Zhu Fangyu analyzes Yang Hansen’s five major problems, hopes that fans will support Xiao Yang, and suggests that CBA integrates with international standards

On October 10, the Chinese men’s basketball team’s 20-year-old rising star Yang Hansen did not perform well in his NBA preseason debut. He only scored 4 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist in 21 minutes, but committed 4 turnovers and 6 fouls, which triggered widespread discussion. Now Zhu Fangyu, a famous Chinese men's basketball player and current general manager of the Guangdong Men's Basketball Team, has commented. He pointed out the five major problems of Yang Hansen and also called on domestic leagues to learn from the NBA in all aspects.

In the game where the Trail Blazers were defeated by the Warriors 123-129 with 21 points, Yang Hansen came on as a substitute for 21 minutes and 13 seconds and made only 2 of 5 shots, including 0 of 2 from outside three-pointers. He only scored 4 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, but committed 4 turnovers and 6 fouls. Yang Hansen exposed many problems in the game. Zhu Fangyu gave his analysis on Yang Hansen's performance.

Zhu Fangyu talked about the five major problems exposed by Yang Hansen, as follows:

First, the NBA's offensive and defensive rhythm is too fast. The first quarter should have stretched Yang Hansen's heart and lungs all at once, making it difficult to keep up with the speed of the round. Physical energy consumption is too fast, and positional battles cannot hold the ball. This is the gap between the domestic league (CBA) and the international stage.

Secondly, there are 6 fouls, 4 of which are offensive fouls. You need to adapt to the NBA's penalty standards and stay on the court as much as possible. Fouls such as moving screens are habits developed during the league and will be exposed under high pressure.

Thirdly, many people say that Yang Hansen does not have much possession of the ball. In fact, this is normal. As a newcomer, he needs to slowly gain the trust of coaches and teammates and constantly improve his personal abilities. He used to be the core and led the offense in the domestic league, but the threat in the NBA without the ball has decreased. He needs to reposition his role, and his off-ball offense and space pulling ability also need to be improved.

Fourthly, having more than 20 minutes of playing time shows that the coaching staff is focusing on training him. After the game, head coach Billups also said that Yang Hansen needs to adapt. For a kid like him, the first NBA game (preseason game) must be very nervous.

Fifth, the noise on site during the entire game was very loud. It can be seen that Xiao Yang is not used to communicating more effectively with his coach and teammates under this kind of noise. On the one hand, he has to pass the language barrier, and on the other hand, he is used to communicating by shouting. The sound must be higher than the noise on site.

After Zhu Fangyu summarized the five major problems of Yang Hansen, he also contacted the domestic leagues for comparison and put forward requirements for the domestic leagues: Speaking of which, in fact, the NBA game process requires our domestic leagues to improve it. Good study, seeing the problem itself, perhaps the most fundamental thing is to increase the intensity and speed of the domestic league, take the initiative to integrate with international standards, encourage faster offense and defense transitions, strengthen the standardization of physical confrontation, and strictly unify the scale of whistleblowing, so that we will suffer less on the world stage.

Zhu Fangyu finally sent a message to Yang Hansen: Finally, I also hope that fans and friends can support Yang Hansen and other players who go to various overseas leagues. I hope they can continue to break through themselves and improve themselves, and gain a firm foothold in their own teams. Because their going out has given Chinese basketball hope, the better they adapt, the better our domestic basketball atmosphere will be. The road upward is never easy and smooth, so keep a calm mind and continue to improve.

This summer, many of China's rising stars are going to play overseas. Yang Hansen, Zeng Fanbo, Yu Jiahao, Lin Wei, Wang Junjie, Zhao Weilun, etc., as well as Li Yueru of the women's basketball team and Han Xu, who is basically determined to go to the NBL Perth Wildcats, etc. They are the future of Chinese basketball.
