ice emperor

Regardless of An Zexian's personality and personality, as An Yi's father, he has done everything he can.

For the purpose of caring for his son and wanting to help him adjust the rhythm of the competition, since the noon of the 24th, he took An Yi to tour around Nice. In the next two days, he can be said to have tried his best to use the shortest time, Arrange the most efficient route, eat delicious food, watch the sea view, visit the local church complex in Nice, and try every means to relieve Anyi's stress.

Until around one o'clock in the afternoon on the 26th, another group of athletes participated in the qualifying competition, and An Yi did not stop until the third group of athletes performed the last public practice as usual.

As for the specific effect, he is not An Yi himself, so he can't tell the real situation, but judging from An Yi's inadvertently revealed emotions, it is quite good.

At least the smiles on the face of his precious son have increased, and the heaviness hidden in the depths of his eyes has disappeared. What is left is only full of passion and eagerness to try.A pair of azure blue eyes are amazingly bright and full of spirit, people will accidentally sink into him if they look at him for a while.

"Third group of athletes to practice: Leonard Sussman, USA, Hayato Miyazaki, Japan, Pabno Serrano, Spain, Louis Watts, China..."

Accompanied by the voice of the venue announcer, the entrance and exit of the ice rink in the auxiliary hall of the Ice and Snow Center where the World Championships will be held is opened. Step on the ice and start warm-up exercises, and seize the last bit of time to adjust your competitive state.

In the stands outside the protective wall of the ice rink, as the player who received the most attention in this group took off his ice skates and put on the ice to skate, the media reporters from all over the world who reported on the World Championships all cheered up. Point the camera lens in your hand at him.Close-ups of his face and full-body photos were followed behind him, so as to add a main course to the real-time updated online news and tomorrow's sports news report.

correct.

Speaking of the main course, I don’t know if this young man with a brilliant record in the youth group, technical difficulty, and artistic expression far surpasses his peers, will surprise people again in this World Championships, just like he won the grand prize last season. During the performance skating, the shocking free skating performance was the same.

With that example before, people can't help but care about his program, and people can't help but care about whether he will reproduce the action that no one has done in the official game so far in the competition, or go a step further and give likes attention His people bring more wonderful performances.You know, this kind of thinking is not groundless. Considering the coaching ability of the man who called the boy to his side and said something after skating around the field twice, they have every reason to believe this and have expect.

"Louis, are you sure you want to do this?"

Calling An Yi, who was wearing a red and yellow Chinese national team uniform, to his side, James Joyce continued the topic he had interrupted with his disciples before entering the field.

"I want you to be sane, sober, and make a careful assessment of your game before making a decision. Listen boy, I'm not against you modifying the quadruple jump in the short program, I'm just reminding you of the risks of doing it. The reason is the same as you decided to do it. For the same reason, there are five groups of [-] athletes playing after you. So how to arrange the program action, I think you should..."

"Take it easy, take it easy, Joyce. Why don't you make a bet with me?"

After skating along the outer edge of the ice rink for a few laps to warm up, he was greeted with a lecture just after being called by Joyce, and An Yi expressed that he was helpless.

After listening patiently for a while, he was moved and finally did not allow the head coach to continue. He tactfully or cunningly changed the subject and proposed a bet, intending to tell the man in front of him with facts that he would never do it without confidence. things.

"Bet? Ho, my boy, do you think that Joyce, who knows you well, will be as 'stupid' as Johnny, and be easily led into the trap by you? Nonono, I'm not that stupid, it's absolutely impossible Well, I feel your determination and confidence, and I support you in whatever you want. Go, my boy, conquer this arena. You know, I have always believed in you."

"..."

what the hell?

excuse me!

Mr. Joyce, is it appropriate for you to be so shrewd all of a sudden? If so, how can you be friends happily?As an adult, you don't know how to let a little child. Compared with another man around you who cooperates with his son all day long and is afraid of being left behind, it is simply far, far worse.

"Hahaha."

"dad!"

"Pfft—don't, don't call me, let me laugh for a while, it's rare that my son's little plan didn't start. Go, go, don't stand here stupidly and go to practice. Are you comfortable being stared at by the surrounding reporters? Your father and I But I’m not interested in being on the news and being judged.”

"..."

It was another crit, another injury, An Yi looked at the old man on the left, and the head coach on the right, saying, "If you can't provoke me, you can't hide, anyway, my goal has been achieved."

In fact, looking at it from another perspective, Joyce is still very flexible, and he is not blindly conservative and seeking stability.

When he has to take risks, he just reminds him to think carefully, and not to make a decision that is not good for him when his mind is not clear.And this is one of the reasons why he is trustworthy.

"...Gentlemen, it's time for the short program. First up is the American, Leonard Sussman."

Just when An Yi and Joyce were fighting for the gold, the announcer's voice sounded again, and the public training entered the second session. The contestants practiced their short programs one by one in line with the program music.

Counting the preparation time, each contestant took about three minutes and 40 seconds, starting one by one and ending one by one, and roughly skating the short program of his own participation in the World Championships, allowing the ordinary audience in the venue and journalists from all over the world to film Lots of good photos and news material.

but.

After watching a short program with two or three athletes with four athletes, they obviously felt that it was not enough. These athletes whose highest difficulty was only triple axel did not satisfy them.

What they want to see is a more exciting performance, and what they want to capture is a more exciting picture!

The boy they were all looking forward to hadn't appeared yet!They believe that even though he is ranked in the third group in this World Championships, his real strength is definitely not at this level.The reason why they are here is completely dragged down by the world ranking.

"The next player to practice is, Louis Watts, China."

Nearly 10 minutes passed, when the fifth Finnish player who practiced finished skating, the voice of the ice rink announcer was quickly picked up.

In an instant, all eyes in the entire ice rink focused on An Yi.

That kind of scene was definitely not because An Yi felt good about himself, but it really happened.An Zexian, who had been watching his son's practice, clicked his tongue, and James Joyce, who was watching, sighed. He was not only happy that his disciple was being noticed, but also worried that he had to bear such pressure at such a young age. .

As for the person involved, An Yi himself, after hearing the notice, he raised his arm to signal that he heard it, then stepped on the skates to speed up, took off the sports jacket he was wearing on his upper body, and handed it to An Zexian when he passed by. The direction of skating turned and stopped in the middle of the ice rink.

In the process of posing with his chest up and his skating posture, he smiled gratefully at the athletes in front of him who retreated to the sidelines to make room for the ice rink. When the first note is played, the smile in the eyes must be widened, the left hand is in front of the right hand and the right hand is in the back, spinning and sliding out in a circle, and started his own short program practice.

Amidst the sound of rain, birdsong, the breeze blowing through the treetops, and the rustling among the leaves, he slid on the ice, letting himself ride the music forward with cheerful steps.

Swinging arms and waving hands, with a sense of rhythm that makes people feel comfortable, the blades under the feet switch cleanly from inside to outside, and dance and sing in conjunction with the body turning to body movements, and a light and joyful feeling quietly breeds.

He started skating for No. 40 seconds. After a series of footwork, he stepped on a piano chord like water ripples. His left foot was in front and the right foot was behind. Sliding step by step for two seconds, leaning forward and turning the inner edge to take a long step, the direction of the left foot sliding in remains unchanged, the arc of the blade under the foot remains unchanged, the right foot floats and swings the leg to take off, the body rotates three and a half times in the air, the right foot After falling on the ice for half a second, the outer edge slid out in a big step, and completed a difficult entry and exit. It was extremely exciting and could definitely be regarded as a double figure skating Axel triple axel.

The surrounding players, who were either aboveboard or secretly observing him during practice, stopped their practice one after another and cast their eyes on him, wanting to learn something from his skating.Find out, they are not idiots, how could they really put this talented athlete who can perform several quadruple jumps on an equal footing with themselves.

Looking at An Yi again, after he completed the first jump of Axel in the short program for three weeks, he jumped to the first set of swallow spins, and after completing the two steps of assisting to change the direction and posture of the spin, he entered the second counterclockwise. Group squat spins.

1 minute, 50 minute and a half, when the whole short program lasted to about [-] minute and [-] seconds, James Joyce was not sure about the success rate, and countless people in the ice rink were amazed by the quadruple jump.

Accompanied by the sound of the background music, the keys of the piano continued to dance, An Yi crossed his legs, his left foot floated in front of the right foot and landed on the ice behind, and his outer blade continuously turned to draw two '3' shaped lines on the ice. In an arc, the outer edge of the left foot fell, and the two feet twisted at the same time to take off, and flew to the sky with a crisp sound of the ice skates under the feet.

One lap, two laps, three laps, four laps.

again!

In full view, under the gaze of everyone, he completed a flawless quadruple jump!
