After the "interview" was done, Abby unceremoniously asked Ye Feng to invite him to dinner, Ye Feng was speechless: Now I'm working with you, okay, Miss? But it can't be helped, who made Abby a girl who has a pretty good relationship with him? What's more, she is still a beauty, basically as long as she says that she wants others to invite to dinner, the person who pays the bill will definitely be able to queue up at the Rose Garden Arena from here. Ye Feng, www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, was not pretentious, and directly took Abby to his favorite restaurant for a big meal.

At the dinner table, Abby struggled with a steak and asked curiously, "The results of the first round of voting for next year's All-Star Game will come out in a few days, why do I feel like you don't care at all?" Ye Feng said slowly: "How should I pay attention?" Will I be an All-Star in my rookie season? Don't talk nonsense, I'm pretty much the same for the Rookie Challenge, and the Rookie Challenge doesn't require a fan vote. ”

As a result, his perfunctory attitude was sharply criticized by Abby: "What's wrong with the rookie?" Rookies can't be selected as All-Stars? Your fellow countryman, Yao, didn't he steal O'Neal's position as the starting center of the Western Conference All-Star just after entering the league? Why don't you have any faith at all? I see you, you just don't take it to heart, why are you not motivated at all? Ye Feng rolled his eyes: "Please, can Yao's experience be replicated by me?" Do you know what his position was in China before he entered the NBA? If it's me, hehe, do Chinese fans know that the NBA has such a person as me, but I'd rather believe that Los Angeles and Portland have more fans who support me. ”

Abby has to admit that Ye Feng is right, a very important fact is that Yao Ming is a star cultivated in Chinese basketball, while Ye Feng has an American basketball background. Before entering the draft, Ye Feng was only Mr. Basketball in California and also won an NCAA championship, but Yao Ming has dominated the entire CBA. Yao made his professional debut at the age of 17, and in his final season in the CBA, 2001-02, he averaged 32.4 points, 19 rebounds and 4.8 blocks per game, and in the Finals, he averaged 41.3 points, 21 rebounds and 4.3 blocks per game to lead the Shanghai Sharks to overthrow the Bayi Dynasty.

It can almost be said that Yao Ming was already a lonely existence in the CBA back then, not to mention that he was also the representative of that generation of China's "Mobile Great Wall", and countless Chinese fans are eagerly looking forward to this talented big man making a career in the NBA. At that time, the league happened to launch online voting, so in the 2002-03 NBA All-Star voting, Yao Ming won 1.286 million votes, ranking fifth in the league, second only to Kobe Bryant in the West, and squeezed O'Neal to the bench. Among the more than one million votes, Chinese fans contributed a lot.

But Ye Feng is different, he can't even be defined by the "second generation of stars", his father Ye Ning was more in the Spanish league back then, and he had no impact on the CBA at all, if it wasn't for the national team training, many local stars might not see him. In this way, it is understandable that Ye Feng is not well-known in China, after all, his father is not famous in China. What's more, he is not a pure Chinese player now, or it can be said that he is a Chinese-American, and with Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, the two pillars of the national team, both active in the NBA, there is no need for Chinese fans to waste their votes on him.

Faced with Ye Feng's explanation, Abby reluctantly accepted it, but she still maintained the attitude of breaking the casserole as a journalist and asking to the end, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Don't you even know how to canvass for votes online?" It's not bad to let Chinese fans know about you, not to mention that you are a swing man, and it does not conflict with Yao's position, and they will not prevent them from choosing Yao to continue to choose Yao! Ye Feng thought about it, but still shook his head: "Forget it, I'll just participate in my rookie challenge silently, all-star voting, and when I make a name for myself in the future, there will definitely be one, maybe it's a good idea for me to recommend myself to participate in the three-point contest and dunk contest?" ”

Abby held her forehead, wishing she could beat up the lazy guy in front of her right now. I've never seen such an inactive, you must know that it is an All-Star, for many NBA players, this is already a big enough stage, this thing actually disdains the matter of canvassing, that is really not something that can be described as "unambitious". Ye Feng didn't care, the old god was still eating the things on his plate, as if Abby was just discussing with him just now whether a dollar on the ground was worth picking up such a small question.

Don't say that Ye Feng is indifferent to fame and fortune, in his opinion, these things are not worth discussing seriously, even if he is an All-Star, he can be more confident when he talks about contract renewal with the team. His reason is very simple, as long as the game is played well, as long as the management is not blind, a big contract will be offered to a player with good data, especially high-level data, of course, the maximum salary still needs to be fought for. In this case, what does it matter if you don't make it to the All-Star? He doesn't deny that this is an honor, but isn't it a bit too bad to canvass for this bastard? After you play it yourself, you can probably get into the All-Star without canvassing.

As for the slam dunk contest and the three-point contest, it's not impossible to participate, but it's not something you can decide. Whether it is the Skills Challenge, the Three-Point Contest and the Slam Dunk Contest, only the defending champion is definitely invited, and among the other participants, the remaining places in the Skill and Slam Dunk Contest are entirely through their own registration and the league's invitation, and if there are not enough applicants, the league will refer to the performance of all players in the game before sending invitations to some of the best players. In other words, if Ye Feng wants to participate, he must at least send an invitation from the alliance.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the only thing he is looking forward to this season's All-Star Game is the rookie challenge, because it is the first time since entering the NBA with his teammates in UCLA, and as long as the senior who is the head coach of the first-year rookie team does not have brain cramps and wants to win the game, he will definitely put the three of them on the court at the same time. In Ye Feng's view, participating in those sub-competitions is not as interesting as the rookie challenge, reliving the feeling of fighting side by side with teammates in the NCAA period, and by the way, playing against sophomore rookies with those players who have been opponents, it is particularly exciting to think about.

As for the All-Star Game? I'm still silently watching the superstars perform on the sidelines!
