Yang Yi: I don’t want Yang Hansen to play the Asian Cup, he has been overdrawn and needs to rest to prepare for the NBA

This year's NBA draft has come to an end. On his 20th birthday, Yang Hansen was successfully selected by the Trail Blazers with the exchange of No. 16 draw, becoming another high-ranking Chinese player after Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

Yang Hansen's 16th pick has attracted widespread attention and heated discussion, and many domestic basketball VVs and media are competing to report. At the same time, there is also a problem before Yang Hansen, that is, how to coordinate the schedule and schedule of the national team and the NBA league. As we all know, the Asian Cup of Men's Basketball Team is about to begin, and the schedule is about half a month. Whether Yang Hansen plays this game has also become a hot topic of discussion. The basketball v Yang Yiqi talked about this topic on the show. His opinion was that he was unwilling to play such a game. He had already overdrawn his strength and should have a good rest to prepare for the new season of the NBA.

Yang Yi bluntly expressed his concern about Yang Hansen's physical condition. He had just experienced very intensive and tiring training and trial training. The NBA's summer league is about to start and he has to go through his rookie adaptation period. If you continue to fly back to play this kind of game in August, it is easy to cause both physical and mental fatigue, which will increase the risk of injury. For young players who have just entered the NBA, it is imperative to stay healthy and adapt to a brand new league environment. Besides, if you win an Asian Cup event, it will not increase your points to enter the World Cup and Olympics, it is just an intercontinental competition.

Although there were voices that Yang Hansen did not choose Yang Yi's agency, Yang Yi himself still stood from a professional perspective and was very concerned about Yang Hansen's health. After all, Yao Ming's previous lessons are there. For the so-called face-saving victory, Yao Ming has to come back to play in all kinds of friendly matches, which resulted in constant injuries in the later stage and eventually left the NBA early. Yang Hansen has long said that if the national team needs it, he will come back, but he also needs to consider Yang Hansen's development. Yang Hansen has not yet experienced in the NBA league, and it is just a icing on the cake when he comes back.

The national men's basketball team should learn from the women's basketball team. They also did not let Li Yueru, who played in the WNBA, come back to play in the Asian Cup, but instead gave more opportunities to young people. Yang Hansen does need more rest to gain a foothold in the new season and thus improve his personal strength, so as to bring greater progress to the future development of the Chinese men's basketball team.
