The situation is similar, following the footsteps of idol Shin Kyung, and his ability to support may help Henson gain a foothold in the NBA

In less than 24 hours just passed, Yang Hansen was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers with 16 pick in the NBA first-round draft. It has to be said that this is a milestone moment for domestic players to enter the NBA again. After being successfully selected, many people were worried that Yang Hansen would not be able to adapt to the NBA environment. And asserted that he might spend most of his first year in the Development League.

In fact, there is no need to be so pessimistic. When asked who his idol in the NBA today, Yang Hansen said a somewhat surprising name, that is, Shin Kyung, the Rockets' 22-year-old inside All-Star player. In fact, the age difference between the two is only over 2 years old, so it is really inappropriate to be called an idol. But from Shen Jing, perhaps Yang Hansen can find some ways to gain a foothold in the NBA.

When Shin Kyung was in the draft, he was generally not favored by the media. Except for ESPN ranking him in the middle of the first round on the list, most of the other draft lists placed him in the last position of the first round. However, this did not affect the MVP of the Turkish Premier League being selected by the Rockets at the 16th pick. At that time, the Rockets still had the No. 23 and 24 draft picks, but they still chose to use the next two first rounds to get the inside newcomer in advance. At the end of the draft, Shin Kyung's reputation was not as good as TOEFL and Garuba, who were 23rd and 24th picks, and Jaylen Green was called the cornerstone of the team building in the future backcourt by fans. Now the Shenjing Rockets can contribute 20+10+5 per game, sign a five-year contract of $185 million, and successfully selected as the All-Star. The other three, Jaylen Green, was sent to the Suns, and TOEFL and Garuba are likely to have ended their NBA careers.

And how did Shin Kyung gain a foothold in the Rockets? When he first joined the Rockets, Shin Kyung showed his basketball IQ that was far beyond ordinary people. In the inside, you can use various steps to put the ball into the basket, which can attract defensive players from time to time before giving exquisite passes to your teammates. When Wood "focused on" scoring 20+10 data in every game, Shin Kyung was never affected. During his 20-minute playing time, he was able to contribute 9.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists, with a shooting percentage of 47.4%.

So when Henson first entered the Trail Blazers, he should use his best basket skills to open up the situation, and at the same time let people see their own different characteristics from other insiders, such as passing. Only when efficiency is ensured, will your playing time become more and more stable. Remember not to attack on the outside line at will. Perhaps this skill is on his "Arsenal" list, but it is not suitable for use now.

And in the offseason, it is particularly critical for Hesen. He must make enough time to make special improvements. Shin-kyung's rookie season has been his common scoring method in the interior. People will indeed be amazed at his flexible footsteps and his fancy movements, but sometimes he misses scoring opportunities because of these. So in the past four years, through summer training, Shin Kyung has made more mid-range shots in the game, and his movements at the basket are also very straightforward. At the same time, outside the three-point line, production is also gradually increasing.

Another very important thing is that you must always maintain a tough competitive attitude on the court. Just like Shin Kyung first entered the NBA, his figure was smaller than other insiders. In addition, he received yoga training and his body flexibility was much better than other players. He was wrongly rated by many media as having a softer style of the game.

But on the court, Shin Kyung is very confident on the offensive end, whether it is Gobert or Wenban Yama, he has defeated his opponent in the matchup. Even Warriors player Zhu Meng Green said in a recent podcast that after he fought against Shin Kyung in the playoffs between the Rockets and the Warriors, he realized that Shin Kyung was a commendable hardliner player. Even after he gave Shin Kyung some more intense confrontations on the court, Shin Kyung would return them and would not give his opponent any benefits.

Although after Hesson entered the Trail Blazers, the team's situation will be slightly different from that of Shen Jing, it will never be separated from the same fate. Even if the Trail Blazers do not trade outside the inside, thinking about it, Hansson's competitor is just an injured blue-collar Rowe, an undefensive No. 1 pick Ayton, and a super young 7th-show blue-collar insider Klingen. Hansen now has more basketball skills than these three. Especially as a big man's ability to support him will make his upper limit full of imagination and help him increase his role in the team.

At this stage, the most important thing for Henson is to keep his mentality steady, play every game well, and slowly win a stable playing time. For him, this dream-seeking road has just begun.
