6:54pm, 13 July 2025【Basketball】

At 10:30 on July 13, Yang Hansen will usher in his second game, and the Trail Blazers will face the Memphis Grizzlies back-to-back. The Trail Blazers started off with a 106-73 win over the Golden State Warriors today. Yang Hansen scored 10 points, 5 assists, 4 rebounds, and 3 blocks. Such a debut was like his draft, and Trail Blazers reporter Highkin wrote on social media before the game was over: "This is far beyond my expectations for Yang Hansen's first game."

But next, Yang Hansen will experience his first back-to-back game. He performed well, but his physical fitness was slightly insufficient. In an interview after the game, he said that the pace of the NBA was very fast. The Grizzlies who will face tomorrow are better in lineup than today's opponent Warriors. Although the Grizzlies lost to the Celtics 78-92, four players scored in double digits. There are many powerful players in the team, including GG Jackson, who made a name for himself in the NBA last season. He averaged 11.8 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, and is a stable rotation player in the Memphis camp. There is also first-year rookie Wells who also played in the summer league. The rookie who averaged 10.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game was even selected for the All-Rookie Team last season. Therefore, tomorrow's Trail Blazers' game is not easy to play.

And the most important thing is that Yang Hansen will face Bacott tomorrow. Although he was a undraft from North Carolina, he has a height of 211cm and a wingspan of 220cm and a weight of 111kg. He represented the Jazz in the NBA Summer League last year, and averaged 7.3 points, 5 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1 block. He shot 54.5% from the field and 66.7% from free throws.

He is strong and has a certain ability to protect the basket. The offensive efficiency at the basket is also good. Previously, in the NCAA field, Bacott played 37 times for the team, with averaging 30.4 minutes per game, with an average of 14.5 points, 10.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.5 blocks, a shooting percentage of 54%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 78.1%. It is an indispensable inside pillar of North Carolina.

It can be said that Yang Hansen only welcomes a truly tough opponent in the next game, hoping to continue his efficient performance. Especially back-to-back combat is a great test for his physical fitness, which is also the first step to adapt to high-intensity NBA games.
