Phoenix Mercury and Golden State Volcaries receive a vengeance from the elite of the league when they are found in Phoenix on Thursday.
Lastly lost to Minnesota Links 8-0-Hurting mercury fell from 88-65 on Tuesday in Miniapolis on Tuesday. The expansion Valkyries lost 86–75 on Sunday in San Francisco.
Valkyries (2-4) The three-game enter the losing line, the three against 7–0 New York Liberty (twice) and all three against Links. The mercury is 5-3, and their last two disadvantages are links.
Mercury coach Nat Tibbets have so far placed their estimated initial lineup on the floor this season on the floor. Forward Elisa Thomas has missed the last three matches with a calf injury, and the approximate starters guard Kahleh Copper (Knee) and Natasha Mac (Back) have not played at all.
“We are just asking many people to do something that they are not usually used to do,” the tibbets said. “We had three (new) players in rotation. It makes it extremely difficult to keep a well -executed group out. Learning on the kind of flight like everyone.”
Forward Sato Sabli had 15 points and eight rebounds against Links on Tuesday and after being acquired by Dallas, Phoenix led the team with 20.5 scoring average and 8.1 rebound per game in their first season.
Saballi’s 6 -16 shoots typed the team’s aggressive problems without the scorer Thomas of No. 2. Ruki Guard Lexi held a team-high 16 points, but Mercury shot 38.4 percent and made 5-point out of 5.
Valkyries do “balanced attack” at the next level. Veronica Burton, Kayla Thornton and Genel Salon are 12.0 points per game, although Ruki Salon has played a less game. Guard Tiffany Hayes is an average of 10.0.
Salon average a team-high 7.4 rebounds and Burton average 4.2 on an average.
“They are selfless,” said coach Natalie Nakez. “This is the philosophy that we talked about choosing these players. They always play right. So you never know who is going to be a leading scorer because they continuously transfer the ball.”
Burton had 21 points in the loss of Minnesota on Sunday, when Kate Martin had a career-high 14, all in the second quarter. Five separate players have led Vulcaries in scoring, with Burton the only repeater. Four have led to rebellion and assistance.
