On October 17th Beijing time, the NBA preseason hosted a crucial game with the Trail Blazers visiting the Jazz. After four fierce and competitive quarters, the Trail Blazers fell short 129-132, losing on a buzzer-beater and finishing the preseason with a 1-3 record. Chinese player Yang Hansen got minutes off the bench but performed terribly, scoring 3 points with no rebounds and committing 6 fouls. After exiting the game, Yang Hansen sat on the bench crying, a truly heart-wrenching sight that shows how disappointed he was with his own performance!
This season, the Trail Blazers signed Chinese player Yang Hansen, drawing the attention of countless Chinese fans. In the preseason of the new season, Yang Hansen earned playing time. In a previous game against the Kings, he had a breakout performance with 16 points, quickly igniting excitement in the NBA. This matchup against the Jazz raised even higher hopes for Yang Hansen, but reality was harsh as he quickly got into foul trouble and fouled out with 6 fouls. Let’s take a look at the game!
From the start, both teams engaged in a back-and-forth offensive battle, with the scoreline closely matched and the lead changing hands frequently. This tight contest continued until the very end, with suspense building. In the final moments, the Jazz seized the opportunity, hitting a three-pointer for the game-winning shot. As a result, the Trail Blazers lost by three points in a heartbreaking finish, falling at the last second!
Judging by this game, Yang Hansen’s performance was clearly disappointing. In 15 minutes of play, he managed only 3 points, 0 rebounds, and a troubling 6 fouls, which is obviously below standard and shows he still needs more experience. Furthermore, Yang Hansen was seen crying on the bench after leaving the court, indicating the heavy pressure he feels given the high expectations on him. Hopefully, Yang Hansen can move past this defeat, learn from his mistakes, and gradually adapt to the NBA’s pace. With the regular season starting soon, we hope he can secure his role as the backup center and clearly recognize his weaknesses. Keep pushing forward!
