6:52pm, 27 June 2025Basketball

In the WNBA regular season, the Dallas Flying Wings played away and defeated the Connecticut Suns 86-83, ushering in two consecutive victories.

Li Yueru from our Chinese Women's Basketball Team came on as a substitute in this game and played for 24 minutes. This is the longest time she played this season. Especially in the critical fourth quarter, Li Yueru played the whole quarter, hit the attacking end with one shot, and made steadily with four free throws, scoring 6 points, and 4 rebounds, two of which were offensive rebounds. Several times when the Suns were about to chase points, she grabbed rebounds and scored free throws at the basket, and really helped Feiyi hold the victory in her hand.

If you can still form a double tower with Zhang Ziyu in the future, you will be afraid of the US team. If you can develop a defender like Miao Lijie.

After the whole game, Li Yueru made 2 goals with 6 shots. What was surprising was that she scored 2 three-pointers and scored 1. In terms of free throws, she made all six free throws and scored a total of 11 points, which is also the highest score in a single game this season. In addition, she also grabbed 9 rebounds, 5 of which were offensive rebounds, and there were 3 assists and 1 steal, which performed quite comprehensively.

It is recommended that Xiaobao stay in Feiyi if he wants to stay for a long time, and don’t go anywhere. With his own Bole Miller, he has guaranteed his playing time. He will compete more fiercely in a strong team. Once he performs poorly, he will sit on the bench.

In this game, Li Yueru's teammate Page Bux scored the team's highest 21 points and 7 assists, rookie James scored a career high of 17 points, and Nalisa Smith scored 12 points and 7 rebounds. Tina Charles of the Suns scored 26 points and 6 rebounds, while Sheldon and rookie Moreau each scored 10 points.

Flying Wings are currently 3 wins and 11 losses this season, but after Li Yueru joined in late May, the team won all of them in two games. Coaches say that her ability to grab rebounds at the basket and score points at critical moments is exactly what the team lacked before. Now Li Yueru is becoming more and more important in the team. Not only does she have good data, but she also drives the whole team, making everyone more looking forward to her development in the WNBA.
