Spark’s Sun Preview: A Clear Strength Difference as the Sun is Expected to Sweep the Spark; Li Yu’er’s Performance is Worth Paying Attention to

On September 11, the WNBA regular season will see the Sparks face off against the Sun at home.

The two teams just met two days ago, with the Sun defeating the Sparks 79-67 at that time. In that game, the Sparks surprisingly took the lead at one point in the first three quarters. However, in the final quarter, the Sparks suddenly collapsed and were hit by a 24-9 run from the Sun in that quarter, eventually being overturned. In this game, Jackson of the Sparks scored 23 points, Hanbi got 10 points and 7 rebounds. Li Yu’er came off the bench for 21 minutes, scoring 5 points and grabbing 8 rebounds. On the Sun’s side, five players scored in double figures, with Jones scoring 21 points and 9 rebounds, Carrington getting 19 points, Bonner scoring 14 points, Thomas 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists.

The Sparks previously had a record of 7 wins and 28 losses, ranking last in the league. This season, the Sparks’ performance has been very poor. Especially towards the end of the season, the Sparks have completely entered a state of tanking. This season, both their offensive and defensive efficiency rank among the worst in the league. Among the main players, Hanbi averages 17.3 points and 9.4 rebounds per game, Jackson scores 12.8 points, and Sims gets 10.3 points. Chinese player Li Yu’er averages 5 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. Overall, the Sparks have no desire left for this season and have set their sights on the top draft pick.

The Sun previously had a record of 25 wins and 10 losses, ranking third in the league. This season, their outstanding defensive performance has been the key reason for their current high ranking in third place in the league. The Sun averages 79.9 points per game, ranking eighth in the league, but only concedes an average of 74.1 points, ranking first in the league. In terms of players, as many as six players on the team average double-digit points. Bonner averages 15.9 points and 6.3 rebounds, Mulbry 13.7 points, Jones 13.7 points and 5.3 rebounds, Carrington 12.9 points, Thomas 10.6 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 7.7 assists, and Harris 10.4 points.

This match between the Sparks and the Sun sees a huge disparity in strength between the two sides. In the previous three encounters this season, the Sun have all won, and there is hope to complete the sweep this season. In the past ten matches between the two sides, the Sun have also won all of them. Plus, the Sun are still competing with the Lynx for second place, so it is essential for the Sun to take down opponents like the Sparks. For Chinese fans, Li Yu’er’s performance in this game may be the biggest point of interest.
