Shepard missed the best in recent days!

Shepard 28+8 still missed the best! Yang Hansen's offense and defense are too unsolvable

On July 12, the NBA Summer League was in full swing, with many exciting games, and many new stars emerged. In the game that day, the performance of Rockets Shepard and Chinese player Yang Hansen was particularly eye-catching. However, even though Shepard scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks, he still missed the best player today because Yang Hansen's performance is dominant.

In the duel between the Clippers and the Rockets, Shepard is undoubtedly the absolute core of the Rockets' formation. He played in the whole game for 32 minutes, making 10 of 25 shots, including 6 of 15 three-pointers and 2 of 4 free throws, scoring 28 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks. In the first quarter of the game, Shepard felt bad and only hit 2 goals in 8 shots, but he was very active on the defensive end. He contributed 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in a single quarter, helping the Rockets bite the score. In the second quarter, the Clippers once widened the score difference to 8 points. Shepard started his personal scoring performance, hitting two consecutive three-pointers, and then broke through with the ball and scored 8 points in a row, leading the Rockets to a climax of 15-2 to overtake the score. In the second half, he continued his hot touch, and was extremely threatening on the offensive end, both three-pointers and breakthroughs, and he also contributed wonderful steals and blocks many times on the defensive end. Unfortunately, the Rockets finally defeated the Clippers 92-95.

Also today, Yang Hansen made his summer league debut for the Trail Blazers. He played 27 minutes in the game, made 8 of 12 shots, 4 of 5 three-pointers, 8 of 13 free throws, and scored 28 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. The plus and negative value on the court was as high as +16, helping the Trail Blazers defeat the Timberwolves 105-92. Yang Hansen demonstrated his dominance in the inside. On the offensive end, his low-level singles skills are solid, his left and right hands are balanced, and he has also developed a stable three-point shooting ability, making the opponent unable to defend; on the defensive end, with his height of 2.18 meters and 2.24 meters, his frame protection ability is excellent, and he has sent key blocks many times, making the Timberwolves' inside players miserable. At the same time, he can actively participate in assisting defense and stealing, greatly improving the Defensive strength of the Trail Blazers.

Compared with the performance of the two, although Shepard's data is equally gorgeous and showed excellent scoring ability, organizational ability and defensive enthusiasm in the game, Yang Hansen's influence on both offense and defense is more comprehensive and far-reaching. Not only is he no less than Shepard in personal data, he also better drives the team in the game, and his positive and negative values on the court fully reflect his key role in the victory or defeat of the game. In addition, as a Chinese player, Yang Hansen has such a highlight performance in the NBA summer league, which is itself a certain topic and attention.

From the team level, Shepard's Rockets lost the game, and Yang Hansen helped the Trail Blazers win, which is also an important consideration when selecting the best player. In the fiercely competitive NBA arena, personal data is important, but leading the team to win is often more recognized. Therefore, based on the wins and losses of the game, personal data, and on-field influence, Yang Hansen beats Shepard and other stars and is no suspense as the NBA's best player today.

For Shepard, although he missed the title of Best Player, his outstanding performance in this game still proves his strength and also makes Rockets fans look forward to his performance in the new season. Yang Hansen's stunning debut undoubtedly made a good start for his development in the NBA and also allowed Chinese fans to see his potential in the world's top basketball leagues. I believe that in the subsequent summer league, both of them will continue to bring exciting performances and move towards higher goals.
