At 11 a.m., Yang Hansen made his debut in the summer league! This "adaptation game" is more worth looking forward to than the data

At 11 a.m. on July 12, the Portland Trail Blazers' summer league against the Golden State Warriors is about to start. Behind the number of timer beating is the expectation of countless Chinese fans holding their breath and concentrating their minds - Yang Hansen's NBA debut has finally come. Halo, selected by the 16th pick in the first round, has a four-year guarantee contract of US$21.39 million, making this Chinese star popular before the battle. But at this moment, what we need more is calmness: in the spotlight of the summer league, data may be the pale footnote. The Summer League in Las Vegas has never been a center stage. Looking at history, shining names are always those lightning defenders: Nate Robinson's basket blowout, Crawford's flower-passing steps, Cam Thomas' crazy scoring in recent years... The outside player with the ball in hand is the protagonist of this temporary battlefield.

The root lies in Xialian's special ecology: a temporary team is patched together, complex tactics are very easy to make mistakes; marginal players need data to prove themselves, and singles become the optimal solution; frequent offense and defense conversions, and big men are exhausted from running back. Yang Hansen is likely to start, but the absence of the team's second-year center Klingen means both opportunities and hidden risks: if teammates cannot provide effective support, Yang Hansen may fall into a vicious cycle of "not receiving the ball - too much consumption on the defensive end".

As the first round pick, Yang Hansen is destined to be examined under a microscope. But Xia Lian’s public opinion field is full of dangerous binary traps: good fight ➜ "Genius is coming! Trailblazers have picked up treasure!"; bad fight ➔ "Side-up warranty! The 16th sign is wasted!".

The game at 11:00 am may have some highlights, which may also expose many problems. But what real fans should pay attention to is not the debate on social media about "whether Yang Hansen deserves the first round pick" but the adaptability and learning potential he demonstrated in the game.

After all, in the history of the NBA, no superstar has been awarded the gods by relying on summer league data. Yang Hansen's journey begins with this game, but will never end in this game.
