Violent buckle 2.16 meters Giant, Yang Hansen received Jokic privileges, physical fitness exposed youth training shortcomings

In the summer league in Las Vegas, Yang Hansen successfully shocked the entire basketball world with a domineering dunk. At this moment, the Trail Blazers official quickly transformed into a poster. Fans around the world forwarded and discussed it hotly, and the number of viewers in the live broadcast room soared to nine million - such popularity is rare in a summer league. However, behind this carnival, Yang Hansen's ten-five rebounds and three assists truly reveals the struggles and dreams at the top of Chinese basketball. The game ended in the second half. Yang Hansen won the attention of many viewers in the first half with his dexterous footsteps and strong dunks, but due to his lack of physical fitness, he gradually became a supporting role in the second half. The Grizzlies easily broke through his defense from the frontcourt, and frequent mistakes made his performance dull. He scored only two points in the final quarter, and he seemed listless. The Trail Blazers coaching staff had to reduce his time on the court and be as careful as protecting treasures. This situation is exactly the same as many Chinese players' experiences in the NBA, and often sways between exciting and disappointing, and is always a little bit short of time.

Despite this, Yang Hansen's existence is a unique individual, and he seems to be breaking the survival shackles of traditional Chinese inside players. Zhou Qi is working hard to get more opportunities to play and does his best to improve himself in three-point shooting and defense. He has now become an important part of the Trail Blazers tactical system, with averaging up to 42 touches per game, of which 18 are used for pick-and-roll cooperation, and can accurately send 3 assists, significantly helping his teammates score, and even going deep into the overall organization and dispatch of the team like Jokic.

Even American journalists were amazed by Yang Hansen's performance in the summer league, saying that he made his opponent's defensive strategy mess. What is even more impressive is his mental resilience. He can still face it with a smile when he encounters a foul and respond with a dunk. This fearless fighting spirit is precisely the precious trait that Chinese players lack in the NBA arena.

However, the real test has just begun. The Grizzlies have already carried out strategic defense and double-teaming against him. The NBA's regular season intensity is undoubtedly three times that of the summer league. In terms of physical fitness, Yang Hansen obviously has shortcomings, which is like a potential hidden danger; the slow-paced breathing habit he formed in the CBA seems so out of place in high-intensity games like the NBA.

What's even more serious is that when netizens discussed whether Yang Hansen could surpass Zhou Qi, the data ruthlessly showed that Zhou Qi scored 17 points and 6 rebounds in the first game of the summer league, with a three-point shooting percentage of up to 55.6%; while Yang Hansen made four three-pointers in two games, but none of them could hit.

Yang Hansen's dazzling dunk was actually a regret that Chinese basketball passed by the world's top level again. We should not fantasize about someone being the next Yao Ming because of the momentary dunk craze, nor should we underestimate their future development potential because of the rebounding defeat. The surprise expression of Trail Blazers head coach Billups when he learned that four million people were watching the summer league was just reflected - this young Oriental player not only shoulders personal success or failure, but also a country's firm pursuit of basketball's right to speak.

Where is the upper limit of Yang Hansen? Will he become the next Zhou Qi to be eliminated by the NBA? Or can it completely break the curse of China's inside line? When physical fitness and three-pointers become fatal shortcomings, should Chinese basketball reflect on the root cause of its disconnection between its youth training system and international level?
