Trainer: Yang Hansen runs faster than Jokic, he learns both inside and outside and has the skills of defending
Yang Hansen's documentary "Leaping to the Extinction" has updated the second episode today. Yang Hansen's trainer Chris Johnson compared him with star player Jokic and explained his basketball philosophy.
Johnson said: "In basketball, it's useless to be fast, because most of the courts are short sprints, and Yang Hansen is very good at this. He can do it in the game, cover quickly and get rid of defense. Speed is only important in a small range. You see Jokic, he looks very slow, but sometimes he is very fast. He sometimes performs very slowly, but when you get close to him, he will suddenly speed up and play with the defender, so he is really fast and strong. If we compare Yang Hansen and Jokic, he is even faster than Jokic."
"Three days before the joint trial, Yang gradually understood this. He was in good shape and shot great, but we fine-tuned the shooting hand shape. He was able to listen to suggestions and do as he did, so he got better and better."
"The skill that big players need to master is to be able to attack and defend in the inside, but Jokic can score in the inside and off the outside. I think this is also a huge advantage for Yang Hansen. He can also attack from the outside, plus the improved shooting hand shape. Oh my god! He is a big man with guard skills." Johnson added.
