Yang Hansen Observation | Exclusive Trail Blazers Summer League cover has sparked heated discussions. Should the men s basketball national team recruit him to play in the Asian Cup?

Yang Hansen's exclusive account of the Trail Blazers Summer League cover has sparked heated discussions from the outside world, especially according to the schedule, the Trail Blazers' summer league schedule is 11:00 on July 12 against the Warriors; 10:30 on July 13 against the Grizzlies; 10:30 on July 16 against the Pelicans; and 8:00 on July 18 against the Rockets. The qualifying match on July 19 is in a pending state. This also means that Yang Hansen will spend the next 1-2 weeks at the Trail Blazers training camp to prepare for various summer league competition tasks.

In contrast, the Chinese men's basketball team played in the Asian Cup from August 5 to August 17. The two schedules are relatively staggered. If Yang Hansen improves himself through various training and competitions for two months in the United States and returns to the men's basketball national team, he may improve his strength in the inside. Does the Chinese men's basketball team regard Yang Hansen as an indispensable part?

The Chinese men's basketball team has been training for one month since mid-June. There are two core players in the interior, Zhou Qi and Hu Jinqiu, which basically meets Guo Shiqiang's needs, not to mention that Yu Jiahao, a young insider, is in charge. He also needs time and opportunity to realize his talents.

Combined with the beginning of this year and Guo Shiqiang's past employment habits, Yang Hansen has not yet reached the influence of the game at Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian level, and it is highly likely that he will not be the absolute core positioning. Although Zhou Qi is not an inside player in the world basketball world, it is still quite convincing that Zhou Qi maintains health in the Asian Cup level.

Without naturalized players taking over, even if the core lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team remains absolutely healthy, it is very difficult to win the championship. Except for Australia, it is difficult to cross the mountains, the strength of teams such as Japan, Lebanon, and Iran cannot be underestimated.

Is it necessary to recruit Yang Hansen at this time?

Perhaps many fans have seen that Yang Hansen can be selected at the 16th pick. He has proven to be the most talented and potential inside player in this NBA draft, but it does not mean that he has achieved absolute real-time combat effectiveness. As he mentioned, his defensive pick-and-roll, movement, and shooting stability need to be improved.

If Yang Hansen's playing time is less than 25 minutes in terms of the positioning of the Chinese men's basketball coaching staff, he will not have much guaranteed ball rights and tactical status. It is better to focus on the existing personnel framework. After at least more than one month of running-in and adjustment, all aspects are more prepared, and Guo Shiqiang can also give some new young players opportunities.

Since the incident of Wang Zhizhi's failure to return, how Chinese NBA players balance personal development with national team games has always been the focus of attention from the outside world.

More representative is that Bater in 2003 and Sun Yue in 2009 were both in a state of winning the championship with the team and expiring the contract. The team they were in clearly expressed their hope that they could stay in systematic training and represent the team in the summer league, but both of them returned to China without hesitation, resulting in the end of their relationship with the team.

As the first Chinese player to officially enter the NBA, Dazhi's reluctance incident that he caused was still the focus of discussion among major media.

Yao Ming's situation is also relatively close. Many American media accused the Chinese men's basketball team of recruiting Yao Ming every summer, causing her health to be too exhausted. Cui Dalin, who was then deputy director of the General Administration and in charge of Olympic preparations, angrily criticized the Rockets for blindly making Yao Ming gain weight and the Rockets overdrawing Yao Ming's health. At the end of February 2008, when the Rockets were in a row of winning streak (finally completing 22 consecutive wins), Yao Ming suffered a stress fracture, resulting in a season reimbursement. At that time, less than half a year has passed since the Beijing Olympics.

Yao Ming revealed in a public interview: No matter what the cost is, his remarks that he must play in the Olympics are still vivid in his mind, and may be an important reason why Yao Ming had no choice to retire at the golden age of 31.
