10+10+15! Are the Rockets ready?

4:13pm, 16 July 2025【Basketball】

In the past few days, except for the Rockets' games, I have watched the most of the games of the Trail Blazers.

In view of the Rockets' next summer league opponent being the Trail Blazers, out of testing the "opponent", I will write some technical analysis and future expectations for Yang Hansen in these games.

Yang Hansen scored double-digit scores (10+10+15) in all three games. If the performance is the most stable, it should be the first game. He basically played the shadow of the expected template against the Warriors.

Specifically, it means that it has strong support ability, and the first data obtained by Xia Lian in his career is assist. This ball will probably be played repeatedly in Yang Hansen's collection in the future. In the whole game, Yang Hansen contributed 5 assists and proved to the world that his playing style of Jokic in the U19 World Youth Championship can be brought to the NBA Summer League stage.

If the first game is stable, then the third game is the most surprising (playing the Pelicans today).

Yang Hansen's style of playing in the third game actually reduced a lot of back-to-back scenes compared to the first game. In the first and second games, many passes from the ground were also cut in half. The ending of

was that Yang Hansen had only 3 lowest assists in Xialian, but only 3 turnovers today, he also had a new low in Xialian.

After reducing the organizational role, Yang Hansen made more efforts on the defensive end today. Actually, I was worried that he would be knocked out by the Pelicans' double tower at the beginning. After all, one of the opponents is Derek Quinn, who is ahead of him, and the other is Missy who played 73 games in the NBA last season.

But unexpectedly, after the fight, he was the best among the three. Except for being targeted by Quinn in the first half for a few rounds, the rest of the two sides were 55, but Quinn made a complete 8-game mistake.

Misi was so defensive that Yang Hansen could not find North. After being blocked by Yang Hansen, she was lost. Later, Shi Lezhi directly ate the T.

So back to the surprise I just mentioned, what surprises Yang Hansen is his plasticity. If the first game played like Jokic Jr., then the second game was a bit like the poor version of Jaren Jackson.

Even without too many support roles, you can still find your presence on the court by defending head-on and three-pointers.

Of course, his defense is still much less stable than 3J, and there is still room for correction when blocking shots and positioning.

In recent days, many people are actually predicting whether Yang Hansen can play in the Trail Blazers according to Xia Lian's performance? Some people predict that he can play as a starting player, while others think that his third center substitute is not qualified.

I personally think that in a team like the Trail Blazers that are in a mess, he has playing time, and not only plays in garbage time, especially after today's game.

Even if Rowe's fantasy attendance rate is not included, he still has his rotation time on the team.

But to become a good player, you need to do it step by step.

Of course, the team won't have much chance to let him play Jokic-style basketball at the top of the arc, but if he can play against the Pelicans as he does today, he can play against the defensive advantage (not losing too many points against strong opponents) and score 1 three-pointer per game, over time, his time will become more and more stable.

Once you have more time on the court, it is not too late to show the so-called "core" of the ball-holding inside line.

Now think about it, although the Rockets' "Chinese plot" was in the Rockets, he once wanted Xiao Yang to wear the Rockets uniform, but his playing style with a relatively high ceiling does not match the Rockets' timeline now.

Instead of expecting the Rockets to appear in a second Yaoming-style era symbol, it is better to use a team that suits his development as it is now.

At 7:00 a.m. on July 18, let’s see what Yang Hansen faces the Xia Lian Rockets, whose strength and condition are not good, and see what practical content he has!
