Click, click, click——

2００1年3月28号早上10:30，本届花样滑冰世界锦标赛正式比赛日第一天。

In the media room of the sub-venue, the official who presided over the drawing ceremony for the order of appearance in the men's singles short program read out the name of the first player in the sixth group who stepped forward to draw lots. The camera lens, the camera lens, was aimed at the boy who stood up from the back seat.

The finger presses the shutter to take a photo, and the camera records a video, showing his figure, face, eyebrows and eyes in close-up.The degree of frenzied attention is even worse than the shooting of the athletes ranked first to sixth, the last group of players on the field during the competition.

And more than that.

Apart from the fact that they attached great importance to this boy, the athletes who had drawn lots ahead of him obviously also attached great importance to him.When he walked forward from behind, they all stopped what they were doing, locked their eyes on him and studied him.

The earnest and evaluating eyes were enough to show that this boy had gained their approval and was placed on the same level as them, or even a higher status.

Think about the news of the past two days, such as 'reappearance of quadruple jump in the rear outer knot ring', 'Chinese teenagers are in amazing condition', 'little genius Louis Watts will prove himself in this World Championship' and other news, no one will Let your guard down for this handsome boy with a standard figure.

"Good luck, my boy."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Following the voice of the ISU official, he walked up to the female staff member holding a black velvet cloth bag. The Chinese boy was An Yi. He first thanked the other party for his blessings, and then put his hand into the bag.

He didn't get entangled in this process, and he accepted whether the third group was the first to play or the last to play.The difference is that there are 35 or [-] people in front, and the difficulty of breaking through many obstacles and killing a bloody road is almost the same. All he needs to do is to go all out and show the best of himself on the field.

"Eighteen."

call!

so far so good.

The third group was the last to play.

It is already the most perfect result under the current conditions.

He took out the number plate, gave it to the female staff, turned around and left. When An Yi heard the number '18', he happened to notice the reactions of the members of the Chinese national team who accompanied him to the draw ceremony in the backcourt.

Especially his dad.

The expression on his face was so exaggerated that he almost laughed out loud.

Really.

It's not that there was no lottery before. As for this, the world championships are like this, so next year's Winter Olympics must not pass out on the spot?

After the lottery was drawn and his order of appearance was confirmed, An Yi teased An Zexian, who noticed that he was looking at him, and blinked. He went back to his old position and sat down to wait for the lottery ceremony to end.

During the process, he thought about many things, such as the reports on him by the world media after the public practice that day, whether he would only do a quadruple jump in the short program competition tomorrow afternoon, whether it was enough to beat other opponents, and whether it was enough to send himself into the top three after the game.Or is it that he has been a player with Martian difficulty since the beginning of entering the adult group, recreating the double four-week period that was banned by Joyce in the short program?

Think about it carefully when did that happen?If I remember correctly, it should be in late April 1998.

Time flies so fast...

Drawing lots and waiting, on the afternoon of March 3th, when the men's singles match was approaching, An Yi became more and more calm.

It was a strange kind of calm, not insensitivity, but self-possession and intense concentration.

After returning to the hotel from the media room where the lottery ceremony was held, he seemed to have been sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the coastal street in a daze, but in fact he reviewed short program training videos through the system in his mind over and over again, deepening his understanding of music. , understanding of action and performance.

Faced with this situation, An Zexian, who also stayed with him in the guest room, has gained experience in accompanying the game for so many years, and knows that it is best not to disturb the personal world of his children at such moments, and there is no need to worry His cranky thoughts affected his competitive state.

Thinking carefully about the past experience, countless facts proved that his precious son was born a big-time athlete with a big heart.In the face of competition, he is never timid and has a strong sense of competitiveness, and his demands on himself will only become higher every time.As a father, instead of worrying about his fear of failure before the game, he might as well think about how he can help him tidy up and wipe his ass when this kid does some amazing things on the ice rink someday .

One article, two articles, three articles, because he was bored and too lazy to read, An Zexian opened his notebook and connected to the Internet, flipping through the news reports related to his son in the past few days from the 26th to the 28th.

It turned out not bad.

In addition to a few American media reports on domestic athletes, there are sour studies on the abnormal performance of zero-error sports geniuses in the Chinese arena.

The other media, even the Ukrainians who had previously confronted the Canadian media of "An Yi's mother", were careful not to speak out immediately this time, as if they were afraid of being slapped in the face again.

In addition, it is the performance of the domestic media, such as cctv5, which finally did not cause trouble for his son. They hyped at the beginning of the competition: "Super Difficult Quadruple Jump to Reappear", "Genius Shining", "Chinese Figure Skating New Year's Eve" hope', and the like.

Very smart, no, it should be said that he did something very cunning. On the 27th, he posted the short program video of his kid on the official website for people to browse.It seems that he has not expressed his position, but he has actually expressed his position, and he has not yet fulfilled the facts.Even if there was an accident in the end, An Yi's abnormal performance would not have any effect on them, because they didn't say anything.

Thinking of this, An Zexian shook his head with complicated emotions, and swiped his fingers to switch the web page to the comment area under cctv5, his son's public training video.

A pair of eyes looked at the various messages of netizens on the webpage, and squinted his eyes to realize that he had forgotten this part due to negligence.Fortunately, it was not too late to find out in time, and there was still a chance to guide the operation.In his opinion, sometimes "love" is more troublesome than "hate", and a little bad will lead to negative comments.

Joyce's lifetime tweet: First of all, I would like to thank the Husky boss for his guidance, and then I confessed to Joyce. I wondered if it was my illusion that he lost a little weight?Finally, I appreciate my husband's wonderful performance, the quadruple jump is simply amazing. '

'Favorite men's doubles throw jump: Hey, seeing An Yi like this makes me miss my Johnny even more.Oh my goodness, when on earth are we going to see them throw jumps again? '

'Old Monk Sansu: The program is beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful, because you jumped into the figure skating pit.It's the first time for a newcomer to figure skating, so please ask for An Yi's previous game videos. '

Passerby A: I don't understand what the above mentioned. I just want to sigh after watching this video. After so many years, Chinese figure skating finally has a good seed.Now I hope that it will not grow crooked in the end, it would be a pity.Also, I don't quite understand why he is a good Chinese, why he should be called Louis Watts, a foreign name.Wouldn't it be more affectionate to call him An Yi or Yi An? '

'The sun around the husky: what the hell is Yi An?Even if it is yian, how does it look like a Chinese name?For those who don’t know the truth, my husband An Yi is of Chinese-Canadian descent. His father is An Zexian, the coach of the figure skating national team, and his mother is the former Canadian women’s singles pride, and now the Chinese national team women’s singles coach Joanna Watts.Just turned 16 years old this year, male and female, Chinese name is An Yi, English name is Louis Watts. '

'Onlookers: Yoyo, is this a family history or something else?Parents are national team coaches and son is national team player.This is really, tsk tsk tsk... intriguing...'

Whether it is positive or negative, it is obviously just a normal training video, but it leads to very different comments in the comment area.

At this time, although China's Internet has just become popular, there are too many Chinese people. Even if the proportion of Internet users is small, the real number is actually not small.In the comments and comments, there are those who like it and those who don't. There are also a few weird ones who are purely black and black.

Fortunately, An Yi's nationality helped him a lot at this time. After such malicious remarks appeared, a group of upright netizens acted in unison, and soon the few keyboard warriors who did not know how powerful they were when they connected to the Internet disappeared.

At the same time, An Zexian, who was worried about his son, had a new idea after reading these comments.He gave birth to an idea that should be able to introduce his precious son and greatly increase his popularity at home and abroad.
