It's so tough! Career low! NBA Commissioner comments on Yang Hansen

Hard, really hard, another day freezing on the bench.

In back-to-back G League games representing Rip City Remix, Yang Hansen totaled 47 points, 21 rebounds, and 5 assists, then was recalled by the Trail Blazers to play in the home game against the Jazz (124-114). However, he only appeared for 48 seconds at the very end, just running back and forth without recording any stats......

48 seconds marks Yang Hansen's personal career low for single-game playing time in NBA regular-season games, with the previous shortest being 1 minute and 2 seconds (against the Spurs).

Yang Hansen can easily handle G League-level competition, but as the 16th overall pick, he still needs to prove himself in NBA regular-season games, or rather, he really lacks opportunities.

So far,the Trail Blazers have a record of 32 wins and 35 losses, ranking 10th in the West, leading the 11th-place Grizzlies by 8.5 games, essentially securing a play-in tournament spot. They will undoubtedly fight hard for a playoff berth, making it difficult for them to focus time and energy on developing young players.

Speaking of which, the Trail Blazers' two main centers currently are quite durable. So far this season, Clingan has played 62 games, averaging 12 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 1.6 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 52.4%; even the notoriously injury-prone Robert Williams has played 46 games, averaging 6.9 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.5 blocks per game, with a shooting percentage of 73.1%.

It's worth noting that,NBA Commissioner Adam Silver recently discussed Yang Hansen, stating that despite limited playing time and shuttling between the NBA and G League, he is a superstar in China attracting massive attention.

Regardless, Yang Hansen is China's only active NBA player and a long-awaited first-round pick, naturally drawing full attention while carrying immense pressure that's hard to breathe under, especially now with difficulties getting playing time leading to a flood of criticism.

"Focus on doing good deeds, don't worry about the future"

Opportunities will always come, but before that, one must hone the skills to seize them, because opportunities only come to those who are prepared.
