Chinese men s basketball legend Bater sent blessings to Yang Hansen and made 5 suggestions

At the 2025 NBA Draft, Chinese men's basketball player Yang Hansen was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with the No. 16 pick in the first round. This result not only broke the outside world's previous predictions of his "first round final", but also caused a stir in the domestic and foreign basketball circles. For a time, countless blessings and expectations came like a tide, and among them, the message from former NBA San Antonio Spurs champion Bartel carried the earnest expectations and profound experience of his predecessors.

The moment when Yang Hansen's name was read out at the draft, Bater, who was far away in China, could not hide his excitement. As the first player in Chinese basketball history to win the NBA championship, Bartel knows the significance of this moment to Yang Hansen and even the entire Chinese basketball. "I was really excited to hear that Yang Hansen was selected by the NBA!" Bartel's tone was full of joy and pride in his tone. This excitement comes from the satisfaction of the breakthrough of the younger generation, and also from the longing for the future of Chinese basketball.

As a "survivor" who has been working hard in the NBA field for many years and has experienced countless ups and downs, Bartel gave Yang Hansen five valuable suggestions without reservation, and every word is the result of his career.

1. "You must practice your body stronger." Bartel emphasized. In the NBA, a field full of muscle collisions and strength confrontation, physical conditions are undoubtedly the foundation of their foothold. Looking back at NBA history, countless talented players failed because they were unable to adapt to high-intensity confrontations. For Yang Hansen, who has a relatively thin figure, it is urgent to improve his physical fitness. Only by making your body stronger can you not lose weight in the confrontation with the NBA inside monsters and contribute more strength to the team.

2. "Training is the cornerstone of success." Bartel regards training as the core of his basketball career. In the NBA, talent is important, but continuous and high-quality training is the key to turning talent into strength. From daily physical training to technical polishing, from team tactical exercises to personal special improvement, Yang Hansen needs to maintain a high degree of self-discipline and devote himself to every training, so that his skills can continue to improve over time.

3. "Don't be afraid of making mistakes!" When you are young, you must dare to fight, dare to fight, don't be burdened, and just rush! Bartle encouraged Yang Hansen to let go of his psychological burden and release the vitality and motivation of young players. When you first enter the NBA, it is inevitable to make mistakes, but it is these mistakes that can help Yang Hansen grow faster. In history, many superstars have experienced countless setbacks in the early stages of their careers, and it is their spirit of daring to try and not fearing failure that has achieved future glory.

4. "You must think carefully about your opponent." As the saying goes, know yourself and your opponent, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles! Bater incorporated the ancient Chinese military wisdom into the basketball court. In the NBA, every opponent has unique technical characteristics and game style. From a traditional center who is good at back-to-back singles and flexible footsteps to a modern insider with both projection and response skills, Yang Hansen needs to be familiar with the playing styles of different opponents in a short period of time, so as to formulate effective response strategies in the game. Only by knowing the opponent well can you take the initiative on both offense and defense.

5. "Perseverance is the key to success." Batel said earnestly. The journey of the NBA is long and arduous. The troubles of injuries, game failures, and external doubts may all become stumbling blocks on the way forward. Only by having a perseverance can one persevere in difficulties and rise up in setbacks. Just like Bartel himself, he has encountered many ups and downs on the road to the NBA, but it is precisely because of this tenacity and persistence that he finally won an NBA championship.

After sending out five suggestions, Bartel sent his most sincere blessing to Yang Hansen: I wish Yang Hansen to walk on the waves and climb to the peak forever! Playing out the style of the Chinese men's basketball team. This blessing is not only a personal expectation for Yang Hansen, but also a beautiful vision for the future of Chinese basketball. Here, I also believe that Yang Hansen can write his own page on the NBA arena. Come on!
