At 4 AM Beijing time on July 28, the Dallas Wings will face the Las Vegas Aces at home again. In their previous two encounters this season, the Wings lost to the Aces. Chinese player Li Yueru will strive to bounce back after scoring only 4 points and grabbing 2 rebounds against the Golden State Warriors. Over the next six days, the Wings will play four consecutive home games; can rookie Pei Qi lead the team to good results?

In the 13 games since joining the Wings, Li Yueru has averaged 8.5 points and 7.0 rebounds per game, including a career-high 15 rebounds in the game against the Dream on June 25.

In her previous nine games with the Storm, Li averaged only 2.8 points and 1.6 rebounds, with no double-digit scoring or rebounding performances.

In the last game against the Warriors, Li Yueru played only 13 minutes and 28 seconds, marking the second-lowest playing time of her career with the Wings, just above her debut. She shot 1 for 4, all from three-point range. Li faced the Aces once since joining the Wings, scoring 10 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, and providing 3 assists in that game.

This will be the Wings' third matchup against the Aces this season, having lost the previous two encounters by a margin of 4 points each time. Pei Qi is averaging 18.1 points, 5.6 assists, and 1.8 steals this season, making her the only player in the WNBA currently ranked in the top ten for scoring (9th), assists (8th), and steals (4th).

The Wings will face a busy schedule ahead. Starting with this game against the Aces, they will play four games in six days, all at home, against the Aces, Liberty, Dream, and Fever.
