During this period of time, Chen Yu is also constantly growing and experiencing more types of competitions.

His points per game and assists per game have dropped, after all, this thing can't stay that high all the time.

But even so, he is still the league's leading scorer and assists leader, and he is still the most spectacular player in the league.

It's just that because other teams are becoming more and more shrewd and targeted, many things are also changing for Chen Yu.

January 16th.

It was the day when the Lakers played the Spurs.

This game is still more important, because during this time, Chen Yu's ranking on the All-Star voting list has fallen to fifth, although the votes are still high, but Chen Yu also knows that it has something to do with the recent situation of the Lakers.

After all, the all-star is still a goal that he must complete, so Chen Yu still has to consider various possibilities in this regard.

Moreover, the Lakers are now ranked fourth in the Western Conference, but if they lose this game, they will become fifth, which will also fall out of the top half.

While it's great for a team like the Lakers to finish fifth, it's still not Chen's goal.

After all, he has recently dropped to fourth place in the official MVP rankings, and it is likely that he will fall out of the top five next.

But Chen Yu's phased tasks require him to reach the top five.

This is still very difficult for Chen Yu, after all, the team's current record is fourth in the West and seventh in the league, and it is very likely that they will encounter some strong opponents next, which means that their record still has room to decline.

Since the record has dropped so much, he is still in the top three of the MVP rankings, which is of course difficult to convince the public.

Therefore, Chen Yu also knows that many things have reached a node, and if they are not handled well, what will happen next will be unsatisfactory.

This game against Spurs is also particularly important.

It was an away game, and Chen Yu was greeted by Nash after he arrived at San Antonio.

Nash got together with the Lakers and reached an agreement, giving up part of his salary to negotiate a buyout with the Lakers, and then he went to the Spurs and joined the Spurs on a base salary contract.

After all, at Nash's level, coupled with his state of mind, in fact, many things are a bit overlooked, money is not particularly important, the most important thing is a championship.

Now if you want to win the championship, the safest choice is of course the Miami Heat, but for various reasons Nash did not succeed, but joined the Spurs.

The Spurs are also the favorites right now, and many of them are also friends with Nash, and they have played against each other too many times in their careers, and they are familiar with each other.

Nash just joined the Spurs and became a piece of their championship puzzle.

Chen Yu hadn't seen Nash for a while, and when Nash stood in front of him, he was really happy.

Speaking of which, Nash has no way to stay with the Lakers, and the biggest original intention is Chen Yu, because the Lakers want to correct Chen Yu, so Nash has to leave.

But this kind of thing is not necessarily a good thing for Nash, anyway, now Nash also has a hope of competing for the championship, which is much better than staying alive on the Lakers' side.

"I'll take you to get something to eat." Nash said to Chen Yu: "Today I have a treat and take you to eat soul dishes!" ”

"Soul dishes?" Chen Yu didn't know about this thing, he used to come to any city to play, basically just a bit of a sightseeing, he wouldn't stay too long, and he wouldn't try to understand the city's food culture and other things.

Therefore, Chen Yu is really a little unfamiliar with this soul dish.

Nash saw Chen's confusion and explained directly: "The San Antonio coffee shop not only sells coffee, but also serves dishes cooked by chefs. There is no set recipe for these dishes, they are all made by the chef based on the inspiration of the moment. That's why these dishes are called soul dishes! ”

Chen Yu suddenly realized, but soon there was some hesitation.

Nash saw Chen Yu's hesitation, so he said to him, "Don't worry, these won't go against your nutrition!" ”

When Nash was on the Lakers, Chen Yu really learned a lot of things from him, and these things also made Chen Yu stronger and stronger, and he also knew Chen Yu very deeply, so he knew at once that Chen Yu was worried that these things would damage his current body.

Chen Yu nodded after hearing Nash's words: "Okay!" Thank you then! ”

Nash smiled, noncommittal.

Facts have proved that this soul dish is okay, although Chen Yu used to label himself as not liking to eat Western food, but in fact, these Western foods are much better than the foods that Chen Yu eats every day, which are almost boiled meat and the like.

After all, self-discipline is a corresponding word that appears because self-indulgence is very cool, so self-discipline is still not easy. What Chen Yu eats, ordinary life makes people feel like an ascetic.

There is no way to do this, Chen Yu must do his best to make himself stronger and stronger.

The meal was not bad, and the city of San Antonio was chosen by UNESCO as a City of Gastronomy in its Creative Cities Network. San Antonio is the second U.S. city to receive this designation, and the first in Texas, and it's a place of its kind that doesn't live up to its name.

The two chatted casually, talking about the internal gossip of the Lakers and Spurs, as well as some other gossip in the NBA, and the two had a tacit understanding that they did not mention Nash's departure from the Lakers.

After that, the game of the Lakers playing the Spurs officially began!

As soon as the game began, Chen Yu found that the Spurs could be said to be the culmination of these teams that have limited themselves recently!

They directly use Leonard to defend themselves directly, one-on-one single defense, but once Chen Yu is about to enter the three-point line, Danny Green will come over to cover it!

This kind of defense is really terrible!

Two defensive giants who are two meters tall and are well-known in the league are sandwiched by a one-meter-9 Chen Yu.

And the Spurs also have their own set of methods for cutting Chen Yu's defensive line, which makes Chen Yu play particularly difficult.

Chen Yu played very hard, and the Lakers team was naturally very difficult, and by the end of the first quarter of the game, the score of the two sides was 26-16, and Chen Yu had 3 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, which had been limited to the extreme!

In this game, it seems that it is a little more auspicious!

Chen Yu also felt the Spurs' defensive strategy, and he was also thinking hard about a solution in his heart.
