Rational analysis: If Yang Hansen wants to gain a foothold in the NBA, he needs to forget how he played before.

Because of his excellent high-position card dealing ability, when Yang Hansen was selected by the Trail Blazers, everyone felt that he could establish himself in the league with this specialty. However, in the official regular season, Yang Hansen did not use this advantage. It was not until he played on behalf of the Trail Blazers Development League Mixed Team that he showed his high-position support ability again.

In his first appearance on behalf of the Mixed Team, Yang Hansen played 29 minutes, made 4 of 11, scored 8 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. In the third quarter, he showed his ability to deal cards at the top of the arc many times. But if Yang Hansen returns to the NBA next, he may still have to reduce the number of cards dealt at the top of the key. Even the cards dealt must be changed, such as holding the ball to attack or in the mid-range, instead of insisting on passing the ball for the sake of passing the ball. In this way, if the opponent suddenly double-teams, Yang Hansen will easily make mistakes or pay fouls.

Since Yang Hansen currently does not have the core status of Jokic, he is currently a blue-collar center in the Trail Blazers. In addition, the team has too many people who can control the ball and pass the ball. Not counting Henderson, who has not yet returned, Avdija and Holiday can shoulder the organizational burden. Yang Hansen is not a threat on the offensive end, and basically no one will circle around him. He has been standing still at the top of the key and watching his teammates move? Who would listen to a rookie who has never established himself in the NBA to direct the offense? Jokic did not have such a core position in his rookie season.

In the current NBA, interior players with high-position support capabilities basically have good offensive abilities with the ball. When high-position dealing is blocked, they can rely on their offensive abilities to complete the finish. But for Yang Hansen, he failed to show offensive aggression in the CBA, let alone the NBA. This is one of the main reasons why he gradually fell out of the team's rotation after the start of the regular season. Because he really can't adapt to the intensity and game rhythm of the current NBA.

Going to the Development League for the time being, what Yang Hansen has to do is to gradually reduce the number of times he deals cards in the high post. When playing here, he has to take care of the ball. Ignore the defensive end and develop the feeling and finishing methods of the offensive end. Only when the offense threatens the opponent will attack you. When the attack is flanked, there will always be a teammate who is open. In this way, you can use the high position support ability and the number of assists will increase.

So, at this stage, Yang Hansen needs to learn to forget how he played before, so as to force himself out of his comfort zone and develop a certain degree of independent offensive ability. If he continues to insist on dealing cards at a high position, even if he is later recalled by the Trail Blazers, he may continue to face the dilemma of sitting on the bench.
