The phenomenon of “mebounds” Angel Reese occupies the front of the stage in Valkyries Win
San Francisco – Angel Reese got stuck in the painting, taking a look at the edge while placing one, two and sometimes three Valkyries on Friday evening at the Chase Center.
When the shot turned from the rim, it was then that the second-year LSU product showed all its scale of skills granted rebound.
She would subtly check an opponent on one game and turn an opposing post on another. Sometimes she just had a direct power by likely faults and grab the loose basketball.
Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase knew how powerful and cunning under the edge, and his team could not stop him.
“She really does it, as she looks up,” said Nakase about her ability to eliminate the boxing player out of position. “It’s not just the location, it’s time for when it is Bonks.”
At the end of the day, the statistics sheet read 17 points and 18 rebounds, with seven of those who came to the offensive glass.
The Valkyries may be left with the victory of 83-78, but the excellence of Reese in the section helped close.
“We had to find other ways to mark this evening, but our team continued to pass it,” said Sky coach Tyler Marsh.
She only caught one of her famous “Mebounds”, which is a nickname of Reeses for having attracted one of her own failures, but has always swallowed up six other offensive plates.
It was just another typically prolific night on the glass for Reese, a polarizing presence whose admirers seemed to be more numerous than his detractors at the Chase Center.
Reese received an exciting ovation during pre-match presentations, an honor generally reserved only for alumni of Stanford and Caitlin Clark among visiting players.
“We generally get a lot of fans in the visiting crowd,” Kia Nurse Kia Nurse said about the popularity of Reese.
She entered Friday evening by leading the league in rebounds (13.1) and with offensive advice (5.1) per game, and had succeeded in 36 rebounds in total in her last two games.
The relentless pursuit of missed shots – opponents, teammates and his family – was one of the rare light points during a seasonal season for the 4-10 sky.
The second-year position also obstacles to double-double WNBA with nine.
Aside from garish rebounds and punctuals, Reese was not perfect.
It was called to a blatant fault on Kayla Thornton when the LSU product struck the Valkyries forward everything while pursuing a loose ball.
Reese also pulled 7 for 16 in a territory of 3 points and bricked on some riders.
However, his most obvious blunder – dirty Tiffany Hayes down only three points with 22 seconds to play and a difference of seven seconds between the game and the shooting chronometer – was not his fault.
“It was all about me, it was my choice to have it for lack,” said Marsh. “It was on me. It was mismanagement of the clock. “
The next Reese match with the Valkyries will be on August 1 in Chicago.
