After three preseason games, Yang Hansen scored more points than Yao Ming and the United Arab Emirates during the same period, and had one more rebound than Yao Ming.

Throughout the years, the only Chinese players who can really gain a foothold in the NBA are Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. These two have truly become the main rotation players in the NBA. As the third first-round pick in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team to land in the NBA, Yang Hansen also received sufficient attention from the Trail Blazers in the preseason at the beginning of the season.

In three preseason games, Yang Hansen averaged 9.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1.3 blocks in 19.5 minutes per game. His three shooting percentages were 45.8%, 33.3% and 100% respectively. For comparison, Yao Ming played 3 preseason games in his rookie season, averaging 6.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 18 minutes per game. Arab League played 2 games, averaging 6 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 20 minutes per game.

Currently, in addition to Yang Hansen, the Trail Blazers also have Reese, Klingen and the injured Rowe in the inside position. However, judging from the preseason, Reese did not get many opportunities. With Rowe injured, Billups basically let Yang Hansen and Klingen rotate in the inside. In the official regular season, the team's rotation order in the inside should be similar to the preseason.

Judging from these preseason games, Yang Hansen has indeed received recognition from the coaching staff and teammates, instead of just saying some polite words to Zeng Fanbo like the Nets coaching staff and teammates did in the previous China game. After all, Yang Hansen is a solid first-round pick and can enter the rotation in the regular season. As for Zeng Fanbo, a Chinese player with an ex10 contract, there is a big gap between the two in terms of team status.

In these three preseason games, Yang Hansen has proven his strength on both offense and defense, but his high-position support ability in the CBA and summer league has not yet been reflected. Although he has indeed passed some beautiful balls, the frequency of his appearances is still not high.

Yao Ming played in 82 games in his NBA rookie season, including 72 starts. He averaged 13.5 points and 8.2 rebounds in 29 minutes per game. Considering that he He was the No. 1 pick in 2002. His status in the team and his terrifying dominance in the CBA before entering the NBA are things that Yang Hansen cannot compare with. The most rational thing is to let Yang Hansen compare the performance of the Arab League in his rookie season.

As the No. 6 pick in 2007, Yi Jianlian played 66 games for the Bucks in his rookie season, starting 49 games, averaging 8.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 25 minutes per game. For Yang Hansen, who has a small support, if his playing time in the rookie season can be guaranteed to be about 20 minutes, he can actually produce similar data to Yi Jianlian. Maybe Xiao Yang will be slightly better in terms of assists, averaging about 1.5-2 per game.
