Trail Blazers frontline reporter Xiao Fu: Basketball doesn’t lie. I look forward to the day when Xiao Yang proves himself.

Today is the second game of the Trail Blazers' 25-26 regular season and the first game after head coach Billups' accident.

This is also the first time that Split leads the team as the head coach.

The outside world has several major concerns about this game:

1⃣Whether the temporary coaching change will have an impact on the team's psychology;

2⃣Whether the team's season plan and personnel will be significantly adjusted;

3⃣What Chinese fans are most concerned about - whether Yang Hansen's playing time will be affected.

Split emphasized at the pre-match press conference that the team's tactical system and development direction had been established several months ago and would not be easily changed due to temporary changes.

The Warriors, perhaps affected by yesterday's overtime game, looked a little tired. Except for Curry's still stable performance, the team made too many mistakes and lacked a second stable scoring point, which seemed to be inadequate.

Looking back at the Trail Blazers, they played very smoothly in the third quarter and defended actively. Avdija, Grant, Kamara and Sharp all had stable output.

Yang Hansen only played for 3 minutes and 31 seconds in the first three quarters (the first quarter). He missed a three-pointer and got a rebound. Reappeared in the fourth quarter and completed a dunk and two blocks.

As the old saying goes—basketball doesn’t lie.

Looking forward to the day when Xiao Yang can prove himself in the NBA with his strength.
