In a stunning turn of events that has Chinese basketball fans buzzing, 19-year-old phenom Yang Hanshen was selected by the Portland Trail Blazers as the 16th overall pick in the NBA draft – a result that even the young star himself found surprising.
"The Blazers scouts came to China several times to watch me," Yang revealed in an exclusive interview after the draft. "We had great conversations during the tryouts. While I thought Portland might pick me, this still exceeded my expectations." (Original Weibo video: http://t.cn/A6DcBg15)
This historic selection makes Yang only the third Chinese player ever to be chosen in the first round of the NBA draft, following in the footsteps of legends Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian. The 6’11" center from Qingdao has been turning heads with his exceptional footwork and basketball IQ that belies his young age.
But here’s the problem keeping overseas Chinese fans up at night: how to actually watch Yang’s games when you’re outside China? Between geo-blocked streaming platforms and laggy connections, many fans are left frustrated when trying to support their homegrown star.
We feel your pain! There’s nothing worse than gathering with friends to watch the game, only to be greeted by that dreaded "This content is not available in your region" message. And when you finally find a working stream, the constant buffering makes it impossible to enjoy Yang’s smooth post moves.
Stay tuned for our complete guide on how overseas fans can bypass these restrictions (coming right after this article). But first, let’s appreciate what this draft pick means for Chinese basketball…
Yang’s selection marks a potential turning point for Chinese basketball development. Unlike previous Chinese NBA players who were groomed through the national team system, Yang represents a new generation developing through club academies. His success could inspire thousands of young Chinese players dreaming of making it to the world’s top league.
So tell us in the comments: Where were you when you heard about Yang’s draft news? And what are your predictions for his rookie season with the Blazers?
