"Dong Shen" is back! In the semi-finals of the 2024-25 season, the Tsinghua High School Women's Basketball Team completed a big reversal while falling behind by 16 points and entered the final quarter. They defeated Yali Middle School Women's Basketball Team 79-77 to reach the final. The team leader Dong Yinuo scored 20 points in the last quarter, scoring 29 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in the whole game, becoming the team's reversal hero. She not only made a key three-pointer at the last moment, but after being equalized by her opponent, she broke through and laid off to complete the final score. Dong Yinuo, known as the "female version of Irving", once again demonstrated his terrifying scoring ability at critical moments.

Dong Yinuo is currently 18 years old and is a defender who is 1.75 meters tall. When she was in junior high school, she was praised by fans as the "female version of Irving" because of her gorgeous style of play. Dong Yinuo helped Tsinghua High School Women's Basketball Team win the Naigao League championship last year.

This year, she led the team to the championship again as a senior high school student, and met the women's basketball team of Yali Middle School, whose strength was upgraded in the semi-finals. Dong Yinuo scored 26 points in the semi-finals of the Negao League last year, helping Tsinghua High School Women's Basketball Team defeat Yali Middle School Women's Basketball Team. However, this year, a group of senior high school students from Tsinghua High School Women's Basketball Team left, and their strength declined slightly. Yali Middle School introduced Li Yueru's sister Li Yuqian, and its strength improved.

Tsinghua High School Women's Basketball Team played very passively throughout the game, and finally fell 16 points behind and entered the final quarter. Dong Yinuo scored 9 points in the first three quarters and led the team to support it hard. She encountered strict prevention from Yali Middle School women's basketball team, and every attack was difficult. But in the final quarter, Dong Yinuo completely released herself. She scored a signature mid-range shot, scored a layup, and threw a three-pointer from the outside. The Tsinghua High School Women's Basketball Team set off a crazy counterattack.

Dong Yinuo's key three-pointer helped Tsinghua High School women's basketball team surpass Yali Middle School women's basketball team 77-75, forcing the opponent to call a timeout. She jumped into the coach's arms with great excitement. Yali Middle School then equalized the score with one attack. Dong Yinuo was the only one who allowed the team to perform the last attack. She broke through to the inside and faced the center of Yali Middle School Xu Ziqi to make up for defense, and still made a dexterous layup. Dong Yinuo carried out magic to the end and completed the final kill. The female version of Irving is indeed very powerful.

Dong Yinuo averaged 22 points per game in the National Negotiu League last year and won the national finals scoring leader. In the quarter-finals, Dong Yinuo scored 25 points in all 11 shots and scored 26 points in the semi-finals against Yali Middle School. She scored consecutively at the critical moment of the finals, helping the team equalize the score. Although the MVP in the final was won by Liang Yaqi, who scored 24 points and 15 rebounds, Dong Yinuo's role is also very important.

In this year's Naigao League, Dong Yinuo once again saved the Tsinghua High School Women's Basketball Team. After the game, Dong Yinuo said: "Last year was the second year of high school. On the court, I wanted to support the third year of high school and win the championship. This time, I took all the pressure, including the expectations outside, on our senior high school players, and the responsibility may be even more serious."

For the next final, Dong Yinuo said: "We still have a fighting mentality in the finals. Maybe our strength is not the strongest, but our fighting spirit can defeat all enemies."

Dong Yinuo is one of the players of the National Youth Women's Basketball Team and will represent the Chinese U19 Women's Basketball Team to compete in this year's U19 Women's Basketball World Youth Championship. In last year's U18 Asian Youth Championship, Dong Yinuo, Xu Ziqi, Hu Ruiyan and other famous players in the Nagao League did not participate because they went to play in the World Middle School Basketball Championship. Therefore, Dong Yinuo did not join forces with Zhang Ziyu, who was 2.23 meters tall, in the National Youth Team.

Now Zhang Ziyu has been promoted to the Chinese women's basketball team. He wants to play in the Asian Cup of Women's Basketball Team and will not play in the U19 Women's Basketball World Youth Championship. The two missed the National Youth Women's Basketball League again. The female version of Irving is going to join forces with the female version of Yao Ming, and maybe it will have to wait until Dong Yinuo enters the Chinese women's basketball team.

The Chinese women's basketball team needs players who dare to fight and are also discovering young players. If Dong Yinuo performs well in this year's World Youth Championship, it is not ruled out that she will join the Chinese women's basketball team next year. The Chinese women's basketball team exposed the problem of the defender's lack of breakthrough ability in the Paris Olympics, and Dong Yinuo is a breakthrough expert and has accurate central shots. If Dong Yinuo stays healthy, his future will be bright!
