Yang Hansen was selected for 16th place, salary was exposed, Xu Jingyu posted a message to congratulate him, creating many history

On Yang Hansen's birthday, a big news came and he was selected by the NBA. The Portland Trail Blazers chose him at the 16th pick. Many people did not expect this result. Before the draft, everyone guessed that he was just behind the first round, and was picked up at 30th picks for more than 20, and some even said that he had to drop to the second round, almost 40 or 50th picks. The 16th ranking is indeed much higher now, leaving those who are not optimistic about him with nothing to say.

He himself knows that when he is selected, people are confused.

Later, the reporter asked him and he said that his legs were shaking a little at that time, and he was scared all of a sudden, but he was so excited. He said the Trail Blazers came to China to see him play, and it was also his first team to try out in the United States. This kind of fate is indeed quite deep.

The result was not just luck, but you'll know when he went to the United States.

A documentary filmed him and stayed in the United States for 27 days. In order to try out various teams, he flew back and forth 17 times. Such a big man was crowded in the economy class of the plane, and when he was tired, he lay on the chair at the airport. There was not even a familiar translator around me, so I went there alone and finally tried out 14 teams.

The hard work was not in vain. Among the teams that have tried, 90% of him have a high opinion of him. The boss of the Orlando Magic also talked to him for more than two hours, which shows that they are really optimistic about him. The Trail Blazers was the first place he went to. Now that he chose him, it was a good result at the beginning.

This can be accomplished, and friends are indispensable to help.

His teammate in the CBA, a man named Dupu Rees, is playing in the Trail Blazers now. It was him who recommended Yang Hansen to people in the team several times, saying that he was good. With the addition of agent Ritchie Paul operating in the middle, this is why there is this good opportunity.

The selection this time is of great significance to our Chinese basketball.

For a full nine years, no Chinese players' names appeared in the NBA draft. This time, Yang Hansen filled in this blank. He is also the ninth Chinese player to be selected by the NBA, with the following few in front:

- Song Tao

- Wang Zhizhi

- Yao Ming

- Xue Yuyang

- Yi Jianlian

- Sun Yue

- Zhou Qi

- Wang Zhelin

His ranking is also very high among Chinese players. Ranked third highest in history. The highest one is of course Yao Ming in 2002, who was the top scorer. Then there is Yi Jianlian in 2007, with the 6th pick. It is already amazing to be behind them. As soon as the news came out, many people in the basketball circle posted congratulations. Li Meng from the women's basketball team, and Zeng Fanbo, who had also made the NBA before, posted updates online as soon as possible. Even the commentator Xu Jingyu publicly said that he would be a Trail Blazers fan next season, which shows how happy everyone is. The money matter is also decided, and this 16th ranking is guaranteed. The contract was 4 years in total, with an amount of about US$21.39 million. Here, the salary in the first two years was fully guaranteed, which allowed him to play in the United States with peace of mind and not have to worry too much about his job.

When it comes to the Trail Blazers, he plays in the inside and the competition in the team is quite good.

The team now has Ayton, Klingen, and Rowe, all of whom are playing inside. However, the team also said that they would not trade him, and they were prepared to train him for a long time. This is good news for him and gives him time and space to grow.
