79-89! New York Liberty loses, Storm Double Star 26+20 is too explosive

On June 23, the New York Liberty fought against the Seattle Storm. The New York Liberty lost to the Seattle Storm 79 points to 89 points. This showdown hides many excitement and regrets. Let's review it together.

The two teams opened fire in the first quarter, both scored 22 points, and were in a stalemate. The Seattle Storm took a slight advantage in the second quarter, leading by 1 point 21-20. The third quarter became the key to overtaking in the storm. It had a net difference of 6 points in a single quarter 25-19. Although the libero chased to 18-21 in the last quarter, the "pit" dug in the first three quarters was difficult to fill.

On the key players, on the New York Liberty side, Stewart scored 18 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in 36 minutes, and worked hard on both offense and defense. Unfortunately, his teammates made many mistakes overall (the team made 20 mistakes). Seattle Storm's two stars shone. Ogumik made 17 of 12 shots in 34 minutes and scored 26 points and 7 rebounds efficiently. Dickins made 17 of 6 shots in 35 minutes and scored 20 points and 6 assists. The two worked together to support the attack. Gaby Williams made 10 assists to revitalize the team, allowing the Storm to crush the Liberty (21 times), stealing 13-7 and making 10-20 mistakes, and also became the key puzzle to win.

After the game, fans were in a turmoil. Some joked that "the free people made too many mistakes, this is a 'givea score' competition", and some praised "The Storm's Double Stars are too fierce, Ogumik's efficiency is amazing." When the media interviewed the coach, the New York Liberty coach bluntly stated that "mistakes and third-quarter collapse are the main reasons for losing, and the rhythm needs to be adjusted"; the Seattle Storm coach affirmed the cooperation of the team, "defensive pressure + offensive transmission is in place, and the players' execution is great." The confrontation of opinions highlights the winning and losing of the game.

New York Liberty needs to solve the problem of turnovers (20 times are too fatal) and weakness in the third quarter. Although Stewart is strong, his teammates need to share the pressure; the Seattle Storm can continue the defensive intensity (13 steals) and conduction advantages. If the two stars continue to be efficient, they are expected to hit higher rankings. This showdown is not only a score of 79-89, but also a "touchstone" for the tactics and state of the two teams. When we meet again in the future, whether the libero can adjust and counterattack, and whether the storm can continue its firepower is worth looking forward to!
