Washington Wizards superstar wing Bradley Beal was considered by many to be
the most notable omission from the 2020 NBA All-Star Game.
華盛頓巫師球星Bradley Beal被視為今年未入選明星賽中最知名的球員之一。
Beal, 26, received All-Star honors the last couple of seasons and, after
signing a massive contract extension October, is now scoring more than when
he represented the Eastern Conference in 2019 (25.1 ppg) and 2018 (23.6 ppg)
as well.
現年26歲的Beal在過去兩季都入選了全明星賽(2019賽季明星賽前場均25.1分、
2018賽季明星賽前場均23.6分)，今年的場均得分更超越了前個兩季。
Considering that Beal is such a prolific scorer and the All-Star Game often
rewards the players best at getting the ball in the bucket, it was a surprise
to see that the former No. 3 overall pick was not included in the exhibition.
若再考慮到Beal是一個超級得分型球員，會很驚訝他竟然未能入選刷分秀味濃
度很高的全明星賽名單之中。
But when putting his 2019-20 season in context, it raises even more eyebrows
for the decision. Beal, averaging a career-best 29.2 points per game, is
scoring more than any other All-Star snub in NBA history.
就今年賽季而言，場均得分達29.2分的Beal(生涯最高)，更成為了有史以來未入
選明星賽中得分最高的球員。

This reality is what caused Beal’s agent Mark Bartelstein to release a
heated statement about the omission (via Washington Post): “It’s
unprecedented for a player to have the type of season that Brad is having to
not be in the all-star game. And I think the Eastern Conference coaches,
I think they’ve sent a horrible message. I think the Eastern Conference
coaches have become robotic in thinking they just have to reward players
that are on the winningest teams.”
這也難怪Beal的經紀人也表示：
「Beal能有這樣表現卻未能入選全明星賽是前所未聞的，我認為東區明星隊教練
們想法太過僵化，他們只想要選擇那些處在贏球球隊的球員。」
Only three other qualified players who have averaged at least 28.0 points per
game (World B. Free, Tiny Archibald and Purvis Short) were not selected to
the All-Star Game. Similarly, the last time a player averaged at least 27.0
points per game in a season and did not make the All-Star Game was in 1984-85.
除了Beal以外，歷史上僅有三位未入選明星賽的球員場均能達28分以上，
分別為World B. Free、Tiny Archibald 以及 Purvis Short。
