On August 5th, Beijing time, the WNBA regular season continued to be fierce. Among them, the Washington Mystics defeated the Los Angeles Sparks 79-77 at home, ending their three-game losing streak. Chinese player Li Meng came off the bench for 19 minutes. She made 4 of 8 shots and scored in double figures again after more than a month. She contributed 10 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists. She also had the highest plus-minus value among substitute players.
The 3-game losing streak of the Mystics has dropped to the seventh place in the league. After a 4-day break, they will return to their home court against the Sparks, who are ranked ninth in the league. This is a great opportunity for the Mystics to stop their decline.
After the game started, the Mystics took firm control of the situation. Li Meng also came off the bench with 4 minutes left in the first quarter. As soon as she came on the field, she forced a 2+1 on the inside. Compared with the past when he mainly attacked three-pointers from the outside, Li Meng significantly strengthened his offense at the basket. In the first half, she played 11 minutes and made 3 of 4 shots. Except for one missed three-pointer, she completed all three inside offenses, contributing 7 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist.
In the third quarter, Li Meng didn’t score, but she assisted her teammates to eat cakes. Entering the fourth quarter, when the Sparks in the away game once narrowed the point difference to 5 points, Li Meng hit her first three-pointer from the outside. She also scored again after more than a month double.
It was under Li Meng’s fire support that the Mystics started the fourth quarter with a 11-6 spurt, re-extending their lead to 10 points. Unfortunately, after Li Meng was replaced, the Mystery Team’s offense was completely paralyzed, and the Sparks once narrowed the point difference to 2 points. Fortunately, the Sparks made a fatal mistake in the last 60 seconds, and the Mysterious ended their three-game losing streak 79-77.
