Just now, the well-known blogger "I Love Women's Basketball" posted on social media that Shanghai Women's Basketball Team has signed Guerantes, the main player of Puerto Rican Women's Basketball Team. Guerantes averaged 12.3 points and 3.3 rebounds when representing Puerto Rican Women's Basketball Team in the Paris Olympics last summer, which is still very good.
Guerantes scored 20 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists when representing Puerto Rican Women's Basketball Team against Chinese Women's Basketball Team in the Paris Olympics, making her the best performing player in the Puerto Rican team. This time, Guerantes joining forces with Shanghai Women's Basketball Team is bound to bring about certain changes to the current WCBA championship landscape, especially since Shanghai Women's Basketball Team already has two very good foreign players, Cardozo and Bradford, this season.
So far this season, Cardozo has been averaging 19.8 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 3 assists, ranking ninth on the scoring list, while Bradford has been contributing 17.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 3 assists to Shanghai Women's Basketball Team, ranking 18th on the scoring list. Therefore, the two foreign players of Shanghai Women's Basketball Team have performed very well this season. Now that Shanghai Women's Basketball Team has signed another strong player like Guerantes, it seems that they are determined to aim for the championship.
In the 17 games played so far this season, Shanghai Women's Basketball Team has achieved a record of 11 wins and 6 losses, ranking fifth in Group A, only half a game behind Zhejiang Women's Basketball Team, and their points are the same as Inner Mongolia Women's Basketball Team, the runner-up last season. Although Shanghai Women's Basketball Team is currently ranked fifth in Group A, they have defeated Inner Mongolia Women's Basketball Team twice this season and also won against Guangdong Women's Basketball Team and Shanxi Women's Basketball Team, so the strength of Shanghai Women's Basketball Team cannot be underestimated. Now that Shanghai Women's Basketball Team has signed Guerantes, the main player of Puerto Rican Women's Basketball Team, along with Cardozo, Bradford, Huang Jing, Pan Xuemei, Chen Yanyu, Zhang Zhiting, and other domestic players, Shanghai Women's Basketball Team's strength is absolutely enough to reach for the championship.
The arrival of Guerantes has greatly increased the strength of Shanghai Women's Basketball Team and also changed the championship landscape of WCBA. Originally, the championship teams of WCBA were produced from Sichuan Women's Basketball Team, Inner Mongolia Women's Basketball Team, Guangdong Women's Basketball Team, Jiangsu Women's Basketball Team, and Shanxi Women's Basketball Team. Among them, Sichuan Women's Basketball Team, Guangdong Women's Basketball Team, and Inner Mongolia Women's Basketball Team had the most hope of winning the championship in the 24-25 season. Now, Shanghai Women's Basketball Team has signed Guerantes to make up for the deficiency of the shooting guard position, making the lineup more complete. Therefore, Shanghai Women's Basketball Team is definitely one of the championship teams this year, and may have more competitive advantages than Guangdong Women's Basketball Team and Inner Mongolia Women's Basketball Team.
