So what if there were 6 fouls in 15 minutes! Yang Hansen showed his feelings with one move, and his ceiling is definitely higher than Zhou Qi’s

Unlike when Zhou Qi confidently believed that he was a first-round pick or even a lottery pick, he was eventually picked by the Rockets with the 43rd pick in the second round for a favor. This year's Yang Hansen is a completely different contrast. When most people in the outside world and even Yang Hansen himself thought that he might be just a second-round pick, the Trail Blazers used the 16th pick in the first round to win him.

Yang Hansen, who has always faced this new NBA journey with a low profile, has already become one with his teammates in the summer league, and he has indeed shown his own characteristics on the court.

In the recently concluded NBA preseason, Yang Hansen also played a masterpiece against the Kings. However, in the final game, he faced a Jazz team led by Kessler, Markkanen, Filipovsky, and Nurkic. However, Yang Hansen was still defeated. After playing only 15 minutes, he suffered 6 fouls and left the game. When he returned to the bench, Yang Hansen shed tears of guilt. The assistant coach and former CBA foreign aid Jeter took the initiative to comfort him.

Yang Hansen said in an interview after the game: "I was very excited at the time and didn't play well, but I could hear the fans sitting on my left, and they supported me loudly. I am really grateful." In addition, Senior reporter Kevin O'Connor also commented: "I am more optimistic about Yang Hansen." Being able to have such a mentality in a preseason game that is not a regular season game also reflects Yang Hansen's sincere feelings for the NBA and the Trail Blazers. Yang Hansen's humble performance inevitably reminds people of the Chinese player Zhou Qi who played for the Rockets.

As a second-round pick, Zhou Qi did feel like giving up on himself after going to the Rockets. Harten, who worked with him in the Vipers, has now become the Thunder's championship center and received an annual salary of tens of millions of dollars. At that time, Zhou Qi's talent and ability were once considered higher than Harten by the outside world, but what about Zhou Qi himself? Just break the jar and throw it away.

Even though D'Antoni gave Zhou Qi ample playing time in a regular season game against the Wizards, the latter failed to score a point and suffered three fouls. His post-game phrase "I'm not ready yet" has been criticized by netizens to this day. When he first played in the Rockets, Zhou Qi didn't have much sense of integration. No matter whether his performance was good or bad, he always looked like he was carefree.

However, for the first-round pick who has roots in Miaohong, the Blazers picked Yang Hansen in the draft this year and were determined to train him. It's just that Yang Hansen, who is stepping into the highest court of basketball for the first time, does need to slowly adapt to the intensity of NBA games and the scale of whistleblowing. But as long as his attitude is correct, I believe that after Yang Hansen overcomes those two problems, he should be able to gain a foothold in the league.
