NBA: Starting with James Harden

After extra practice,

Li Zhen returned home. He kept thinking about how to help the team win Game 3.

Nowitzki's injury on the court had a big impact.

Unlike Kobe, Nowitzki relied more on shooting to intimidate his opponents. If his touch was difficult to recover, the game would be quite difficult.

Li Zhen entered the system store

"Purchase【Peak State (Advanced)】"

"Ding, purchase successful, 20 attribute points consumed."

Seeing that the attribute points were reduced by 20 points at once, Li Zhen felt a little distressed.

This is also the reason why Li Zhen rarely uses these system items.

They are too expensive.

The attribute points earned from playing a Western Conference Finals are the most that can be earned.

Long-term consumption of these items will also affect the improvement of strength, but it is acceptable to waste them occasionally.

The current situation is special, and Li Zhen has no choice but to feel the pain.

This peak state is different from Harden's previous peak state. This is Li Zhen's own peak state.

That is to adjust the good state of two or three games in ten games.

Marion is absent and Nowitzki is injured. Li Zhen can only try his best to fight with all his strength........................

The Western Conference Finals were fierce, while the Eastern Conference Finals were one-sided.

The Magic did not pose much threat to the Celtics. The Celtics were already leading 2-0, which meant that the Celtics had a huge advantage in the road to the Finals.

Pierce even said that they were ready for the Finals, and then they teased the Lakers, asking them to be careful and not to capsize, as they were waiting for the Lakers to avenge the 2008 vengeance.

The Lakers had no time to pay attention to Pierce's remarks. Although they won Game 2, the situation was still not good.

The Lakers lost a game at home, which meant that their home advantage went to the Mavericks.

If they cannot overcome Game 3 and Game 4, they will become extremely passive.

In the comments from the outside world, although the Mavericks won a game away from home, they were still optimistic that the Lakers could beat the Mavericks and win the Western Conference championship.

The big win in Game 2 gave the Lakers supporters great confidence.

On the Mavericks side, Carlisle issued a gag order to all staff and players who knew about Nowitzki's injury. In terms of tactical arrangements, Carlisle emphasized the"single-player tactics" with Li Zhen as the tactical core. The

Mavericks have many veterans, and many of them already knew about Nowitzki's injury, but they didn't say anything. Everyone knew it tacitly!

In Game 3, the only core player for the Mavericks was Li Zhen.

Pre-match press conference hall

"Coach, there are rumors that Nowitzki will not play due to a wrist injury, and Marion will not return in this game. Do you think the Mavericks will be affected by this?"A reporter asked.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Although Carlisle issued a gag order, some news still got out. These media have almost infiltrated the NBA. There are few things that the teams don't know.

Carlisle is naturally aware of such things. His gag order is just to make this matter look uncertain. After all, the whistleblower dare not come forward to prove it.

Without the solid evidence, Carlisle can also say that Kobe, Gasol and Bynum are injured.

Carlisle smiled and said in a half-joking way:"I don't know where you got the news from. I tell you, you are wrong. Dirk is fine and he will play. Of course, I hope the Lakers think he will not play, but that is not the fact."

After saying that, Carlisle turned around and left the interview hall.

May 5th.

Evening.

Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals is about to start at the Airline Center.

It is the end of May, and Dallas is about to enter summer, which means that the finals are getting closer. As long as the Mavericks overcome the Lakers, they will return to the highest hall of basketball!

All this is worthy of the enthusiasm of Dallas fans.

There has been a traffic jam around the Airline Center, and Li Zhen was almost stuck in the road.

The outside of the Airline Center is still full of fans.

However, because the opponent is the Lakers, there are also many die-hard fans wearing purple and gold jerseys among them.

Lakers fans are not just in Los Angeles, they are everywhere, which is a situation that the Mavericks don't see when they play against the Suns and Spurs fans.

After the players warmed up, they put on their equipment again in the locker room....

The commentators are also frantically hyping up this game.

"Hey Charles, did you notice that Dirk didn't shoot when he was warming up?.."Kenny Smith laughed.

There are many rumors about Nowitzki's wrist injury, but it has never been confirmed.

"Yes, I noticed it too, this guy seems to have been chatting with his teammates on the sidelines."Barkley said.

The commentators noticed this situation, and so did the Lakers coaching staff.

Jackson did not adjust any tactics because of this, instead he thought Carlisle might have cheated.

The playoffs are not just a competition on the court, there are many competitions off the court, just like he would keep spreading the news that Kobe is seriously injured and may not play at any time, but in fact, do opponents dare to let Kobe go? Just defend however you should.

Even if Nowitzki is injured, who on the Lakers dares to let him shoot?

Carlisle in the locker room finally emphasized the tactics:"Today all tactics will revolve around Lee, and Dirk will be on the court as a distraction......."

Carlisle has almost made it clear to the players that Dirk is playing with an injury, and only Li Zhen can be relied on today.

"The Lakers won the last game too easily, and the Mavericks had almost no resistance. Nowitzki and Li Zhen both played the worst game in the playoffs. This time, both teams rested for two days and returned to their home court. Hopefully, their condition will improve."As Barkley spoke, the camera also took a close-up of Li Zhen and Nowitzki.

Back at the Airline Center, these two are still the key to the Mavericks' victory.

The game is about to start.

Li Zhen and Kobe looked at each other. Since the start of the Western Conference Finals, the two have not had any communication except trash talk!

Now they are enemies!!

Bynum was also very excited to see Nowitzki.

Before the game, the Zen Master focused on strengthening the offensive proportion of the inside tactics, especially the little shark. The Zen Master encouraged the little shark to attack Nowitzki.

Whether Nowitzki is injured or not, it is necessary to cause him consumption.

In the last game, Bynum easily scored 22 points and 15 rebounds, which made the Mavericks feel that the inside line is weak and vulnerable. He hopes that he can continue to play like this today.
