Yang Hansen tried to reach out to pull up his opponent but was rejected. Harten clenched his fists and rushed over. Please pay attention to the referee!

The NBA regular season has resumed, with the Thunder facing the Trail Blazers at home. Facing the Thunder, which currently ranks first in the league and is full of momentum, the Trail Blazers seemed helpless from the beginning, and the point difference quickly widened. After three quarters, the Thunder already held a huge 28-point lead, and the game lost suspense early on. In the end, the Thunder defeated the Trail Blazers 122-95 and won 9 consecutive victories. But under the gloomy cloud of defeat, Yang Hansen's performance had many highlights, especially his participation in a fight for the first time in his NBA career.

In this game, Yang Hansen got 17 minutes of playing time, and finally handed over a comprehensive transcript of 8 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block. Facing the defense of Thunder insider Hartenstein, Yang Hansen did not hesitate after receiving the ball at the top of the key, and decisively took off from outside the three-point line. This was the first three-pointer in his NBA career. In addition to firing from the outside, Yang Hansen's pace inside is also eye-catching. When he was holding the ball in the low post, he performed a dream-like continuous turning movement, shook off the defender and then hit "2+1" hard. Later, he completed tacit cooperation with his teammates and staged a powerful catch and dunk. With 8 points scored in this game, Yang Hansen's NBA regular season career total points officially surpassed his senior Zhou Qi and rose to fifth place on the all-time scoring list of Chinese players. CCTV Sports specially published an article praising this as a "milestone night" and ran the headline "Yang Hansen scored more than Zhou Qi, please continue at the next stop!", placing high hopes on the young center.

There was an episode during the game, which showed Yang Hansen's mature and calm side on the court. With more than 9 minutes left in the second quarter, the Thunder's Ajay Mitchell launched a quick counterattack and tried to pull up a layup. At this time, Trail Blazers forward Rupert's defensive action was a little rough and he was directly pulled down. Upon seeing this, Yang Hansen immediately stretched out his hand to pull up his opponent, but was rejected. This dangerous move instantly ignited the anger of the Thunder players. The smell of gunpowder increased sharply on the court. Players from both sides quickly gathered and some physical conflicts occurred. Seeing that the emotional Thunder center Hartenstein was about to rush forward, just when the situation was about to escalate, Yang Hansen stepped forward in time. He remained extremely calm and stood in front of Hartenstein, acting as a "peacemaker". At the same time, he paid attention to the referees. Multiple referees also intervened immediately to successfully prevent the conflict from deteriorating. This is the first time in Yang Hansen's NBA career that he has participated in a fight.

Although in terms of efficiency, he only hit 3 goals in 11 shots in 17 minutes, and his three-point shooting rate was also low, which exposed the problem that his finishing ability under high-intensity confrontation still needs to be polished. But these 11 shots and 6 three-point attempts were both Yang Hansen's career highs, and his playing time also set a new record. This fully shows that when the game loses suspense, or during the team's inspection period, his teammates are willing to pass the ball to him, and the coaching staff also encourages him to end the offense. Trail Blazers head coach Split also bluntly said after the game that it is a good thing to let Yang Hansen play to experience the intensity of such a top team. He also objectively pointed out that Yang Hansen's passing and other talents have not yet been fully realized in the NBA, which means that he still has huge room for exploration. For a rookie, he is not afraid of making mistakes, but he is afraid of not having the chance to make them. Although this game was a disastrous defeat, it was a valuable leveling experience for Yang Hansen personally.
