Last night at RAC Arena, Chinese center Han Xu lit up the court in her home debut for the Perth Lynx, dropping 19 points in just 25 minutes to fuel a 98-81 victory over the Melbourne Boomers 🏀🔥.
From the tip-off, Han was in the zone. She nailed a lay-up off a pinpoint lob, sank a catch-and-shoot three, and finished the first half with 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting, plus two steals and a block. By halftime, the Lynx led 63-35, cruising to the WNBL win.
Her impact wasn’t just on the stat sheet. Every time Han scored, the crowd erupted—think Diwali fireworks-level energy! 🎆 Fans and teammates gave her a well-deserved standing ovation when she subbed out in the fourth quarter.
In 25 minutes, Han shot 6-of-13 from the field, proving she’s a force to be reckoned with this season. If this debut is any hint, the Perth Lynx are looking like title contenders—and Han Xu is at the heart of it.
