Yang Hansen s debut season - the team s configuration is perfectly matched with the small ball style, returning to the playoffs is not a dream

After a player reshuffle in the offseason, the entire NBA Western Conference has changed again. With Van Vreet's injury, the Rockets may temporarily withdraw from the first tier of the championship; the Thunder, Nuggets and Clippers will become the three favorites in the Western Conference, with the Lakers, Timberwolves, Warriors and Rockets following. Of course, the healthy Mavericks should not be underestimated. After all, the team's configuration is there, not to mention that there are two superstars in charge.

In addition, we need to pay attention to which teams will become dark horses in the new season? This will get a quota for the playoffs and make it to the playoffs. In addition to the healthy Pelicans and Spurs, the team I am also optimistic about is the Trail Blazers of the tear-out city that will soon become China's second home team. Why do

say so? You may think that the author is suspected of praising Yang Hansen, but it is not just Yang Hansen's factor; and a rookie has not yet grown to the point where he reverses the team's decline with one person. It is true that the Trail Blazers' player configuration is perfectly in line with the style of playing in the small ball era.

Therefore, it is not a dream for this team to return to the playoffs.

Although the Trail Blazers did not have superstars in the last season, the growth of forward Avdia led the team to the 12th record in the Western Conference; if it goes smoothly, they will get the 10th position in the Western Conference and squeeze into the playoffs, because the Mavericks in the 10th place have 39 wins and 43 losses, while the Trail Blazers in the 12th place have 36 wins and 46 losses. The gap between the two is not big.

From the lineup, after sending Ayton away, there will be Klingen and Yang Hansen in the center position, and the styles of these two players are different, which can achieve good complementarity; in the forward player reserves, there are Avdia, Grant, Kamara, and Murray, and there are many types of players on the back line, including Holiday, Lillard, Henderson, Sharp, and Seble. Of course, there is also a blocker Loway who is very good at defending at the center, but whether the Trail Blazers will trade it is still a question.

So, as the coach, Billups has very good cards in his hand; in terms of size, height, and strength projection, it is not much worse than those playoff teams.

Once Lillard recovers to health, the Trail Blazers' starting lineup in the new season will be Lillard, Holiday, Avdia, Grant, and Klingen. The main rotations of the substitute lineup are Henderson, Sharp, Seble, Kamara, Hansen Yang and Rowe.

Looking at this lineup, there are all kinds of players in every position, and they are also very outstanding in personal abilities. This team will be worthy of attention in the new season.

Considering that Lillard and Holiday, the two core defenders, have had injuries, the team will also restrain their use of them in the new season, so Yang Hansen will get more opportunities to play his passing ability in the substitute stage.

As Chinese fans, we should not have too high requirements for Yang Hansen, after all, he is just a rookie. Perhaps just as the reporters said, I am more worried about whether Yang Hansen can adapt to the NBA's confrontational standards, which will also affect his shooting feel. We have to be patient and give him more time to grow up, and we have to stabilize the rotation position first in our new season. Only after gaining a stable playing time can you slowly seek development and truly evolve into an outstanding player.

The reason why the former Trail Blazers could not go further is that the two players on the back line are mainly offensive, and Lillard lacks excellent leaders around him. Now CJ has become Holiday, and the personnel in other positions have changed. This is no longer a team with strong offense and weak defense.

has made it back to the playoffs, and we can fully expect Yang Hansen's debut season.
