James Rodman s philosophy of plundering, why is Yang Hansen s modesty a betrayal of competition?

8:12pm, 14 July 2025Basketball

In the NBA, there is no morality to grab rebounds. Yang Hansen was too humble in the summer league "making rebounds".

In the second game of the summer league, Yang Hansen scored 10 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, and had an amazing performance of dunks and a make-up dunk. Overall, his performance in the game is remarkable, and of course there are disadvantages, such as 5 mistakes. However, Yang Hansen sometimes is overly modest on the court, especially when he gets rebounding. In some rebounding terms, he doesn't grab the teammates' position, so he doesn't want to steal it. This humble attitude may not be a good thing for his NBA career.

Humility is a unique virtue of the Chinese, but in the NBA's data colosseum, humility may become a shackle for survival.

1. There is no morality to grab rebounds

Let rebounds be "morally correct" from the team's perspective, but from the perspective of competitive sports itself, it is simply unforgivable.

The situation of plundering data in the NBA arena is not uncommon, and sometimes it is even crazy. There are endless farces in NBA history to make up for triple-double. Ricky Davis of the Cavaliers had a triple-double with one rebound, and threw himself at his own basket to make up for the data. Bob Sula has also done the same thing, deliberately missed a layup and made a rebound and made a triple-double. Similar to Antetokounmpo's refusal to end up in order to make up triple-double, the matter of collecting data has also caused a lot of controversy.

In terms of rebounding data, super big stars are not immune to the vulgarity, and Rodman, the benchmark figure in rebounding plunder, is a typical example. As the NBA's rebounding champion for many years, Rodman has to compete for every goal, including the rebounds in his teammates. Not to mention the Pistons era, the big bugs in the Bulls only have to cut out the rebounds that Pippen had obviously won.

James also had this situation. There are often dark guys who criticized him for brushing rebounding data because his frontcourt rebounding rate is extremely low, and most of the rebounding balls are taken by his teammates after they get stuck. The famous scene of James grabbing rebounds was in the Heat era. Bosh had obviously won the rebound, but James snatched it from his teammates.

When it comes to data swiping, only mocking and accusing the comedians who have no bottom line to beat triple-double, there is no intention of accuse Rodman and James. From another perspective, Rodman and James even have to grab rebounds from their teammates, which is precisely the desire for rebounds, which reflects the spirit of competitive sports.

Team sports can be selfless, but competitive sports itself should be more aggressive. Yang Hansen demonstrated the selflessness of the team, but had not yet shown a crazier aggressiveness.

2. It is not a good thing for Yang Hansen to be too humble.

played 26 minutes and grabbed 5 rebounds. From the data point of view, Yang Hansen's rebounding efficiency is not too bad, but it is definitely not good. At least with the NBA jumping men and rebounding monsters everywhere, Yang Hansen's rebounding data is not good. The two games were converted into less than 7 rebounds in 36 minutes, which is not optimistic for a qualified rotation center.

The main reason for this problem is actually because Yang Hansen himself is too humble.

In this game, Yang Hansen mainly focused on blocking positions at the bottom of the basket, holding back his defensive players. When he saw the direction of the rebound falling, he stopped rushing up and gave the rebound to his teammates. Because of this humility, at least three rebounds that should have been taken off the court were lost and were grabbed by the opponent who suddenly rushed out. It was a pity. In addition to rookies, the summer league is a group of job seekers who can play temporary jobs in the NBA. In order to attract the attention of scouts from each team, of course, the main goal is to fill in the data bar. It is precisely because of this that there are few cases of high assist data in the summer league. Everyone focuses on their own offense and gains data. Too selflessness may lead to becoming an invisible person on the court.

Yang Hansen certainly doesn't need to worry about this. As the No. 16 pick, he is the biggest player in this game, and he has a rookie contract for four years to find a job without worry. However, in essence, the NBA is still a battlefield of plunder. It may be nothing to let some data in the summer league. Once this behavioral habit does not change in the NBA main game, it may affect his game influence. This is where the mentality needs to be changed.

3. What problems did Yang Hansen's rebound expose?

We must affirm Yang Hansen's outstanding performance in this game. His passes are still excellent and his offensive aggressiveness is also very strong. Especially once dunks and one patch is one, they all show his field advantages. However, Xiao Yang still needs to do better in some small details of rebounding.

The biggest problem As mentioned earlier, Yang Hansen is not enough in terms of aggressiveness in rebounding. "Let the rebound" may feed his teammates, but as a player who has not yet gained a foothold in the NBA, it is easy to criticize the problem of being too soft in the game. Bosh is more famous in the NBA who is criticized for being too soft for making rebounds. He often jokes that he is a slap in the first place. In fact, most of his energy is focused on helping his teammates get stuck in the position, and the rebound data is basically taken away by Haslem and James.

Turner and Lopez the Big Big are also typical cricketers. Their rebounding data is very low, because they are helping their teammates get stuck in position, preventing their opponents from rushing to grab rebounds, and allowing teammates to easily get rebounds. However, these players have proved their players in the NBA and no longer need rebounding data to demonstrate their value, but Yang Hansen is different.

In addition to making rebounding habits not very good, Yang Hansen's positioning also has problems, which are mainly reflected in two aspects. The first is to get stuck in position. He will seriously stuck the player on his defense, but when he is about to jump and grab the rebound, he will often be pushed away by the opponent all at once, causing him to lose his position and unable to win the rebound. This is a typical example of insufficient strength in the lower limbs, and it is impossible to completely get stuck..

The second is that the awareness of preventing opponents from rushing to grab rebounds is not enough. The NBA is full of jumping men, and even the guards often rush into the basket and steal rebounds. When Yang Hansen gave the rebound, his teammates didn't react, but the opponent rushed up from Yang Hansen's side and stealed the rebound. When he was stuck, he was not doing enough to hedge rebounds.

If you want to summarize the rebounding ability, it is fundamentally a problem of rebounding smell. It is very fatal to not make good predictions for rebounding, the rebounding sense is not keen, and the basic data on which the center depends for survival is not good, and it is a serious matter for the center to not protect the rebounding well.

Yang Hansen has a certain degree of offensive aggressiveness in the summer league (in advance in passing, moving, dunk, etc.), and these abilities can further explore his potential. There is also a certain sense of "relaxation" in the NBA confrontation, such as smiling foolishly after being pushed, integrating into the team well, actively drawing teammates, chatting with everyone before and after the game, etc. These will surely become his capital for growth.

However, he also has many common problems with young players, such as eating, physical fitness, shooting and other problems, which can be achieved through targeted training. The only thing to mention is the attitude of rebounding (especially the matter of making rebounds). Other excellent qualities are the key to ensuring Yang Hansen's upper limit, but rebounding as a basic function of center is the key to ensuring the lower limit.

In the NBA's data strangle field, virtues sometimes become survival flaws.
