Yang Hansen's first season in the CBA, he won three big awards, namely the best star player, the best defensive player, and the best team, among them, the most valuable is the best defensive player, in my impression, this award is generally like Zhou Qi, Shen Zijie, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng will have the honor, and now the CBA league will award this award to a young man who is less than 19 years old, which shows how much the CBA league attaches importance to him.
However, such an award is undoubtedly very ironic and funny, because all fans who have watched Yang Hansen's many games, the first impression in their hearts will not feel how high Yang Hansen's defensive skills are and how wide the defensive coverage is, after all, he is still a rookie rookie, how can he be compared with his predecessors?
Just after the CBA's major awards were announced, some media people posted ESPN expert Jonathan Givoni's comments about Yang Hansen.
If you often pay attention to the NBA draft, you should be no stranger to this Jonathan Givoni, this person is a well-known scout and draft expert of ESPN, he has actually paid attention to Yang Hansen for a long time, has published a lot of opinions on Yang Hansen's draft predictions, and has also come to China many times to watch Yang Hansen's games, therefore, his comments on Yang Hansen are still very objective and sharp, after all, he is a foreigner, and his speech will be more direct, but this can make us better understand the current situation of Chinese basketball.
Here Givoni said a few points about Yang Hansen, first of all, Jonathan Givony is very open to Yang Hansen not to participate in the NBA draft this year, he is very open to many domestic fans, he believes that Yang Hansen has the opportunity to not go this year, and there will be a chance to go in the next three years.
Talking about Yang Hansen's performance this season, Givoni believes that his performance this season has been up and down, and the national team has not performed well, and at present, he is still far from the NBA, and should continue to hone in one or two seasons.
Yang Hansen's form has been up and down, and Givoni believes that it has something to do with Yang's intensive schedule this season, "Yang Hansen has hardly been rested".
However, in the end, it is still Yang Hansen's physical talent that cannot be reached, and Givoni next pointed out Yang Hansen's three fatal shortcomings.
One is that Yang Hansen's footwork and explosiveness are not enough (his body mobility is not strong), and blocking is not what he is good at.
Ironically, Young is the DPO this season, averaging 2.2 blocks per game, but in the eyes of experts, these are nothing.
The second is that Yang Hansen has no three-point shooting ability, "This season, he almost didn't shoot three-point shots, let alone hit, although his skills are very delicate, he can also block and dismantle, and his back singles and passes are also remarkable, but if his shooting skills are not improved, I don't think he can play in the NBA at all", Givoni did not reserve, so said.
Three-point shooting has always been Yang Hansen's shortcoming, this season Yang Hansen averaged only 0.6 three-point shots per game, only 22.6% shooting rate, so when he holds the ball in the high post, the opponent will basically not use too much intensity to defend, the opponent will let Yang Hansen easily pass the ball, as long as he does a good job of defending the opponent.
Therefore, a question arises here, that is, since Yang Hansen has good kung fu, why has he not been able to develop his three-point ability in the Qingdao team?
Personally, I think this should be related to Qingdao's coaching staff, and it is also the most criticized part of the CBA team, that is, the development of technical centers is very narrow, and it is still in the 90s of the last century, take Hu Jinqiu as an example, he can almost achieve a 70% shooting rate in the middle range in the past few seasons, but the three-point output is also quite low, is Hu Jinqiu not going to shoot? No, it is Guangsha who does not let him shoot.
Third, staying in the CBA league will not improve much.
At the end of the video, Givoni talks about how the scouts felt after going to the CBA.
"The scouts who went to the CBA league site inspection were a little disappointed, the overall level of the league has declined in recent years, and the quality of foreign aid is not as good as in the past, when these scouts saw Yang Hansen play with their own eyes, they all thought that he still needs to improve a lot of aspects, and hope that he will improve the strength of the defense, strengthen the rebounding ability, and develop outside shooting."
This is also very straightforward, starting from Yang Hansen's own weaknesses, and then combined with the analysis of the league environment in which he is located, it is concluded that one of the reasons for Yang Hansen's slow progress is inseparable from environmental factors.
