Yang Hansen reflected after the game and did not listen to the coach s guidance, so he took the initiative to take responsibility and showed his responsibility!

In the summer league on July 13, 2025, the Trail Blazers and the Grizzlies attracted the attention of many spectators. Chinese star Yang Hansen played 26 minutes in the game. Although he contributed 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists to the team, the team ultimately failed to avoid the fate of defeat, especially when he was overtaken by his opponent with a 10-0 attack in the fourth quarter. When the game progressed to the third quarter, Yang Hansen's condition dropped significantly and his movement speed slowed down. He was replaced after only a few minutes in the fourth quarter. Although his performance in the first two quarters was eye-catching, he scored 4 points with a breakthrough layup in the first quarter, and a one-handed dunk across the opponent in the second quarter triggered a burst of cheers. The score at the end of the half was 8 points, helping the team maintain the lead in the first half, but the turnovers and fouls in the second half put him in trouble. Statistics of the game showed that he had 5 turnovers and 3 fouls.

After the game, Yang Hansen took the initiative to apologize to his teammates and repeatedly said "My Mine". This behavior is not common among NBA players. But his coach, Chauncey Billups, stopped this behavior in time, emphasizing that athletes should focus on the next round rather than indulge in self-blame. The coaching staff has reminded Yang Hansen many times that mistakes in the game should not excessively affect his psychological state.

Netizens have heated discussions about this incident. Some people think this is a manifestation of cultural differences - in China, players are often accustomed to taking the initiative to take responsibility, while in the NBA, it is more emphasized to quickly adjust their mentality. In order to help Yang Hansen get rid of his psychological burden, Billups also specially encouraged him in the player channel: "Good job!"

The Trail Blazers performed poorly at critical moments of the game, especially in the fourth quarter, except for Yang Hansen, other teammates failed to score effectively. Although Yang Hansen's positive and negative value is 5 and his performance is acceptable, the defensive loopholes in the final stage are obvious. The coaching staff said that they will adjust the training plan to specifically improve Yang Hansen's physical fitness reserves. Yang Hansen himself admitted that he failed to keep up in the second half of the game and his legs felt weak. He promised to change his habit of frequent apology as required by the coach and focus on tactical execution.

fans not only pay attention to Yang Hansen's on-field data, but also look forward to his performance in the process of cultural adaptation. Although some people believe that Billups's stopping apology seems a bit strict, many people understand the high requirements of professional leagues on athletes' psychology and performance. Next, how Yang Hansen found a balance in Chinese and foreign cultural concepts has become a new focus of everyone's discussion. After the game ended, Yang Hansen did not leave, but continued to stay in the venue and practiced his shooting for more than 20 minutes. The on-site staff mentioned that he was half an hour earlier than the previous day and focused on training on foot movements, which may be a way for him to adjust to physical fitness problems.
