I can't stand out in recent games! Liu Mang is very sad.

After a few games, the accumulated superstar value is 2272 points, and the rogue value is now a bit.

It's not that Liu Mang didn't perform well.

He averaged close to 16 points per game and has repeatedly become a turning point for the team to win. This performance is excellent even for a lottery pick.

The main reason is aesthetic fatigue.

When stunning became the norm, people's expectations naturally increased. In the past, every time Liu Mang scored more than ten points, the fans were overjoyed and found a treasure with a low pick.

Now that Liu Mang scores more than ten points, people regard it as a normal performance. If he doesn't play well, there will be talk of a rookie wall.

Liu Mang has not yet understood that both players and fans have periods of fatigue.

By mid-December, the fatigue period for both players and fans basically arrived at the same time.

After the Christmas Day game, NBA ratings will enter an extremely sluggish state.

Therefore, in order to stimulate ratings, on December 21st, the NBA officially announced that voting for the 2002 Philadelphia All-Star Weekend has begun!

This basically has nothing to do with Liu Mang!

After winning three consecutive victories back-to-back, he took a day off and then another back-to-back, so there was no training schedule and Liu Mang was also resting at home.

During this period of time, I have begun to feel tired from the competition. The focus is not on the body. Even leaving aside the physical medicine, the body of a 20-year-old should not be too energetic.

However, just as the league thought, the All-Star Weekend voting began, which gave many players who were interested in the All-Stars a great stimulus, and their emotions suddenly became alive.

Who doesn't want to be an All-Star?

Becoming an All-Star means fame, the possibility of an endorsement contract, and a bargaining chip when signing a contract!

But it seems that these things have little to do with Liu Mang!

During his break, he read newspapers at home, checked the news on the NBA official website, and checked major forums. Sure enough, his name did not appear in the news about the All-Star Game!

Among the players for each team listed on the NBA official website who can be voted by fans, Liu Mang was included in the Eagles' list of all-star applicants. Four players from the Eagles were included in this year's All-Stars by the professional team formed by NBA officials.

The big list of star voting includes Raheem, Jason Terry, Ratliff, and Liu Mang.

But for these four Hawks, almost no one on the national network is discussing their possibility of entering the All-Stars!

Raheem and Jason Terry have never been popular players. Ratliff is a defensive player. If Mutombo is better, no one can vote for him.

Liu Mang is a rookie who averaged 15.7 points per game. He is not bad, but he is only good. His popularity is not bad. He is gradually becoming famous in the United States, but he cannot compare with the popularity of Kobe in his sophomore year.

Even the local Atlanta fan forum does not have any expectations for any of its own players to be selected for the All-Stars this time. The discussion is about the possibility of Raheem becoming an All-Star substitute. They think this is more reliable.

Liu Mang is so sad. Entering the All-Star Game, this achievement should bring a lot of rewards, right?

"Ding... The achievement reward for being selected for the first All-Star Game is 30,000 superstar points and 50,000 rogue points. The achievement reward for being selected for the first time is 50,000 superstar points and 100,000 rogue points. If both are reached at the same time, whichever

the latter."

It's okay if the system doesn't prompt, but Liu Mang's heart is even more filled with such a prompt!

This represents how difficult it is to become an All-Star!

Jason Terry spent his whole life and never even touched the edge of the All-Star Game!

Popular players like Lamar Odom have never reached the threshold of the All-Star Game.

Speaking of which, Liu Mang has the identity of a Chinese player, but the identity of a Chinese player does not work these days! Until now, one-third of the season has passed, and no domestic reporter has come to interview him. Liu Mang naturally understands the reason. It is not a certain person.

Those trained by the association should not be known to the country unless it is in their interests.

Originally, Liu Mang was very disgusted with a certain association. They seemed to have done nothing good except exploiting players, but now he discovered that a certain association seems to be dominating the domestic sports world these days!

Liu Mang can't wait to be exploited now...

If there is no exploitation, there will be no fans to vote!

Atlanta is not small, but it is not big. Unless it performs like James' second-year performance, it is impossible for a small city like this to produce an All-Star.

The requirements for All-Star substitutes are to some extent more demanding than those for the All-Stars. When selecting All-Star substitutes, coaches are more willing to choose from last season’s regular season champion, last season’s East and West champion team, last season’s championship, overall runner-up, etc.

Waiting for the team to choose, for example, in 2011 the Celtics' Big Four were all All-Star substitutes, in 2015 the Hawks had four All-Star substitutes, in 2005 the Pistons had four All-Star substitutes, etc...

The coach pays more attention to this when selecting substitutes.

At this moment, Liu Mang was so desperate, so helpless, and really wanted to be squeezed by a certain association!

After being embarrassed for three seconds, Liu Mang put it aside.

Now that I have this identity, I have room for development, and there is help from the system. I am not the kind of lazy person. I will work hard when I have the opportunity. One day the All-Star Game will definitely come to me.

Since he seems to be out of reach now, Liu Mang thinks he can participate in other projects!

You don’t have to be a bit mean to show your face in China. In such a global event, if you play on your own, will the country stop broadcasting this event?

And according to future memories, the relationship between the Chaoting Sports Channel and a certain association was not as good as imagined. Later, after the power of a certain association was weakened, the Chaoting Wutai immediately bit back, and it was forced to ban players in various ways before.

Forced to drive public opinion and forced to bear the bad breath of infamy.

A certain association doesn't seem to like him as a Chinese player who suddenly appeared. Maybe the salary is too low and he has no idea of ​​exploiting him. In this case, Liu Mang can only find opportunities to show his face!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Mang checked what events were available during this year's All-Star Weekend. The NBA president didn't know how free he was, so he made changes to the All-Star Weekend every three days.

After checking, the official games of this Philadelphia All-Star Weekend include dual events, the All-Star Rookie Challenge, and the All-Star Game. In addition, there are WNBA and NBA player shooting challenges. Another meaning is probably a cross-border competition.

These two entertainment projects are Star Shooting Star.

There is no doubt that during the three-day All-Star Weekend, these events will be broadcast live around the world. Friday is the All-Star Rookie Challenge. This year it should be stipulated again. When the Rookie Challenge came out in 1993, it was actually in the 1980s.

All rookies could participate. It was not until 1997 that only rookies were determined to participate, and they were divided into East and West competitions, so there was a duel between Kobe and Iverson.

However, after experiencing a nightmare-like confrontation between Eastern and Western rookies last season, which was almost the worst draft year in history, NBA officials collapsed and this year chose a new format of a first- and second-year competition.

Fortunately, his performance is at least among the top three among first-year players, and his statistics rank second. Liu Mang is very confident that he can be selected for the first-year team!

There were four events in total on Saturday the next day. The first was the shooting competition between the men's and women's basketball teams. This was a new thing added last year. After the Rookie Challenge where it was hard to see people dozing off, the ratings for this game the next day were higher than the Rookie Challenge.

So much! It’s worth mentioning that the NBA lost to the WNBA…

Liu Mang thought he could apply to participate in this competition.

Next is the double event, the three-point contest and the dunk contest. Liu Mang ignored the dunk contest. Can he try the three-point contest?

The last one on Saturday is the cross-border shooting star competition. The players participating are basically veterans, because those who cross-border are either from the entertainment industry, politicians, or even referees may participate. Not many young players will go and compete.

They were playing together. Liu Mang thought he could also join in?

If you don’t have the conditions to become famous, then create the conditions yourself!
