This time, Yang Yi really came to the point. Du Feng s guidance of the closed disciples is expected to be the biggest beneficiaries

When Yang Hansen was selected by the NBA Trail Blazers with the 16th pick in the first round, Yang Hansen's team expressed patriotism while thanking the fans for their support. Yang Hansen's agent team made it clear that as long as the Chinese men's basketball team needs it, Yang Hansen will definitely return to China to participate in the competition without hesitation. This responsibility to the national team is admirable. It is this expression that has aroused heated discussion among fans. After all, after Yao Ming stepped down, the national team returned to the recruitment system from the previous invitation system. Perhaps it is the limitation of this system. Even if Yang Hansen is still a substitute in the national team, he may inevitably return to the team in time during the Asian Cup.

For this, Yang Yi, who has always been mocked by fans as a prediction, was often slapped in the face, also stood up and spoke. Yang Yi, a well-known basketball commentator, publicly stated that Yang Hansen should not be recruited again. On the one hand, the Asian Cup has nothing to do with the World Cup and the Olympics, and it is not a game that must be played; on the other hand, Yang Hansen has undergone high-intensity trial training in the United States in the past two months, and has consumed a lot of physical strength and energy. He also needs to prepare for the summer league, so it is best to give him enough rest and adjust time. This time, Yang Yi really came to the point. In fact, for the Asian Cup, there is no need to prove that the Asian men's basketball team is at the risk of injury to prove that they are the strongest team in Asia; furthermore, with the addition of Australia and New Zealand, even if Yang Hansen returns, the Chinese men's basketball team may not be the opponent of strong teams such as Australia. It is better to boldly lead the new with the old and let the team enter the World Cup and Olympic preparation mode in advance even if the Chinese men's basketball team does not get a better ranking. I believe fans can understand and support it even if they do not get a better ranking.

In addition, from Yang Hansen's perspective, in order to prepare for this NBA draft, he arrived in the United States as early as May 4 to start special training. First, he participated in the 2025 NBA joint trial in Chicago from May 11-18, and then he accepted an invitation from 14 teams to a separate trial. Such a high-intensity and fast-paced trial process is a great test for Yang Hansen's physical fitness and energy. And after the draft, he will soon be in the summer league again. Yang Hansen's schedule in recent times can be said to be at full capacity. Although Yang Hansen is currently the No. 16 rookie of the Trail Blazers, it is not easy for the team to gain a foothold. In addition to the fierce internal competition of the team, the NBA's game pace is fast and the confrontation is fierce. The speed of improving Yang Hansen is crucial for him to better adapt to the NBA arena and gain a foothold. Therefore, August is an extremely valuable period of rest and adjustment for Yang Hansen. He can use this time to conduct systematic training, especially for improving his own speed.

Therefore, Yang Yi's suggestions this time are very worthy of acceptance and adoption.

In addition, for the Chinese men's basketball team, in addition to Yang Hansen, the team currently has Zhou Qi, the first inside player in the country, the league champion winner Hu Jinqiu, and the young Yu Jiahao and the close disciple Xu Xin, directed by Du Feng, four inside players are enough to deal with the Asian Cup. Zhou Qi and Hu Jinqiu are both in their years of playing. Yu Jiahao has participated in the national training team continuously and has played several national team competitions as a substitute. Although he moves slowly, he has the advantage of height and is more than enough as a substitute. If you need to add your inside strength, Li Yanzhe, who was called up last time and performed well in the league, is also good, at least he will not suffer any losses in the inside confrontation. Generally speaking, four inside players on the national team's 12-man roster are enough. Therefore, in order to avoid Yang Hansen repeating the mistake of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi playing back and forth in the NBA and playing for the national team, and playing physically overdrawing, it is also a better protection for Yang Hansen's future career. It is better not to recall Yang Hansen for this event as much as possible.

Although this makes coach Guo Shiqiang a little embarrassed, after all, it is hard to cook without rice. Since the inside rotation recruits Guangdong team Xu Xin into the national team, he should adapt to the intensity of the national team's game as soon as possible. After all, Xu Xin is 226cm tall, and the age of 21 is the best time to get a ball. Although he has no presence in the first two years of the CBA, his progress in the past two seasons is still quite obvious. Once he increases his strength to fight, his rim protection and second offense at the basket are still very threatening. Although Xu Xin did not get much playing time in the regular season last season, Xu Xin's playing time gradually increased in the key playoffs, especially in the match against Shanxi, played 19 minutes from 12 minutes to the last game. This shows that coach Du Feng is gradually tapping Xu Xin's potential. In such an important game, the heavy responsibility of the inside is given to a young player who is only 21 years old and does not have much experience in the competition to stand alone. It can be seen that Xu Xin still has great potential to tap.

I hope that as the head coach of the national team, the coach of Guo Shiqiang, can follow Teacher Yang Yi's advice this time, and never recall Yang Hansen. Try to let the young Xu Xin play more, and may become the next Chinese player to enter the NBA.
