Gave it all! Yang Hansen slides in as the toughest man! Trail Blazers’ 28-year-old center suffers sudden injury

At the Trail Blazers’ celebration banquet, little Smith was absent, and no one dared to start eating.

This guy was truly outrageous, shooting 6 of 21 overall, missing all 10 three-point attempts with no points from beyond the arc, clearly cold but still playing about 41 minutes...

My brother was so angry he threw a water bottle and started venting on the spot.

In the end, the Trail Blazers won 111-105, having also taken a 103-102 victory in the previous game, achieving back-to-back wins over the Rockets and thoroughly dominating this so-called championship contender team missing Shengen.

Trail Blazers’ stats are as follows:

Rockets’ stats are as follows:

Yang Hansen’s role in this game was to continue battling the league’s strongest man “Aquaman” Adams, who threw him to the floor multiple times; in 13 minutes, he only scored 2 points with 1 rebound and 1 assist, finishing with a plus-minus of zero.

The Trail Blazers vs. Rockets game featured a long-awaited intense physical battle, with defense ramped up to the maximum.

Of course, Yang Hansen is never an easy target; with a sliding tackle, he made Adams deeply realize what it means to be a fearless rookie facing a tiger.

It’s worth mentioning thatRove had to leave the game early due to a right knee injury—this 28-year-old veteran is also known as an injury-prone player in the NBA, rarely playing many games; over eight seasons, he has only appeared in 260 regular-season games, averaging just 32.5 games per season.

If nothing unexpected happens, Rove will be sidelined for a while, and when he returns, he may no longer wear the Trail Blazers jersey. His current season contract salary is $13.29 million, and he is highly sought after by playoff-level teams in the trade market.

This is not schadenfreude; logically, after Rove’s absence or departure, Yang Hansen will naturally become the Trail Blazers’ primary backup center, gaining increased playing time and tactical importance. Especially offensively, he won’t be limited to lurking in the corner to space the floor. As a rookie, he has yet to develop consistent three-point shooting in NBA games.

Speaking of which, the Trail Blazers have been impressive this season,recently winning five straight games, currently holding a 19-20 record and climbing to ninth in the Western Conference, four games ahead of the 11th-place Clippers and five games behind the eighth-place Rockets.They are very likely to secure a play-in tournament spot this year, aiming for a playoff berth.
