On January 2, 2022, the WCBA League Finals ushered in the second matchup. Since this season's WCBA Finals are played in a three-game, two-win format, this game may produce this season's championship. In the first finals, the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team defeated the Sichuan women's basketball team to take the lead, so the Sichuan women's basketball team can be described as a backwater battle.
Since the start of the game, the scores of the two teams that are close in strength have been very close. It was not until 2 minutes left in the first quarter that Han Xu scored 2 points on the inside line and Li Meng hit a three-point shot from the outside line, and the Sichuan women's basketball team gained a 6-point lead. However, Yang Liwei and Shen Yi of the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team scored consecutive points, and the point difference once again returned to 2 points. In the first quarter, the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team was 24-26 Sichuan women's basketball team. At the beginning of the second quarter, the Sichuan women's basketball team took the lead and played a small attack wave of 7-2, surpassing the score. Subsequently, the Sichuan women's basketball team quickly adjusted and regained the initiative. After half-time, the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team was 42-47 Sichuan women's basketball team.
Entering the second half, the Sichuan women's basketball team played a wave of 5-0 attacks, widening the point difference to 10 points, which is also the biggest point difference in this game. Yang Liwei stopped hitting urgently, Zhang Ru hit backwards, and the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team regained stability. After that, Yang Liwei, Shen Yi and Li Yueru hit consecutive hits, and the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team chased the point difference to 1 point. Before the end of the third quarter, Li Mengyuan shot a shot, Sichuan 61-55 Inner Mongolia. In the final quarter, Yang Liwei hit a three-pointer as soon as he came up, and then Shen Yi made a layup, and the point difference was chased to 1 point. After that, Yang Liwei hit consecutive outside lines, Li Yueruqiang played fouls on the inside line, and Inner Mongolia successfully equalized. When the two teams were deadlocked, Huang Sijing hit a key three-pointer from the outside to help Inner Mongolia occupy a favorable situation. Before the final game, Li Meng hit three points, and the point difference was chased to 1 point, but the subsequent Sichuan women's basketball foul tactics failed to succeed. In the end, Inner Mongolia defeated the Sichuan women's basketball team 87-86 to win the overall championship of this season's WCBA League.
In this game, Yang Liwei blasted down 30 points, 6 boards and 6 assists, Li Yueru scored 17 points, 13 boards and 2 assists, and Huang Sijing, although only 7 points, hit a valuable three-pointer. It can be said that the three cores of the Guangdong women's basketball team are still the key to the two consecutive championships of the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team. It can even be said that the Guangdong women's basketball team sent two championships to the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team. Whether in the Guangdong women's basketball team or in the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team, Li Yueru, Yang Liwei and Huang Sijing are irreplaceable cores, and the team with them as the core has won the championship three times. I hope they will continue to cheer next season!
