When asked about his performance in this game, Yang Hansen said, "I think everyone played very unitedly. Against the opponent’s small lineup, they helped cover a lot for me. We showed great team cooperation and won the game."

The mixtape head coach praised Yang Hansen's performance after the game. He said, "I think he (referring to Yang Hansen) was really outstanding. He is our anchor on both offense and defense, protecting the rim. We put him in different matchups, and he did very well, including some blocks. His rebounding has improved compared to before, which I think is very important. He has become the center of our offense; most of tonight’s plays were from the outside, but I believe he played extremely well."

Additionally, the coach noted that Yang Hansen’s English has improved significantly. During the Summer League, 95% of his communication relied on translation, but now only about 50% needs translation.
