Yang Hansen Xialian’s first impression: Show your strengths to management and fans, and leave your weaknesses to yourself and the future

3:44pm, 14 July 2025【Basketball】

Yang Hansen's first two back-to-back matches in summer:

against the Warriors, played 24 minutes, made 3 of 7 shots, 10 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 3 blocks, plus or negative value +11, the team won 106-73,

against the Grizzlies, played 4 of 8 shots, 10 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block, plus or negative value +5, the team collapsed in the final quarter and lost 86-96.

The good thing is that the advantages that the Trail Blazers value in the draft, the variety of football quotient, and the cheerful personality (this is very important for integrating into the NBA circle) are fully displayed. The disadvantage is that his physical fitness and the subsequent rebound protection, counter-position positioning and even steps seem short of breath, which is the focus of future training. After two battles, it at least proved that the Trail Blazers did not misunderstand. When Yang Hansen was in the NBA situation (even Xia Lian), he was able to show his charming qualities.

As for the current shortcomings, it is the direction for him and the team to work together in the future.

Let’s talk about the advantages first.

By the teacher, the league now attaches great importance to big men who can play hand-handed in high positions, dominate the ball, and have a certain shot.

Everyone knows that the possibility of a second player like Gundam in history is very slim, but even if you don’t have the teacher’s ability to find a lottery ticket, you are very down-to-earth in your hands.

Now, the Kings introduced Xiao Sa to play third in the West for a time, and the Rockets also scrapped Shin Kyung from the 16th pick in the first round of 2022.

Yang Hansen's style model is similar to the above two people, but no one can tell at present how much ability can be developed.

Among this type of player, the most iconic ones are the ball quotient and dominant ball (that is, the passing moment).

This is originally a high-level skill in the ability system. In the 80-year history, many players can become legends even without this skill.

Take the small forward position as an example. You say that Durant and Leonard can attack and defend in their careers, and in the end they are both champions + fmvp, but what is the difference between LeBron and Bird, the two best players in this position, LeBron and Bird, to put it bluntly, they can dominate the ball ability as the core of the championship system.

When they won the championship, they were both in the system of Spurs, Raptors, and Warriors with high-level point guards (Parker, Lowry, Curry), and the one-on-one ability on both offense and defense was the most needed.

When it comes to the center position, passing is not a core skill. In history, Chamberlain, Tiangou, and the four major centers in the 1990s even include Yao Ming and Howard. The real value lies in their ability to offense and defense in the penalty area. It is good that the center can pass the ball, but before that, you must be a giant with sufficient abilities or strengths on both offense and defense.

Until Jokic's appearance.

Before meeting with the teacher, it was probably only Mr. Bill Walton who was good at passing and played in the league with his ability to pass the ball (so coincidentally, he was also a Trail Blazers).

But with the pursuit of extreme space and efficiency in this era, the ability standards for allowing big men to stay on the field have changed dramatically.

NBA nowadays If you are just big, have good defense, can grab boards and block shots, then your upper limit is four DPOY Gobert, which can ensure the team's top six in the regular season, and then as soon as you enter the playoffs, you will be beaten as a sandbag.

If you can hand in hand at a high position, play pick-and-roll with outside players, can shoot three-pointers, and even send some cool assist passes, congratulations, you are the most envious player in the management of NBA teams now.

And Yang Hansen in these two games has shown this set of highest-level skills.

He deals cards at the top of the arc. This is the famous skill of Teacher Gou and Teacher Green, and it is also the most advantageous weapon for daily assists.

He directly pushed, offense and defense to help his teammates make a layup, which looks very similar to Gösol at the peak of the Lakers.

He can also hand over the top of the arc with his teammates, which tests his position and the angle of holding the ball.

He is still a little restrained in many aspects, and is not even mentally prepared for the NBA-level confrontation (after all, in the Xia Lian stadium, most of them are players who work hard for a short contract).

But there are several moments in each game as people show that he is the smartest and highest-limited player on the court.

To be honest, the draft is the possibility of choosing, the future is the future, and the expectation is the value.

Even if the Mavericks who won Flag, they don’t know how much actual bonus the No. 1 pick can give the team in the new season.

But how wonderful the future is, with the son of the United States in your hand, you will only know that this kind of bright future is experienced.

Now Trail Blazers coach Billups is probably also happily conceived in his heart how Yang Hansen plays pick-and-roll with Avdia, helps fly Kamara, Sharp and other jumping men, and can even play double towers with Kangda champion center Flag.

I can make him like this, this, and this feeling of having infinite possibilities is great.

Of course, there are still disadvantages.

He is obviously not used to the back-to-back game mode. Compared to yesterday's Warriors, his game energy and activity have dropped significantly.

He is not even able to do some basic work, such as how to coordinate the balance between protecting the basket and grabbing the board.

He said before that NBA is more civilized than CBA, but it refers more to the roughness of the movements than the rhythm of the game. When he really enters the regular season level, it is still difficult to say whether he can keep up..

His body has not reached the NBA level yet. He needs to continue to pull his heart and lungs, increase his muscles and grow muscles, so that he can get his opponent behind him, withstand the impact of lightning tops such as Morant and Mitchell, and play his role in the game in a fast round trip. The cultivation cycle of the giant is extremely long, especially for a young man who has been in the low-level league environment of the world before, it is even more obstacles and long.

Fortunately, Yang Hansen is still young and is still in the growth stage of his career. He can fully absorb all the nutrients given by the outside world like a sponge, and quickly hone in a high-level league to realize his immediate combat power.

I heard that he will come back to participate in the Asian Cup in August, which is really incomprehensible. It seems that many people have forgotten the lessons learned by Yao Ming back then.

There was an old saying before, "If you go out, don't come back." For Yang Hansen, it is best to change

, since you are gone out, don't come back if you don't come back.

Finally, Jokic and Shin Kyung's summer league data were attached:

Jokic (15-16 season) averaged 21 minutes per game, contributed 8.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 45.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 28.6%.

Shen Kyung (22-23 season) averaged 26 minutes per game, contributed 18.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 4.0 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 45.8%.

Come on, Yang Hansen!
