Yang Hansen s first summer league show has fluctuated: Highlights and shortcomings coexist, where is the future?

On July 18, on the stage of the NBA Summer League, the showdown between the Trail Blazers and the Rockets was like a highly anticipated feast, attracting the attention of countless fans. And in this focus battle, rookie Yang Hansen is undoubtedly the most dazzling star. Every touch and every performance he touches the fans tightly grasps the hearts of the fans.

In the draft, Yang Hansen was named by the Trail Blazers with the 16th pick in the first round, thus starting his NBA dream journey. For other rookies, this summer league may be struggling to win a contract, but Yang Hansen locked the team's seat early with a high pick. This is more like an excellent opportunity for him to adapt to the high-intensity rhythm of the NBA in advance and comprehensively improve his personal abilities.

Reviewing Yang Hansen's performance in the first three summer leagues, it can be described as "stunning four seats". He made his debut as a starting player, like the mainstay of the team, showing his strength on the field. In every game, his score easily broke through double digits. After three games, his total score reached 35 points. He also took 12 rebounds, sent 10 assists, and completed 6 blocks. Such comprehensive and eye-catching data is undoubtedly a brilliant star among the rookies in the summer league. Especially the last game against the Pelicans became his highlight moment. During the game, he felt hot, made 3 of 6 three-pointers and scored 15 points in a single game, breaking his many personal records in the summer league, making fans full of infinite imagination and expectations for his future.

With outstanding form in the first three games and the fans' high expectations, Yang Hansen ushered in this critical battle with the Rockets. However, at the beginning of the game, he encountered a small setback. The first quarter just started. Perhaps he was a little nervous when facing a strong enemy, or perhaps he had not fully adapted to the rhythm of the game, so he made two consecutive mistakes. These two mistakes were like two heavy hammers, hitting the coach's heart. In desperation, the coach could only temporarily replace him and let him calmly adjust his state on the sidelines.

However, the charm of basketball games lies in their ever-changing changes. At the end of the half, the Trail Blazers led the Rockets with a slight advantage of 5 points with their overall outstanding performance. At this time, let’s take a look at Yang Hansen’s half-time data. Although he only hit 1 goal in three shots and scored 4 points, his performance in other aspects is also remarkable. He grabbed 4 rebounds to protect the inside line for the team; sent 5 assists to revitalize the team's offense; and contributed 3 blocks, creating a great deterrence to the opponent's offense. However, the only drawback is that his three mistakes were all concentrated in the first quarter, which also exposed the problem of his instability in the opening stage.

Entering the second half, Yang Hansen gradually regained his game rhythm and stabilized his position. Although he didn't score much in his personal score, he was not discouraged by it, but focused more on creating scoring opportunities for his teammates. Through clever passes, he tore open the opponent's defense line again and again, giving teammates an excellent shooting opportunity; in the competition for rebounds, he also unambiguously, actively blocked his position, and used his body to protect every rebound for the team. Especially in the last quarter of the game, teammate Burk Knight suddenly burst out, feeling hot, and made 6 three-pointers in a row, like a god descending to earth, leading the Trail Blazers to set off an offensive climax, and finally helped the team win a refreshing victory with a score of 102-83. So far, the Trail Blazers have won three of their four summer league games, with a remarkable record. After the

competition, Yang Hansen's personal data was also freshly released. He played 21 minutes in the game, made 3 goals in 7 shots, scored 8 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, sent 5 assists, and completed 3 blocks, but made 4 mistakes in the game. Although the score is not high, his positive and negative values rank second highest on the court, which means that during his time on the court, the team's overall performance was excellent and he also made an important contribution to the team's victory.

In the last few minutes of the game, when Yang Hansen was replaced, all the players on the Trail Blazers' bench stood up one after another, giving him warm applause and cheers, and ran over to high-fives with him one by one, as if welcoming a triumphant hero. The audience was also infected by the warm atmosphere and applauded and cheered. As a rookie, Yang Hansen was able to get such high recognition and love from his teammates and audiences, which is undoubtedly the best affirmation of his potential and efforts. After the game, head coach Billups highly praised Yang Hansen's performance in an interview. He particularly appreciates Yang Hansen's pass-oriented style and believes that this style is very rare in today's basketball games. He also emphasized that as a center, he can give out 5 assists in the game, which fully reflects Yang Hansen's comprehensive technical quality and excellent basketball IQ. For example, he can quickly launch a fast attack after steals and be able to distribute the ball to his teammates in an open position in time after breaking through. These are all very valuable game abilities.

However, Billups also pointed out the problems that Yang Hansen had. He said that Yang Hansen's physical condition still needs to be improved. In the second half of the game, it was obvious that his physical strength had declined, not as energetic and vigorous as the first quarter. Moreover, his confrontation power is relatively weak. In the confrontation with his opponent's body, he was pushed away by his opponent's strong attack several times, resulting in an increase in the number of fouls, which also puts some pressure on the team's defense. After the game, the fan circle also sparked heated discussions, and everyone had a heated discussion on Yang Hansen's performance.. Some fans believe that Yang Hansen plays smart and flexible. Although the data is not particularly outstanding, his role on the court cannot be underestimated. His passing, rebounding and blocking data reflects his comprehensive technical characteristics and is expected to grow into a reliable player in the NBA in the future. However, some fans expressed concern that they felt that Yang Hansen's scoring efficiency was relatively low and his mistakes were relatively frequent. These problems existed in relatively low-intensity matches in the summer league. In the high-intensity confrontation of the regular season, it may be difficult for him to adapt to the rhythm of the game and perform at his own level.

Faced with the various comments from fans, Yang Hansen himself was very calm and confident. He said that he had recognized the existing problems and would focus on strengthening physical training in the future to improve his endurance and ensure that he could maintain sufficient physical strength during the competition. At the same time, he will also strengthen strength training, enhance his ability to confront and reduce the number of fouls. The coaching team also said that they will formulate detailed training plans to address the problems existing in Yang Hansen to help him improve his strength and overall competitive quality, so that he can better adapt to the intensity of the NBA game.

Overall, this game against the Rockets is both a challenge and a valuable accumulation of experience for Yang Hansen. Although he experienced some ups and downs and problems during the game, it also pointed out the direction for him to work in the future. In order to gain a foothold in the regular season, he must solve the two shortcomings of physical fitness and confrontation as soon as possible. After all, there are still a few months left before the regular season starts, and the training results of these few months will directly determine his future in the NBA. The Summer League stage is like a melting pot, providing rookies with opportunities to exercise and grow. Yang Hansen's NBA journey has just begun, and every step of progress needs to be slowly realized under the influence of sweat. I believe that in future games, he will bring us more surprises and wonderful performances.
