15+11! The seventh pick is really stepping up! Thanks to Yang Hansen.

Yang Hansen pressured the opponent so much that they started hitting three-pointers.

A two-handed dunk right under the basket.

In the first quarter, Klingen scored 9 points and grabbed 8 rebounds (5 offensive boards) in under 8 minutes. By halftime, in about 11 minutes, he had contributed 10 points and 9 rebounds, nearly a double-double, an absolutely above-par performance, especially on offense, perfectly demonstrating his abilities and talent as the first-round seventh pick.

Yang Hansen managed to get 4 points and 6 rebounds in approximately 9 minutes during the first half.

Strongly finishing over Bojemski under the basket.

Shaking off Horford in the corner, then elevating for a flying layup.

Klingen is a sophomore, Yang Hansen a rookie; within the Trail Blazers, they are not rivals but share a healthy competition that pushes each other to grow faster and better.

Speaking of the Warriors, a team that emphasizes fast offense and defense, it’s tough for opposing centers who get winded after running a few plays. Fortunately, the Trail Blazers currently have two centers who can share playing time and each bring unique strengths.

In the third quarter, the Warriors launched a comeback and intensified their defense on Yang Hansen. Our Chinese player struggled for a while but recovered in time, confidently sinking his first three-pointer of the game after fooling Hield’s defense.

Backing down hard, seemingly ready to power through but actually scanning the court, then jumping to assist a teammate who scored inside.

In the final quarter, Yang Hansen played through the entire decisive moment,ending with about 20 minutes on the court, shooting 4 of 11 (1 of 4 from three), contributing 9 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block, with the rebound count marking a personal NBA preseason career high.The Trail Blazers ultimately lost to the Warriors 111-118.

Overall, his performance was decent but he still hasn’t fully adapted to the Warriors’ fast-paced style. However, it was a big improvement compared to his first game where he only scored 4 points, grabbed 4 rebounds, and fouled out with six fouls.

As for Klingen, he put up a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds (7 offensive boards) in about 20 minutes.With his rebounding skills, Yang Hansen will find it hard to take his starting spot anytime soon.

The Warriors’ team stats were as follows:

Curry surprisingly went to the free-throw line 13 times, making 12, finishing with an impressive 28 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists — a rare all-around performance.
