifying blood light, making the whole car like a tiger lying low, quietly parked there waiting for its owner to wake him up.
Bai Xiaonian had no doubt that behind its quiet was the frenzied power that was ready to attack! The blood-red GTR on the butt of the car is declaring its noble identity to the world, this is the fourth-generation Dongying God of War GTR35!
The Nissan sales staff in the specialty store quickly recognized Bai Xiaonian, a little guy who is now in the middle of the day in Minnesota, and enthusiastically introduced the GTR in front of him while pouring tea and water.
It turns out that this is a 12 Skylir 35 V-Spec special edition that just arrived a few days ago, the 3.8-liter V6 engine with twin-turbo can make this unique God of War burst out with 652 Nm of torque and more than 600ps of horsepower, and this special edition GTR is equipped with Nissan's latest technology 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, Coupled with GTR's world-class full-time all-wheel drive system, it accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in just 2.7 seconds with a catapult start.
And the price of this extremely violent GTR is not as expensive as the supercars of other luxury brands, because the person in charge of this store is also a Timberwolves fan, so they give it a super low price of just over $100,000.
"This! Can I sit on it and give it a try! ”
Bai Xiaonian scratched his head and asked, some people on the Internet said that the performance of the GTR has no rival in sports cars under 500,000 US dollars, and he wanted to experience for himself whether the GTR is as magical as the legend.
"This... No problem! Mr. Wood, I'm sure this car will definitely please you! ”
The person in charge of the store readily agreed, in fact, according to the company's regulations, GTR cars of this level are not allowed to be directly tested without applying in advance, but if the person who wants to test drive is the current Minnesota superstar Wood White, it is a different matter.
Taking the key handed over by the person in charge, Bai Xiaonian gently opened the car door and got into the car.
Boy! As soon as you sit in the cab of the GTR, the car suddenly feels different, the dark silver interior is embellished with horizontal and vertical carbon fiber plates, the highly wrapping bucket seat firmly fixes Bai Xiaonian's body on the car's floor, and the dashboard with red pointers gives people a different kind of radicalization.
Pressing the red button with one button to start at hand, Bai Xiaonian slowly started the car.
Suddenly, the red V6 engine under the hood transmitted a steady stream of majestic power to the whole car, and the roar of this "super heart" made Bai Xiaonian's whole person feel enthusiastic!
"How? Wood, I didn't lie to you! It's really a good car. The person in charge of the store patted the treasure of their town store with some pride.
Bai Xiaonian slowly released the brake under his feet, tapped the alloy throttle of the GTR, and instantly a strong thrust swept through his body, the power response of this car is not as obvious as other turbocharged cars, the overall power output of the engine does not have the slightest stagnation, the timing of turbo intervention is just right, and it is very comfortable to drive.
After driving a few laps on the road outside, Bai Xiaonian drove the car back to the store with a satisfied smile.
In society, my white brother, people don't talk much! After less than 5 minutes of driving in the cockpit of the white God of War GTR, the little white kids' shoes decided to take down the coquettish white GTR35 and give it to himself as a gift to him to enter the NBA.
