Supported by Google: From the WNBA’s outset, the Houston Comets were the league’s first super-team, with a roster featuring three future hall of famers: ◽️Tina Thompson ◽️Cynthia Cooper-Dyke ◽️Sheryl Swoopes benpickman on today's teams strategies.

Chancellor notes that because players on his team — many of whom were Olympians — wanted to win, “coaching them…wasn’t a problem.” Still, having paced the sideline at Ole Miss for 19 years before taking the Comets job, he had to change some of his style. The weekend before starting in the WNBA, he remembers his wife, Betty, telling him, “You’re going to have to make an adjustment coaching women versus coaching college girls.

She had seen how dominant Houston had been, but she soon learned first-hand about the “championship mentality that guided” them. She was struck by the work ethic of Cooper-Dyke, Thompson and Swoopes. “They drove the intensity and the focus in practice,” Washington says. Brunson remembers Moore entering her first training camp with a knowledge of “how to play the game.” Moore brought boundless energy, sometimes rendering Brunson breathless because of her amazing playmaking skills. From 2011 through 2017, Minnesota won four tiles and made another finals appearance. In addition to five-time All-Star Brunson, the Lynx’s roster also featured Lindsay Whalen,and Sylvia Fowles, all of whom were named to the WNBA’s 25-year anniversary team.

The reigning champion Aces, meanwhile, are looking for motivation as they look to become the first repeat champions since 2002. Perhaps they could steal from Chancellor’s tactics.

Localization free super-resolution microbubble velocimetry using a long short-term memory neural networkLocalization free super-resolution microbubble velocimetry using a long short-term memory neural networkUltrasound localization microscopy is a super-resolution imaging technique that exploits the unique characteristics of contrast microbubbles to side-step the fundamental trade-off between imaging resolution and penetration depth. However, the conventional reconstruction technique is confined to low microbubble concentrations to avoid localization and tracking errors. Several research groups have introduced sparsity- and deep learning-based approaches to overcome this constraint to extract useful vascular structural information from overlapping microbubble signals, but these solutions have not been demonstrated to produce blood flow velocity maps of the microcirculation. Here, we introduce Deep-SMV, a localization free super-resolution microbubble velocimetry technique, based on a long short-term memory neural network, that provides high imaging speed and robustness to high microbubble concentrations, and directly outputs blood velocity measurements at a super-resolution. Deep-SMV is trained efficiently using microbubble flow simulation on real in vivo vascular data and demonstrates real-time velocity map reconstruction suitable for functional vascular imaging and pulsatility mapping at super-resolution. The technique is successfully applied to a wide variety of imaging scenarios, include flow channel phantoms, chicken embryo chorioallantoic membranes, and mouse brain imaging. An implementation of Deep-SMV is openly available at https://github.com/chenxiptz/SR_microvessel_velocimetry, with two pre-trained models available at https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/SECUFD.
