On October 23, the NBA regular season was in full swing. The Trail Blazers had a fierce battle with the Timberwolves at home, and ultimately lost 114-118. In this game, the much-anticipated Chinese player Yang Hansen made his regular season debut. Although his performance opportunities were limited, every move he made touched the hearts of fans.

Yang Hansen played for 5 minutes and 16 seconds in this campaign. He missed 1 shot in the game, but made 2 of 2 free throws, scored 2 points, 1 rebound, and committed 1 foul. The plus-minus value was -5. He failed to get a chance to play in the second half. Although the data is not eye-catching, for a rookie who is debuting on the regular season stage, every second is extremely precious.

After the game, Yang Hansen accepted interviews with reporters calmly, showing maturity and humility beyond his age. Talking about the experience of being dunked during the game, he said bluntly: "I feel that I still need to improve my positioning, and I have to work hard to summarize my shortcomings." This attitude of facing problems head-on and actively reflecting is undoubtedly a valuable quality on his growth path. Although it is a bit regretful that he was detained, he can quickly find the reasons for the failure, which will be of great benefit to his future development.

Talking about the mood of being on the bench, Yang Hansen said: "I think as a rookie, you should always be prepared. If your big brothers play well, you should cheer for them." This not only reflects his support and team spirit for his teammates, but also reflects his clear understanding of his role as a rookie. In an NBA arena filled with experts, rookies need to endure loneliness, stay focused at all times, and wait for their own opportunities.

Talking about his feelings after the regular season debut, Yang Hansen said with emotion: "This is a new experience, a new league, a new intensity. I need to adapt and find my own shortcomings." As the top league in the basketball world, the NBA's game intensity and rhythm are far from comparable to other events. Yang Hansen is well aware of this and understands that he needs time to adapt. This clear understanding of himself will help him integrate into this new environment faster.

According to the schedule, the Trail Blazers' next game will be against the Warriors at 10 a.m. on October 25. For Yang Hansen, this is both a new challenge and a new opportunity. Perhaps in the matchup with the Warriors, he can get more playing time and show his progress. In any case, Yang Hansen's NBA journey has just begun, and the regret of his debut is just a blip on the road to growth. I believe that in future games, he can continue to adapt and improve, and bring more surprises to the fans. Let us pay attention to Yang Hansen's performance in subsequent games and look forward to him shining on the NBA court.
