20+7+7! Yang Hansen is exhausted! Delivered the most well-rounded performance of his career

Demoted again to the G League, Yang Hansen has posted averages of 14.5 points, 11 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1 steal, and 2 blocks in his last two games.

In the home match against the San Diego Clippers, playing back-to-back games (previously scoring 2 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist against the Cavaliers), Yang Hansen logged 14 minutes in the first half, putting up 15 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal, with a +7 plus-minus, playing with ease and composure.

In the second half, Yang Hansen’s offensive momentum dropped significantly, possibly due to fatigue, especially struggling with long-range shots, even awkwardly hitting the rim’s side off a three-pointer late in the third quarter.

Fortunately, as a versatile big man, Yang Hansen was still able to contribute through playmaking and defense when his offense faltered.

During overtime, the Mixers’ offense stalled collectively, with Yang Hansen scoring just 1 point from free throws, and eventually losing 128-135 to the opponent.

In this game,Yang Hansen played about 35 minutes, shooting 7-for-14 (2-for-6 from three-point range), contributing 20 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks with a 50% shooting percentage, strongly filling up the stat sheet. The only downside was 4 turnovers, marking the most comprehensive performance of his career so far.

The Mixers’ team stats are as follows:

The San Diego Clippers’ team stats are as follows:

Unless something unexpected happens, Yang Hansen is expected to represent the Mixers in upcoming home games on the 8th vs. South Bay Lakers, 10th and 12th vs. Salt Lake City Stars, and an away game on the 14th vs. South Bay Lakers, before returning on the 15th to play for the Trail Blazers at home against the Warriors.

Playing more games in the G League has its benefits: at least there’s plenty of playing time. Getting on the court helps improve skills and fitness through real-game experience, otherwise sitting on the bench in the main league often leads to stagnation.

So far this season, the Trail Blazers hold a 9-13 record, ranking tenth in the Western Conference, just half a game ahead of the eleventh-place Jazz. As long as there’s a chance to reach the play-in tournament, the team won’t focus on developing rookies. Yang Hansen must remain patient, keep developing himself, and wait for his moment to shine.
