In October, Moore spent some time in the U.S. with a knee recovery following Minnesota's successful Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) championship stint. She arrived in China on Dec. 15.

According to the WNBA's official website, Moore averaged 18.5 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.6 steals per game during the 2015 season.

The talented and achiever Moore is the 2011 WNBA No. 1 draft pick selected by the Minnesota Lynx. She was the recipient of the league's rookie of the year of the 2011 season.

In her first five seasons in WNBA, she became a dominant force in the league and she was chosen to be the 2014 Most Valuable Player of the season. Moore is a four-time All-Star and the 2015 all-star MVP. She is the 2014 scoring leader of the league and a two-time member of the All-WNBA First team and once for the All-WNBA Second team.

Moore has three WNBA championships in her resume all with the Minnesota Lynx. She is a member of the U.S. women's basketball team that won gold medal in the 2012 London Olympics. She was also a part of the national squad who participated and won gold medals in the 2010 and 2014 FIBA World Championship and awarded the tournament MVP in 2014.

Aside from the WNBA, she also excelled in European leagues, winning both the Spanish league and EuroLeague titles while playing for Ros Casares Valencia.

The Shanxi team is striving for their fourth straight WCBA title, a feat that only Bayi has ever accomplished in league's history.
