In the NBA regular season, the Trail Blazers lost to the Lakers at home, and Yang Hansen failed to get a chance to play.
Well-known basketball commentator Su Qun commented: "Yang Hansen is not included in the rotation requirements of the Trail Blazers. In addition to his relatively young age and inexperience, another important reason is that his current playing style is not needed by the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers play the same so-called 'future basketball' as the Grizzlies and Heat, basically giving up screens and pick-and-rolls. Yang Hansen can take a look at Adebayor's changes in the Heat. He is an example of Xiao Yang's efforts."
