December 4, 2017
Another full Monday of games included the most anticipated regular season game even though both teams had suffered their first losses. It was the same storyline as most of the season so far as Shao Ting and Beijing had greater balance while Breanna Stewart led Shanghai and it was depth winning out 77-70. Yelena Leuchanka returned at the right time for Sichuan as she teamed up with Zhao Xuetong to help Sichuan come back and beat Shaanxi, which was led by Morgan Tuck yet again. Shanxi rolled past Xinjiang 102-79 as Jonquel Jones’s usual outstanding performance was supplemented by Wu Di. An unexpected all-domestic battle saw Xu Chenyan and Jin Weina team up to lead Jiangsu past Yang Hengyu and Shandong 72-55. Li Yueru turned in her most impressive display of the season and got some help from Amber Harris in Guangdong’s 91-75 win over Li Meng and Shenyang. Natasha Howard fueled Zhejiang past Liaoning 91-77. Bayi was happy to be at full strength as Ji Yanyan was close to getting Heilongjiang the win before Sun Mengran and company prevailed 94-91 in overtime.
