Chapter 215: A Solemn Invitation

After the victory over the Pacers, the Kings boarded the plane overnight, and after a four-hour journey, they arrived at Boston's Logan International Airport.

Boston, the city next to the North Atlantic, is one of the oldest and most culturally valuable cities in the United States. As an important location of American origin, one of the characteristics of this city is its toughness.

In terms of humanities, Boston is home to some of the world's top universities such as MIT and Harvard. Athletically, the Boston Red Sox have won seven championships, the New England Patriots have five Super Bowl titles, and even the Boston Bruins have six Stanley Trophies.

Of course, Boston's scariest thing in sports is basketball, with the Celtics winning 17 NBA championships, including eight consecutive championships that the team couldn't match.

The record of 8 consecutive championships is terrifying just to think about, let alone break this record. Fortunately, Boston's last championship was almost a decade ago, and it's impossible to challenge the record, but it should be fine to challenge the Celtics.

Just tonight, the Kings will travel to North Shore Gardens for the second time this season against a superpowerhouse.

The Celtics brought in two superstars, Irving and Hayward, this season, and they were aiming to win the championship, but unfortunately Hayward was injured in the first game of the season against the Cavaliers, which greatly frustrated the Celtics' plans.

Fortunately, Irving has made an amazing transformation, from a shooting scorer to a leader who leads the team forward. It is worth mentioning that in the last 5 games, the Celtics have won all of them, in addition to Irving's stable performance, the veteran Horford also performed well, and the two rookie players - Tatum and Jaylen Brown also played remarkably.

Fighting against such a powerful team would be a severe test for the king.

Zhang Feng arrived at the hotel at 4 o'clock in the morning, but he slept for 5 hours and was full of energy and energy.

"Hello, I didn't expect you to wake up so early", Zhang Feng just opened the door and saw Stevens standing outside smiling at him, facing his greeting, Zhang Feng was stunned for half a second before replying: "You are also very early."

Zhang Feng didn't expect Stevens to arrive early, and personally ran to the door of his room to wait, although this attitude seems a bit exaggerated, but it is indeed very dedicated, from this point Zhang Feng understands why those players listen to his command.

Stevens is a coach who does his best to win, and this is what Zhang Feng commented on him from the bottom of his heart.

"I hope it didn't disturb your rest," Stevens said with an apologetic smile.

"No, I was just going to contact you, I'm ready, I can go now," Zhang Feng said as he straightened his clothes.

"Don't you have to bring tools or something? Isn't it a bit ...... to go to the doctor like this," the assistant next to Stevens asked with a little suspicion.

Zhang Feng was about to explain, but Stevens hurriedly said: "shut up, since we asked Mr. Zhang Feng to come forward, we should naturally trust Mr. Zhang Feng completely, and quickly apologize for your rude words just now."

The assistant was so frightened that he was about to open his mouth with a red face, but Zhang Feng hurriedly waved his hand to stop it: "Don't say that, it's because he cares about Hayward's injury that people will be suspicious, which is normal." Don't apologize, if you really don't want to go, you can cheer for our king in tonight's game."

Stevens is not suspicious of people, and he doesn't need to be suspicious, and his words expressed the greatest respect for Zhang Feng, while Zhang Feng was an understatement to resolve the embarrassment, and at the same time made a little joke to enliven the atmosphere, which made the assistant look at the side in a daze, and he thought to himself: These two people are really interesting, wouldn't they be invincible if they cooperate?

"Let's go have breakfast first, there's one of the best breakfast spots in Boston around here," Stevens suggested.

"Okay, the guest is as you please," Zhang Feng readily agreed.

It was already 10 o'clock after the meal, and the three of them walked out to visit an extended Lincoln, looking at Stevens' eyes, Zhang Feng knew that this was a special car to pick them up.

"Does it need to be that heavy?" Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"Of course, you are the VIP invited by the boss, let's get in the car first" Stevens made a 'please' gesture, and the assistant immediately opened the car door for Zhang Feng.

As soon as he got into the car, Stevens spoke up again: "First of all, I want to convey his apologies for Vic, he was not feeling well this morning, so he couldn't come and pick you up in person, I hope you don't be surprised."

Vic Grossbeck is the current owner of Celtic, and it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that he was going to come over to greet Zhang Feng in person, but in any case, this is an attitude to Zhang Feng - they have a lot of respect for Zhang Feng.

"Don't be so troublesome, there are two reasons why I helped Hayward heal his injuries" Zhang Feng chose to directly state the real reason, lest the Celtics make some unnecessary arrangements later.

"Oh? I'm curious, please tell me," Stevens said, raising his hand.

"First, if I can help Hayward recover, it will be a great promotion for my medical skills and my club, this kind of opportunity is very rare, after all, Kobe Bryant and Curry's injuries were minor before, not enough to prove my level"

"Second, I've made $12 million through Kyrie Irving, and I didn't make it to work out when I agreed to shoot a Coca-Cola commercial with him, so this time it's a favor for him."

After Zhang Feng finished speaking, Stevens nodded in understanding, and then he continued: "It seems that you have a good relationship with the Celtics."

"I'm curious, why did you look for me, after all, Boston has a rigorous academic spirit, and you haven't doubted my medical treatment similar to Chinese medicine?" Zhang Feng suddenly asked rhetorically.

The purpose of Zhang Feng's question is to see the true attitude of the Celtics through Stevens' reaction, and what will happen next, after all, last time in Oakland, the whole Warriors team was skeptical, and this time the Celtics not only did not seem to have the slightest suspicion, but also treated them politely.

"Honestly, we are dead horses as live horse doctors, we can't afford to gamble, and we can't afford to wait, do you know what I mean?" Although no outsiders were present, Stevens explained it in suggestive terms.

As soon as Stevens said this, Zhang Feng immediately understood, the Celtics wanted to win the championship in the next one to two seasons, but Hayward's injury disrupted this plan, and the Celtics now want to heal Hayward's injury as soon as possible at all costs, they must have seen the rehabilitation plans proposed by various medical experts, but they are not satisfied with the time required by these plans, and finally want to ask Zhang Feng, who is said to have instantly cured Kobe's injury, to take a look.

In this way, it makes sense to invite Zhang Feng, but it still can't be explained, why the Celts want to receive Zhang Feng with such a high courtesy, and the boss has to apologize if he can't arrive, this is not an ordinary invitation at all, but a very grand invitation.
