The moment he saw Russell, Zhang Feng involuntarily glanced at his hand. Sure enough, Russell's hands were full of rings, and the title of Lord of the Rings was well deserved.

However, Zhang Feng quickly thought of a question, when will Russell appear in front of people with a ring in addition to taking photos? He would hardly do that, could he have met him so coincidentally today?

There is no coincidence in this world at all, Zhang Feng instantly thought of a possibility, which may probably explain why the Celtics invited him so ceremoniously today that treating Hayward's injuries seemed to be incidental.

"Hello, I'm Vic, I'm sorry I didn't pick you up at the hotel in the morning, I believe Stevens has told you that I'm not feeling well", the person who spoke before stretched out his hand to Zhang Feng.

It turned out that this person was Celtics owner Vic Grossbeck, no wonder he could directly finalize a plan for Hayward to recuperate, he is a legendary owner who moved all the way from the Bay Area to the Marseille states in order to treat his son who was born blind, and then bought the Boston Celtics with a friend.

Since moving to Boston in '02, Vic has been committed to bringing the team back to its former glory, first personally asking Danny Ainge to be the team's general manager, then signing Doug Rivers as the team's head coach, and finally forming the Celtics Big Three after a roundabout process, and finally winning the NBA championship in '08.

The Celtics then went on to be strong for many years, but they were never able to go any further, and in addition to the unlucky Garnett season reimbursement and Perkins' serious injury in the Finals, they also encountered the unstoppable Heat Big Three.

In 2013, the Celtics were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Knicks, and they opted to trade Pierce and Garnett that summer, and the Celtics entered the rebuild again.

Now, in 2017, only 4 years after the last rebuild, the Celtics are back in the championship business, and the credit played by owner Vick in this is self-evident, because he chose Stevens, who has no NBA experience, as the team's new coach, and of course Stevens did not live up to his recognition.

"Hello, I don't mind," Zhang Feng said with a smile.

"That's the best, this time you made a special trip to treat Hayward's injury, we are very grateful, we have prepared it in terms of remuneration, I don't know if you have any more requests" Vic asked.

According to the previous agreement between Zhang Feng and Stevens, Zhang Feng will not be charged for this treatment, and after the Celtics check Hayward's injury every 2 weeks, if the effect is good, Zhang Feng's club will be promoted on the injury report.

There are two reasons for not charging money, one is that Zhang Feng does not have American medical qualifications, and the health care training done by his club is not bad, and the other is that Zhang Feng is not bad at this money, what he needs more is prestige. Of course, Vic has said that if Hayward's recovery time is shorter than the eight months agreed by the regular medical plan, he will give Zhang Feng a Bay Area property in his private name.

"I don't have any special requests, but if the future Kings and Celtics meet in the Finals, I hope you can open up about the elasticity of those floors on the court."

"Hahaha, of course it's fine," Vic said happily.

Zhang Feng said that the elasticity of the floor has always been a topic of conversation among fans, and he said this to adjust the atmosphere, because after he finished speaking, he went straight to Russell, he bent down slightly and said:

"I am very happy to meet you, and I would like to express my highest respect to you."

Zhang Feng's respectful attitude and actions fell in the eyes of Vic, Stevens, and Danny Angie, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, as if they had conspired to succeed in something.

"Very good, young man, I have seen you play, your block impresses me", Russell first held Zhang Feng with his right hand, then put his left hand on it, and patted it lightly three times, and the light of the championship ring kept shining.

Suddenly, seeing so many shining championship rings up close, Zhang Feng's eyes suddenly showed a look of envy.

"Really? I just want to take a step further in defense, and when I meet a defensive master like you today, I have to study hard," Zhang Feng said modestly.

Saying this, Vic and Stevens coughed at the same time, and gave Russell a look, Russell smiled and said:

"It's great that you realize the importance of defense, and it's not just a matter of saying that you win a championship, and of course I can teach you, but I live in Boston all year round and you live in Sacramento all year round, so we don't get to spend a lot of time together, and you have to spend a lot of time and study to understand what defense is all about."

Russell's words were serious, but Zhang Feng still heard something in his words, which also confirmed his conjecture:

The hint that the Celtics want to recruit themselves is too obvious.

During the summer league, Stevens expressed his intention to cooperate with him, and today's grand invitation to add a luxury squad to meet with him is undoubtedly more illustrative of this matter, but he is a player with a contract, so whether it is Celtics plus Stevens, owner Vic, and general manager Danny Angie can not directly express this meaning, only Bill Russell can say to Zhang Feng: "Come to the Celtics".

Even so, Russell could only vaguely express this matter, so he wore championship rings in both hands, and used the sparkling light to make himself yearn for the championship.

Thinking of this, Zhang Feng smiled and said: "Yes, we always miss the time, which is really a pity, now we all have our own more important things, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely learn from you for a long time."

The meaning of Zhang Feng's words is obvious, that is, he will not consider changing teams for the time being.

But Vic, an extremely confident person, can also be used as an opportunity for polite words, and he couldn't help but say:

"In the future, we will open the door for you at any time as long as you want."

Zhang Feng is grateful for the appreciation of these people, but he doesn't quite understand why the Celtics are so optimistic about themselves, after all, they already have Kyrie Irving, in terms of scoring and organizational leadership, Irving is stronger than him, maybe the only thing he is better than Irving is in defense, why are the Celtics so desperate to get themselves?

Could it be that the first team to recruit will impress you even more? Also, why are the Celtics sure that they will choose to sign with another team after their rookie contract ends? Or are there any ways they can get Kings management not to exercise the third-year team option?

Of course, it is impossible for the King to take the initiative not to execute the third year of the contract, because Zhang Feng is the absolute core of the King's future, not to mention the relationship with Anjiali, so Zhang Feng really can't understand why the Celtics began to express their intention to recruit so early, after all, Kerr openly and Durant's eyebrows are in the last year of Durant's contract.

Don't think about it if you don't understand, but Zhang Feng feels that he can't miss this opportunity to learn defense from Russell, although the time is short, but after all, Russell is the first person to defend, a living legend, and he can learn as much as he can.
