The Asian Cup of Men's Basketball Team will arrive as scheduled in August, and the Chinese men's basketball team has suffered a large-scale injury, and the main center Zhou Qi has relapsed due to an old injury. His lumbar disc herniation will greatly affect his economic status. Whether it can catch up with the Asian Cup is still unknown. Even if he returns in a hurry, he may not be able to perform well. At such a critical moment, can Yang Hansen return to China to assist the Chinese men's basketball team? This has become a topic that fans are paying great attention to.

According to the report of senior media person Fu Zhenghao, Yang Hansen gave up his last summer league game and will return to China to prepare for this year's men's basketball Asian Cup.

As the rookie selected by the Trail Blazers with the 16th pick in the first round of 2025, Yang Hansen became the third Chinese player to debut in the first round of the NBA, and his attention is also at its peak. Judging from the summer contacts he played in the first four games, he averaged 10.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.3 blocks per game. He can be said to be an all-round offense and defense, both inside and outside, and his organizational connection, inside strong attack, and three-point franchise protection are well demonstrated.

Fu Zhenghao revealed that the Trail Blazers coaching staff was very satisfied with Yang Hansen's performance in the summer league and had seen the ability they wanted to see in Yang Hansen. Perhaps because of this, Yang Hansen was able to choose not to play the last summer league game and then return to China to participate in the Asian Cup of the Men's Basketball Team in August.

In this summer's offseason, the Trail Blazers bought out No. 1 center Ayton and selected all-round inside Yang Hansen in the draft. We can see the team's intention, which is to cultivate an all-round insider in the new era. Then in the summer league, we also saw the Trail Blazers coaching staff let Yang Hansen as the tactical core, giving more ball rights to test his ball-holding organizational tandem ability. Yang Hansen really seized this opportunity and perfectly demonstrated his talent.

NBA Summer League has been in progress for some time. ESPN commented on Yang Hansen's performance, believing that this is the most fascinating rookie. The global blocks are excellent, but the rebounding ability still needs to be strengthened.

Of course, there are other comments, just as NBA reporter Meng Chao believes that Yang Hansen is too mature, stable, and relaxed, and has no burden at all, which is inconsistent with his age; the US media's surprise to Yang Hansen is 150%, and they have no expectations for him.

According to the schedule, the Chinese men's basketball team will continue to play the warm-up match on July 24, and its opponent is the Venezuelan men's basketball team; it will not be until 23 pm on August 5th before the main match of the men's basketball team in the Asian Cup, when the Chinese men's basketball team's opponent is the Saudi Arabian men's basketball team.

Once Zhou Qi cannot come back as scheduled, Yang Hansen, as the inside, will be under great pressure on both offense and defense. Although he performed well in the summer league, there are still some problems, such as his physical fitness needs to be supplemented. In the second game of the summer league, Yang Hansen's physical strength showed a significant decline. For some time periods, his legs were out of control, and his performance in defense and rebounding would also plummet.

In this way, the coaching team of the Chinese men's basketball team and Yang Hansen's agent team must prescribe the right medicine to solve the problems that broke out in the second couplet.

But no matter what, 20-year-old Yang Hansen has slowly emerged and he has a bright future in the NBA. Heat legend Wade even said that Yang Hansen reminded him of Wang Zhizhi, who can pass the ball, feel the touch, and is very smart. The

The Blazers' lineup is still good, and Yang Hansen will be more worth looking forward to in the new season; but it still has to take one step at a time, just like Jokic, there will be new progress every year before he can truly grow into an NBA superstar.
