Yang Hansen fights with the Pelicans, let’s see what media from all walks of life say before the game? Three tall centers are blocking

On July 15, 2025, Yang Hansen played the third game of the summer league for the Trail Blazers, which will start on July 16. His opponent is the Pelicans, with three regular rotational insiders, which is very testable.

What do you think of the world media experts before the game?

US media: This is an unprecedented showdown, and it is a real test for Yang Hansen. He will face the battle between three wild beasts in the Pelicans inside. Missy was the second-team center of the rookie last season, and there was Quinn, the No. 13 pick this year, Dickinson, who was 218 cm tall. Yang Hansen had to face the cruel defensive rhythm of higher regular season levels.

European media: Yang Hansen's two games left a deep impression, averaging 10 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3 assists per game reached basic expectations, and dunked the Grizzlies' center, he saw a bloody center, who was very aggressive.

Australian media: Yang Hansen is very tall and has flexible footsteps and passing vision. He is a talented passer and he looks so much like Jokic. After letting Yang Hansen play the summer league, his mentality may completely adapt to the new game environment and his body will become stronger.

Asian media: Yang Hansen is still far from the level of regular rotation. He feels very strong now, and it is too early to face more trials of games. The current competition capacity is too small. After Yang Hansen plays the Pelicans, he may have a clearer positioning.

Canadian media: He has been underestimated, but he has slapped some experts in the face. Now Yang Hansen doesn't have to pay too much attention to the evaluation. He focuses on playing basketball, improves his skills and body muscle mass, is not afraid of confrontation, and it is okay to play a 15-minute rotation, and the premise is that he needs to pull up his physical fitness. He looks really tired.

Yang Hansen has performed reasonably in two consecutive games. From the offensive perspective, his ability to break through the ball, his ability to play singles in the face frame, and his ability to respond to the ball. From the defensive perspective, he has all been shown by the ability to protect the basket, block the cover, vertical jump reaction, and assisted defense. He is easy to be cheated and fouled. From a mentality perspective, Yang Hansen plays very calmly and has a very charming personality. He is determined to command the other four people and dares to command the running. Judging from the shooting percentage, the shooting is relatively good, and the three-pointers are currently relatively stable, mainly scoring with the ball inside.

Some people say that Yang Hansen feels very relaxed. It is different from the previous national centers, so there is still some truth. Some people also say that Yang Hansen is too confident, it is not a long-term way, but you should be more down-to-earth. The Trail Blazers assistant coach believes that Yang Hansen first improves his physical strength and then can score 10 points at a high intensity, which has achieved the established goals of the management and coaching staff.

Personally, I believe that Yang Hansen is still in the protection period of novices and needs more trial and error opportunities to slowly integrate them. Don’t expect too much, don’t blame too much, keep a steady flow of time and seek progress.
