Xiao Yang was the first to run onto the court and hugged Love to celebrate. The details further enhanced the team s favorability.

[Yang Hansen played a perfect offensive performance in the third quarter of his preseason home debut]

On October 11, the Trail Blazers defeated the Kings 124-123 at home, and they won their first home preseason victory. This was also Yang Hansen's first preseason home game after joining the Trail Blazers. He had an excellent offensive performance in the third quarter: After Yang Hansen hit two three-pointers, his offensive confidence improved significantly. After that, Yang Hansen took advantage of his strong assists and helped Sharp complete an easy dunk. At the same time, he also succeeded in two singles against his opponents. Among them, Xiao Yang even dribbled the ball behind his back, then turned around, then stared at the defensive player and completed a difficult layup. This goal once again showed Yang Hansen's proficiency in inside skills. Yang Hansen scored 14 points in the third quarter and he scored 16 points in the entire game. Yang Hansen got his fifth foul in the final quarter and was replaced after that. At the end of the game, the Blazers home audience burst into warm applause and cheers.

Yang Hansen played a bit "boring" in the first preseason game. He fouled 6 times and ended the game early, scoring only 4 points. After that game, many people questioned Yang Hansen. However, Trail Blazers coach Billups doesn't think so. He doesn't think Yang Hansen's NBA preseason debut was bad. He thinks Yang Hansen will slowly adapt and adjust himself.

On the 11th, returning to the home court, Yang Hansen was still in the rotation position of the substitute center. However, after playing in the first quarter, Xiao Yang's number of fouls increased rapidly, with 3 fouls in less than 4 minutes, which greatly affected Yang Hansen's playing time and status. In the first half, Yang Hansen only relied on free throws to score 2 points. But the good news is that in the first half, Yang Hansen was near the free throw line more often to catch the ball and provide passing support. This is the position where he is most comfortable and can best utilize the characteristics of his play style.

Entering the third quarter, Yang Hansen quickly improved his offensive confidence through two three-pointers. The first three-pointer is near the corner, which is also the position where he spent more time in the first preseason. After hitting his first three-pointer, his teammates sent him a 45° pass from the left. He took another shot and the ball bounced a few times before going into the basket. After hitting two three-pointers, Yang Hansen started his offensive performance.

Next, Yang Hansen's style of play felt like an offensive kaleidoscope. He and Sharp made an exquisite pass-cut cooperation. Yang Hansen "dealt", and Sharp cut from the baseline, and the latter completed an easy dunk. Xiao Yang's passing has always had the shadow of Jokic, and this pass feels familiar. In addition, Xiao Yang also scored two solo goals, and the second one was even more exciting. The goal-scoring operation was like a tiger descending a mountain, making the opponent lose his temper. And towards the end of this quarter, there was a little "Easter egg". He blocked his opponent Monk's shot.

In this quarter, Xiao Yang scored 14 points. He perfectly demonstrated his rich offensive methods and his skillful use. He fully displayed his greatest characteristics.

Entering the final quarter, had Xiao Yang not already committed 5 fouls, his playing time and single-game statistics might have been even better. But in the end, the data of 17 minutes, 16 points, and 4 rebounds has already made the opponents look at him with admiration.

Another detail is that the Trail Blazers won at the last minute with guard Love making 1 of 2 free throws. After the game, Xiao Yang was the first to run onto the court and hugged Love to celebrate. Such details further enhance Yang Hansen's favorability within the team.

But it should be noted that Yang Hansen has already committed 11 fouls in two preseason games. This is an aspect that he must improve as soon as possible. If you want to stay on the court as much as possible, show and improve yourself, you must control the number of fouls you commit. But again, any problems that arise in the preseason are not a bad thing.
