Rare sight—Yang Hansen was so eager he stomped his feet demanding the ball, then used a dazzling footwork move to score, which was oddly amusing.

Despite back-to-back games, he played aggressively without showing signs of fatigue, attacking the basket whenever possible, even if sometimes he missed dunks due to overexertion.

In this game, Yang Hansen played about 28 minutes, still with limited ball possession but maintaining high offensive efficiency—5 of 10 shooting (0 of 2 from three), 2 of 3 free throws, contributing 14 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal.The Torn City Remix lost heavily to the opponent with a score of 100-129.

Stockton Kings' stats are as follows:

So far,Yang Hansen has played five G League games, averaging 30.8 minutes, scoring 16.2 points, grabbing 9.4 rebounds, dishing 3.8 assists, and blocking 1.2 shots per game, with shooting percentages of 50.8% overall and 31.3% from three-point range.This is roughly comparable to his stats during his time with Qingdao in the CBA.

Although the G League is not on the NBA’s level, it is the second-best league after the NBA. Since Yang Hansen can perform here as comfortably as he did in the CBA, it shows his skills have greatly improved since entering the league. The next question is whether he can adapt to the intensity and pace of regular season games.

If nothing unexpected happens, Yang Hansen will be recalled by the Trail Blazers to play in the home game against the Kings on December 19 Beijing time, but he might continue to be DNP or get only a few minutes, since Klingen and Lowry have both returned.

Training with the first team and traveling with the squad to gain game experience, along with frequent G League matches for practical testing, although tiring, is currently a good development path for Yang Hansen. This is a common route for rookies who have yet to establish themselves.

"Stay patient, trust the process."
Yang Hansen is only 20 years old, with the first two years of his rookie contract fully guaranteed, so there’s no need to rush; he can focus on steady development now, and the public should be more forgiving toward him.
Very few players make a big impact in their rookie season; most start to fulfill their potential gradually in their second or third year.

Since success can’t come overnight, he should build up steadily and always believe that hard work pays off in the end.
