Yang Yi talked about Yang Hansen s trial training incident and raised self-criticism

The 2025 summer NBA draft was held in New York as scheduled. Chinese player Yang Hansen was selected by the Trail Blazers with the 16th pick in the first round. This news made domestic basketball fans very excited.

Back to May 30, Zhou Peng, a media person who followed Yang Hansen, released a report on Yang Hansen's trial training with the Trail Blazers. Yang Yi raised questions in the comment section, believing that it seems unwise for Yang Hansen to choose to try out for the Trail Blazers in a tight time situation, and should give priority to those teams with more chances to choose him for a tryout to save energy. This remark has sparked heated discussion among netizens.

Later, Yang Yi responded to the matter in a program. He said that he should have asked the media person Zhou Peng directly at that time, and his laziness led to misunderstandings. Yang Yi knew very well that he should be more proactive and communicated with relevant personnel through WeChat to avoid this storm. According to him, after learning about the situation, Yang Hansen's team and Fu Paul also believed that the Trail Blazers' possibility of choosing Yang Hansen was less likely.

Yang Yi explained that the Trail Blazers chose Yang Hansen among the first few picks. Although the team has many centers, the reason is that the Trail Blazers gave sincere treatment, including payment of round-trip air tickets and translation fees. Therefore, Yang Hansen's team included the Trail Blazers team in the trial itinerary. Despite this, some people thought that the possibility of the Trail Blazers picking Hansen Yang was slim, and the Trail Blazers did not make any promises to Hansen Yang.

From the perspective of Yang Yi's questioning, as a famous basketball commentator, he often comments on related issues. The reason why he doubted Yang Hansen's trial choice was probably based on his experience and understanding of the NBA draft. Although he believes that other teams that can choose Yang Hansen should be given priority for trial training, he also admitted his negligence and laziness in his attitude.

From the perspective of Yang Hansen's team, their decision to go to the Trail Blazers for trial training had its considerations. The sincerity shown by the Trail Blazers makes them feel valued, and the additional trial opportunities may increase the chances of being selected. Although the chance is slim, it is worth a try, and the final result confirms the correctness of the decision.

Observing the Trail Blazers, they chose Yang Hansen with many centers, showing their importance to Yang Hansen's potential, which also made Yang Yi's earlier doubts a little embarrassed. In general, basketball is full of variables, and Yang Yi’s doubts and subsequent explanations provide you with many topics worth discussing.

In addition to focusing on the excitement of the game itself, the small episodes on the sports outside are also eye-catching. This matter reminds us not to draw conclusions easily, but to strengthen our understanding, so as to avoid the need for explanations like Yang Yi.
