Chinese players rookie scores are released; Yang Hansen surpassed Jokic and Curry in 70, No. 1 pick Flag 82

The number will not lie: James is only 78 points in his first place, Curry is 69 points, Jokic is 68 points, Antetokounmpo is 60 points, Gobert is 52 points - and the Chinese young player Yang Hansen scores 70 points, which is even higher than the starting point of the three MVPs.

"74 points? 73 points?" Yang Hansen stared at the score card in the hands of the 2K manager Ronnie, half-jokingly guessing his initial ability value of 2K26. When the card was revealed, the number "70" was revealed, the Chinese rookie grinned and said, "At least guessed the first number correctly."

Ronnie followed suit: "What do you want to be the ability value at the end of the season?" Yang Hansen's answer showed his humorous nature: "Don't just drop it." There were bursts of laughter on the spot.

Yang Hansen quickly adapted to NBA

NBA 2K series director Ronnie made a special meeting with Yang Hansen and staged this fun rating announcement ceremony. Ronnie started the show and teased Yang Hansen's interview at the Trail Blazers welcome conference, claiming that he "loves the most to eat, sleep and play PS5", instantly revitalizing the atmosphere on the scene.

When the 70-point score was announced, the on-the-spot reaction of the rookie with the 7th pick in the first round was a big hit. He responded with a witty response of "at least guess the first number correctly" to easily resolve the embarrassment of low score expectations.

Ronny showed humor for the third time and gave Yang Hansen a NBA 2K26 physical game box, but it turned out to be empty inside. "The game is not done yet," Ronnie explained with a smile, "It will take about 6-8 weeks, but I promise to get you the starting version!"

No. 1 Flagge's rookie score surpasses James

This year's rookie score No. 1 Cooper Flagge scored an astonishing 82 points, second only to Wenban Yama's 84 points in the 2K rookie history ranking list, and beat Wall, Zion, Irving and other top picks 81 points.

When the lens is extended to a twenty-year span, the phenomenon of scoring inflation is coming to mind. When James, the Pride of Heaven first entered the league in 2003, his score was only 78 points. What is even more shocking is that the rookie season ratings of the superstars who dominate the league are now "shocking":

Jokic scored 68 points in 2015, Curry scored 69 points in rookie year, and Antetokounmpo only started with 60 points. Gober's 52 points became a low-scoring legend.

Horizontal comparison of Chinese seniors, Yao Ming’s rookie scored 78 points, Yi Jianlian scored 76 points, and Zhou Qi scored 69 points. Although Yang Hansen's starting point of 70 points is not amazing, it has surpassed the initial scores of many historical insiders.

Looking forward to Yang Hansen's performance this season; at the Trail Blazers Fan Forum, discussions on the 70-point rating are booming. A senior player pointed out: "The potential growth value of the center position is more important than the initial score, and certain tendency parameters must not be too high." Another fan bluntly said: "Most the mid-round rookies in the first round are in the range of 70-75, and this score is reasonable."

Throughout history, there are many growth trajectories of superstars who open low and end high. Antetokounmpo scored from 60 to 97, and Jokic grew from 68 to the top of the list for many years. As the fans said: "The initial score is an impression score, and the score at the end of the season will be true."

Yang Hansen always smiles in front of the camera. This young center is well versed in the way of survival in the NBA - game ratings will eventually be redefined by real performance in the field.
