Yang Hansen admitted his shortcomings, and the Trail Blazers assistant coach puts two requirements so that only by learning from senior Yao Ming can he stand firm in the NBA

In the fierce matchup in the summer league, the Portland Trail Blazers lost to the Memphis Grizzlies 86-96. In this game, Trail Blazers rookie Yang Hansen once again got the starting chance, ushering in the first back-to-back challenge of his career, serving as a member of the starting lineup for two consecutive games. During the 26-minute playing time, Yang Hansen showed comprehensive technical statistics: he made 4 goals with 8 shots, including 0 of 2 three-pointers, and 2 free throws at the free throw line, eventually contributing 10 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. However, the young player also suffered five turnovers and three fouls during the game, with a plus-minus value of +4, showing his struggle to adapt to the NBA's high-intensity confrontation.

Judging from the specific performance of the game, Yang Hansen undoubtedly showed his qualities as an all-round player. Whether it is the organizational connection on the offensive end or the active replacement on the defensive end, they all left a deep impression. But as a newcomer who debuted on the NBA stage, physical fitness problems have become a major bottleneck that restricts his performance. After the game, Yang Hansen frankly shared his feelings: "This back-to-back game was a brand new experience for me, and I really felt that I couldn't keep up with my physical strength. At some moments, I could hardly even feel my legs, which is an area that I must focus on improving next. At the same time, I also made some mistakes in today's game, such as the lack of active rebounding competition, which are places I need to strengthen urgently."

Fortunately, the Trail Blazers showed great patience and confidence in Yang Hansen, and were determined to invest resources to help him grow. Recently, the team has trained under the leadership of assistant coach Split, who was an outstanding center in the NBA with solid basic skills and rich game experience.

For the part that Yang Hansen needs to improve, Split gave a pertinent evaluation: "Yang Hansen has mentioned the challenges that back-to-back games bring to his physical fitness, which is a problem that all rookies will encounter when adapting to the NBA rhythm. He showed a good passing vision in the game, but obviously he still needs to adapt to the speed of the game here. We see Yang Hansen's talent and potential, he has an excellent feel, and we will fight side by side with him and work together. In a more systematic preparation training, help him grow faster. "

Try it, Yao Ming had just entered the NBA and was even thinner than Yang Hansen, but was teased by Barkley. The bamboo pole-shaped body was impossible to get 20+ at all. However, with disdainful efforts and subsequent weight gain and muscle gain, Barkley finally kissed the donkey's butt, which became a hot topic at the time. Yang Hansen called Yao Ming to learn from Uncle Yao, and asked Yao Ming to give some advice to provide reference for the future development of the NBA! Do you think Yang Hansen wants to call Yao Ming to try it?
