In the past few days, Yang Hansen has been a topic of conversation in the domestic basketball circle, and there are many voices surrounding him about whether to participate in the election. And under such disturbances, Yang Hansen ushered in the first playoff game of his career.
In the end, Qingdao was reversed by Guangzhou in the final quarter, and Qingdao took the lead at the end of the third quarter, but failed to maintain the advantage until the end. And Yang Hansen was also taught a solid lesson. Yang played a total of 42 minutes, shooting 2-of-8 from the field and finishing with seven points, 16 rebounds, one assist, four blocks and seven turnovers.
He was only 1-of-7 in the half and played pretty poorly on the offensive end. He barely made any more offensive play in the second half, and his shooting confidence was severely frustrated in the first playoff game, so it was no surprise that he only scored seven points in the end.
In terms of passing, just by looking at the data, you can see how bad Yang Hansen is. He averaged almost as many assists per game and turnovers per game during the regular season, which was already terrible. But he made seven turnovers with just one assist and actually wasted more than seven offensive rounds.
In the face of high-pressure defense, Yang Hansen played like a recruit who was on the battlefield for the first time, this was indeed his first real playoff game, Yang Hansen was obviously "bluffed" by such a scene, and he has not yet adapted.
Of course, whether it is a poor passing tandem or a poor offensive ability, it is not Yang Hansen's biggest problem. In this game, the biggest problem exposed by Yang Hansen is his inability to defend against pick-and-roll.
Throughout the fourth quarter, Guangzhou under the leadership of Guo Shiqiang almost only played one tactic, which was to block and dismantle Yang Hansen's No. 15 position. Chen Yingjun scored two three-pointers in the early part of the fourth quarter to overtake the score, but Yang Hansen couldn't get out. The second goal didn't completely block the chance, but there was already room to shoot.
Later, Guangzhou's small foreign aid Brown came up, and after scoring a three-pointer in front of Yang Hansen, Yang Hansen began to consciously raise the defensive position. But the result was a huge void on the inside, with Brown breaking through and causing a foul.
From 4 minutes and 30 seconds, Yang Hansen was numb by the Browns. Because of the three-point throw in front, Yang Hansen has always been improving defense, and for a guard like Brown, passing Yang Hansen is a matter of kicking his legs.
However, even if Qingdao is so passive at the technical and tactical level, their foreign aid Powell is really powerful, and all kinds of unreasonable fairy three points helped Qingdao to survive in a row, and still maintained the suspense of the game at the last moment. But Brown's goal to kill the suspense of the game was still played by Yang Hansen.
Yang Hansen had stepped on the three-point line at the beginning of the defensive pick-and-roll position, and then Brown broke through, Yang Hansen "trotted" all the way back to defend, Brown did not suffer any defensive resistance at all, and an easy small throw ended the suspense of the game.
Throughout the fourth quarter, Yang Hansen chose to retreat to defense, and I will shoot you, forcing you to stay in the restricted area at all. And when you go up the defense, I just pass you, and it becomes easier to score under the basket. Guo Shiqiang used this trick to take Qingdao away.
Everyone should agree that the playoffs and the regular season are not at the same level, and the playoffs are all about the details, and it is your shortest plank that you catch. And Yang Hansen now seems to be Qingdao's weakness. In fact, as long as the coach can see it, it's just that the regular season won't target you like this, but in the playoffs, I'm sorry, we're going to get serious.
Before the start of the game, Yang Hansen received the Best Rookie and Best Defensive Player trophies in front of the crowd. And such a result, such a way of losing, made Yang Hansen's DPOY trophy a little embarrassing.
In fact, such embarrassment was also experienced by Gobert a few years ago. When Gobert's squatting pit was exploded in the playoffs, everyone also ridiculed the gold content of DPOY. And now Gobert has increased his sweeping frequency and mobility, and it is not so easy to name him so easily.
For Yang Hansen, of course, everything is still in time. Of course, his pace will not be so slow, and Qingdao must find a way to "protect" Yang Hansen. It is a natural disadvantage for a big center to be unable to defend against small defenders, and even thick eyebrows have moments when they are named. So Yang needs more help from his teammates in the next series.
After such a match, I believe that many people will have more understanding of Yang Hansen's choice not to run this year. He, his parents, and his coach knew that there was still a lot to be done, and it was certainly not time to go to the United States.
Years later, when he remembered his first playoff game, I hope that Young, who was already famous by then, would laugh at himself and say, "I was so slow back then." ”
