He's on fire! 16 out of 14! Japanese men's basketball core player comments on Yang Hansen

The back injury hasn't fully healed yet.

But it's okay, that couldn't stop Yang Hansen from dominating in the G League, starting for about 32 minutes,shooting 16 out of 14, with a high 87.5% shooting percentage, he exploded for 31 points plus 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block, powerfully filling the stat sheet, with a plus-minus of +13, unfortunately, Rip City Remix lost 118-128 to the San Diego Clippers.

Low-post isolation, every shot hits.

Top-of-the-key three-pointer, ready as soon as he raises his hand.

Assist + screen, helping teammates score an easy layup.

Active help defense, pinning the shot on the board.

At the Development League level, Yang Hansen has long been able to handle it easily, but as the No. 16 pick in the first round of the 2025 draft, he still needs to prove himself in NBA regular games. So far this season, he has played 38 games for the Trail Blazers with 1 start, averaging 7.3 minutes per game, scoring 2.2 points and 1.5 rebounds.

It's worth mentioning that,recently, Bulls two-way contract guard Yuki Kawamura talked about Yang Hansen in an interview, saying the latter is very talented with a bright future, almost capable of everything on the court, and he's only 20 years old, needing time to accumulate experience.

Yuki Kawamura also talked about whether he would return to the Japanese men's basketball team this July for the third window of the World Cup qualifiers? He stated frankly that he will participate in the NBA Summer League again at that time, and the decision will depend on the situation.

In the previous second window of the World Cup qualifiers, the Japanese men's basketball team lost 80-87 to the Chinese men's basketball team at home, and defeated the Korean men's basketball team 78-72.

Currently, the Japanese men's basketball team leads Group B with 3 wins and 1 loss, the Korean men's basketball team is second with 2 wins and 2 losses, the Chinese men's basketball team is also second with 2 wins and 2 losses, and the Chinese Taipei team is fourth with 1 win and 3 losses.

Yuki Kawamura, who is only 1.70 meters tall, has also performed excellently in the G League this season. So far, he has played 9 games for the Windy City Bulls, averaging 17.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 11.3 assists per game, with three shooting percentages of 36.5%, 34%, and 92.6%.

The Chinese men's basketball team with Yang Hansen back, and the Japanese men's basketball team with Yuki Kawamura, which one is stronger really isn't easy to say? Only a real matchup can tell.
