Yang Hansen ended the first two games of the summer league, shocking the world while also ushering in new challenges.

Yang Hansen's first two games of the summer league can definitely be regarded as a stunning appearance. This stunning comes from both the Eastern Hokage that American fans have not seen in years, and also from his own persuasive skill package and comprehensiveness. In other words: he already has this strength, but he just needs a platform for everyone to see. In the first game, Xiao Yang still showed excellent tandem ability and precise assists while his language was almost inaccessible. That is not only a reflection of the stadium vision, but also a release of self-confidence. The team composition of the summer league is extremely complex. From a rookie who just turned 19 to a veteran who is still on the contract at the age of 27 or 28, the tactical system and chaotic execution are the norm. In such an environment, the coaching staff has never focused on data, but on the player's style, personality and adaptability displayed under extreme conditions.

Xiao Yang did it. His confidence, calmness, and ability to naturally integrate with his teammates quickly gained recognition from his coach and teammates: not only did his teammates be willing to pass the ball to him on the court, but even raised the outside world's expectations for him on the court. The intensity of the second field is an expected upgrade. Facing the Grizzlies' five small lineup, the Trail Blazers were obviously caught off guard in the fourth quarter. He was substituted in the game to try to match the pace, but was soon sent back on the court. This is the first time he has encountered double-teams, frequent defense switching and extremely fast pace in NBA-level games.

The problems are of course exposed: physical fitness reserves, positioning skills, continuity of rebound protection, etc. But this is exactly the significance of Xia Lian - exposing problems, formulating plans, and continuously improving. For a young man who has just turned 20, there is no more valuable practical scenario than this.

It is worth mentioning that Hexen's on-court performance, off-court fan base and business influence have won him some kind of resource: both teammates, media, and internal teams will give him extra attention and patience. But this kind of attention will not be extended infinitely. The NBA is a cruel league, and real integration depends on hard power and soft communication.

The most critical point is language ability. Whether it is tactical communication, on-site communication, or daily interactions in the locker room, language is the soft barrier he must break through next. At this point, I am not worried that Hansen's learning ability, emotional intelligence, and adaptability are far above the average level in my observations. Language will not be the reason that prevents him from going far.

As for the Asian Cup, there are many discussions on whether to participate. Some fans are worried that this will interfere with his pace and integration in the NBA. But in the long run, Henson's NBA path must be planned on a year-on-year basis, and it is impossible to achieve immediate results with a few games. If he and the team and the national team are willing to make trade-offs and coordination, then any choice deserves respect. There is no template for the NBA's road to success, and every node can become a part of the accumulation.

Hansen's journey has just begun, and stunning, difficulties, pulling and growth will come one after another. He has proved that he is worth looking forward to and is already fighting for every opportunity to play in his own way. Let us keep supporting the rest and wait for him to move forward step by step. Xia Lian has two games left. I hope he can play happily and continue to let the world see his basketball language.
