It s not speed, it s not confrontation! What really affects Yang Hansen s NBA playing is the old CBA habits! Three specific points

On the morning of November 15th, the mixed team affiliated with the NBA Development League Trail Blazers defeated the Suns’ affiliated Development League team! Chinese player Yang Hansen scored 8 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 1 steal. His performance was quite satisfactory, with some notable points and obvious shortcomings exposed.

Through this game, it can be clearly discovered that what really affects Yang Hansen's foothold in the NBA Trail Blazers is not confrontation or speed, but the old habits he established in the CBA!

It's not about speed, it's not about confrontation.

In fact, the speed of the NBA Development League games is not lower than that of the NBA. The method and intensity of confrontation are naturally not as good as the NBA, but for the current Yang Hansen, the difference is not big.

Judging from this game in the Development League, Yang Hansen scored 13 rebounds. His awareness and ability to protect the frame are actually good! Even tougher than No. 10 pick Maruachi!

In terms of speed, Yang Hansen's ability to control fouls, adjust his breathing, and persist for about 20 minutes at a fast pace is still acceptable!

In other words, after adjustment and training after entering the NBA, Yang Hansen has improved very quickly in terms of confrontation and speed!

What really affects Yang Hansen are CBA habits.

What restricts Yang Hansen from playing in the NBA today are three old CBA habits, which have a great impact:

First, after Yang Hansen gets the ball, his first choice is not to attack by himself, but to observe with the ball! This is the style of play he was good at in the CBA, but his observation is relatively slow, with a time of 1-2 seconds. This is actually unacceptable to NBA teams! Even Jokic will not take 2 seconds to think tactically and "wait"!

The second is Yang Hansen grabbing rebounds. He doesn’t jump or grab. This is also an old habit in the CBA, relying on someone behind him to pick up rebounds! Because FIBA ​​rules do not allow defense for 3 seconds, this is okay, but not in the NBA! You have to grab it yourself.

Third, Yang Hansen always wants to assist! He had 4 assists in this game, but he always makes assists his first choice. This doesn't work in the NBA! The first requirement of the NBA is scoring, which is the ability to score in 1-on-1, not passing.
