What is supposed to come has come. Yang Hansen s devolution is not all bad. Zhou Qi s little brother is an example.

Since entering the regular season, Yang Hansen has had very few playing opportunities with the Trail Blazers. In addition, he cannot adapt to the intensity of the game on the court, and he is deeply involved in various rhythms and criticisms off the court. Compared with the public opinion in the summer league and preseason games, they are two extremes. In the Trail Blazers' game against the Nuggets, with Lowe's return, Young was unable to get even 1 minute of playing time. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Trail Blazers now have as many as four centers. Where can they get Yang Hansen in the normal rotation? This is just the beginning of Xiao Yang being DNP, what is supposed to come has come. Sure enough, the Trail Blazers officially announced that Yang Hansen, the 16th overall pick this year, will be transferred to the Rip City Mixed Team, an affiliated team of the Development League. Xiao Yang will follow the Mixed Team for routine training.

In fact, there is no need to be surprised at all when Yang Hansen was transferred to the Development League. After all, when he participated in the draft, he had not yet truly dominated the CBA's inside line. In him, scouts saw more potential than immediate combat ability, so it is normal that he cannot adapt to the intensity of the NBA regular season and needs to "fight monsters and upgrade." It's nothing more than that Xiao Yang was unexpectedly selected with the 16th pick by the Torn City in the draft. Coupled with the sudden inspiration in the summer league and preseason, it gave everyone unrealistic imagination. Now it's just a matter of getting things back on track. Just like the No. 12 pick Isenger selected by the Bulls, he hasn't played a minute in the regular season and will be sent to the Development League. In comparison, Yang Hansen is quite lucky. After all, he still got to experience the atmosphere of the NBA main game.

Having said that, Yang Hansen's devolution was not all bad. Xiao Yang traveled across the ocean to work in the hall that represents the highest level of basketball on the planet, not to be a water cooler keeper, but to compete with high-level opponents and grow in actual combat. Instead of sitting on the bench in the NBA team, it is better to get more opportunities to play and accumulate experience in the Development League. Regardless of the name "Development League", it is also for the NBA. Compared with the CBA League, the strength of the league is still several levels higher. As long as Xiao Yang can gain a firm foothold and work hard in this level of competition, it will naturally be of great benefit to his growth.

Furthermore, Yang Hansen is going to the mixing team to "level up", so there is no need to be too pessimistic about his prospects. Some fans feel that players in the Development League want to prove themselves and are eager to win a ticket to the NBA, so they will consider less about teamwork and more about their own performance. Therefore, guards who have a lot of ball rights will be more popular, and a character like Xiao Yang who does not compete or compete will suffer. Actually, there is really no need to worry about this. Zhou Qi's "little brother" Hartenstein when he was working hard with the Rockets is a positive example.

Hatten was selected a year later than Zhou Qi and was also the No. 43 pick. He was roommates with Zhou Qi back then and his starting point was lower than that of the "Big Devil". However, every time he was sent to the Development League, he would not blame others. Instead, he would prove himself with exploding data columns. Harten was in the Vipers at the time and had double-doubles with 30+ points all year round, proving that his strength does not belong in the Development League at all. In the season when the Vipers won the championship, Hatten was elected the final FMVP with averages of 27.3 points and 15.3 rebounds per game. Hard work paid off, and Hartenstein's performance finally conquered the picky NBA general managers. He received an annual salary of 8 million in New York, and a three-year, 87 million contract with the Thunder. He also won a championship ring with the team. He is an absolute winner in life.

So, when Yang Hansen went to the Development League this time, he had to correct his mentality and understand that everything depends on manpower. If he continues to be depressed like this, he may just be so mediocre and disappear from everyone; on the contrary, like Harten, he has a heart that never admits defeat. If he can complete the settling in the mixed team and perform to crush his opponents, then returning to the NBA and winning the trust of the head coach will be just around the corner.
