No. 16 in the 16th pick! Yang Hansen made his debut against the Warriors, speaks humorously, coach: He doesn t need to be trained for a long time

After the Trail Blazers selected Yang Hansen with the No. 16 draw, he chose the No. 16 jersey to start his NBA career, and the draft pick perfectly echoed the jersey number. At the press conference held by the team for him, he appeared in his new jersey, with expectations for his debut in his eyes.

The number change was retired due to the Trail Blazers No. 15 jersey, and Yang Hansen had previously wore No. 15 (the number of idol Jokic) in the CBA. After finally choosing No. 16, the fan shop put the jerseys on the shelves in advance. Some fans said: "The 16th pick is wearing No. 16, this fate is so wonderful." At the press conference, he humorously said that "you want to kick out the translator" and showed high emotional intelligence.

coach Billups had a very high opinion of Yang Hansen and said bluntly: "This is not a long-term training project. He is ready to play now." The team has been paying attention to him for more than two years. Before the draft, he actively invited trial training and even chartered a flight to pick him up. This emphasis has allowed Yang Hansen to integrate into the team faster. In the first match of the summer league, Yang Hansen will play against the Warriors, a team that had planned to "find" him at the No. 41 draw. After the schedule was announced, fans heatedly discussed: "The first match of the No. 16 show met old opponents, and the coach said there was no need to train. This game has too many highlights."
