On July 16, Yang Hansen's photo appeared on the cover of ESPN's NBA channel headlines, and in related articles, the subtitle of the report was "Yang Hansen is impressive."

ESPN's famous reporter Tim Bundeps wrote: "The biggest surprise in this draft came from the Portland Trail Blazers. After picking 2.18-meter center Klingen a year ago with a lottery draw, they seemed to risk taking the 2.18-meter big man Yang Hansen at the 16th pick."

" But in his highlight moments of his debut, his skill level impressed other team coaches and executives, especially passing ability. He still needs to polish his growth, but people quickly understood why the Trail Blazers are interested in him. Some observers wonder how he will adapt to the pace of the NBA in the long run. However, Hansen, who once said he was a fan of Jokic, will be the focus of attention next season, especially how quickly he can adapt to the league. And how he and Klingen will coexist. ”

Yang Hansen's Chinese agent Ma Jie was interviewed by CCTV's "Decisive Moment" and talked about Yang Hansen's business development topic. Ma Jie said: "Yang Hansen's backing with the huge Chinese market means that after the Trail Blazers selected this Chinese basketball star, they can gain a lot of business. The most intuitive thing is that Yang Hansen's No. 16 jersey has been sold out. If you need to buy it, you need to print on the spot. Now it is used up, and they are still actively replenishing the goods. The jersey is only one aspect. The Trail Blazers are now preparing for business development in the Chinese market. I think the future is a win-win situation for everyone."

Ma Jie also said that the Chinese brokerage team and US partner Klutch Sports have been fully prepared for Yang Hansen's personal commercial value.

"Overseas, Klutch is a very top brokerage company in the United States. It also has many top NBA stars and has many business customers. In China, we have communicated with related categories before the draft. We are not particularly anxious about commercial development. We will be very cautious about categories and brands," said Ma Jie.

The Trail Blazers won 1 win and 1 loss in the first two summer games. Yang Hansen averaged 10 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4 assists, 0.5 steals and 2 blocks per game, shooting percentage of 46.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 20%, and free throw shooting percentage of 83.3%.

The Trail Blazers will play against the Pelicans in today's Summer League match. The opponent's starting center Missy is the strongest inside line that Hansen Summer League has encountered so far. She is currently the rebounding champion of Summer League (12 rebounds per game). On the preheating poster released by Trail Blazers, there is still the familiar Henson exclusive cover. What kind of performance can he perform? Let's wait and see.
