At 8 a.m. Beijing time on May 28, the WNBA regular season will continue with the Seattle Storm away against the Minnesota Bobcats. China's Li Yueru fell out of the regular rotation in the last game, and she only played the last four minutes, when the Storm had already led by 18 points, and Li Yueru had two points and one rebound. Next, the Storm challenges the Bobcats with the best record in the league (4-0), how much playing time can Li Yueru get?

In the four games since the beginning of the season, the Storm has a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, and Li Yueru has played as a substitute, but her playing time is getting less and less. In the first game of the season, Li Yueru played 22 minutes and contributed 6 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. In the second game, he played 12 minutes, shot 0-of-5, did not score, and contributed 2 rebounds and 1 assist. In the third game, Li Yueru only played 7 minutes, did not shoot, got 1 steal, and made 3 mistakes. In the fourth game, Li Yueru fell out of the rotation and only played 4 minutes of garbage time, scoring 2 points and 1 rebound.

After losing to the Mercury in the opener, the Storm went on a three-game winning streak and beat the Las Vegas Aces by 20 points in their last game. Storm head coach Quinn said the big win showed the team's potential.

"A lot of times, the Aces are the benchmark for the whole season because they run like precision machines and have a lot of firepower in every position," Quinn said, "so to have a win like this at the beginning of the season has helped us grow." It shows us how high we can go against the top teams in the league. ”

The next opponent, the Bobcats, is also strong and has not tasted defeat since the start of the season. The Bobcats will be aiming to take down the storm and complete a five-game winning streak.

In the last game, the Bobcats defeated the Connecticut Sunshine 76-70, and forward Collier played dominantly, playing 38 minutes, shooting 11-of-21, 3-of-4 three-pointers, 8-of-10 free throws, and contributing 33 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. In his first four games, Collier averaged 29.5 points per game and is currently the top scorer in the WNBA. Will the Storm's defensive line be able to stop Collier's powerful offensive?
