Song Xiang: Yang Hansen’s playing time depends on his game status and the number of foul control times

Hupu News, October 17, NBA preseason, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Jazz is underway.

In the fourth quarter of the game, Yang Hansen fouled while grabbing a rebound under the basket and left the game after his sixth foul.

In this regard, media person Song Xiang posted on social media that Yang Hansen's last preseason game ended, and he played a total of 15 minutes, with 3 points, 0 rebounds, and 6 fouls. This is undoubtedly the most difficult performance in the four preseason games.

There are many fouls. This is a direct reflection of Xiao Yang's experience in adapting to NBA whistleblowing standards, controlling his body, and controlling defense. This will definitely require a lot of tuition. Xiao Yang has already committed six fouls and left the game early twice in the preseason. Among them, in the second game, if Billups hadn't seen Xiao Yang commit 5 fouls in the final quarter and replaced him, he might have committed 6 fouls in that game.

Again, how can big men control as few fouls as possible and stay on the court as long as possible? This is a problem that Yao Ming will encounter in the early days of the NBA, not to mention this faster-paced era. 0 rebounds, this is actually an embarrassing number. With the rebounds in the game setting a new preseason high, there are no 0 rebounds in this game, which is somewhat unjustifiable.

Scoring, under the current staffing and play style of the Trail Blazers, Xiao Yang's tactical status is unlikely to be too high, so the three-point feel will be important, especially in terms of improving confidence in the game. In the internal confrontation, this game also saw the gap between Xiao Yang and some veterans. But this is also something he must face as he grows up. But Xiao Yang is young, and his strength will increase as he grows older and improves his special strength.

But looking at preseason 4, Xiao Yang's rotation in the regular season is the substitute center position, and his court time depends on his game status and the number of foul control times. Another feeling is that the Trail Blazers really didn't check Reese at all. They would rather use five small lineups in the last two games than give him any time.
