To be honest, Yang Hansen's performance in this game, particularly in the first half, was disastrous. His low-post attacks either ended with steals or traveling violations, and he was frequently called for illegal screens.

In the second half, Yang Hansen managed one successful low-post play to regain some momentum, but his overall performance remained unsatisfactory.

South Bay Lakers, as the top team in the Western Conference of the development league, truly have some skills, showcasing top-tier level in both offense and defense.

It is worth mentioning that,the South Bay Lakers' big center Malik Williams, who matched up against Yang Hansen in these two games, delivered an impressive performance, hitting 7 three-pointers total and racking up 43 points and 16 rebounds.This player was born on August 26, 1998, stands 2.11 meters tall and weighs 113 kilograms, possessing stretch-five attributes and capable of accurate shooting from the perimeter.

Thanks to the attention gained from facing Yang Hansen,Williams has attracted interest from CBA teams and may bring his talents to China to earn money—or rather, to play basketball.

Returning to the topic, Yang Hansen failed to perform at his expected level in both games against South Bay Lakers, so naturally he will be heavily criticized in post-game discussions. This is understandable; competitive sports often judge heroes by success or failure, and setbacks can motivate him to work harder to address weaknesses and grow quickly. At just 20 years old, he has ample time to fulfill his potential.

Next, on March 21 and 22, Rip City Remix will continue with back-to-back home games against Raptors 905. However, Yang Hansen might be recalled by the Trail Blazers.
