Lost to the Clippers Yang Hansen only played four minutes! He scored every time he came on the court, but his rebounding and defense still need to improve!

NBA regular season, Clippers 114-107 Trail Blazers. In this game, the Blazers and Clippers played quite fiercely, because the Blazers reversed the situation through their performance in the second quarter. Unfortunately, the Clippers overtook them in the second half and ultimately lost to their opponents. But the Blazers kept pressing in the second half, resulting in little playing time for Yang Hansen. So I played for a short time in the first half and then didn't play.

In the end, Yang Hansen played 4 minutes and 20 seconds, scoring 2 points and 1 rebound in 0 of 1 shooting and 2 of 2 free throws. Such data can only be described as mediocre. There is no other way, Yang Hansen's current role is like this. A fight in the first half definitely has no tactical significance. It was impossible for him to play in the stalemate in the second half, because after all, his strength could not match the match.

As far as these four minutes are concerned, Yang Hansen was very well prepared from the beginning, because he was always ready to play. During that time, he played one or five pick-and-rolls with Holiday. After receiving the ball, he broke through to the inside and caused Zubac to foul. In the end, he scored both free throws. Being able to guarantee free throws is a good thing for Yang Hansen.

However, two hidden dangers are still very obvious. One is his defensive ability, which is still a big problem for him. It may be because of his speed that when he defends his opponent's shots, whether it is a mid-range shot or a three-pointer, he basically releases it. This makes it difficult for him to stabilize his defensive aggressiveness.

Rebounding is also a difficult problem for Yang Hansen. Of course, he grabbed an offensive rebound in this game, but in terms of overall rebound protection, he still cannot meet the basic requirements of an inside line. Only when rebounds are guaranteed can playing time be available. Unfortunately, Yang Hansen is still barely interested in protecting rebounds. Of course he has improved, but unfortunately the improvement is still a bit small, which is why he was unable to play in the second half.

In this case, the Blazers might as well use a small lineup, which will naturally reduce Yang Hansen's playing time. But with a small lineup, the Clippers have already cracked it, and subsequent teams still need more cracking methods.
