Chapter 261
When it came to Randall's question, Wharton's tone was relaxed, as if he was talking about a very common thing, but his floating eyes could not deceive people, Tianyang knew that the problem might be a bit serious.

Wharton didn't want to go into details. Tianyang guessed that he was worried about leaking the news. After all, the last time he had a quarrel with General Wharton was leaked from within the team. Maybe the leaker didn't mean it, but it's not good anyway.

Tianyang gave up asking, and led the whole team to set off to the restaurant together.

Oakland is a core city in the Bay Area, facing San Francisco across the sea, and backed by the Andes Mountains, it forms a typical temperate maritime climate, warm in winter and cool in summer, making it very pleasant to live here.

A group of people from the Lakers team, all over 185cm tall, walked on the street together. The scene was really spectacular. Passers-by turned their heads almost 100% of the time, and they were quickly recognized by local fans.

The first two times the Lakers challenged the Warriors away this season, they flew away overnight after the game. The local fans had no chance to meet them now, and they all took out their cameras to take pictures.

Surprisingly, the scene was very harmonious. The local fans did not speak ill of the Lakers' victory over the Warriors, and the Lakers players also interacted with the fans along the way.

Local fans took a video and posted it on social networks, and more people knew the news of the Lakers going out.

Fans with good deeds followed the Lakers team and trekked all the way to Miss Moonlight Stew Restaurant.

At first, the Lakers players wanted to eat barbecue or Chinese food, but Walton sternly refused on the grounds of healthy diet, so they chose to choose, and finally decided to treat them at a stew restaurant.

The Lakers team plus the coaching staff, a total of 21 people, Randall is not there, just divided into 5 tables.

Unfortunately, the Lakers decided to have a dinner on the spur of the moment, and Walton only called after the game was won. The stew restaurant couldn't line up 5 empty tables, and there was no rest area in the store, so the whole team had to wait outside the store.

As a result, more and more fans stopped to watch, and it gradually evolved into a photo signing scene.

For half an hour, the entire Lakers team signed their signatures. Fortunately, the peak meal time of the stew restaurant finally passed, and the manager on duty hurriedly invited the entire Lakers team into the restaurant.

Wharton and Tianyang were the last to walk, and just about to turn around and enter the door, a voice came from behind.

"please wait a while!"

"Sorry, we're going to have dinner, please come back later if you want to sign an autograph." Wo Dun was worried that Tianyang would not save face, so he immediately turned around and refused to come.

"No, no, no, you're mistaken, I'm not here to ask for an autograph. Introduce myself, I'm a professional player for the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers, a member of the Washington State Greater California State University team, ** The founder of the A League, the owner of the BIG BALL brand, full name LaVar Ball, you can call me BIG BALL."

"Oh." Wharton showed no interest, turned around and left.

"Oh, don't worry, I have something to discuss with you." Laval chased and said.

"It's time for the team to eat, please wait." Wharton shook his head.

"I just saw your whole team come out for dinner on Twitter, and I deliberately took the time to come here from UCLA." Laval looked like he had no credit or hard work.

"Sorry to trouble you." Wharton politely refused again.

"I have a way to blow up Curry! Do you want to hear it?" LaVar yelled loudly. Not only did Walton stop subconsciously, but even the Lakers players who were walking in front turned their heads.

It's too shameless, and it will blow up Curry at every turn. Tianyang's single defense is so powerful, and it can only be restrained with Randall. Does this guy have any way to blow up the sky?
"Sorry, the team is currently not recruiting assistant coaches and video analysts." After a brief astonishment, Walton realized that LaVar was just trying to attract his attention, guessing that he wanted to find a job.

"Did I stop talking just now? I am the founder of an alliance and brand, not here to find a job. I really have a way to help you limit Curry!" Laval explained with a serious face.

"Okay, I'll give you a minute." Wharton knew that the other party had a thick skin, so he could only refuse in another way. "I will write down your suggestion, discuss it with the coaching staff, and give you an answer within two working days."

After Walton finished speaking, he raised his watch to time, and LaVar said quickly: "The method is very simple, that is to choose my son Lonzo Ball as the starting point guard of the Lakers. Lonzo has excellent defensive strength and organizational ability is not inferior to the sky." Yang, can free Tianyang from the burden of organization, concentrate on completing scoring tasks, and cooperate with Lonzo to defend outside, and can easily lock up Curry and Thompson, and the Lakers will win every game against the Warriors in the future."

Wharton originally planned to say yes after listening to it, and then buried himself in the store and ignored it.

That thought, but what Laval said made him laugh. "Your son is so good, naturally he should enter the first round, but you know, we don't have a first-round pick this year, so we can't pick your son."

"It doesn't matter. With Kupchak's ability, he can definitely get a draft pick in the summer, even at the end of the first round. My son is destined to belong to the Lakers and will lead the Lakers to rebuild their glory." LaVar hesitated.

The entire Lakers team laughed, and Walton pointed to Tianyang, "This guy has led us to rebuild our glory. I suggest your son go to the Clippers next door and try."

The whole team laughed again, but Laval didn't care, "Tianyang can cooperate with my son to form a double shot in the backcourt without conflict. His assist ability can help a speedy insider like Randall to a higher level. Alas ? Why didn't you see Randall, why didn't you come out with you?"

Wharton's face changed, "This is not something you should care about."

After finishing speaking, he signaled the whole team to enter the store and ignored Laval.

……

The manager on duty signaled the staff in the store to put together the scattered dining tables so that the entire Lakers team could sit together. Then he personally delivered the menu and recorded what the entire Lakers team wanted to eat.

As for the stewed meat, a group of guys who can only think of BBQ (barbecue) when talking about large pieces of meat have no idea, looking at the menu for a while, they have to order by Tianyang.

Tianyang took a closer look, first ordered the cowboy bone and veal that were stewed slowly for 8 hours, and then ordered a large plate of pulled pork and American beer drunk chicken, each of which was 5 servings, and each person added one more Refreshing salad.

While waiting for the food to be served, the entire Lakers team started chatting, starting with Oakland, then talking about the famous basketball school UCLA, and finally talking about LaVar.

Nick Young put down his phone and said with a smile: "Coach, that guy just now wasn't completely bragging. His son Lonzo Ball is really good in defense and organization, but his shooting is too poor. In the latest draft predictions, he is ranked in the top five. .”

Hearing this, Wharton was a little surprised, "Then I didn't mean to be perfunctory to him, we really couldn't get the top 5 draft picks, and besides, he looks awesome and thinks his son is better than Tianyang." It's even more powerful, isn't it nonsense?"

The Lakers laughed out loud, but Nick Young's face suddenly changed, "No, that guy is talking nonsense on Twitter, and now it has 1 retweets."

"What did he say?" Wharton asked.

"Randall's injury is serious, he didn't have dinner with the whole team, and he couldn't play in G2 of the Western Conference Finals!" Nick Young read aloud according to Twitter, "Speaking of this, how is Randall's situation, coach?"

The Lakers generals also turned their heads to look at Wharton, all showing curious eyes.

Wharton pondered for a while, and finally said: "He has a slight strain on his right shoulder, and has returned to Los Angeles for examination. The specific situation will not be confirmed until further results."

Although Wharton's tone was still relaxed, Tianyang knew that the meal might not taste good.
