Real! 10 days after joining the Trail Blazers, Yang Hansen completely showed up in the league and admitted a fact

On July 6, the NBA 2025-26 summer league officially started. According to the league's venue arrangement, the Warriors played against the Lakers in the first match. The two sides fought for 48 minutes, and the Warriors successfully reversed the Lakers 89-84. In addition, the Mavericks will play against the Lakers on July 11, and on July 12 and 18, it will naturally be the game between the Trail Blazers against the Warriors and the Rockets, which hundreds of millions of Chinese people are extremely concerned about. At that time, the number one player of Chinese men's basketball team, Yang Hansen, will usher in the first NBA career.

As the team's well-deserved traffic responsibility, the Trail Blazers management also ranked Yang Hansen as the starting center of the summer league. In order to give Yang Hansen a chance to adapt to the NBA faster, the Trail Blazers also canceled the team's other core, Klingen.

Faced with such preferential treatment, Yang Hansen completely showed up in the league in an interview with the media and admitted a fact. Yang Hansen said that as a rookie, he needs to do some dirty and tiring work in the game, work hard to grab rebounds, defend, and go down pick-and-roll, and also try to change his playing style.

It is worth mentioning that when talking about his senses about the NBA game in recent times, Yang Hansen's answer really made the CBA feel ashamed. In his opinion, the NBA's physical confrontation is still very civilized. Everyone's defense is more within the scope of the rules, and the action of starting the move will not be that big.

Yang Hansen's words instantly aroused the curiosity of the US media, because they really couldn't imagine what the CBA, which was more intense than the NBA confrontation, would be like. In this regard, former CBA foreign aid Hansblu once bluntly stated in an interview with the media that playing in China seems to have returned to the NBA in the 1980s. The game is very physically confronting, and they are very fierce in fouls. They do not rely solely on three-pointers or data analysis like the NBA, and pay more attention to inside offense.

To be fair, based on the real feedback from CBA foreign players in the past few seasons, the physical confrontation level of the CBA is very high in the world basketball leagues, and it is common to be injured here. Even if you are an NBA-level player, if you cannot adapt to the intensity of the CBA, it is often difficult to gain a foothold. No wonder, in the few training games after Yang Hansen landed in the NBA, the former did not lose the least when facing NBA-level confrontations. This situation once surprised the media of NBA players and media. It turned out that he had experienced it in the CBA.
