On July 13, the American media suddenly reversed and exposed Yang Hansen's four major shortcomings, and finally stopped praising him. This is actually good news.

Yang Hansen played two summer league games in a row, and in the second game, his performance and data were actually good, with 10 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. However, foreign media are still talking about Yang Hansen's performance, and they feel that Xiao Yang's performance is indeed somewhat flawed.

First of all, according to foreign media, Yang Hansen's current problem is that his body is not strong enough. He looks like a big center and has also played in the CBA league, but it is still different. He must become stronger. At this time, he is very heavy and very important. First of all, his body has not reached the peak of strength, and secondly, he must gain muscle. If he cannot do this, it will be difficult to gain a foothold in the league.

Because according to Yang Hansen's trainer Split, "He has to play for about 10 minutes on the court, so we have to make him stronger." No matter how capable he has high IQ for basketball and how accurate he shoots, if he can't adapt to the confrontation and gets hit, that's not OK.

In addition, according to the American media, Yang Hansen's second problem is that he has not adapted to the NBA rhythm now. This rhythm is not only the rhythm on the court, but also the cultural differences between him and his teammates off the court, his language problems, new environments, new lifestyles, etc. He also has to adapt to it. If he can't adapt, it's not good.

Yang Hansen's language is still not good now, and he has to rely on the translator to communicate with his teammates at any time. This is not enough. In addition, the rhythm on the court is much faster than the rhythm of the CBA. He used to play low-level basketball in the CBA and was not used to adapt to this high-level rhythm.

Third, they think Yang Hansen still has a problem and needs to get more rebounds. It is true that Yang Hansen is indeed blocking the position for his teammates in these two games and helping them grab the board. He is more of using his basketball IQ to get his teammates to get the board. No problem, but your height of 2.16 meters and average 7 to 8 rebounds per game is basic, even if you get stuck and let your teammates get the board. In the past, Adams had to get Westbrook offensive rebounds every day, but his rebounding could still guarantee an average of 8 per game, which should be done, but he is only 4.5 per game per game now. For his height, his rebounding ability is indeed a bit weaker.

The last point is that Yang Hansen has problems with the current foul control. In fact, the most important thing is that he will always be trained by the small guards on the opposite side. What should you do if you are not able to defend yourself by the opponent's defender? Then you can only foul, so this is actually a key point, and your defense switching ability is too poor.

When he arrived in the league, he would not be facing the rookie defenders in the summer league. What are he facing? It will be superstars such as Curry, Alexander, and Harden. If you can't solve this problem, you will definitely be used as a breakthrough by the opponent when you hit them. If these four shortcomings are not solved, he will definitely not be able to become a superstar in the NBA in the future, get a maximum salary of 50 million yuan, or even be included in the Hall of Fame. At most, he can only become a qualified starter. It is far from enough to become the first player in Chinese basketball history.
