On April 8, it was reported that on the evening of April 8, the CBA officially announced the major awards of the season, and Yang Hansen, the young center of the Qingdao team, won the best rookie, the best defensive player, and the best team. However, domestic media have previously reported that Yang Hansen will not participate in the NBA draft, which has also triggered relevant comments from media people.
In the selection of the best star player of the year, among the 12 candidates, Yang Hansen finally scored 623 points, beating Cui Yongxi (Guangzhou Longshi) with 226 points and Zou Yang (Fujian Xunxing shares) with 167 points, and won the best rookie.
In the regular season Defensive Player of the Year selection, Yang Hansen finally scored 52 points, beating Moreland (47 points) and Zhu Junlong (41 points) to win the CBA Defensive Player of the Season of the Year.
In the selection of the first team of domestic players, Abdul Salamu (834 points), Hu Jinqiu (715 points), Zhao Jiwei (510 points), Yang Hansen (462 points), and Sun Minghui (431 points) finally successfully ranked among them.
Previously, according to domestic media reports, Qingdao young center Yang Hansen will not participate in this year's NBA draft. The head coach of the Qingdao team, Liu Weiwei, also confirmed the news, believing that Yang Hansen is still too young and does not have all the conditions, and the club hopes that he will continue to improve himself and wait until the conditions are right before going to the NBA.
In this regard, basketball media person Yuan Fang posted a post on social media to comment on Yang Hansen's failure to participate in the NBA draft:
Yang Hansen won the award softly. Congratulations to the Qingdao team, congratulations to the CBA, the story of another future superstar started smoothly, and it was a full house.
But I can't congratulate Yang Hansen, because a person who is unable to decide his own future, there is nothing to congratulate and envy, continue to grow and be strong.
If your heart is really far away, then one day we will be here looking at you in the distance. Come on, young man, be the first yourself!
In this regard, netizens have said, "You always look different! Xiao Yang's current strength, there is no possibility of playing in the NBA!"
"It's ridiculous, the contract is not talked about at this time"
"It's still a problem with China's system, the club has only played for one year after so many years of training, the training cost has not been recovered, and the results have not been obtained, so generally the club and the player will agree to go to the draft in two to three years, but the players in two to three years are older and the draft potential is not great."
"Yao Ming also won a CBA championship before going to the NBA"
"Zeng Fanbo went to the NBA to run for the election, and I don't understand why Yang Hansen didn't go. Even if you don't choose, you can still get a lot of improvement by participating in the summer competition. ”
"I really don't understand, do anyone really think that Yang Hansen will definitely be selected for this year's draft? Will he be able to enter the NBA and have a stable playing time? Which aspect of Yang Hansen's offense and defense can support him to gain a foothold in the NBA? It's still far from it. ”
"It's hopeful that he'll have one more chance to prepare for the draft, to have a chance to play a joint tryout or a development league training camp, and also to try out with various teams. This process is very important for him, and it will also help him a lot, and it will also allow him to better check and fill in the gaps and adapt to the American competition environment in advance. What's more, if you feel that it is not suitable at that time, you can withdraw from the election, and there will be no loss to him or Qingdao. ”
