When he came to the parking lot, his teammates' luxury cars had disappeared, and the coach and the rest of the staff did not know the car Haugist, who could only wrap a bath towel at the entrance of the passage and wait miserably for an acquaintance to come out to pick up the car.

After waiting for a long time, Dr. Fan Xiaohongfan, an old acquaintance, walked out of the passage with a satchel and a fart, and was taken aback when he saw Hoggist's appearance, and then laughed again, "What kind of thing is that?" ”

"Ma Maipi, Lao Tzu was miserable by his teammates!" Hoggist said angrily.

"Hey, what did you say about Trump?" Fan Xiaohong was taken aback when he heard Hoggist's words, but spoke Mandarin instead.

"Hey, isn't that what the term MMP is trending on the internet right now!" Hoggist smiled bitterly, "These teammates ran out after celebrating, and when I came back from the press conference, the hot water was gone, my wardrobe was locked, I couldn't take a shower, I couldn't change my clothes, and I couldn't get my mobile wallet, and I was desperate now, so I could only wait here to see if there were any acquaintances who could send me home." ”

Fan Xiaohong's eyes rolled, and he said mysteriously: "It's just right, it's a coincidence today, don't go back home first, I'll take you to another place!" ”

"Where to go? Can you get me a coat to wear first? It's cold outside! I can't just wrap myself in a towel all the time, can I? Haugistra pulled the towel from his body and said.

"Coats? I really don't have one, but I have a white coat in my bag, so why don't you make do with it first? It's better than you wrapped in a bath towel, right? Fan Xiaohong opened his bag and took out a white coat.

Hoggist is much taller than Fan Xiaohong, even though the white coat is originally worn over the coat and is relatively wide, Hoggist wears it like a straitjacket.

Fan Xiaohong's car is an old manual transmission Jetta, and the co-pilot is still sitting aggrieved in the end, so Hougist simply curled up in the back seat, at least his legs can be stretched straight.

The car drove all the way to the far suburbs, and Hougist asked curiously, "Old Fan, where are we going?" ”

"What's the old Fan! Call me like I'm seventy or eighty, just call me Lao Fan, and you'll know when you get to the place, and I'll take you to meet a few people. Fan Xiaohong replied.

"As for making it so mysterious? Okay, I won't ask who I will meet, I will ask how far I have to go, I am tired after a night of tossing, if it is still far away I will sleep for a while. Hougist yawned.

"You sleep, although it's not very far, but it's not easy to walk at night, I'll drive slower." Fan Xiaohong turned off the music in the car.

Haugist slept a lot of night, and was woken up by the brakes after nearly an hour, "Is it there?" Hoggist asked, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

Fan Xiaohong stopped the car and turned around and said, "Just arrived, it seems that he has already come first, let's get out of the car!" ”

The two got out of the car, Hougist looked around, through the hazy moonlight to see that the shadows around seemed to be trees, and the height was staggered, it didn't seem to be flat ground, the car stopped on the side of the road, although the road was paved with cement asphalt, but the ground was full of cracks caused by disrepair and no one maintained, the road was not wide, I don't know if there was no line on the ground or it had been worn out, it seemed that even two-way bicycles could only barely pass, and the dim street lights were far away before there was one, The road turned a short distance and disappeared into darkness, and it looked like it was supposed to be a valley.

"I'll go! Lao Fan, we got along well once we met, you still introduced me to this job, you can't kill me for money! Hoggist screamed, he had seen a lot of horror movies, and he was familiar with this kind of murder and corpse dumping in the wilderness.

Fan Xiaohong smiled dumbly, "I said that Liwa is very bold, what am I trying to do with you?" Isn't there a building in front of you? Come with me, let's go inside and talk! ”

Hougist only then noticed the light in front of him from the depths of the forest, and there was a car parked more than ten meters away in front, Hoggist approached and observed, this high-end looking black SUV was actually a Bentley Bentayga that had just been listed, the license plate number was 6MGC932, Hoggist guessed casually: "Did you bring me to see a magician?" ”

"That's right, it's his new car, and he only drives it when he comes here, how did you guess?" Fan Xiaohong was taken aback.

"The license plate number is too obvious! Anyway, why do we meet secretly in such a wilderness? Do you have any shady secrets? Hogist asked.

"Not to mention, this is really unseemly, I'm working on a secret weapon for the Lakers! Today, the magician is going to inspect the goods, and I think that you introduced me to the work of developing a secret weapon anyway, and this secret weapon will be mainly for you in the future, so I will bring you here to see it in advance. Fan Xiaohong said proudly.

Hogist followed Fan Xiaohong on a stone-paved path through the bushes, and in front of him was a three-story reinforced concrete building, with a Chinese traditional Chinese plaque of "Bashu Zhenggu Fan" and an English plaque of "Dr. Fan Orthopedic Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Center for Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine" hanging at the main entrance.

Hogist was very surprised, "Lao Fan, is this your private practice?" Why is it that you can't drive in such a remote place, and you can't drive in, is there a business? ”

"You know how to skewer!" Fan Xiaohong retorted: "How can you study secret weapons without such a remote place? And the privacy of patients here can be protected to the greatest extent, and the treatment fee here is very expensive, and the patients who receive them are high-end patients! You don't talk nonsense now, just follow along. ”

Fan Xiaohong came to the main entrance, opened the fingerprint combination lock, and walked into the building with Haugist. As soon as I entered the door, the hall was brightly lit, bright as day, and there was a white beauty at the front desk, who nodded and smiled at Fan Xiaohong: "Dr. Fan, you are back, Mr. Johnson is waiting for you in the backyard." ”

Fan Xiaohong nodded, "Thank you beautiful Jennifer, you can go back to rest after work!" ”

The hall is flanked by long corridors, and across the hall is the backyard of the small building. The size of the yard was beyond Hogist's imagination, and it should be no small project to launch such a large area of flat land in a valley. There are two basketball courts and two tennis courts in the first row, and the four fields are lined up side by side, while in the back is a standard American football field with both rugby and soccer fields on the ground.

Hoggist said in surprise: "What a big backyard! How big is this rehab center? How did you buy such a large piece of land? How much money you have made in China! ”

"Ignorance is a hammer, Lao Tzu earns conscience money in China, and all the money he earns in the United States! Bah! I don't make any money in the United States, and it makes sense to give rich clients the best rehabilitation treatment, no matter how high the fee is! Fan Xiaohong said angrily, "This was originally a mental hospital, and then there was a murder of a mentally ill person that caused it to be abandoned, I bought it very cheaply, yes, although it is cheap here, I can't afford to pay so much, so this rehabilitation institution also has a stake in magicians!" These venues were also funded by magicians in order to provide patients with better and more professional rehabilitation facilities. ”

"It's all for athletes' rehabilitation? But do you have that many customers? Such a good venue, I think it would be more suitable for you to open a sports academy. Hougist scoffed.

"I have said that all the facilities and services here are in order to reflect the word 'high-end', many athletes who come to do rehabilitation will bring their own sparring partners, we need to provide the best quality and closest to the field for them to use, since I got Embiid at the end of August and became the new team doctor of the Lakers, Magic has cooperated with me to open this rehabilitation institution, which was officially put into use in October, and has received 5 NFL players, 2 NBA players and 3 major league football players so far, Magic also plans to build a baseball arena and an ice hockey arena in the next five years, making it the most high-end sports medicine rehabilitation center in Southern California and even in the United States, so that our business scope can fully cover the four major leagues in the United States! Fan Xiaohong said.

"It's a grand plan, but can you be a doctor who can hold up such a grand plan?" Hougist points to the crux of the matter.

When it comes to manpower issues, Fan Xiaohong is full of pride, "I have begun to recruit doctors with good English proficiency in Chinese and Western medicine in China, and I have been a master's supervisor and doctoral supervisor in China for several years, I dare not say that there are peach and plum all over the world, but there are still some good students, and now I am in the second year of the doctor's protégé Zhou Yi is here as my assistant, and his level is not bad, so the manpower has never been a problem I need to worry about." ”

It's almost midnight and the lights are all off, except for the first basketball court in the corner. Hoggist followed Fan Xiaohong to the court, and saw two big black men fighting under the basket from a distance, the taller one leaning on the shorter but fatter black man turned over and hooked his hand to easily throw the ball into the basket.

"Good shot!" Hougist shouted from afar, and both men on the pitch stopped their movements and turned their heads to look this way. When Hoggist approached, he found that the shorter and fatter black man he was defending just now was actually a magician, and the black man with an explosive head who was taller than the magician had only seen him in photos and videos, although he was a teammate on the same team, but he had never been able to see his true face.

"Joel. Embiid? Is this the Lakers' secret weapon? Didn't he have surgery on his right foot at the end of August, and at the beginning of October he said he had problems with his left foot and both knees? How can you play now? Hougist asked, surprised.

Fan Xiaohong stood beside him and explained: "Joel's case is very interesting, the external application of Chinese medicine has a miraculous effect on him, I have never seen such a rapid effect in yellow people in China, I didn't expect this medicine to work so well for a black man." ”

"And when will he be able to make a comeback?" Hogist asked.

"I can blow up all the interior lines in the NBA right now!" Embiid said confidently on the sidelines, "You played great tonight!" I appreciate your energy. When I come back, I will take you to pretend to be forced to fly with you, and take you to win the O'Brien Cup! ”

"It's quite rhyming, are you rapping?" Hoggist smiled, "But you got one thing wrong, I took you not you took me, being old doesn't mean that you have a big voice, and only strong strength can have the final say!" ”

"Just kidding, if you want to be the boss of the team, you not only need to be strong, although my strength is not bad, if you want to be the boss of the team, you must be in a good mental state, and you can't run around the street like a crazy person in a tight white coat!" Embiid shook his head.

"The length of each of your sentences is different, what's the point of just pressing the last word? Don't you find this kind of rap embarrassing? Besides, I wore a white coat because I fell for a prank by my teammates, and when you return to the team, such pranks will probably happen to you! Hougist said disdainfully.

"I heard that you claim to be a new magician with a very strong ball style, but the previous magician has been injured in the face by me, what ability do you have to be arrogant in front of me?" Embiid didn't feel embarrassed and continued to press on his own.

"Stop, why are you pulling me in? I'm taking care of your fragile body, so I don't dare to exert my strength, otherwise I can let you lie back on the hospital bed and pay the high hospitalization fee with your small body, believe it or not? When the magician heard Embiid's rap actually hack himself, he was also a little unhappy, so he took the initiative to stand up and respond.

"Boss, I'm not targeting you, I just want Hoggist to know that I have strong strength and good character, and I am very suitable to be the boss of the team, although he is also very strong, but such a maverick and unconventional player is not suitable for being a team leader!" Embiid was a little stunned when he saw that the Magic was angry, so he put away the honey embarrassed rap and explained in normal language.

"If you break four or five ancient records in a game, let your teammates splash champagne and are not allowed to take a shower, not allowed to change clothes, not allowed to drive, no mobile phone and wallet, so that you can walk home by yourself on a cold and bleak autumn night, then the kind team doctor finds a white coat to protect you from the cold, but you can do it resolutely not to wear, and then go alone and disappear into the night, I admire your character is better than me!" Hoggist scoffed.

"Sounds like you've had a miserable experience tonight!" The magician smiled, "You two are the cornerstones of the future team, I hope you can clear up the misunderstanding and cooperate sincerely, I don't want to see tonight's bickering again!" And Joel, you remember, before Kobe Bryant retired, he was always the boss of this Lakers team, and now the team chemistry is better than ever, I spent so much effort to trade you to do the best rehab for you, not to let you destroy the unity of the team! ”

The magician's tone was already more severe, and Hougist understood the magician's intention, which was to play "good cop, bad cop" with himself to convince Embiid, and now that the magician had sung a white face, it was his turn to sing red face and pretend to be a good person, so he took the initiative to come out and play a round, "It's true that what I wore today was too weird and caused unnecessary misunderstandings, I think if I wore this and walked in the neighborhood of San Andreas, I would definitely be shot and killed!" ”
