8+8+5+3! Positive and negative value +19, Yang Hansen sets a record!

On July 19, #NBA Summer League is in full swing, and the Portland Trail Blazers have won again! Yesterday, the Trail Blazers defeated the Rockets 102-83. Yang Hansen, who we care about the most, delivered another beautiful report card today!

8+8+5+3! Positive and negative values +19 set a record!

Yang Hansen played for 22 minutes, made 3 of 7 shots, scored 8 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 big hotpots! What's even more amazing is that his plus or negative value is as high as +19, second in the team! He is the highest in the team in terms of rebounds, assists and blocks! This data is like a "little dream chase" Green!

Four summer league games have been played, and Yang Hansen really defeated the American media, team and fans! The moment he was substituted at the last moment of the game, the applause in the stadium instantly erupted! What’s even more heartwarming is that all the teammates on the bench stood up and lined up to celebrate with Xiao Yang. This treatment is a sure “group pet” certification! The Trail Blazers' Summer League journey is not over yet, and there is still at least one qualifying match to play, and Xiao Yang's "road to upgrade" is still continuing.

Review Xiao Yang's performance today:

The start was a bit tight: In fact, the first quarter was not smooth. Since his debut, his opponents have studied him! The Rockets will give him strength when they come up, and they will fight at high positions, or even double-team them, just don't want him to pass the ball comfortably.

Xiao Yang made three mistakes in the first quarter. Although he played very hard and tried hard to find his teammates, the opponent's defense center was under his control. And the physical energy consumption is really great. He was panting when the first quarter ended.

Adjustment capability MAX! : but! After returning to the second quarter, Xiao Yang’s ability to adjust is amazing! Although he didn't score in this quarter, he gave 3 exquisite assists and 3 domineering blocks! The big hat chased the Rockets Matthews' shot was blown away, just like playing volleyball! There are also hands-on protection, collisions against the wall, and the organization can play in a series of ways. The commentator exclaimed: "This ability to read the game is not like a rookie!"

is getting better and better in the second half. With Dupera's tough layup, he scored a "2+1" and fought with the big man Moses Brown at the basket and made a foul. He could bring something new in every game!

The Trail Blazers coaching staff even designed an ATO (after timeout) "hockey tactic" for him, allowing him to support him in a high position, with the small guard cutting, and then he accurately passed the ball to his teammates in the bottom corner. Is this tactic familiar? Really destined to be treated like "Little Jokic"! Even the reporters with the team couldn't help but praise: "Yang's basketball IQ is too high!" After four games, Yang Hansen's average data was close to "11+5+4+2" (a total of 43 points, 20 rebounds, 15 assists and 9 blocks)! This performance completely conquered the picky American media. "Sports Illustrated" famous reporter Mannicks tweeted directly: "I've been completely attracted by Yang Hansen. He is the superstar of the summer league!"

Teammates become mentors! Lillard "goes home"!

Just before this game, the Trail Blazers did a big thing - using a three-year, $42 million contract to re-sign the team's legend Damian Lillard!

It is reported that Lee's main task for next season (25-26) is to recover from injury, but his choice to return to Portland (where his family and children are here) is of great significance. He even received middle-class and basic salary offers from other championship teams, but eventually chose to "go home".

(Background tip: In 2023, the Trail Blazers traded Lillard to the Bucks for assets such as Holiday, and then traded Holiday to the Celtics for Rowe, Brogdon, etc. After going around, the Trail Blazers signed Holiday back through trade this offseason! So now the Trail Blazers have both Lillard and Holiday, plus Avdia, Rowe, Kamara and future draft picks, and the future framework has been available.)

Lillard played for the Trail Blazers for 11 seasons, 7 All-Stars, 7 All-Squad, and led the team to the playoffs 8 times, including a Western Conference Final. He is the scoring champion and three-pointer in the team history, with second assist. Absolute team spirit!

After the game, Yang Hansen also expressed his respect when talking about the 75 superstar: "Lillard is a very good player. I hope he recovers as soon as possible and plays a better performance!" Team reporter Hodal even joked: "I guess Lillard can't wait to call the management after reading Yang's Xialian highlights, and he wants to come back soon!"

This contract is very friendly to Lillard, including the trade veto and player options. Li Guidance, 35, is likely to retire after this contract. He gave up the opportunity to chase the championship. The Trail Blazers' first year was equivalent to "giving 14.1 million for free" to let him recover with peace of mind (it is expected to be 8-10 months, and he may return in the playoffs next year), and he also promised not to take the initiative to trade him. This operation was called the "most humane" signing by the US media! In any case, Xiao Yang has an extra 75 teammate at the level of a legendary mentor!

Sweet Troubles: Xiao Yang needs to take a breath!

Although the prospects are bright, Xiao Yang's current challenges are not small. After the summer qualifying match, rookies usually have a short vacation (after all, from the trial in May to the present, it has been more than two consecutive months of high intensity). But the holiday is not long, and the team will soon issue a thick tactical manual. Those complex tactics and terms are crucial to Xiao Yang's integration into the team. The training camp will be opened in September to prepare for the new season.

More important is: from August 5 to 17, the Asian Cup will start in Saudi Arabia! Yang Hansen needs to represent the national team. This brings up a big question: Should Xiao Yang rest?

The well-known media person Guan Weijia raised concerns: since the regular season of the CBA last season, Xiao Yang has almost never stopped.. The hardships of the boat and the Asian Cup mission, will huge injuries accumulate? If he is injured, it will definitely not be worth the loss for him who is determined to gain a foothold in the new season!

Many fans are also shouting: "Let the national team let people go! Let Yang Hansen rest and train well in the United States, the combination of work and rest is the most important! Other things that are not that important, don't crush our hope star!"

Two points are certain:

Xiao Yang's position in the Trail Blazers has been stable in the new season! His performance completely conquered everyone. It is not a bad thing to start with Klingen's substitute. He needs to improve his physical fitness, become familiar with his teammates, and grow step by step.

Health and scientific planning are the top priority! No one wants him to fall down during this critical upward period of rookie season due to excessive fatigue or accidental injury. The ideal situation may be to stay in the United States for system recovery and targeted training.

Risk warning: CBA+try training + Xia Lian’s round-route, Yang Hansen has been ongoing for 10 months.

Su Qun: "Yao Ming was so tired that he played in the Asian Championships! If Yang Hansen went to Saudi Arabia, he might repeat Zhou Qi's mistakes!"

Double-click girl conclusion:

When Yang Hansen broke the doubts with 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, and when Lillard gave up his dream of competing for the championship for the sentence "Go home", Portland's basketball story has the hottest new chapter.

This 20-year-old Chinese boy is writing his own "Legend of Pioneer" with Jokic-style passes and Uncle Mu's hot pot.

As for the Asian Cup? Perhaps we should listen to Yang Hansen’s own words: “Basketball is not a single choice question, but health is the only necessary option.”
