Chapter 179 From Boston to Los Angeles
The North Shore Garden Arena, home of the famous NBA team Boston Celtics, is located in the northeast of the United States.

The penultimate stop of the training camp is here, the most glorious venue in history, and the Celtics team that made this city famous throughout the United States.

This is the place with the most championship banners. There are 18 championship banners hanging above the arena, including Zhen Gushuojin's 13 championships in 11 years.

The latest carnival in this city was five years ago. Under the leadership of ace Paul Anthony, Boston, which has experienced ups and downs, has overcome all obstacles and brought back the long-awaited supreme glory to the city.

When it comes to championships, people usually think of Boston, because they have the most championships, and because they have the most legends.

There are 23 numbers on this team that cannot appear on the court, so there are often many rare numbers in the Celtics team, because they are the team with the most retired jersey numbers in the league.

It is very appropriate to set this as one of the stops of the training camp. Every year the training camp will choose an NBA team with a long history to visit, which can not only enrich the boring training camp time, but also allow the players to truly feel the rendering from the NBA.

【Which hurts more, the pain of hard work or the pain of regret?】

As soon as they arrived at the stadium, the players were greeted by the famous Celtic team motto: which is more painful, hard work or regret?

This team motto has accompanied the Celtics through ups and downs, and it is precisely because of this sentence that the "Immortal Soul Celtics" was created.

Henry can't wait to take pictures with these histories. In many NBA venues, many exhibits are not allowed to take pictures as souvenirs, but there are not so many rules and regulations in the North Shore Garden, but you can take pictures of everything you see.

"It's unbelievable." Boston's green is another feeling after Chicago's ebullient bright red the day before. Green represents discipline and compliance.

Since the Boston Celtics started a wave of five consecutive away games, this great venue will get a short rest in the last week. It will welcome a strong opponent after the Celtics end their five consecutive away games a week later, the old enemy Los Angeles Lakers.

Tickets for this powerful dialogue known as the "preview of the finals" were sold out as early as a month ago.

The green tone makes the player channel look extraordinarily solemn and solemn, and people can't help being in awe of it.

A total of three locker rooms are set up on the Celtics' home court. There is also a special locker room for the home team and the visiting team.

The design of this locker room is no different from other locker rooms, but the jerseys displayed inside are not ordinary. This locker room is specially set up for those retired jerseys. It is designed according to the one-to-one design of ordinary locker rooms. Every number here has its own space.

There are all kinds of jerseys hanging in each cabinet. These jerseys are the uniforms of the Celtics in the past. From the beginning of the team to the present, you can clearly feel the long history of Boston if you choose any wardrobe.

The Celtics have the NBA's most affectionate treatment for their heroes. The team's uniforms will have some minor changes almost every period of time. However, every time a jersey is designed, the team's management will print the retired jerseys and keep them as collections. This is the best commemoration for retired stars.

"A total of 68 pieces." Felix carefully counted the team uniforms in the closet. There are 68 pieces in total. These are the styles of the team uniforms worn by the Celtics. However, no matter how the styles change, the basic colors of the team uniforms are still mainly white and green. This is also the best inheritance of the "Celtics".

In the middle of the locker room is an exquisite rectangular showcase, displaying 18 golden O'Brien Cups inside, which almost embodies the pride of the entire city.

The campers in Chicago have been shocked by the glory achieved by the Bulls, but Boston is the real "King Bomber". Their number of championships is exactly three times that of the Bulls!
Moreover, they even have a dynasty that is longer and more legendary than the Bulls.

Mu Chenfeng walked to the closet [6]. The owner of this closet had no connection with him at all, but it did not prevent Mu Chenfeng from awe of him.

Bill Russell, the Lord of the Rings, won the championship rings in his career that he can't finish wearing both hands. He has 13 championships in 11 years, including 8 consecutive championships. The glory that others dream of in a lifetime is so easy for Bill Russell.

"Others only see my honor, but they don't see my efforts for honor!"

Under Bill Russell's name was written such a paragraph, which shocked Mu Chenfeng. That's right, all the results presented are the product of hard work, and only the truly strong are worthy of reaching the top.

"What are you thinking about?" Felix interrupted Mu Chenfeng's thoughts.

Mu Chenfeng said in a daze, "It's nothing."

"This is the most precious thing left to us by Senior Russell. It's a pity." As he spoke, Felix suddenly became sad. Russell almost became a centenarian.

The players only have one morning stopover at the North Shore Garden, because they have to fly to Los Angeles to prepare for tomorrow's qualifying match, and they have to make a transfer in Dallas before arriving in Los Angeles.

In the United States, every city has its own style.

Miami is full of enthusiasm, Detroit, the city of cars, Salt Lake City, the land of the plateau, and Dallas is covered with greenery.

Farmland, forests, creeks and lakes can be seen everywhere in Dallas. In the modernized United States, Dallas is a special existence, mild and comfortable. Even in midsummer, it is only around 28°, and late autumn is the most beautiful time in Dallas.

There will be a lot of hot air balloons in the sky over Dallas in autumn, because a unique hot air balloon festival is held here every year. They like to take a hot air balloon to overlook the whole of Dallas.

The time is tight, and campers don't have time to experience it. They must take the earliest flight to Los Angeles, and maybe catch the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Miami Heat at home.

The contest between No. [-] in the West and No. [-] in the East.

"I haven't actually watched an NBA game live yet, and I'm excited just thinking about it." Henry became restless after taking his seat on the plane.

Mu Chenfeng said lightly, "I have seen it, but it was during the Chinese competition."

In order to expand its influence, the NBA arranges some games in countries outside the United States every year. From the initial preseason to the regular season and then to last year's playoffs, the excitement of the games is increasing year by year.

But although he is also the coach of NBA teams, the excitement is obviously not as good as that in the United States. The excitement of foreign games will be limited by many factors, such as jet lag, players who are not acclimatized, the country's hosting capacity, and many unexpected factors.

However, these situations rarely occur in the NBA. Their system is more complete, and they have a stronger ability to respond to emergencies than other countries.

The NBA in the United States and the NBA outside the United States are completely two-level competitions.

"I can finally see that guy's true strength." The figure of James Bryant lingered in Mu Chenfeng's mind, and the fiasco of the last match was still vivid in his memory, but it was by no means the level that No.1 in the league should be.

The No.1 league is named after the NBA, and even a player as strong as Barrett has not been able to shake James' No.1 position in the league, which makes Mu Chenfeng even more suspicious of James' strength.

This game against the Heat will directly determine the number one in the league, and James Bryant will no longer have any reservations.

I would like to see how strong League No.1 is.
