On the first day of his official debut at the Trail Blazers, this Chinese player left a deep impression on everyone. His kindness and humor are quite infectious.

Before Yang Hansen's press conference, many Trail Blazers fans participated in the event of leaving messages to Yang Hansen, handwritten letters to the rookie and sent messages, while some fans expressed some wishes. Yang Hansen drew some letters, and a fan hoped that Yang Hansen could shoot a three-pointer for his daughter, while Yang Hansen joked: "For your (wish), I threw it in half, risking being scolded to death by the coaching staff."

Portland local TV station also reported Yang Hansen on multiple programs. The female reporter interviewed in front lamented that Yang Hansen was a very unique player and was deeply impressed by his interview. The female reporter said that when Yang Hansen said that his biggest hobby outside of basketball is sleep, I thought to myself, so did I.

Sean Highkin, a team reporter who interviewed the Trail Blazers for many years, wrote a new article about Yang Hansen, titled "The Yang Hansen era has begun."

Highkin sighed in the article that with the arrival of Yang Hansen, everything for the Trail Blazers will undergo tremendous changes. This is true for everyone, every link.

"Changcey Billups never coached a player through a translation, he said ‘Excited by this challenge’. General Manager Cronin has never selected such a player in the draft in his career that is beyond the consensus. He has won the last three lottery picks, Sheden Sharp, Scudt Henderson and Donovan Klingen, who have won not exactly the same goal, even if it is not exactly in line with expectations. This choice will face a day after day of careful scrutiny, even more attention has been received after Henderson’s arrival (who caused Lillard to leave the team due to his joining). "

"I have never been interviewed by a documentary at a rookie who most fans know nothing about, but this scene happened on Saturday. Yang Hansen's joining Portland will make everyone inside and outside the Trail Blazers need an adaptation process."

According to the NBA official schedule, Yang Hansen is expected to make his debut this summer league on July 12, with the opponent being the Warriors.
