At 3 a.m. Beijing time on July 1, the WNBA regular season continued, and the Chicago Sky hosted the Minnesota Bobcats. The Bobcats lost to the Flying Wings in the last game, and whether they can rebound strongly in this game is a big suspense in the game.
The Bobcats have had a strong overall season, with a 13-4 record in the West and a previous win over the Liberty to win the President's Cup. The Bobcats are averaging 87.8 points per game, third in the league, conceding only 75 points per game, second in the league, and Bobcats are averaging 9.7 points per game, which is also the first in the league. The Bobcats have outstanding shooting ability, leading the league in shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage, and three-point shooting percentage.
The core of the Bobcats is Collier, who averages 21.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, and is in the top 10 in the league in all four statistics, making him the league's top forward. McBride is an outside shooter, averaging 15.8 points per game and shooting 45 percent from the field. Alanna Smith is well-rounded, averaging 12.2 points and 5.1 rebounds per game while shooting nearly 5 percent from three-point range. In addition to the three, Williams, Carlton, Juhaas, Hidman, Zandarrasini, plus Miller, who has just returned, the current Bobcats are strong and strong, and there are a lot of people who can play. In this game, Collier was doubtful because of a right wrist injury, which added variables to the game.
The Sky entered a rebuilding period this season, with the departure of core Cooper and the introduction of a number of new players in the team, and the overall performance was mediocre, ranking 8th in the league with a 6-10 record. The Sky's offense is average, averaging only 80.1 points per game, ranking 5th from the bottom in the league, and the defense is not bad, conceding 81.8 points per game, ranking 6th in the league. The last game Sky lost at home to the aces.
The Sky's top scorer is Marbury, but he averages only 14.9 points per game, as well as 5.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists, Carter averages 14.7 points per game, rookie Reese averages 13.5 points and 11.1 rebounds per game, another rookie Cardoso has 8.9 points and 7.3 rebounds, and Williams and Evans also average more than 9 points per game, but Williams has missed many consecutive games due to injury and is still unable to play in this game.
The two teams have met once in the preseason this season, when the Bobcats won 92-81. Playing again, the Bobcats, who had just lost their last game, are desperate for a win to boost their morale, and they have never lost in a row this season, so they will definitely give it their all.
