Chinese basketball ushered in a new genius - Yang Hansen, who is 2.18 meters tall and cuts through the sky like a shooting star. He is not just the "little Yao Ming" we rumor, in his vigorous youth, he has written his own basketball chapter, injecting endless expectations and hopes into the future of Chinese basketball.
In the NBA, the basketball hall of the West, many senior reporters have poured in on Yang Hansen.
Especially in the eyes of the newly promoted NBA champion, the Denver Nuggets, Yang not only inherited the mantle of Yao Ming, but also the Chinese version of Jokic, and they saw the shadow of Mr. Jokic in Yang.
Amazingly, Yang Hansen is only 18 years old, and he has already shown his strength in the recent World Youth Championship: averaging 13 points, 10 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 5 blocks per game, which not only proves his excellence, but also justifiably ranks among the top basketball in China.
When Nuggets reporters witnessed Yang's brilliant performance, they were convinced that the Chinese basketball scene had found its next successor. And Yang Hansen did not stop there, he once again brought us a basketball feast. At the East Asian Youth Games, the Chinese U18 men's basketball team led by him beat the U16 men's basketball team of Chinese Taipei with a 12-point lead.
In this game, Yang Hansen completely unlocked his "superstar mode", he scored 24 points, 18 rebounds, 5 assists, 8 blocks and 2 steals alone, almost single-handedly dominated the rhythm of the game, his height of 2.18 meters on the court like an unstoppable battleship.
In the competition of the national team, Yang Hansen once again proved his dominance. He not only won the internal duel with Zhou Qi, but also gradually emerged and became a cutting-edge force and leader of the men's basketball team. Compared to Zhou Qi's gradually dimming light, Yang Hansen's star shined. But more importantly, Yang Hansen's excellent passing ability and versatility in key moments are enough to earn him the respect of the team and even the entire basketball world.
Yang's real age became another unique advantage for him. Unlike the occasional age-adjustment phenomenon in Chinese sports, Yang Hansen has been in the spotlight since he was a child, honing his skills under Serbian coaches, and his 18-year-old is a true 18-year-old.
In any case, Yang has drawn a grand blueprint for the future of basketball in China. He is likely to be the most critical fulcrum of the post-Yao era. In this context, Zhou Qi's position is gradually precarious. But no matter what, we firmly believe that in the new basketball era, the Chinese men's basketball team will create more brilliance, and Yang Hansen will be the brightest star.
