Shining out the NBA Summer League in 23 minutes! Yang Hansen s debut data exploded, the future is promising, US media praised it

On the stage of the NBA Summer League, a basketball star from China is emerging. On July 12, 2025, Yang Hansen made his debut on behalf of the Portland Trail Blazers. This game is not only the starting point of his personal career, but also an important step for Chinese basketball to move to the international stage. In the

, Yang Hansen's performance was remarkable. He played for 23 minutes and 35 seconds, with a plus-negative value of up to +19, the second highest in the game, scoring 10 points efficiently, and has a stable performance of 3 of 7 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. In addition, he also contributed comprehensive statistics of 4 rebounds, 5 assists (the highest team), 3 blocks (the highest team) and 1 steal. These figures not only show his balance in scoring, rebounding, assists and defense, but also prove his influence in the game.

Yang Hansen's technical highlights were particularly prominent in the competition. In the first leg of the game, he served Sissoko at the top of the arc and assisted with an all-dunk, and his Jokic-style vision was eye-catching. Throughout the game, he sent out replay-level wonderful passes many times, and whether it was high and low line connections or breakthrough passes, he dominated the team's offensive rhythm. On the offensive end, he showed diversity, able to make three-pointers long shots, and able to turn around and break through and make a layup with low hands. When defending, he was full of deterrence. Three blocks were filled with accurate predictions, and one of them was a big hat that responded to the opponent's provocation. Facing the push from Warriors player Rowe, he responded with a smile, and then blocked the shot, showing strong psychological qualities.

Although his debut was excellent, Yang Hansen also exposed some problems. He made 3 turnovers and 6 fouls, which shows that he still has shortcomings in adapting to the pace of NBA games and the intensity of the confrontation. However, his learning ability and calmness in the competition make people feel confident about his future. Head coach Billups praised his ball business and passability, and compared him to the Trail Blazer legend Sabonis; US media also put the term "China Jokic" on a hot search, and his passing highlights were officially forwarded by the NBA, which is enough to show the outside world's recognition of his potential. Looking to the future, Yang Hansen has clear goals and challenges. In the short term, in the game against the Grizzlies on July 13, he needs to improve his foul control and physical distribution. At the same time, it may represent the Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian Cup in August, and the intensive schedule will be a great test for his physical fitness and condition.
