In this game, Li Yueru came on as a substitute for 24 minutes, shot 2 of 5 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointer and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 11 points and 9 rebounds (including 5 frontcourt rebounds), 3 assists and 1 steal. This is also his first double-digit game in Fei Wing. Li Yueru's outstanding performance ultimately helped the team defeat the Suns 86-83.

After Li Yueru joining, Feiyi has won two consecutive games. In the game against Valkyrie on June 18, Li Yueru came on as a substitute for 13 minutes, made 1 of 3 shots and scored 2 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, helping the team defeat the Valkyrie of Golden State 80-71. It is worth mentioning that Feiyi has played 14 games this season. Before Li Yueru joined, Feiyi only achieved a record of 1 win and 11 losses, with a winning rate of 9%. After Li Yueru joined the franchise, Feiyi's record of 3 win and 11 losses, with a winning rate of 21.4%.

After defeating the Suns, Flying Wings coach Cochrans also highly praised Li Yueru's performance: "I am very impressed by her performance. On the defensive end, she has the ability to move all the game; for example, she can still perform in mistakes when the team is not so perfect; then her defensive execution, we asked her to withstand the opponent's attack point, she is extremely aggressive in defense, which also won her respect.

And on the offensive end, she is also a good tandemist and coverer , she also hit a key three-pointer today, she is a great pitcher. I am proud of her efforts and attitude towards the game. "

Although Li Yueru is still a substitute at Fei Wing, her playing time has increased significantly in the two games. She made 13 minutes against Valkyrie and 24 minutes against the Suns. Such playing time is in sharp contrast to her situation in her old club Seattle Storm. This season, Li Yueru played 9 games for the Storm, and averaged only 9.1 minutes of playing time per game.

The inside strength of Fei Wings is weak this season. In addition to Li Yueru, there are two regular centers, McCowan and Sigrist, in the team, but the two are average, and they can only contribute 5.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 6.7 points and 3.7 rebounds per game. As Li Yueru gradually integrates into the new environment, she will rely on her stable performance to improve her rotational status and gain more playing time, and even have a great chance to compete for the starting center position in some games.
