At 6 a.m. Beijing time on May 26, the Seattle Storm played at home against the Las Vegas Aces. Can Li Yueru, who has scored zero in two consecutive games, usher in a rebound? Storm veteran Lloyd returned to Seattle for the first time since being traded to play against his former club.
Both teams have a record of 2 wins and 1 loss. The Storm beat Mercury 77-70 in their last game, and the Aces narrowly beat Mystics 75-72 in their last game. Chinese player Li Yueru is not in good form and has not scored in two consecutive games. In the battle against the flying wings, Li Yueru played 12 minutes, shot 0 of 5, only got 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and had a plus/minus of -6. In the last game against the Mercury, Li Yueru only played 7 minutes, did not shoot, only got 1 steal, had 3 turnovers, and had a plus/minus of +11.
In the three games of the opening season, Li Yueru played less and less playing time, playing 22 minutes in the first game, 12 minutes in the second game, and only 7 minutes in the third game. She needs to bounce back to get more chances.
Another highlight of the game was Lloyd's return to Seattle against his old club. In 2015, Lloyd was drafted by the Storm as the top pick, and in January of this year, in a three-way deal, Lloyd was sent to the Aces. Li Yueru also went from spark to storm in this deal.
Speaking about the Storm, Lloyd said, "I'm just focused on making sure we play team basketball well, enjoy the game, enjoy the time with our teammates. But of course I'm ready to go back there, meet the fans I've known for a long time, a couple of old team-mates, and have a good game. ”
