The high-profile NBA regular season continues. The recent news that Yang Hansen's Trail Blazers easily defeated the remnant Lakers 122-108 has attracted the attention of fans. It is reported that in this game, Chinese interior star Yang Hansen achieved a new high in NBA regular season playing time, but his sluggish performance was questioned by many fans. Although Yang Hansen failed to play his own characteristics in the previous three regular season games, the new Trail Blazers coach Splitter still gave absolutely enough trust. In this battle, Yang Hansen got 7 minutes and 22 seconds of playing time in the first half, but he went 0 for 3 on the offensive end and was unable to attack and defend. The Lakers' inside man Ayton almost beat Yang Hansen, but the latter played even more time than Klingen.

It can be said that the opportunity given by the Trail Blazers to Yang Hansen is absolutely enough. Although the Lakers lacked the dual cores of James and Doncic, the Trail Blazers still could not open up the score in the first half. In such a stalemate, the Trail Blazers were still able to find time to play Yang Hansen, which undoubtedly proved the team's importance to this new Chinese interior star. Moreover, before the game started, the Trail Blazers also reported that Robert Williams would be sent to the Development League. Of course, Lowe's devolution to the NBA Development League was more to prepare for his comeback in the regular season, but in the next game it was also confirmed that the Trail Blazers would completely rotate Klingen's inside lineup with Yang Hansen.

In fact, the Trail Blazers' small lineup has great instability. Moreover, Split is not as good at using small lineups as Billups, so Lowe's comeback is also an essential inside rotation for the Trail Blazers. Moreover, Lowe's attendance rate in the past two seasons was only 16%, which forced Split to make two preparations. In other words, even if Lowe can return to the level of a starting midfielder in the NBA Finals, the Trail Blazers will not stop cultivating Yang Hansen. Moreover, Klingen's current physical fitness is not enough to carry the game for more than 30 minutes. Before Lowe officially returned, Yang Hansen was still the Trail Blazers' second backup center.

In this battle, the main reason why the Trail Blazers were able to defeat the remnant Lakers was the outstanding performance of main center Klingen. This also reflects that the new Trail Blazers head coach Split is obviously better at using the center to drive the team's offensive and defensive ends, and there is a high probability that Billups will not return this season. Therefore, Yang Hansen will definitely continue to get opportunities in the Trail Blazers' lineup. Especially Lowe's glass attributes cannot allow Trail Blazers head coach Split to bet on one person. Moreover, Yang Hansen has been training inside under Split since joining the NBA this summer. This all-around inside coach from the Spurs will definitely support Yang Hansen's growth.

In summary, the Trail Blazers have not given up their plan to train Yang Hansen at this stage. The latter will still be the first substitute center besides Klingen in the future regular season. Even if Lowe may return in the next NBA regular season, I believe Yang Hansen may not necessarily be sent to the NBA Development League.
