Fast break points from Anneli Maley to Han Xu 🙌 NYL-CON | Watch FREE on League Pass with WNBA ID: wnba.onelink.me/yKxu/pdhzbgnv

Yeah…ya just can’t with Han Xu in the low post like that 😂 …mind you, Olivia Nelson-Ododa is 6’5

National team captain Yang Shuyu continues to elevate her game by competing in the Australian league.

It’s kind of unreal—Li Yueru looks stunning, and the photographer absolutely nailed the shot too.

Was this the moment Lan decided Dallas was the move?

“We need her to rim run, pick and pop, and finish inside with her back to the basket,” Fernandez said of Li. “She’s been a pleasure to coach. Unrivaled helped her conditioning, footwork, and rebounding outside her area.”

End of 2nd Quarter: Wings 61, Fever 46 Paige Bueckers: 20 PTS, 2 REB, 3 AST Maddy Siegrist: 12 PTS, 3 REB, 1 BLK Li Yueru: 8 PTS, 3 REB, 1 AST Caitlin Clark: 19 PTS, 1 REB, 2 AST Myisha Hines-Allen: 7 PTS, 4 REB, 1 AST Kelsey Mitchell: 6 PTS

Paige Bueckers is up to 20 points in the first half. Li Yueru found her on a cut. She faked baseline on the catch to setup a jumper going middle.

Solid play from the Wings out of Horns to create space on a quick post touch for Li Yueru. She capitalized and drew a foul but missed the free throw.

Love seeing Li Yueru crash that board out of nowhere—her aggressiveness has clearly improved under Jose Fernandez.

End of 1st Quarter: Fever 29, Wings 25 Maddy Siegrist: 9 PTS, 2 REB Paige Bueckers: 8 PTS, 1 REB, 1 AST Li Yueru: 6 PTS, 2 REB Caitlin Clark: 14 PTS, 2 AST, 1 STL Myisha Hines-Allen: 4 PTS, 2 REB, 1 AST Kelsey Mitchell: 4 PTS

Quick 4 points for Li

Remember the last time Li Yueru played on the floor of @GainbridgeFH for the @DallasWings? 20 points, 4 boards and 2 steals. Yueru is crushing it so far, 4 early points. Wings down only by five (18-13, Fever lead, 2:43 left in Q1. #WNBA x @ThePodiumFinish

Li Yueru staying in the paint >>> Using her size, good footwork and touch on the shot.

Li Yueru scores on a post-up followed by a putback. She later made two free throws and has 6 points early off the bench. Dallas trails Indiana, 18-15, with 2:43 left in the first quarter.

The Perth Lynx duo both have a real shot at WNBA All-Defensive Team this year — Anneli Maley (WNBL rebounding leader) + Han Xu (WNBL Defensive Player of the Year) 🥳 Coach Chris DeMarco watched most of their games overseas, so you know the trust is already there. Wouldn’t be surprised if they’re in the mix for Most Improved Player and Sixth Player of the Year too.

Li Yueru is likely starting tomorrow—great chance to show what fans and coaches want: strong finishes at the rim and aggressive rebounding. That’s her natural game, before she was asked to stretch the floor last season. She needs to bring more edge—crash the boards, don’t just box out. Go play like a dog (guess that’s why she brought her dog to media day) 😉 Finishing through contact for more and-1s will also be key. There’s a lot she can learn from Jess offensively and Lan defensively. This could be her breakout year—or at least a big step forward. Excited for the season.

NCAA programs should take a serious look at Ran Kejia. She has the potential to become a core piece of China’s national team alongside Zhang Ziyu, Han Xu, Li Yueru, and Deng Yuting heading into the LA Olympics and beyond.
