At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 114-100.
The Qingdao team defeated the Zhejiang team by 14 points at home, which was a small "upset".
Of course, for the meeting of these two teams, many fans are not too concerned about the outcome of the game, and are more concerned about the "alignment" of a group of players.
That is Yu Jiahao of the Zhejiang team and Yang Hansen of the Qingdao team.
The former is an active national team player, which in itself represents a kind of strength.
The latter is known as the hope of the Chinese men's basketball team in the next 10 years, and it is also the most likely new star to step on the NBA stage through the "draft" again after Zhou Qi.
In addition, the two people are in the same position on the field again.
Such a duel, who can refuse?
However, before we talk about the respective performances of this game, let's take a look back at the last time the two teams met, the two players played each other.
Do a simple "review the old and learn the new".
Rewind the clock to December 14, 2023.
At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 102-88, and the two teams were still 14 points apart, but the Zhejiang team that won the game at that time.
Then, Yu Jiahao's statistic is that he played 36 minutes, shot 7-of-13 overall, 5-of-6 free throws, scored a team-high 19, and also had a team-high 15 rebounds, and the most commendable thing was 6 assists and 3 blocks.
It can be said that the data is quite outstanding and comprehensive, and it completely shows his demeanor as an active "national player".
On the other hand, Yang Hansen played 31 minutes, shooting 4 of 11 and 2 of 4 free throws, and got 10 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.
It can be said that no matter in terms of overall efficiency or various data, Yang Hansen is "a comprehensive defeat".
Of course, this is understandable, even if Yang Hansen is strong, he is only 18 years old, and this is also his first year playing in the professional league, and then he met a Yu Jiahao in this game, who is also young, not weaker than himself in height and strength, and even slightly better.
It is normal for Yang Hansen to have a certain "discomfort", and some fans said after the game, how Yang Hansen is, just look at the second meeting between him and Yu Jiahao.
The second time, here it is.
As usual, let's look at Yu Jiahao's data first.
Played 30 minutes, shot 2-of-7 from the field and 2-of-4 from the free-throw line, and finished with six points, 10 rebounds, three assists and two of him.
Look at Yang Hansen again.
Played 37 minutes, shooting 8-of-8 from the field, shooting 100% from the field, and 6-of-10 from the free-throw line, finishing with 22 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 assists.
It can be said that this time the two played each other, and their respective data happened to be the same as the last time.
Even, Yu Jiahao's performance this time can be said to be terrible, not as good as Yang Hansen's performance last time.
It's only been a little over 20 days since the last meeting, and it's really a bit incredible to be able to make such a huge change for a "rookie" in such a short period of time.
You must know that although Yu Jiahao is not the top insider in China at present, there is still a gap between Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin more or less, but he is definitely the existence of the bull's ear in the new generation.
However, in this match, he did not score a single open battle against Yang Hansen.
This is really a bit outrageous.
In other words, is Yang Hansen really strong to this point?
Speaking of which, I remembered that some time ago, the NBA's international scouts came to watch the game on the spot of the Qingdao team, and in an interview with media reporters after the game, they said something like this: Yang Hansen is very good, his skills under the basket and his entire passing ability, but in my opinion, his best is the ability to "learn Xi".
Indeed, for a young and talented player like him, what everyone sees now is really just a "prototype", in other words, as long as the method is appropriate and the environment is suitable, then Yang Hansen can basically reach the point of "look" a day from now until he is 26 years old.
Because he is always improving, always "Xi" with his opponents, and then digesting these "contents" well and turning them into something that truly belongs to him.
That's the core reason why young players really deserve to be expected.
Now everyone knows why, when those "top" talents are going to participate in the draft, many teams are scrambling to "mess up" in order to get him.
Because there is nothing more to look forward to than visible potential, and nothing is more promising than the visible future.
What people have been chasing is the chase itself.
In light of this, those fans who are still arguing about whether Yang Hansen should go to the NBA earlier can also let go of the entanglement.
It is no exaggeration to say that with such a talent, there is basically no room for growth in the CBA.
Hurry up to the NBA, that's where Yang Hansen really shines.
Is the Chinese men's basketball team ready to welcome the next world-class superstar?
