Focus on 1 point, double the data! Trail Blazers reporter reminded Yang Hansen: The King of War is expected to explode!

Without too much time to summarize and reflect, Yang Hansen will soon face his second opponent: the Kings.

In the first matchup with the Warriors, Yang Hansen scored 4 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 turnovers and 6 fouls. The overall performance is not too bad, but it is not wonderful either. Combined with nearly 22 minutes of playing time, this report card can only be regarded as quite satisfactory.

Currently, there is less than one day left before facing the Kings. Whether Yang Hansen can significantly improve compared to the last game has become the focus of discussion.

If you want to make significant progress, you must know your own shortcomings. When facing the Warriors, Yang Hansen did expose a lot of weaknesses. For example: confrontation, foul actions, tactical execution, communication, on-field adaptability, etc.

However, it is obviously unrealistic to make comprehensive rectifications in such a short period of time. We can only focus on and train on issues that are simple and have obvious results. Then when facing the Kings, Yang Hansen can give everyone a different feeling.

After the game against the Warriors, Trail Blazers reporter Dave Deckard emphatically mentioned one issue about Yang Hansen, that is, the intensity of the confrontation, or the enthusiasm needs to be improved!

And then listed a set of remarkable data: Yang Hansen played for nearly 22 minutes and only grabbed 4 rebounds. In his limited time, Klingen not only performed well on the defensive end, but also grabbed 6 rebounds on the offensive end. It's just that Billups didn't give him too long to perform.

Maybe it’s a matter of environment, not familiar with the rhythm of the NBA, not familiar with the atmosphere of the away game, etc. After Yang Hansen came on the field, the overall feeling was that they were just executing tactics rigidly and were not well integrated into the collective.

On the defensive end, both Horford and Green can easily squeeze Yang Hansen behind. If they are all accomplished NBA players, then even other role players can easily gain an advantage in the confrontation with Yang Hansen.

The same is true on the offensive end. Although Yang Hansen tried his best to help his teammates pick and roll, his performance in the penalty area was not up to standard. Facing the opponent's defensive players, Yang Hansen basically cannot get the position he is good at, let alone strong play and shots inside.

All of this stems from Yang Hansen’s strength problem.

Xiao Yang is a center, and his task is to be at the basket. Whether it is offense or defense, the area around the penalty area is the territory he defends. But his "kind and friendly" personality forces him to always seem at a loss when confronting other opponents.

Opportunities are your own.

If Yang Hansen cannot defend his position in the interior, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the NBA in the future.

After all, Yang Hansen is not a mid-to-long-range shooting big man. Although Yang Hansen hopes to become a center like Jokic, according to the current technical and tactical characteristics, it is basically impossible for Yang Hansen to become a "Yao teacher". You know, although Jokic often gets the ball from the outside, he can advance and attack, and retreat and defend. He first implements tactics to create opportunities for his opponents. If there is no good opportunity, he can also push the ball into the penalty area, post up and finish with a jump shot.

Yang Hansen also has the ability to hold the ball in a high position and provide support, but if he does not have a strong confrontational attitude and attract the attention of his opponents, then the future is destined to be very bumpy.

The center is destined to fight with his opponents under the basket! Even in the small ball era, this is still the case.

Think about the two NBA seniors in front of us, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. They are all inside players, what kind of career experiences have their growth trajectories brought about.

Yao Ming first entered the NBA, and his astonishing height did not bring him much advantage. Because he is in the No. 5 position, he cannot give full play to his strengths without the inside confrontation that scares his opponents. Yao Ming actively changed himself in terms of attitude and training, and eventually became the Rockets' main center.

Yi Jianlian is a No. 4 position, a flexible power forward, and does not have an advantage in physical confrontation. But even so, Yi Jianlian still used his footsteps to seek scoring inside. Supplemented by a stable mid-range shot, he can open up space for himself and mobilize the opponent's defensive attention, which can be regarded as a breakthrough of his own.

For Yang Hansen, daring to confront is the way to go. No matter who is standing in front of you, you must dare to confront your opponent head-on, and you must seize a position that is beneficial to you on both the offensive and defensive ends. This will not only help your own growth, but also enrich the team's tactics, so the head coach will be more confident in sending you on the field.

Therefore, when facing the Kings next, Yang Hansen must actively deal with his role in terms of attitude. Use a tough attitude to occupy your own position. In this way, the defensive end can provide tactical support to teammates, and the offensive end can also allow yourself to win more proactive scoring opportunities.

If this can be done, the offensive end can increase some free throw opportunities, and the defensive end can also control more rebounds. Compared with the 4 points and 4 rebounds when facing the Warriors last time, the data will definitely be better.

Let me say one more thing: After the last game, many fans complained that the head coach did not develop a strategy for Yang Hansen to support the ball in the high post, but just let him run and pick and roll constantly.

Remember, this is preseason, not summer league. In the summer league, everyone is a trial player, and the head coach can develop tactics based on a certain talented player. But this is the preseason, and the preseason is a stage for the head coach to adjust the lineup and examine the status of the players. As a rookie, Yang Hansen naturally focuses on cooperating with the main players.. If you want to really let the head coach formulate tactics for you, Yang Hansen still has a long way to go, at least not now.
