Team Note: If Hansen plays well, it will be a popular route, and the price is usually $1,100

Trail Blazers reporter Quinn Everts wrote an article saying that if Yang Hansen performs well, the Trail Blazers are expected to become the "Team of the World", and in addition, Beijing will become a popular route across the United States, the following is all.

The Portland Trail Blazers have not received national attention for two years since trading Damian Lillard, the team's history scoring champion Damian Lillard to the Milwaukee Bucks. But in the 2025-26 season, with Lillard returning to the team (although it is not expected to play this season), the Trail Blazers will not only become the national focus again, but will also attract a lot of international attention due to Yang Hansen's joining.

China has more than 1.4 billion people, and although I don't think everyone will watch Yang Hansen's NBA debut next month, the number of viewers may be very close depending on the Summer League situation. Yang Hansen has already shined in the summer league. It is reported that 5.2 million people watched the Trail Blazers against the Grizzlies in China, a figure far exceeding the 1.1 million people who watched No. 1 pick Flag's debut in Dallas through ESPN.

This is just the summer league! When the regular season begins, interest in Young only doubles. He will play on the court – he is likely to be the Trail Blazers’ main backup center this season – which is enough to attract widespread attention. If he performs well, it will spark a fever. Another team reporter, Sean Highkin, once said: "I know it will be a big event, but seeing so many fans' interest in him in Las Vegas and a lot of coverage from Chinese media, even if it's just the summer league, I don't think people are ready to face the huge effect that he will be a rotation player."

If Yang Hansen succeeds, the Trail Blazers may become the team that attracts the world's attention. Round-trip tickets from Beijing to Portland International Airport (which is the best airport in the country by the way) are usually around $1,100. If Young showed his outstanding footsteps, passes and finishing skills in the summer league, I believe this route will become even hotter throughout the NBA season.

Whether Portland is ready to meet so many gazes will be waiting! Even after eight consecutive seasons of the playoffs under Terry Stotts coaching, the Trail Blazers have never been in the spotlight. This is mainly because they are remote and never really have a chance to win the championship – but we will never forget that trip to the Western Conference Finals (2019 Team Warriors).

Why do you only work as an American team, not as a hot topic in the world? The Trail Blazers may not be ready for the huge attention they have brought in their most recent round draft pick, but they have been obscured for many years before, and this year may be a good change.
