Overnight, Chinese men’s basketball center Yang Hansen was actually transferred to the NBA Development League by the Trail Blazers! Obviously, the Trail Blazers believe that Yang Hansen's performance has not yet met the team's requirements!

Judging from Yang Hansen's recent performance in the NBA regular season, there are no highlights. Of course, his playing time is also quite small. In the five games combined, he only has a total of 25 minutes. There were also quite few shots, only about 10 in total, and the scores were in single digits, seven or eight points, and there were not many rebounds, only a few. In addition, there is a block.
Data like Yang Hansen's can be said to be very dissatisfying to domestic fans. After all, everyone has very high expectations for him. However, then again, Yang Hansen only plays 4-5 minutes in a game. In such a short playing time, it is very difficult for him to perform well. Therefore, Yang Hansen's poor performance is due to many factors, not entirely because of his poor level. If there is no stable playing time, it will be quite difficult for a newcomer to feel hot in an unfamiliar environment.

However, the Trail Blazers seemed to have gone too far with Yang Hansen. They first DNP him, and then, just ten hours later, they sent him to the Development League. Obviously, the Trail Blazers can be said to be fast in handling Yang Hansen.
Some fans do not understand that Yang Hansen was sent to the NBA Development League. So, why was Yang Hansen sent to the Development League? The author has also analyzed this matter. Through the analysis, there are mainly four factors:

First, there is a big problem with defense. During the game, we can find that Yang Hansen is often targeted by his opponents. During one-on-one defense, Yang Hansen can easily be passed by his opponents, thus losing his defensive position. To use a netizen's words, "I get called out in every game, and I succeed!"
As for Yang Hansen's defensive problem, it can be said that every coach will have a headache. Therefore, the defensive problem also limits Yang Hansen's playing time. Next, how to solve one-on-one defense is very important for Yang Hansen.

Second, his rebounding ability is not good. As a 2.16-meter center, Yang Hansen's rebounding ability can be said to be very poor. On the one hand, his jumping ability is not good. On the other hand, that is his lack of rebounding awareness and poor positioning. To be honest, as a 2.16-meter center, it is really unreasonable that he can't grab a rebound under the basket.
Third, the offensive ability is single. As a center in modern basketball, mid-range shots, small hooks, and three-pointers are all must-learn items. However, judging from Yang Hansen's performance, it can be said that he has no characteristics at all. He shoots three-pointers with low accuracy. There is no mid-range shooting ability, and at the same time, there is no post-up, no small hook...
In the current NBA, if you are a center who can only eat cakes under the basket, it will be difficult to survive. After all, you are not O'Neal, and you can be invincible under the basket. Due to his single offensive ability, it is difficult for Yang Hansen to give the team enough help on the offensive end.

Fourthly, there is not enough integration with teammates, and communication on the field is a problem. On the court, we can see that there is a lack of tacit understanding between Yang Hansen and his teammates, and many times they cannot reach a consensus. The reason for this is that he has less practice with his teammates. On the other hand, it has a lot to do with Yang Hansen's poor English. The two parties cannot communicate effectively and cannot express what they want to express.
Based on various factors, the Trail Blazers will transfer Yang Hansen to the Development League. In the Development League, Yang Hansen will definitely have more playing time. On the one hand, it will allow him to improve his condition. On the other hand, it also allows him to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA faster.
Of course, no matter what, wherever he plays, Yang Hansen must take it seriously, train hard, compete hard, and improve. As the saying goes, success is not inevitable, hard work is necessary. Come on, Yang Hansen!
