Is it reasonable for Yang Hansen to be hidden? The former No. 7 pick has also become a supporting role. The 28-year-old is quick to seize the opportunity.

The Trail Blazers have suddenly emerged this season. Even though Yang Hansen has few opportunities to play, many fans still have a high opinion of this young team. Sure enough, the Trail Blazers faced off against the favorite Nuggets. Although they were passive most of the time, the Trail Blazers were very tenacious. In the end, they relied on Grant's free throw to beat the Nuggets at home.

As for the Chinese player Yang Hansen, he did not get a chance to play in this game. Of course, it is reasonable for him to be hidden. I believe that after watching the previous games, fans with a slightly objective perspective will admit that Yang Hansen's strength and condition are simply not up to NBA rotation level. Even if you move him to the Development League, you may not be able to reduce the dimensionality. Fortunately, the Blazers do not have too much record pressure, and they consider the mood of Chinese fans. Otherwise, with Yang Hansen playing for 5 minutes, it would be a poor performance as if he was exhausted, and I am afraid he would have been benched early.

You must know that the Blazers' current style of play is actually very fast. Traditional centers are facing great adjustments. For example, former No. 7 pick Donovan Klingen, as a starter for the Trail Blazers, averaged a double-double per game, but he also became a supporting role. Donovan Klingen also only played about 24 minutes in this game. In the matchup with Jokic, he was beaten on both offense and defense. In the end, he only scored 5 points on 2 of 8 shots. But Donovan Klingen made full use of his advantages. He grabbed 15 rebounds. Especially after his teammates took action, Donovan Klingen actively scrambled for position and grabbed 7 offensive rebounds. It should be said that relying on this, coupled with his height and size to ensure the lower limit of frame protection, he will definitely get some playing time.

In addition, Robert Williams is now back, and the 28-year-old crispy center has successfully seized the opportunity. In fact, at his peak, Robert Williams was the ceiling of a blue-collar center. The key was that he was too prone to injuries. This became even more outrageous after he joined the Trail Blazers. Now that Robert Williams is back, he scored 4 points and 4 rebounds. This data is not very impressive, but considering that Robert Williams only played 11 minutes and included 3 offensive rebounds, this performance is still quite outstanding.

Of course, as mentioned before, the Blazers' style now gradually favors outside players. Therefore, most of the time, Kamara, Grant and others in the Trail Blazers' fourth position will perform more brilliantly, including young player Chris Murray, who also scored 10 points and 6 rebounds in this battle. This may be the future development trend of basketball.
