Log in to the strong team of Turkish Super League, Li Yueru continues to upgrade, plays WNBA and plays the UEFA Champions League

Türkiye Women's Basketball Super League team Mersin recently announced the 15-man roster for the 2025-26 season, and the name of the main center of the Chinese women's basketball team Li Yueru is on the list.

This is the fourth team of the inside player who is affectionately called "Xiaobao" by fans. She has played for Besiktas, Bodrum and Galatasaray, and now she will start a new journey in the Melsin jersey.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yueru is still playing for the WNBA Dallas Flying Wings and has experienced a big explosion in the enthusiastic game against Indiana yesterday. He came on the bench and scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, setting a new record for a single-game score in his WNBA career.

So far this season, she has played a total of 21 games for the Seattle Storm and Dallas Wings, averaging 7.6 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, and her condition has steadily improved.

Joining Mersing means that Li Yueru will step into the Women's Basketball Champions League for the first time. She has only participated in the European Women's Cup in the second-level European Championship and led the team to the finals.

Now, she will face the top women's basketball club in Europe and compete with many WNBA-level stars, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge and opportunity for her growth.

For the Chinese women's basketball team, Li Yueru's continuous progress is undoubtedly a great benefit. As one of the core members of the national team's interior, her experience in high-intensity leagues will further enhance her strength and lay a solid foundation for future international competitions.

For the Mersing team, Li Yueru's joining will greatly enhance the team's interior depth, especially her dominance at the basket and increasingly mature outside shooting ability, which is expected to help the team achieve higher honors in the new season.

From WCBA to WNBA, and then to the top European leagues, Li Yueru's basketball territory continues to expand. The 25-year-old Chinese women's basketball center is proving with actions that Chinese players are fully capable of shining on the world's highest-level stage.

The Turkish Premier League and Women's Basketball Champions League are about to begin. Let's wait and see whether Li Yueru can continue to be in good shape in Melsin and shine on a higher stage.
