This morning, the regular season of the US WNBA League continues, and the Washington Mysterious People, where Li Meng, the core of our Chinese women's basketball team, plays against the Phoenix Mercury.
This WNBA regular season is a historic moment for the Chinese women's basketball team, Chinese women's basketball star Li Meng entered the starting lineup of the Washington Mysterious People, which is the first time Li Meng entered the starting lineup in her WNBA career, and Li Meng also became the first outside player in the history of the Chinese women's basketball team to enter the starting line in the WNBA.
To say that our Chinese women's basketball team landed on the WNBA arena, in fact, it is not few, from the earliest Zheng Haixia, to the later Sui Feifei, Miao Lijie, Shao Ting, the current Chinese women's basketball team has Yang Liwei, Li Meng, Han Xu and Li Yueru four players in the WNBA (Yang Liwei and Li Yueru were cut by their respective teams because of the national team competition, but it is not difficult for them to find a new job in the WNBA), but the players who can play in the WNBA are basically center players, Chinese women's basketball backcourt players to the WNBA, Basically, there are bench substitutes, and many of them still look at the role of the water cooler.
However, against the Phoenix Mercury, Li Meng entered the team's starting lineup, and she showed a good touch in the opening game, hitting a three-point shot with her open hand, directly driving the attack of the mysterious man's team, and with this three-pointer, Li Meng's score in the WNBA also surpassed the 28 points of Chinese women's basketball star Miao Lijie in the WNBA, becoming a Chinese women's basketball outside scorer in the WNBA.
In fact, Li Meng's talent and ability, many fans have no doubt that Li Meng can sit firmly in the main force and even the core of the Washington mysterious man, Li Meng's outside three points are very accurate, and at the same time has the ability to hold the ball to force a breakthrough, Li Meng's body is also very strong, playing without fear of confrontation, and has a strong sense of victory. In the WNBA, Li Meng showed very strong strength in the face of the powerful American women's basketball team, and through his performance in the World Cup, Li Meng has conquered many WNBA teams.
However, as a backcourt player, it is not so easy to actually play in the WNBA, after all, the WNBA small forward position is full of talents, as strong as Chinese women's basketball star Miao Lijie of this level, in the WNBA is difficult to get reused, limited playing time, which also makes Miao Lijie in the WNBA has not proved his ability.
After Li Meng joined the WNBA, he also encountered the same situation, but Li Meng's scoring ability is too strong, even if he first played a limited time, but Li Meng still seized the opportunity, in the limited playing time can always give the opportunity to score, Li Meng's performance quickly conquered the mysterious head coach, did not expect that the regular season did not play a few games, Li Meng entered the starter, the whole game Li Meng played 27 minutes, 4 of 9 three-pointers, cut 14 points + 2 rebounds, playing time, three-point shooting , the score is the highest since Li Meng joined the WNBA.
Although Li Meng will temporarily leave the mysterious man to return to the Chinese women's basketball team after this weekend's game, we have reason to believe that after leading the Chinese women's basketball team to win the Asian Cup, Li Meng, who returns to the WNBA, will become the core player of the team and shine in the WNBA.
