On October 23, in the NBA regular season, the Trail Blazers lost to the Timberwolves 114-118 at home.

In this game, Yang Hansen got a chance to play in the first quarter and scored his first career point in the second quarter, but did not play again in the second half.

Yang Hansen played for 5 minutes and 16 seconds, making 0 of 1 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, 2 points and 1 rebound, and 1 foul, with a plus-minus value of -5.

After the game, media person @海jun's blue commented. The original text is as follows:

I am personally quite satisfied with Hexion's debut. Although it exposed deficiencies on the defensive end, overall it did not hold the team back, nor did it show that it was at a loss to be separated from the team and the game. It was also a good start to score the first point of his career by making two free throws.

As a yellow center who does not play the mainstream style of the NBA, and is still a rookie, it is quite good to score points in the first game of his career. There is no need to worry too much that Xiao Yang only played for 5 minutes. After all, the Trail Blazers used five small lineups in the first three quarters to open up the situation and lead the score. In this case, Xiao Yang, whose defensive footwork will suffer, will not be allowed to play for too long.

Although I am a die-hard Hexion fan, I have been emphasizing that everyone should not have too many unrealistic illusions about Hexion's first season. It is better to lower expectations first and it will bring surprises to everyone. Hexion has its advantages and room for improvement, but it also has shortcomings that are not in line with the trend of the modern NBA. Therefore, we take a long-term view of Hexion's future development. Don't stick to one game or one game, as long as we keep improving every day.
