Yang Hansen played like crazy, a ball that was proud of him

Yang Hansen’s performance in the first and second preseason games perfectly explained one word, suppress first and then improve.

In the first game, Yang Hansen played very hard and was at a loss in the fast-paced game. In the end, he only had 4 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, made 4 turnovers, and left the game with 6 fouls. Yang Hansen's problem with foul control has continued into the first quarter today.

In the first quarter today, Yang Hansen was taught a lesson by Sabonis. He caught Yang Hansen off guard with a European step and lost 2+1. Yang Hansen committed three fouls in just over three minutes after coming on. The explosive power of the fouls was astonishing. Of course, he committed his third foul and blocked Eubanks' ball from the basket. I personally think it was a good shot.

But in the final analysis, Yang Hansen's ability to control fouls is too lacking. This has a lot to do with his playing habits. The same defensive action may be blocked in the CBA league, but in the NBA it is a foul and the opponent can still score. The gap in league level and the gap in opponent strength have caused Yang Hansen to need a long game time to adapt to this gap.

After three fouls in the first quarter, I was actually prepared for Yang Hansen to still be sluggish in the game. Unexpectedly, in the second half, Yang Hansen directly gave all the fans a big one. It all came from the three-pointer that Saric made against him.

Saric made an open three-pointer in front of Yang Hansen. Avdija caught the ball to speed up. Yang Hansen had already been ambushing at the baseline. Avdija accurately found Yang Hansen. Xiao Yang received the ball and made a decisive three-pointer, hitting the target with one hit! Yang Hansen's first three-pointer of the preseason came.

In the next round, the broadcast camera didn't catch up. Yang Hansen scored another three-pointer, also assisted by Avdija. Yang Hansen's two three-pointers completely opened up his confidence, and the rest of the game went smoothly. The transition attack caught the ball and hit Eubanks for a layup.

The next goal can be said to be the most exciting round since Yang Hansen was drafted. He feinted the ball from outside the three-point line, called out Eubanks, dribbled behind his back and turned around to trick Eubanks. He used his size and wingspan to hit another layup, and the whole audience was excited!

In the first half, Eubanks became excited just looking at Xiao Yang and wanted to play singles. In the second half, Xiao Yang returned all the breath he was holding back to Eubanks, using all his offensive talents to completely defeat his opponent.

In the third quarter, Yang Hansen scored 14 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in a single quarter. He made 5 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and made all four free throws today. On the one hand, Yang Hansen's own confidence has improved and he has become more comfortable on the court. On the other hand, he must also thank the coaching staff for their trust.

In the third quarter, Yang Hansen has always been in his most comfortable position, that is, launching attacks from the top of the arc, helping the Blazers open up the offensive space. When Yang Hansen made a three-pointer, the opponent did not dare to let go of his shot. When he stood on the top line, the air-cutting opportunity came from the bottom line. Yang Hansen's only assist today was passed to Sharp, who cut to the baseline, and the latter dunked very comfortably.

Today, Yang Hansen showed off all the skills he is good at, including three-point shooting, the talent for independent offense, and the ability to link up attacks. Of course, he also blocked 3 shots on the defensive end, one of which was to cut off LaVine's fast break layup, which proves that Yang Hansen's defensive foundation is good, but now he is just not used to it.

Whether it is shooting or series connection, these are things that the Blazers' starting center Klingen does not have. This is also the main reason why the Blazers selected Yang Hansen. The coaching staff gave Yang Hansen 100% trust. In the third quarter, Yang Hansen played with the starting lineup and gave him a certain tactical low position. Yang Hansen played very well.

Yang Hansen's position in the Trail Blazers is similar to a top assistant. He needs passers like Avdija to pass the ball to him. He can also create opportunities for air-cutting masters like Sharp. Playing with high-level people will make Yang Hansen feel more comfortable.

Of course, Yang Hansen has to fight for all of this by himself, seize every opportunity to deal cards at the top of the arc, seize every opportunity to shoot open three-pointers, and repay every trust Billups has in him, just like what he did today.

Everyone was happy with today's goal. Yang Hansen was really proud of himself and slapped the faces of those who were sarcastic after the first game. The Trail Blazers coaching staff may be the most patient team with Yang Hansen in the world right now, and we should have the same patience and expectations for Yang Hansen.

After watching this game, Klingen, who left the game early due to his fifth foul in the third quarter, was already sweating.
