After winning the season openers at home, Washington Mystics will visit the new -looking Connecticut Sun for this team’s season -opener in UNCASVİLLE afternoon.
Both teams have completely missed the Mystics Playoffs since last season, while the league semi -finals have undergone a significant change when it fell to Minnesota Lynx.
The Washington (1-0) was rebuilt around the trio of the first round of draft elections.
Although the point keeper Georgia Amoore went out with ACL injury, the other two best choice was released on Friday’s 94-90 victory against Atlanta Dream.
The third general election Sonia Citron scored 19 points in an efficient performance and attracted 7 to 7 from the field.
The fourth election Kiki Iriafen added 14 points and four rebounds to Washington, which gave 53 points in the second half.
Mystics coach Sydney Johnson star rookies, “It is very clear to be better and explains very much to his teammates.” He said. “Usually, when you give yourself this way, you’ll come back too much. We’ve seen tonight and hopefully we’ll see more.”
Experienced Brittney Sykes added 22 points and five assists.
Connecticut opens with a reconstructed staff in 28-12 season last year. The Sun separated the roads with five of six double -digit scorers a season ago, and the only one returned from this group, Marina Mabrey (14.9 points per game).
Experienced Tina Charles (14.9 points per game with Atlanta last year 9.6 rebounds) is one of the familiar senior faces.
Connecticut has its own extraordinary rookie duo, but the seventh general draft election aneesah Morrow and the eighth election Saniya rivers are listed as play -time decisions. Morrow returned from the knee injury, Rivers missed the game before the last two seasons after his mother’s last death.
Not just rookie players who make a new start with the sun. New Connecticut Head Coach Rachid Meziane spent his career in his own country in France.
“The transition was very good, because there are many good people around me who helped me to be adjusted.” He said. “I know it’s a big challenge for me … but I’m ready to face the challenge.”
