Yang Hansen s debut 4+4 sparked heated discussions, polarizing Chinese and foreign fans, and greater challenges are yet to come.

The NBA preseason ushered in the contest between the Trail Blazers and the Warriors. This was also the first time that Chinese player Yang Hansen appeared in an NBA preseason game. It was considered his NBA debut game and attracted widespread attention from fans.

Yang Hansen was signed by the Trail Blazers with a high draft pick this year. The team and fans have high hopes for him. His performance in the preseason was even more eye-catching, and they all praised him as the Chinese version of Jokic. Although Yang Hansen came on as a substitute in this game, he still played 21 minutes even though he committed six fouls and left the field, which is enough to show the coach's trust and recognition in him. Perhaps because of being too nervous, Yang Hansen only scored 4 points, 4 rebounds and 6 fouls in his first game.

This data is obviously very ordinary. Yang Hansen's score is also tied for the fewest in the team, and he did not show his all-round skills and passing skills. This performance also caused polarized comments from fans. Chinese fans gave Yang Hansen more support and comfort. After all, he received too much attention and carried a lot of expectations. One game can't explain much, and Flagg Xia United's debut was also ordinary.

Moreover, Yang Hansen faced veteran players like Horford and Green, and Yang Hansen played better and better in the second half, but he was limited by the number of fouls and could not continue to perform. Foreign fans believed that Yang Hansen's performance was too soft and too slow, and was directly carried away by the Warriors' running and gunning rhythm. Physical fitness was also a big problem, and he was photographed many times out of breath. Fortunately, head coach Billups gave him a lot of trust, thinking that this was a setback for young players to grow up, and believed that Yang Hansen could adapt to this kind of scene.

In fact, this is an early experience for Hansen Yang to experience the rhythm of the NBA. The real greater challenge lies in the first six games of the new season. Facing big centers like Gobert and Kessler, facing Ayton Green, and facing his own template Jokic, it is equivalent to encountering the six devils just out of the rookie village.
