Nowitzki and Li Zhen's slump was also criticized by fans and the media.

Nowitzki made 3 of 16 shots, and Zhen made 5 of 19 shots. Both of them turned into cancer.

After the game, Nowitzki frequently covered his wrist, as if he was enduring great pain. His wrist supported himself when he landed once... He thought it was okay, but it had a certain impact.

The next day. In the head coach's office.

The team doctor reported the physical condition of the whole team to Carlisle.

"Fuck, he actually kept it a secret."Carlisle was very angry when he saw the report.

Nowitzki had a wrist injury, but he chose to endure it.

Although these injuries did not prevent him from playing, they were enough to affect his condition.

This is also an important reason for Nowitzki's slump in G2.

"My suggestion is to let him rest for three days!"Team doctor Cook pushed his glasses and said.

The team doctor has his professional opinion, and Carlisle has his own ideas.

Nowitzki's three-day rest means he will miss Game 3. Even if it is their home court, the Mavericks will not have a chance to beat the Lakers.

""What are your opinions?" Carlisle asked the assistant coach team.

The assistant coaches looked at each other. They obviously did not dare to give up G3 easily.

Without Nowitzki, how can the Mavericks play?

Carlisle rubbed his temples. It was too difficult to face such a choice.

On the training ground.

Nowitzki was still doing the same training as his teammates.

From the outside, you could not tell that he was slightly injured.

The team doctors looked at Nowitzki's determined eyes and knew how tenacious this guy's mental quality was.

"Dirk, are you okay?"Li Zhen was quite attentive. He noticed Nowitzki's frequent wrist protection, which he did frequently in the past two days.

"It's okay. Nowitzki smiled at Li Zhen.

"Dirk, come here for a moment." Just when Li Zhen wanted to continue asking, Carlisle's voice rang out.

When Nowitzki saw the report in Carlisle's hand, he knew that his wrist injury could no longer be concealed.

Nowitzki came to Carlisle's office, and Carlisle immediately said,"You should rest for three days, don't do any training, and recover your wrist."

"No, I feel good." Nowitzki is not ready to compromise with Carlisle

"No, no, you are in a bad condition now, I hope you can take a break for one game."Carlisle confronted Nowitzki.

Usually Carlisle rarely speaks so strongly to Nowitzki.

"Coach, after 2006, I have been returning to the finals all the time to give it another try. Now I am just one step away. No matter what, I will not rest. As long as I can move, I will go.

Carlisle knows Nowitzki for the past few years.

The 2006 finals were reversed, and then the next year they were eliminated in the first round.....Nowitzki is known as a softie in the NBA.

He needs to prove himself!

"I don't want to sit on the bench and watch my teammates fight on the court in the Western Conference Finals. I know they need me to be on the court, even if I don't shoot!"

Carlisle looked at the somewhat excited Nowitzki, and his attitude softened.

"Then, I hope you can reduce your shooting, pass the ball to your teammates as much as possible, and it is best not to let your opponents see that your wrist is injured."Carlisle sighed and said

"OK, I will help them. Lee and Jason can take on the responsibility of scoring for the team. I always believe in them."Nowitzki said excitedly.

As long as he can play, he doesn't need to shoot.

"I just hope you don't get hurt again and avoid physical confrontations as much as possible."

"If we lose the series, then I am really injured."

Nowitzki also has his own stubbornness.

The Lakers didn't know about Nowitzki's wrist injury, and they were still making various preparations against Nowitzki.

Even if they knew, they didn't dare to let Nowitzki go. As Nowitzki said, as long as he is on the court, the opponent must guard him, even if he doesn't shoot!

Because he is the best power forward in NBA history!!

What's more, Nowitzki is not the only one who is fighting with injuries.

Kobe's injury may be more serious than Nowitzki's, but Kobe's teammates and himself have already gotten used to it.

On the training ground.

Carlisle paid more attention to Li Zhen.

If Nowitzki is injured, then Then Li Zhen will have to take on more responsibilities.

Carlisle thought of the madness of Li Zhen when Novak Djokovic was absent due to injury during the regular season.

Should he try to play alone? Let him go on offense?

Li Zhen's offensive skills are extreme.

Why extreme?

Kobe is comprehensive, with all kinds of postures and techniques.

Li Zhen prefers to face the basket, and his face-to-basket skills are even better than Kobe.

Step back and breakthrough are the league's signature moves, which are extremely sharp.

Whether on the training ground or in the game, Li Zhen's offensive efficiency is extremely high.

But if his touch is not good, the team will be miserable, just like in G2, Li Zhen's hit rate is very touching, and he still can't make it no matter how he throws it......

Carlisle was in a dilemma about whether to let Li Zhen go on the offensive.

The training was dismissed at 5 pm. After the training, Carlisle studied the tactical ideas in the office.

He did not come out of the office until 8 pm.

Passing by the training ground, Carlisle saw a familiar figure.

"Li, have you been practicing more?" Carlisle asked

"Well, my shooting was not very accurate in the last game. I think it was because I didn’t adjust the rhythm right. I want to try to get it back."Li Zhen said.

Li Zhen is very stable most of the time. He will have two or three out of ten games and he will be down in one or two games. The same situation as G2 is when he is down.

The state is related to Li Zhen's mood. The touch and rhythm are very mysterious things. It is there when you say it is there, and it is not there when you say it is not there.

"OK, by the way, tomorrow night, use your singles tactics."Carlisle came over and said to Li Zhen.

This was the final decision Carlisle made after seeing Li Zhen.

He believed in hard-working players!

"Is Dirk okay?"Li Zhen was not surprised by Carlisle's arrangement, but was a little worried. This situation showed that Nowitzki was greatly affected.

"It's a little injury, which will affect his shooting feel, so I told him not to shoot yet, you need to take more responsibility."Carlisle said

"Yes, I know. Li Zhen nodded.

"This matter is confidential, don't tell anyone else."Carlisle warned.

Li Zhen nodded firmly.

The next G3 will depend on him!
