Yang Hansen spoke out for the first time after the late-night snack scandal, and the portable translator also revealed the physical test data!

After 16 days, the whirlpool of public opinion caused by Yang Hansen and his team's "late night snack incident" has not subsided. Instead, it has intensified because he was firmly placed on the bench by the coach for 5 consecutive games. It has been 16 days since the start of the NBA regular season, and fans' anxiety has almost reached its peak. What happened to him? Why not let him play? Just before the Trail Blazers were about to start a crazy five-game road trip, Yang Hansen finally broke his silence and officially responded to the fans' concerns. Fortunately, he went on this road trip with the team. In a recent interview, Yang Hansen talked about his recent performance, especially the huge gap from the summer league period. This gap is not only statistical, but also psychological. His own description accurately reflects this cruel transition from "chosen son" to ordinary rookie, which he must face alone.

Yang Hansen candidly analyzed his mental journey during the interview. He said bluntly: "Both the joint trials and summer league were rookies similar to me, and their experience on the court was similar to mine, so I was very comfortable playing on the court." But this comfort was only temporary. As the level of confrontation increased, reality quickly hit him hard. He continued: "But in the preseason, I felt that I was really a rookie." When the regular season officially came, the piercing sense of gap really exploded. Yang Hansen used one word to describe himself: "Whether the team wants to win, or the players on the field are trying their best to win the game, they all make themselves feel very small." The words "very small" came out of his mouth with great weight. This clearly shows that he has realized that he is no longer the core who can easily dominate the game, he is just the most ordinary member of the league.

In addition to the psychological gap, the biggest doubts from the outside world come from his physical condition, especially after the "late night snack incident", he was photographed with a "slightly bloated" body, which made his professional attitude criticized. In response to this, his portable translator Liu Yucheng gave key clarifying information. Liu Yucheng said: "Yang Hansen's current body fat has not changed. Although he looks a little bloated, his recently measured body fat is the same as his body fat when he was training with the Trail Blazers in the summer." The translator further explained: "He has gained weight, but his body fat has not changed." In professional sports, this usually means that his muscle mass has increased, which is necessary to adapt to higher-intensity confrontations. The most critical thing is the attitude of the coaching staff. Liu Yucheng revealed: "The coach said it's OK to keep it like this." This sentence at least shows that the team is aware of and recognizes his physical condition.

The body fat rate remains unchanged but the weight increases. This may be the team's intentional muscle gain plan. But data belongs to data, and not getting 1 minute of playing time in 5 consecutive games is a cold reality. As a fan, the anxiety is real. After all, this is the only Chinese player who can still play in the NBA. This "only" status is both an honor and a heavy burden. Now he has traveled with the team for five consecutive away games, which at least shows that he is still within the team's plan. For Yang Hansen, there is only one thing he can do now: convince his teammates in training that cannot be seen by the outside world, do his best to improve himself, reject all noise interference, and keep his feet on the ground. As for the waiting fans, should they be more tolerant and patient, waiting for him to emerge from his cocoon and become a butterfly, or should they recognize the cruel reality earlier? This question may be more worthy of discussion than when he will play.
