In the end of Group C of the Asian preliminaries, the Chinese men's basketball team was defeated by the Japanese team 73-76 and lost the opportunity to win two consecutive group games. The 18-year-old star Yang Hansen performed eye-catchingly, scoring a total of 15 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in the two games, showing amazing potential and being expected to become the future star of the Chinese men's basketball team. His outstanding performance and youthful vitality have given people a glimmer of hope for the Chinese men's basketball team.
As an 18-year-old young player, Yang Hansen has amazing physical qualities. Standing at 2.18 meters tall, he has a towering body with an arm span of 2.24 meters and a palm width of 24 centimeters. The astonishing stats of standing up and touching 2.85m show his potential under the basket. His performance is not only statistically evident, but also in terms of technique and awareness on the field. As a center, Yang Hansen can score and grab rebounds, especially on the defensive end, and frequently causes problems for opponents.
(1) Yang Hansen's style and characteristics
Young has shown his versatility on the pitch. Not only is he a scorer, but he's also a player who is good at assists and defense. Yang is a dangerous offensive end, scoring from the low post while also helping his teammates create open shots. On the defensive end, he is skilled in blocking, has excellent rebounding awareness, and is able to effectively protect his basket. Yang Hansen's all-round skills make him the team's scoring point and one of the important pillars of the Chinese men's basketball team in the future.
(2) The challenge of Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin
Compared to Yang, 27-year-old Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin face more challenges. As a player who has won in both the NBA and CBA leagues, Zhou Qi's individual talent and strength should not be underestimated. However, in recent years, Zhou Qi has been frequently injured and his form has been unstable, which has also become one of the main reasons why he has difficulty gaining a foothold in the national team. And Wang Zhelin was controversial because of his performance in the Asian Games "playing too soft", which also directly affected his status in the national team.
(3) The rise of the new forces
Although Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin did not perform well in the national team, the emergence of new forces such as Hu Jinqiu and Yang Hansen brought new hope to the Chinese men's basketball team. Hu Jinqiu's solid performance on the inside has been an indispensable contribution to the team, while Yang Hansen's fledgling performance has been excellent, making people look forward to his future development. The rise of these young players has injected fresh blood into the Chinese men's basketball team and made fans full of confidence in the future.
The Chinese men's basketball team has experienced a series of changes and challenges in recent years, with veterans gradually withdrawing and new forces emerging. As a representative of the younger generation, Yang Hansen has shown outstanding performance and potential, and is known as a future star. In contrast, veterans such as Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin are facing injuries and poor performances, and internal competition is becoming more intense. However, the Chinese men's basketball team has a vigorous new force, as well as the experience and strength of the veterans complement each other, I believe that in the future games, they can show more outstanding performance and add new glory to the Chinese basketball industry.
