At present, all four games of the Trail Blazers NBA preseason have ended. In the final game, the Trail Blazers failed to defeat the Jazz and suffered a losing streak. Yang Hansen only scored 3 points and suffered six fouls. After being sent off in the first game, he was sent off again in the fourth quarter. From the footage taken by the fans at the scene, we can see that Yang Hansen, who was sitting on the bench at the time, burst into tears. For Xiao Yang, this rookie class was too heavy.

Looking back at this game, Yang Hansen actually played very hard and passively. On the one hand, because the Jazz's interior twin towers are experienced and performed very strongly, Yang Hansen played very hard. On the other hand, it is also because the team did not develop rich tactics around him, and several of his teammates are very independent. Yang Hansen can only keep running back and forth on the court without many opportunities to take action. This also caused him to have a very difficult time in this game, and his statistics were not good-looking.

In addition, Yang Hansen probably still hasn't adapted to the NBA's penalty standards, so every time he feels the slightest bit, he gets whistled off by the referee, which probably makes him struggle a lot internally. So after six fouls were sent off in the fourth quarter, Yang Hansen was sitting on the bench, his face turned red, he felt like crying, and he kept wiping his face with a towel.

But what we want to say is that Yang Hansen was not beaten to tears in this game, but he had the fighting spirit in his heart and had high demands on himself. So this time he did not help the team achieve good results and did not show courage. He may feel quite sad and have some regrets in his heart. But for all young NBA players, this is homework he must do. As long as he is willing to work hard enough in the new season, I believe Yang Hansen will definitely win it back next time.

And this time, the reason why the Jazz's two major centers targeted Yang Hansen was because he had performed very well in the previous games, so he became the target of the opponent's focus. This just proves that Yang Hansen has potential and a future, because only if you pose a threat to the other party, others will take you seriously. So there is no need to be too sad for Yang Hansen, because the days ahead are still long. The regular season will start again in a few days, and he will continue to face All-Star centers like Jokic, and will encounter many difficulties.

In other words, this game against the Jazz is not the most difficult. So in response to the problems that arise in this game, Yang Hansen needs to improve himself on how to adjust himself, how to improve his physical fitness, and how to do a good job of rebounding.

Some fans may wonder why the head coach did not formulate tactics for Yang Hansen? In fact, all All-Star centers have to do these blue-collar jobs well before they become the core of the team, helping their big brother to share the dirty work. After doing these most basic things well, you can then gradually gain more possession of the ball. Nothing can be rushed.
