Yang Hansen was named the winner of Xialian! Team record explains the existing challenges and is optimistic about the future and has the potential to become the starter

On July 22, the well-known American media CBS Sports selected the winners and losers of this summer league, among which the Blazers rookie Yang Hansen was listed and became one of the winners. In addition, Trail Blazers reporter Dave Deckard also conducted an in-depth analysis of the current problems of Yang Hansen, and also had high expectations for his future growth as an NBA starter. When CBS listed Yang Hansen as the winner, he specifically mentioned that the young player has become a well-known name inside and outside the basketball circle. CBS's brief review pointed out -

"Yang Hansen is one of the fastest value-raising players in the summer league held in Las Vegas. The Trail Blazers' first-round rookie has performed well in the game many times, and eventually averaged 10.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. What is particularly prominent is his passing ability - as a tall player, his passing skills are top in the league, which just provides the much-needed organizational firepower for the Trail Blazers who are eager to make breakthroughs in the new season."

"The Trail Blazers caused a lot of shock when they first chose him, because most people originally expected him to be selected in the middle of the second round. This was a very bold decision. In the future, it may be regarded as a classic success story in draft history, or it may become a model of failure. Although the sample size of Xia Lian is small, judging from the current performance, the Trail Blazers seem to have made the right choice. Yang Hansen is undoubtedly one of the biggest winners of Xia Lian this year."

Trail Blazers reporter Dave When interacting with fans, Deckard was asked whether Yang Hansen could become the starting center of the Trail Blazers. He gave the following point of view -

"I think Yang Hansen cannot take on the heavy responsibility of starting immediately in the short term, but he definitely has the potential to grow into a starting lineup in the future. In fact, it is difficult for me to accurately predict where his ability ceiling will reach, but it is certain that his talent is enough to keep you paying attention and looking forward to it."

"From the season opening game to the top The peak process must be full of challenges. A strong opponent will suppress him with strength, while a relatively flexible small player will take advantage of speed, which is a common problem for all players over 2.16 meters tall. "

" However, he has several advantages that can help him gradually overcome these difficulties. He is not afraid of confrontation, and in his size, his footwork flexibility is impressive. Especially his lateral pace, Las Vegas Summer United performed well. I guess Yang Hansen will make steady progress like other rookies when adapting to the pace and style of the NBA game. "

" Judging from the Summer United performance, his core strength and lower-set stability still have room for improvement. Even for some smaller opponents, he will be pushed around. With his height and size, this should not happen often. He needs to learn how to face the basket in a non-frontal manner. Under the circumstances, better use of the body to maintain balance and position. "

"Rebounding is another link that he needs to focus on improving. Especially considering the existing lineup of the Trail Blazers, the competition for rebounding is particularly critical. In the summer, he performed well when blocking defensive rebounds, but he was not ideal in actively grabbing rebounds and efficiency. "

"Theory is all adjustable, but there are two difficulties. First, as I mentioned just now, he cannot Complete efficient positioning in front of all NBA-level opponents. Second, it is also a key question. Who is the positioning service? In addition to the center position, the Trail Blazers have mostly players with poor rebounding ability. Even with a few good rebounders, the team hopes that they can advance quickly rather than simply grab rebounds. The rebounding performance of Ayton and Klingen last season proved this. If Yang Hansen is not competent for this role, the overall performance of the team may be affected. "

"On the offensive end, Yang Hansen's performance in high and middle is satisfactory, but when pulled to both sides or diagonal areas, especially when defending, his performance will be tested more severely. If he gradually becomes a threat in the eyes of his opponent, the defense will definitely try to restrain him to the sideline and force him to defend the bottom corner. Whether he can move quickly, play the defensive effect, return to defense in time, and have enough endurance to complete these actions are challenges he must face. Fast attack turn The same tests his physical fitness. "

" Finally, if you want to play your pass advantage at a high position, you must have a certain shooting threat. Stable three-point shooting ability will greatly help him attract defensive attention, at least the shooting percentage in the top of the arc must be guaranteed. Otherwise, the opponent will easily retreat to defend, cut off the passing line or block his passing vision, which will make his passing value stay at the theoretical level and it is difficult to form a substantial threat. "

"These are the initial challenges Yang Hansen faces after entering the NBA, and there will be more difficulties in the future. But overall, his current performance is gratifying. Trail Blazers fans can fully expect him to grow steadily. After all, in this league, there is no need to soar to the genius from the beginning to be considered successful. As long as he can overcome these obstacles one by one, he will surely break out his own world in the league, and will also bring countless exciting moments."
