This is the second time that Han Xu has played against Li Yueru in the finals, and the last time, Han Xu was still in the Xinjiang women's basketball team. This season, after Han Xu joined the Sichuan women's basketball team, there are more helpers around, Li Meng's scoring ability is very strong, the Sichuan women's basketball team has won 19 consecutive victories this season to the finals, Han Xu is very confident to win the championship this time, defeat Li Yueru, Han Xu is the first center of the Chinese women's basketball team.
Li Yueru once again taught the young Han Xu a lesson, Han Xu played 33 minutes, scored 11 points and 13 rebounds, and lost all the data to Li Yueru.

In the national team, Li Yueru will also occupy the starting center position for a period of time, and Han Xu still has to grow. In the past two years, Han Xu's growth is still obvious to all, she was selected for the national team, followed the Chinese women's basketball team to compete in the Olympic Games and the Asian Cup, she was still able to perfectly play the role of substitute center when Li Yueru was resting.

Li Yueru played for 40 minutes, which is a challenge for physical fitness, if the second game can win the series is the best, if the Sichuan women's basketball team plays better, the Inner Mongolia women's basketball team should consider letting Li Yueru get off the field early to rest and prepare for the third game.
