The Trail Blazers beat the Nuggets on free throws, Yang Hansen was abandoned, Klingen had 5 points and 15 rebounds

In the NBA regular season, the Trail Blazers completed a major reversal at home. Grant made a free throw in the last 1.4 seconds to kill the Nuggets. The team also won a three-game winning streak. The Trail Blazers currently rank fourth in the Western Conference with 4 wins and 2 losses. Yang Hansen did not play in this game. Starting center Klingen scored 5 points and 15 rebounds. Lowe, who came off the bench, scored 4 points and 4 rebounds. Dupu Reese played 7 minutes and 28 seconds and made 0 of 2 shots without scoring.

In the first five games, Yang Hansen averaged 5.8 minutes per game, scoring only 1.8 points, 0.8 rebounds, and 0.4 blocks, and his shooting percentage was only 22.2%. In the last game against the Jazz, Yang Hansen only played 3 minutes and 47 seconds. He scored 2 points, 1 turnover and 2 fouls on 1 of 1 shots. Not only was it the lowest playing time in his career, but as an inside player, he did not get a single rebound. Therefore, head coach Split did not let Yang Hansen play in this game, but gave Rowe and Dupu-Reese a lot of playing time.

The first few games of the regular season should have been Yang Hansen's best opportunity to express himself, but he did not seize it. Previously, two inside substitutes, Lowe and Dupu-Reese, could not play due to injuries and other reasons. The team only had two inside players, Klingen and Yang Hansen. Klingen was already very good and perfect as a second-year pick, but Yang Hansen obviously could not keep up with the rhythm on the court. He was not fast enough, not good at physical confrontation, and lacked confidence and decisiveness on the offensive end. There were also a series of things off the court, so he was abandoned by the head coach.

Recently, fans at home and abroad have expressed their dissatisfaction with Yang Hansen. For example, he took his girlfriend to the United States during his rookie season. American netizens often photographed him and his girlfriend going shopping, shopping or eating together. These things will take up a lot of time and will definitely affect training and competition. In addition, after the game against the Lakers, some fans photographed him taking his girlfriend, team and others out for barbecue late at night and early in the morning. He had just finished the game, even if he was not going back to review, it was time to rest at this point, but Yang Hansen went out for barbecue. No wonder he has been in poor condition.

Yang Hansen gained 16 pounds a few months after arriving in the United States. I believe the Trail Blazers coaching team asked him to gain muscle and weight, but what he gained was obviously not muscle, but fat. In today's game, the Trail Blazers Split coach did not give Yang Hansen playing time. This may also be a warning and reminder. In the NBA, you must work harder to have a chance to play. You must go all out on the court, otherwise you will soon be eliminated by this league. At present, the Trail Blazers have many insiders such as Klingen, Lowe, Dupu-Reese, etc., and the competition will be more intense.

Klingen played for 24 minutes and 21 seconds today. Although he only scored 5 points on 2 of 8 shots, he turned into a "rebound maniac" and scored 15 rebounds, the highest in the game, 1 rebound more than Jokic who played 37 minutes. It is really amazing. Klingen is only a second-year rookie. He played in 67 games last season and started 37 of them. He averaged 6.5 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.6 blocks in 19.8 minutes per game. This season, he started all 6 games and averaged 9.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.3 blocks in 25.7 minutes per game. It can be seen that Klingen is working hard and has improved a lot this summer. It is not a big problem to predict that Klingen will average a double-double per game this season.

Yang Hansen should learn more from Klingen, communicate more with the head coach and teammates, express himself more in training, and strive for more playing opportunities. Or when sitting on the bench, pay more attention to the performance of your teammates on the court. When your teammates make difficult goals, blocks, or other wonderful performances, stand up, wave a towel, and shout a few times to express congratulations or celebrations. This will also make the fans at the scene pay more attention to you. No matter what, you still have to walk the road step by step, so come on!
