In the NBA preseason, the Trail Blazers lost to the Warriors 111-118 after four quarters of fierce battle. In this game, Yang Hansen played for about 15 minutes and scored 9 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. Compared to his last game against the Kings, his statistics were definitely worse.

But the rebounding has indeed improved, because he had 4 rebounds in the first game and the second game against the Kings. However, Yang Hansen grabbed 6 rebounds in today's game. It can be said that rebounding has improved, and compared with the first game against the Warriors, Yang Hansen has also improved.

In the first quarter of this game, Yang Hansen grabbed 3 rebounds and scored 2 points in about four minutes. It should be said that the first quarter was very good. In the second quarter, Yang Hansen scored 2 points and grabbed 3 rebounds. The performance in the second quarter was also good, with 4 points and 6 rebounds in the first half. In the second half, Yang Hansen hit a three-pointer in the third quarter. In addition, he did not score in the paint and had zero rebounds in the second half.

In fact, Yang Hansen's playing time in the second half was almost the same as that in the first half. Why did Yang Hansen not have a single rebound in the second half? This is a noteworthy issue. In the second half, it was obvious that Yang Hansen was physically exhausted. Yang Hansen did not rush for rebounds at all. There may be another reason for this, which is that Trail Blazers coach Billups hopes that Yang Hansen will do a good job of protecting the basket in the backcourt. This is Yang Hansen's main task.

So when Yang Hansen saw his teammate take a shot, he did not go to grab the rebound. Instead, he quickly turned back to the backcourt to protect the basket. Yang Hansen ran almost non-stop in the second half. Yang Hansen was physically exhausted in the second half. There was another problem, that is, he had too many help defenses. If his teammates found a loophole, he would go to help defense, and then turned back to defend and was so busy that he was out of breath.

After the game, Su Qun wrote an article looking forward to Yang Hansen's development in the new season. Su Qun first wrote: "It only takes a little time, ranging from 10 minutes to 20 minutes, and the average is about 15 minutes. At this point, Yang Hansen How many points can be scored depends on the tactical arrangement on the field. The Trail Blazers are a team driven by defenders and forwards, not centers. Although Yang Hansen has had good high-post support performance in the summer league and preseason, this will not happen. Becoming the Blazers' primary style of play, at least not yet, will limit Young's scoring numbers in his first season. "

Su Qun said that how many points Yang Hansen can score in just 15 minutes actually mainly depends on the team's tactics. The Trail Blazers are a team dominated by defenders and forwards, and the center's tactical status is not high. In other words, Yang Hansen has no tactical status in this team, so this will limit Yang Hansen's scoring data this season.

Su Qun continued: "Yang Hansen will hardly have high-position support arrangements in odd-numbered quarters, but whether there will be arrangements with bench players in even-numbered quarters depends on Billups. The regular season is mainly about winning and losing, especially after the Trail Blazers performed well in March this year. Billups has some ideas for this new season, so he will not regard cultivating Yang Hansen as his main job."

Su Qun analyzed that when Yang Hansen is with the main players during the game, there will be no special tactical arrangements. He can only be with the substitutes and have a tactical status. Besides, Puss has ideas about results, so Yang Hansen will not be the main player. , or give Yang Hansen a tactical position. From this point of view, Yang Hansen's prospects in the Trail Blazers are not optimistic. It depends on how Pus uses Yang Hansen. More importantly, it depends on whether Yang Hansen can seize opportunities and create opportunities. Let's wait and see what happens.
