Rookie Angel Reese (22, Chicago) of the WNBA set a new league record by achieving a double-double in 10 consecutive games. Chicago Sky forward Reece scored 10 points and grabbed 16 rebounds in the game against the Minnesota Lynx on the 1st, recording a double-double in 10 consecutive games. Although his team lost 62-70, Reece changed the history of the WNBA. Reece broke the record of nine consecutive games recorded by Candace Parker of the Los Angeles Sparks in 2015, and recorded the longest double-double in a single WNBA season. The longest double-double in history is 12 games Parker recorded between 2015 and 2016. 슬롯사이트 순위
In particular, it is drawing more attention because it is a record set by Rookie, who has only made his professional debut two months ago. Parker, the previous record player, achieved a double-double in nine consecutive games at the age of 29 in his eighth season of the WNBA. Reece, who was selected as the seventh in the rookie draft in April, became the star of the WNBA's new history just 17 games after his professional debut.
It was not easy to set a new record. Amid Minnesota's strong defense, scoring was not easy on the day. Reese, who only scored seven points with one minute left, scored again by scoring a rebound after his failed shot under the basket with 40 seconds left. Reese then garnered a free throw due to opponent's foul with 23 seconds left in the game. However, as he missed the first pitch, he felt a sense of crisis in his double-digit score. Reese made a clean second free throw and finally set a new record.
Chicago Sky manager Teresa Witherspoon said, "I'm really proud of her. I'm sure he'll say team wins are more important. That's him. He always comes out first, trains hard, and plays with confidence. It's really harsh on himself. I'm proud to keep working with him."
Minnesota tied for second place in the league with Kayla McBride scoring 16 points and Nafisa Collier scoring 13 points and 11 rebounds, winning her 14th win (4 losses) of the season.
