NBA 2K25 Liberty vs Wings Gameplay

the shot was there for her she had to take it and I don't care if she didn't convert she should take it again next time now here's Laney Hamilton just five to shoot from Deep New York no good that time either outside a go on the lead JC [Applause] Sheldon green by Howard Sheldon outside from Deep satu sabell New York with the rebound on an open look like that she's just got a gift for making the weak coverage pay that's a surprising Miss she's almost always deadly when she's that open even from way downtown and for satu sa the WNBA is a family affair her sister naira is also in the league satu is more of a shooter while naira is a big however they both represent the German national team now here's Vanderloo pass to Jones [Applause] yancu Stewart inside guarded by Sab and Stewart gets it to go Stewart's presence down low stems from her skills and finesse she's something to watch and something to admire here's Sheldon good and the assist goes to aoes that type of D it just not going to cut it they got to get a hand in her face too good of a shooter ycu left side jacks up a three after two misses to start the game she's on the board with that shot well it looks like that last three definitely got jesu's attention she goes to the ark with a purpose and drains the answer now here's Sheldon outside a Goa shoots over Vander Sloop that misses off the backboard yeah she's not necess necessarily a strong interior presence but she's got to finish those chances she hasn't oh man she is so good at making those lead passes Sheldon with it up top ofuna the three [Applause] ball here's Howard off to a good start as she hits her first shot attemp check out the heart and hustle from Howard on the glass she's good at creating Second Chance [Applause] opportunities now here's Vanderloo guarded now by auma W Vander slute left side three-pointer Brianna Stewart and again it's the Liberty from Deep the three-point shot of Stewart It's what sets everything else up you have to meet her at the three-point line because if you don't she'll knock him down now here's a Goa W there's a screen by maowen inside stolen by [Applause] Jones to the middle Stewart s with the steel topa tries it from 19 and is Brianna Stewart with the rebound this has not been a quarter to remember for her I mean what's going on right now what is this she's not making any sort of impact for them at that end of the court now here is ycu the 19t shot again the Liberty good for two countless hours in the gym have enabled Brianna Stewart to hit mid-range shots like that what a hard worker now here's auna Vander slute defending auna shot is off New York leading and they have certainly been looking locked in offensively they sure have staying aggressive and playing in control back to Stewart fires the three and that comes off the assist by Courtney vanders another Bucket from Stewart who's having a nice game offensively she's a well-rounded player pass to Howard now here is maau screen by Howard and here's aun B Vander slute defending Vader on the way takes a big high bounce and goes in a good shooter with even better footwork you can't let sabali get too comfortable for mid-range here's yancu and she uses a glass on the layup it's easy to get spoiled watching her play the game of basketball but I would advise you to not take this for granted she makes these plays look so simple here's a goodba and so the first quarter in the books Liberty out in front up by seven after this break we'll be back with the start of the second quarter on 2K sports all right the second quarter beginning in just a moment and taking a look at the Liberty performance here guys what are your thoughts well we've seen them really get out and establish an offensive r them and they're finding ways to score you know playing well and getting good offense now here's Sheldon outside Sao to the paint it's tip Brown and she was fouled on the way up two free throws for her foul Rihanna Stewart picks one up a powerful player who's a handful for any Defender at times all you can do is foul Brown no good on the free throw well when you're talking about scoring Duos it doesn't get much better than satu sa and arque auna yeah Dallas loves having this pair both in the top 10 in points per game last year and they do it different ways arque at 5'8 is the dynamic guard sabali at 6'4 is a skilled Wing now here's Vander SLO she hasn't yet put up any points in this one now here is thoron defense is right there Vander SLO no good that's one she knows she should have drained outside a Goa Sheldon kicks it out to [Music] [Applause] sty the shot no good Some solid defense from Brianna Stewart pass to vandero goes to the reverse layup and drops it in got to be disciplined against Vander slute if she gets a clean look at The Rim she usually [Music] converts outside auna on the wings satu saali brown with the screen charity striped shot Sab good move by sabali to beat the D able to shake them off with the pick and roll now here's vandero guarded closely Thorton outside pass to Stewart and good coming off the assist by Kayla Thorton good movement of the ball from Thorton a wing by trade she has a really nice vision arque auga on the wing rebound New York she can't get anything to drop and the way she's going it's probably not something she should try to to shoot her way out of and I'm sure her teammates would agree with that you know the last thing they want to see her doing is shooting it more the wings Trail you have to respect how John Paul Jones has continually up her game well she never seems satisfied with her game does she even after she won most improved player she just kept working to get even better and the results speak for themselves as she eventually won League MVP and it's New York's ball pass to Vanderloo now Jones with the fadea away that one off of back iron and out [Applause] here's auma using the post moves to get the two points just like all the best guards the elite guards in the world orque oan W finds ways to score inside now here is Stewart 14 points for [Music] her yes once again for her on an excellent 7even for eight shooting night so far that's one way she can can finish but far from the only way she's got all types of tricks up her sleeve here's sabali brown with the screen pass to Goa and good as it snugs right down through the net intelligent ball movement from satu sabali gets the ball to her wideopen teammate timeout called The Liberty and the [Applause] breaker and the Liberty making a change here and so it's New York with it six-point lead pass to Stewart two minutes remaining in the first half back to ycu sinks the triple zero hesitation on Yu's shots she's pretty much got it all picked out so that once she gets the ball she's automatic now here's a Goa wal she has [Applause] seven Sheldon outside outside a Goa six on the shot clock High post try it's rebounded by savali well she rushed that one the he was out of position but she couldn't make him pay well New York won that 2020 Lottery and their prize man it was a great one Sabrina yonescu well she was the first piece right and she endured some tough times but her talent and overall play helped attract Brianna Stewart John quell Jones and other key players now here Sheldon outside auma vanders slute with the steel and it's blocked and she gets contact and the whistle on the shot two free throws coming up Dallas called for the foul you see the quick thinking of Vander slute able to get into the lane and force the contact well there's not much debate in terms of the best passer in WNBA history it's Courtney Vanderloo without a doubt oh yeah I mean you could say that again you know she has the best career average by far in league history vanders slute won six straight assist titles Courtney is just a magician out there on the floor count that one because of sa's impressive physical skills I'm never surprised when she pulls off these contact [Applause] finishes yancu outside that's good and soy vanders gets the assist perfect screen there set her up with a terrific look yeah but that's a bad job by the defender to not fight through that screen to contest you want to see more effort there now here is maau still getting warmed up offensively no buckets yet in the game for her aaal good such a signature part of a Goomba W's game she's hit many game winners with that exact [Music] shot Ander slute outside shoots she got it up in time but it just wouldn't fall for him and so that's the end of the first half it's the Liberty up by 12 and we'll be back for the second half following the break keep it right here on 2K sports you know what time it is it's time for your fan half court shot please direct your attention to C Court drugs please they're thinking about the [Applause] shot one more time a round of applause [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] well it's been a one-sided Affair through the first two quarters but there is plenty of time to mount a comeback what a game we're seeing from Brianna Stewart she went absolutely off those first two quarters guys and she's capable of doing that each night she hits the floor we might see some changes here in the defensive approach they use as we hit the second half well they've got to make some sort of change right I mean they can't let her continue to torch them like she has been hello and welcome back third quarter just about to get going and what has been a runaway of a game so far now here's a goba up top Sab that one Falls coming off arque a always nice well there's lots of ways you can build a team what do you think is the best route Tim well optimally you want to draft and develop but that's tough to do because it's hard to find rookies in seconde players who have a Major Impact so you need to have patience if you want to draft a develop yeah so I like the teams that make smart trades whether it's taking in picks cashing in for a star asset management is the name of the game now here is mallan she's been patient so far nothing yet on the scoreboard a nice shot by auma W what a score okan wall is a prime time threat to shoot off the kick here's yancu she's got 11 and if you're just joining us we played just over a minute here in the third Dallas trailing here now here's [Applause] AA up top sabali over Stewart knocks it Loose well that's just not a sight you see very often because she has a great feel for that jump shot especially when she's open and this Liberty team of course features Brianna Stewart JN quill Jones and Sabrina yancu how about that big three one of the best we've ever seen Stewie and Jones are former MVPs and unes could win one pretty soon herself this is a loaded roster now here's a Gooma he's got 11 Sheldon the kick out to auma that's good and it's tiarra mowan with the assist well we know agumba W has the shooting touch and she's more than comfortable extending her range timeout called The Liberty all right L forer Daner [Applause] Dan here's Vander Sloop down low [Applause] down Stewart up top down to five on the shot clock can't get it to fall that's a surprise out of character for her to miss those when the D's not right in her face now here's AA wal Vander slute defending it's good and she drew the contact on the shot so she'll go to the line a three-point play opportunity no doubt about it arque auno is one of the best scorers in the league well you know one of the big reasons is she plays a lot she's in excellent shape she led the WNBA and minutes played in 2023 that helps and the other thing I think that she does at an leite level she gets the line so much kque is always applying pressure to defense now here's Jones hasn't scored yet that I'm sure will change Sheldon outside pass to top of the key offensive rebound Sab no good New York leading right wing re pointer Sabrina yonescu got a piece of it maowen with the ball and it's Jones picking her up in the third quarter with just over 3 and 1/2 minutes off the clock outside [Applause] Sab pass to Sheldon shot clock at six screen by maowen tries it from 19 and that's off the glass and in a sensational run has them on the verge of tying it up or maybe even taking the lead it's been an unreal turnaround and I'm going to credit their defense right along with their offense for giving them the spark they needed it has been on both sides of the Court what they needed it is good she's made the most of her chances hasn't she she needs to keep on working to get these good [Applause] looks now here's a goba Vander slute defending [Applause] Laney Hamilton with it and it's Howard picking her up here's Stewart soft touch off the glass it's hard enough stopping Stewart don't let her get a head start and it's the wings ball their defense has only allowed six points in the second half from long range and it's Brianna Stewart with the rebound pass to Vander [Applause] Sloop good work defensively by Natasha [Applause] howarda W with [Applause] it outside sabell over Stewart New York with the rebound they've led by as many as 14 points yancu guarded now by AA w three and it's rebounded by SAU sa about 7 Seconds separating the shot and game cross and here's AA 16 points for her but they'll get another chance you almost feel bad for the defender I mean slowing down Macau in the paint is impossible once she gets the ball half the foul there and first trip to the free throw line for her in this one both teams deciding to change it up and she misses the second one as well so 0 for two that time to the wing on the left pass to Stewart here's Jones sinks that one from the post that's how to orchestrate for your teammate terrific pass and that's going to do it for the third quarter it's the Liberty they're up by eight don't go anywhere the final quarter is coming up next on 2K [Applause] sports it's the fourth quarter the fourth quarter just moments away now as we welcome you back now yancu out the screen out the [Applause] screen outside Stewart and a great assist that time by Sabrina yancu as that one goes in give her an inch Stewie will just knock those down so quick with her release pass to goba over yancu auna no good well she rushed that one but he was out of position but she couldn't make him pay to the inside Stuart with the bucket talk about a determined distributor yancu pretty much always knows where her teammates are a challenging stretch for Dallas here pass to Lopez cesa here's zis defended by Stewart the fade away zis gets the bucket they can't afford to give her that kind of look well it came off a good screen but still as a Defender you have to fight over the top of it and you need some help as well now here's Vander SLO here and here is [Applause] Stewart and it's wide right hits off the rim right side of Goa pass to usan Lopez CAW arque agumba on the wing five to shoot the offensive rebound seagis and the layups good off the glass perance it always pays off on the offensive glass yancu [Applause] outside out of bounds it'll go to the [Applause] wings both teams will make substitutions the wings [Applause] Trail here's usan pass to Sheldon sa with it defended by [Applause] Stewart sa with it Stewart's there six to shoot Sab no good and the Liberty with possession here they've led by as many as 14 points yancu outside down low both loose got it good job in the low post you know we try to not play favorites but the truth is we're all fans here so guys who is your favorite player to watch this is easy I got to go with Sabrina janesu who's also from my hometown of Wal Creek she plays so unselfish but also has an amazing three-point shot so she can score in bunches I'm a big Kelsey Clum fan you know I love players who can shoot in Kelsey C can do that but she also has other parts of her game that are very good and of course I mean lefties it just make everything look better now here's Vanderloo and the officials will call the illegal screen here very close call there on the illegal screen and I'd go along with it you know to me it didn't really look like her feet were [Applause] set here in the fourth quarter just under two and 1/2 minutes gone by pass to sabali over Stewart and off the left side of the rim and it swirls in just locked in on the jumper sa's razor sharp Focus coming into play on difficult shots like these now here is uncu [Applause] outside Stewart just five on the clock good and Sabrina yonescu getss the dime got to appreciate how yonescu reads the defense terrific job of finding the open teammate then to the paint sabali defended by Stewart the fader and she didn't get quite enough under that [Applause] one inside and that one goes in as she's fouled it'll be three points that you can convert the free throw and former MVP John PA Jones made a finals appearance in her first season with the Liberty yeah and she also led the Sun to the finals while she was in Connecticut te Jones she's just the ideal stretch big 66 rate length about 38% from pre- over her career if you have Jones on your team you're going to win a lot of games now here is Stewart janesu outside three-pointer it is good and it is her sixth make against 11 attempts they're not letting up guys they just keep coming out of it and and I think it's safe to say that lead is too big to overcome at this point just not enough time on the clock absolutely auna with it Vander slute defending got a piece of it and she finishes nicely on the layup well if it wasn't already out of reach it is now thanks to the spurt that they're having and why put on the brakes now Tim I say just keep on firing man Brian you want to run up the score now here's a goba W shot clock at five back to Sheldon to stop the run gets it to go from downtown good Rec nition from Mumba W she's more than capable of understanding when her teammates are wide open yancu right side pass to Stewart over seagis Stewart [Applause] misses now here Sheldon she's guarded closely me me [Applause] and so New York takes this one by a big margin to come into an opponent's building and dominate the way they did tonight says an awful lot about this team yeah Blake I guess they don't need home cooking like you know you're cooking from your mom to feel at home just a masterful performance all around for them so that's going to do it for this one folks ch for
