Fill in the data bar! Yang Hansen made his NBA perfect debut! Far better than No. 1 pick Flag! Fans shouted MVP!

On the NBA stage, the summer league has always been an excellent opportunity for rookies to emerge and prove themselves. In the 2025 NBA Summer League, two games attracted much attention, one was the first appearance of No. 1 pick Flag, and the other was the first appearance of Chinese star Yang Hansen on behalf of the Trail Blazers. Their different performances caused widespread discussion.

First, he turned his attention to Flag, a talented player who entered the league with the halo of the No. 1 pick, received great attention and expectations in the summer league Mavericks against the Lakers. In terms of physical fitness, Flag has top talent, 206cm tall, outstanding arm-show, and no less than defender speed. He claims to be able to defend from No. 1 to No. 5 on the defensive end. It is regarded as a template for Leonard during his peak period, carrying high expectations for becoming a future league appearance. However, his debut was shocking. Facing the Lakers, Flag played 31 minutes in the whole game, made only 5 of 21 shots, and even made 0 of 5 shots from outside the three-point line, making 0 of 1 free throw, scoring only 10 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. During the game, Flag was inefficient in offense, scored 10 points in 5 of 15 shots in the first half, and even made 0 of 6 shots in the second half. His offensive problems were fully exposed, his ball-holding ability was insufficient, and when facing defensive pressure, it was difficult to effectively break through or create good shooting opportunities, and he made frequent dribbling mistakes. At the same time, his offensive choices have been criticized, and his many unreasonable actions have wasted the team's offensive opportunities. On the defensive end, although there have been several wonderful steals and key blocks, the overall defensive awareness and sense of position need to be improved. The return to defense is not active enough and it is easy to lose position, allowing the opponent to get a lot of opportunities to score easily.

Look at Yang Hansen, this young center from China, showed a completely different competitive state from Flag in his summer league debut against the Warriors. Yang Hansen has a standard center body size, with a bare foot height of 2.16 meters, an arm span of 2.20 meters, and a weight of 114.6 kg. He has a natural frame protection deterrent in the interior. During the game, although his data was not particularly explosive, he was extremely efficient. He made 14 minutes of the half, made 2 of 3 shots, 1 of 2 of 3 points, efficiently scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, with a plus-negative value of +14, 3 of 7 shots in the game, scoring 10 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks, filling the data bar, and the efficiency was far superior to the No. 1 pick Flag.

From the beginning of the game, Yang Hansen showed solid basic skills and excellent basketball IQ. On the offensive end, he not only has low-level singles skills, his steps are flexible and changeable, and his hook shots are well-proportioned, but also developed three-point shooting ability, holding the ball 45 degrees outside the three-point line, and he turned his back and rushed to the inside line in a singles, showing his strong inside dominance. Moreover, his passing vision and support ability are very outstanding. After getting the ball at a high position many times, he sent out beautiful ground passes, creating scoring opportunities for his teammates, and he can be called the organizer of the team's offense. On the defensive end, Yang Hansen's ability to protect the basket was even more eye-catching. He sent big hats many times and successfully protected the basket, causing the Warriors' inside offense to suffer repeated setbacks. Although he also had some problems in the game, such as not being able to keep up with his teammates' counterattack speed during fast breaks, his physical fitness needs to be strengthened, and he made 6 personal fouls and 3 turnovers, for his debut, these small flaws cannot cover up his brilliance.

Comparing the debut of Flag and Yang Hansen, the difference between the technical characteristics and on-field performance is very obvious. As a forward player, Flag has excellent physical fitness and athletic ability, but his skills are not delicate enough and there are many shortcomings in handling offense and defense details. As a center forward, although Yang Hansen may not be as athletic as Flag, he has played his advantages in the game with his solid skills, excellent football quotient and team sense, and has well integrated into the team's tactical system. His perfect performance also made fans on the sidelines shout MVP!

Of course, a summer league performance does not fully define a player's future. As the No. 1 pick, Flag's talent and potential cannot be underestimated. After subsequent training and competition training, he has the ability to improve his shortcomings and prove himself in future games. And Yang Hansen, this amazing debut is just the beginning of his NBA journey. He still needs to continue to maintain a good state in subsequent games, constantly improve himself, and adapt to the high-intensity NBA game rhythm. For Chinese fans, Yang Hansen's outstanding performance undoubtedly makes everyone look forward to his future and adds a touch of brightness to Chinese basketball on the NBA stage. We look forward to him continuing to write his own brilliant chapter in the NBA arena.
