On June 25, a preview of the Wings: Can Li Yueru achieve a new scoring high? First overall pick Paige aims for the season's fourth win

At 8 AM Beijing time on June 25, the WNBA regular season will continue with the Dallas Wings hosting the Atlanta Dream. Chinese player Li Yueru will participate in her fourth game with the Wings. In her last match against the Mystics, Li came off the bench for 22 minutes and 27 seconds, shooting 1 for 4 from the field and 4 for 6 from the free-throw line, contributing 6 points and 3 rebounds before fouling out.

In her first three games with the Wings, Li Yueru has averaged 6.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists. She has quickly earned the trust of Wings head coach Kirkland, having played at least 20 minutes in the last two games. So far this season, Li's single-game scoring record is 11 points; will she set a new high against the Dream?

After losing to the Mystics 88-91 in overtime, the Wings will begin a stretch of four consecutive home games. “The starting lineup didn’t perform well against the Mystics,” Kirkland said, “We are still trying to find a truly effective starting lineup. I mention this every night, but our competitive roster depth is what allows us to hang in these games.”

In the closely contested match against the Mystics, first overall pick Paige hit a game-tying three-pointer in the closing moments of regulation and scored the first four points for the Wings in overtime. However, the Mystics took control and ultimately won, ending the Wings' two-game winning streak. Paige surpassed Caitlin Clark to become the fastest player in WNBA history to reach 200 points and 50 assists—accomplishing this in just 11 games.

The Wings currently hold a record of 3 wins and 12 losses, ranking second to last in the league. Paige will strive to lead the team to their fourth win of the season. Currently, Paige leads all rookies in points per game (18.2), assists (5.9), and steals (2.0), while ranking fourth in blocks (0.9) and rebounds (4.6). If she maintains these averages through the end of the season, she will become the first rookie in WNBA history to average at least 15 points, 5 assists, and 2 steals.

The Wings' opponent, the Dream, is in good form, having won 5 of their last 6 games, currently sitting fourth in the league with a record of 10 wins and 4 losses. In their first matchup on May 25, the Dream defeated the Wings at home 83-75. The Dream's leading scorer is Arike Ogunbowale, who has averaged 20.1 points per game this season.
