With the end of the preseason, the NBA regular season is about to begin. According to the schedule, the NBA Trail Blazers will usher in their first regular season opener on October 23. The opponent is the Timberwolves, and CCTV5 will also broadcast it live. As this game is about to come, for Chinese fans, this game is still very concerned about Yang Hansen's performance.

In the first four preseason games, Yang Hansen's performance was quite satisfactory. Among them, he committed six fouls in the first game against the Warriors and the fourth game against the Jazz. In the last game, he even cried when he was sent off and sitting on the bench. Therefore, both the fans and Yang Hansen should have regrets. They hope to be able to make a splash in the regular season and perform well to prove themselves. Therefore, for Yang Hansen, this game is not only the opening game of the regular season where he needs to work hard to help the team get a good start, but also his battle for honor. He needs to prove that he has enough talent and potential to gain a foothold in the NBA.

Judging from the lineups of the two sides, the Timberwolves' most intimidating player should be their veteran center Gobert. This veteran player is also known as a strong defensive player. With his rich experience, he should be a huge challenge for Yang Hansen. After all, Yang Hansen has just arrived in the NBA and has not played a few official games. He has to face these very experienced old opponents from the beginning, and it is indeed easy to suffer losses on the court. Therefore, how the head coach should help Yang Hansen adjust in this game so that he can do better defensively and at the same time strive to score a certain amount of points is very critical.

In fact, Yang Hansen is a player. His technical characteristics are more suitable for the team's core play style. If you let him be a blue-collar player, it will be difficult to fully utilize his abilities. But when any NBA center first enters the game, he actually starts from a blue-collar role. Therefore, Yang Hansen must also adapt to these roles and do these tasks well before he can get more ball rights. In fact, in this game, the fans do not have high requirements for Yang Hansen. They try to strive for fewer fouls so that they can get more time to practice.

On the other hand, if you can score eight points, four rebounds and three assists in this game, it is actually quite good. To put it bluntly, for Yang Hansen, he can improve himself in the next two years. This is also the time given to him in the Blazers team contract. If he can perform well in these two years, he can continue to renew his contract in the future and shine in the NBA. We also hope that he will work hard and strive to achieve excellent results this season.
