On August 4th Beijing time, well-known trainer Chris Johnson updated his social media, sharing multiple photos from this training camp, with Yang Hansen visible in them. The group photo shows centers such as Jaren Jackson Jr., Koloko, DeAndre Jordan, and Quin also participating in the same camp.

Recently, he has been undergoing special training in Los Angeles, coached by Johnson. So, what exactly did Yang Hansen learn?


While posting the photos, Johnson also promoted himself, and from this promotion, we can see the training course content from this period.
Johnson wrote: "Building the modern basketball big man—this is my specialty. The league landscape has already changed, and my training philosophy must evolve accordingly. Inside play is no longer just about post-ups; it also includes:
Purposeful pick-and-rolls
Quick pop after the pick, attacking alley-oop opportunities
Short roll—the new generation of post offense
Ball-handling skills for big men
Big men becoming playmaking hubs, not just finishers
Spacing the floor
Three-point shooting ability
Finishing through contact—the hardest skill in basketball
If you are a big man looking to break through and take the next step, feel free to contact me."

For Yang Hansen, whether it's the national team games or the preseason two months later, he will have opportunities to apply what he learned and showcase the results of this special training.
