Topper reporter yovic tweeted about Hanson Young and head coach Chauncey Billups:

After supplementing Billups' episode of Rip City Chat, and combining his observations over the past few years, I'll try to summarize the Trail Blazers head coach in a few layman's terms. I think Billups is a kind of friendly, slow, elegant coach, a template head coach in the process of evolution: he was actually not smooth when he was a player, scouting talent, but in the first five years of four teams, a late bloomer is also relatively stable. He doesn't like to use his own player honor to pressure people, but rather empathize with those players who also went through ups and downs. He's not like the traditional hardcore coaches. He's a slow starter. It took him several years to decide between management and coaching, six years before he joined the coaching staff of the Blades, and a year before he took over as head coach of the Trailblazers. In the past few years, he has been in a stable, but not rich, environment, and not having a normally distributed lineup has meant that he has always had to balance a lot of things that have nothing to do with winning, and has made his style more of a coach who is constantly polishing and learning. billups was one of the most relied upon assistant coaching staffs in the league in the past few years. For coaches, coaching experience and personal style take time to build. I've used the word "classy" before to describe him. At one point last season, I thought this team lacked bloodlust, partly because the veterans were more introverted and the rookies grew up in a healthier environment without the ghetto undertones, and partly because of the coach's temperament. On the other hand, it does have something to do with the manager's temperament. But being bloodless doesn't mean he's not good enough. Instead, he's more suited to players who are competitive and have a sense of professionalism - Avdija and Camara, for example, both of whom have fought their way up through the professional ranks at a young age, and the other is a man-eater with a ruthless personality, both of which complement his aura. In this issue, he himself says that now that the team is finally out of the doldrums and things are starting to get organized, it's time to start collecting some fruit. His logic is clear: defense leads to offense. He likes a lineup of five players who are close in size, interchangeable, and have low communication costs on defense; and on young teams, he intersperses zone defense as a tempo tool to preserve fitness and interrupt the opponent's tempo. This year, he said in training camp that they are building a new offensive system, but this is not an overnight thing, this can be seen slowly. Overall, Billups is trying to keep his presence down, and he doesn't want his players to be too overbearing. Discipline, communication and toughness are the most suitable things for his style. Outgoing, active and bold players are the ones who will be favored by him. I think it's important to understand his character, especially for international players like Yang - the master leads the door, the practice depends on the individual, but whether you can get in or not, depends on the coach's person.
