Same-day return! The Trail Blazers have once again assigned and recalled Yang Hansheng, with Su Qun suggesting he learn from Adebayo.

On November 5th Beijing time, the Trail Blazers officially announced that they had sent Yang Hansheng to the G League team Rip City Remix. Following today’s practice, Yang will be recalled from the Remix. This means his second assignment was a same-day trip, while his first assignment involved two days of training with the Remix.

Prior to the Lakers game, Sprewell spoke about Yang’s time training with the development league team. Sprewell mentioned that after learning about his assignment, Yang understood the team’s decision and maintained a great attitude. He realizes that playing in the NBA is a marathon, not a sprint. “He follows whatever we ask him to do and so far has been very professional,” Sprewell said. “He works on individual skills and now has the chance to practice with the team — since we haven’t scheduled many formal practices recently, focusing energy on games. So for him, getting some running and sweating with the team is a valuable opportunity.”

The Trail Blazers currently have a packed schedule and no time for formal practices. For Yang Hansheng, who has been DNP (Did Not Play) for two consecutive games, maintaining his training intensity and frequency is crucial.

According to the Trail Blazers’ plan, especially in the early season, Yang Hansheng will focus more on training rather than game time. He needs to adapt to the league while improving himself. Let’s give Yang more space and look forward to his continued development.

Renowned commentator Su Qun recently mentioned the concept of “future basketball” and suggested that Yang should learn from Miami Heat’s Adebayo. Here are some excerpts—

To overcome his challenges, besides following his development plan, Yang Hansheng has a role model to actively study and learn from: Miami Heat’s Adebayo.

Adebayo is a center known more for his defense than offense, standing only 2.06 meters tall. Defensively, he is exceptional, having made the All-Defensive Second Team four times and the First Team once. Offensively, his range is limited; his best move is mid-range shots near the free-throw line, and he is skilled at reading opportunities to pass to teammates.

To meet coach Spoelstra’s demands (the Heat have clearly sped up this season), Adebayo, like Brook Lopez, suddenly developed his three-point shooting. In the first six games, he attempted 41 three-pointers, averaging 6.8 per game. At this pace, if he plays over 70 games, his total attempts could approach 500. However, when he senses an opportunity to attack with the ball, he still confidently drives to the basket or posts up.

Therefore, I believe Yang Hansheng should study Adebayo more closely—not the traditional Adebayo we know, but the one who has actively transformed himself within a new system, which happens to be exactly the same system the Trail Blazers use, known as “future basketball.”

Su Qun described “future basketball” as having three distinct characteristics.

First, abandoning the traditional guard-led advance to initiate offense; anyone who receives the ball first can push it upcourt quickly.

Second, minimizing or eliminating pick-and-rolls; the ball carrier attacks the basket immediately if they see a good chance, or quickly passes to a teammate they believe has a better opportunity.

Third, maximizing floor spacing and rapid ball movement; when a player gets the ball and sees a good chance, they attack the basket right away, and if the defense collapses, they immediately swing the ball around.
