Has Yang Hansheng been named the Trail Blazers' best player of the game? Blazers media responds: No one represents the team's future better than him.

On December 8th Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, with the Trail Blazers falling 96-119 to the Grizzlies away. Chinese player Yang Hansheng started for the first time in his career. He had a poor first half, playing just 8 minutes and committing 4 fouls without any positive impact. However, he made timely adjustments in the second half and found his rhythm. He not only used elegant footwork to beat Edi twice offensively but also caused Edi to commit an offensive foul on defense. Despite this, the Blazers suffered a heavy defeat. Yang played 19 minutes and 13 seconds in total, shooting 2 of 5, missing both three-point attempts, and finishing with 4 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists, with a plus-minus of +2.

Although Grant scored 21 points, leading the team in scoring for the Blazers, Blazer's Edge named Hansheng the best player of the game. What is the reason behind this?

Blazer's Edge explained: "For the entire Trail Blazers team, tonight’s performance was far from outstanding, which is why I chose rookie Yang Hansheng as the best player of the game. The significance of this match lies not in the present but in the future, and in Portland, no one represents the team’s future better than this popular young star from China."In this game, Yang Hansheng made his career debut as a starter and played 19 minutes with notable moments: he shot 2 of 5 overall, 0 of 2 from three-point range, scored 4 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, and dished out 2 assists, while committing 2 turnovers and 5 fouls, finishing with a plus-minus of +2. Unfortunately, the future always arrives slowly!"

Trail Blazers beat reporter yovic reported: "The Blazers will return to Portland tonight and have three full practice days before heading to New Orleans. During this period, Yang Hansheng is very likely to play again for the G League affiliate, the Rip City Remix, in their home games."

According to the schedule, the Trail Blazers’ G League affiliate team, the Rip City Remix, will play their next game on December 10th at 10 o’clock against the Utah Jazz’s G League affiliate, the Salt Lake City Stars.
