Successful muscle growth! Trail Blazers Records Talk about Yang Hansen: He has the potential to become an All-Star, but he needs to be a substitute in the early stage

On September 15, the European Championships have ended. Shin Kyung can be said to be the most successful player in this European Championship. He not only proved that he is no longer a little Fire Dragon, but also eliminated Jokic and the team of letters and became a center at the Flaming Dragon level. Because his playing style is very similar to Yang Hansen, many fans have higher expectations for Yang Hansen, and Hansen has not been idle this summer.

According to domestic media, Yang Hansen gained muscle during training in the United States, from 118 kilograms before to 122 kilograms. This is good news for Yang Hansen. The first thing a rookie who enters the NBA has to face is the problem of confrontation. After all, he has never been exposed to this high-level confrontation before, and his strength may not be able to keep up. The gap in strength will make players suffer significantly in offense and defense after the confrontation. This is not a rookie problem. 90% of rookies in the league will do this.

So muscle building is a compulsory course for them, but some players are trained differently. To be honest, I thought the Trail Blazers would make Henson lose weight at first. Yes, you heard it right. Henson’s biggest problem is that his speed is not fast enough. If you want to meet the current NBA trend, in addition to three-pointers, there is speed. This is also why the team likes thin centers such as Wenban and Chet.

Since you have gained muscle, it is also a good thing. In fact, what everyone is more concerned about now is whether Yang Hansen can play as a starting player or have a stable rotation playing time. If he is like Zhou Qi at the time, it will disappoint everyone. After all, the draft pick is so high. Recently, the Trail Blazers' team reporter Reese wrote an article about Yang Hansen and their prospects for Yang Hansen's future. It can be said that he is full of expectations for Xiao Yang.

He said: The Trail Blazers training camp is about to begin, and many fans are looking forward to Yang Hansen's performance. At that time, the Trail Blazers selected him with the No. 16 draw. This decision surprised many people. Yang Hansen was originally widely regarded as a second round pick, which is much higher than the expected pick from the outside world. The Trail Blazers are not an impromptu choice. The Trail Blazers have been inspecting him in the past two years and finally decided to bet on him. It is not easy for the team to evaluate his potential.

Because the set he used in the CBA may not be practical in the NBA. Despite this, Yang Hansen showed his potential in the summer league. Although the rebounding data is not very outstanding, he can help his teammates get stuck and create opportunities for rebounds for his teammates. Of course, his performance is not perfect. Although he often makes correct judgments, his turnovers and assists are the same. In order to become the team's real offensive core, he needs to make some changes in this regard.

He is a good franchise protector in defense, but when facing outside players, he is a little unable to defend. However, Yang Hansen has obviously more advantages than disadvantages, and he has shown the level that Trail Blazers fans expect. Because the Trail Blazers' draft decision was very bold, many people think that Yang Hansen would be a player who needs to be trained for many years, but as of now, this is not the case. I expect him to play as Klingen's substitute before the start of the new season.

The problem facing the Trail Blazers is no longer whether the team made the wrong decision, but how good Yang Hansen can play. If his advantages can be played in the rhythm and confrontation of the NBA, then he has the potential to become an All-Star player. With the approach of the training camp and the regular season of the new season, we will further understand his strength. From the current perspective, the Trail Blazers were ridiculed for choosing him, but now it seems that they have had the last laugh. The team believes in their draft evaluation and has also received huge returns.

It is not difficult to hear from this sentence that this reporter's expectations for Yang Hansen. His words still sound very pertinent. After all, the advantages and disadvantages are pointed out. Klingen will most likely start, because Billups needs defense. Klingen's frame protection is very good, but Klingen's problem is also very obvious. He has almost no scoring ability. In this case, his long-term presence will only affect the team's offense, so Yang Hansen will get more playing time.

As for Rowe, he may have part of his playing time at the beginning of the season, but he is not the future of the Blazers. The team will try to trade and send him away. Moreover, Rowe's attendance rate cannot be guaranteed. Most of the time in the future will be Klingen and Yang Hansen occupying the inside. Yang Hansen's ball quotient is extremely high. If he can improve his three-point shooting and speed in the future, it is not impossible to reach the height of Shin Kyung and Jokic.

Now the center with the ball has become a player praised by the league. After all, the center has a very high tactical position in the team. If they can hold the ball, the team's tactical arrangements can be easier. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current pioneers? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
