ice emperor

"one two three four five six seven eight."

"Rotating, hooking, upper body leaning forward, keeping legs upright."

"Very well, boys and girls, this is how it feels, please continue to follow the melody of the music and try to understand the deep connotation of 'Ballade No. Other emotions are mixed up."

In the dance practice room of the Chinese national figure skating national team, at the request of Hu Zhenbang and An Zexian, Julian Pat, who occasionally acts as a foreign coach, is giving dance lessons to a total of eight national team members who are equally divided between men and women.

Outside the practice room, An Yi stood at the door and watched for a while when he passed by after changing his training clothes.He exchanged a line of sight with Julian Pat who found him, and after seeing the meaning expressed in the other's eyes, he scratched his head with a wry smile, and fled at the speed of light.

Okay, one or two, isn't it okay if he knows he's wrong?If he does things like Chinese style, thankless things in the future, he will be a pig!

It's enough to be annoying and troublesome to others.

God knows how he survived these days after returning from Zhushan Temple.

The difficult free skating, the extremely difficult short program, and some time ago, his father had to bite the bullet and report the free skating style to the leaders of the ice and snow center, which really taught him a good lesson.

If Hu Zhenbang hadn't made the final decision at the last minute, it's really hard to say what the final outcome of the matter would be.

With emotion in his heart, he whispered an apology to Julian Pat, and An Yi trotted all the way to the training area of ​​the ice rink.

That is, when he first saw his father's figure beside the ice rink, he was immediately attracted by the things his father was holding in his hand.

It was a cloak made of blue yarn with a simple shape, the sleeve length only reaching the forearm, and the hem length reaching the thigh.

Don't think about it, it must be his performance costume for the free skating program. It has been two months since they came back, and it is indeed time to come up with simple adjustments to the finished product.

He, the only thing he is lucky about now is that the costumes for the free skating are relatively simple, not as difficult to deal with as the content of the program.

Otherwise, the people related to this matter would definitely hate him to death in their hearts.

"Come on? Come on, come on, this is the cloak you drew back then, try wearing it on ice and see if it can achieve the effect you want."

"But I guess it's hanging. The material is too soft, and the hem of the clothes is a bit long. It will definitely stick to your body when it slides. If it goes wrong, it may affect your execution of technical movements."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, An Zexian called An Yi to his side, helped him put on the dark blue cloak, patted his shoulder and pointed to the ice, beckoning him to go up and skate Take a few laps to see what's going on.

An Yi, put on this loose, long-sleeved, lightweight coat, fasten the straps on the chest, move the joints of the limbs a little, bend down to take off the ice skates under the feet, and stand on the ice rink. Ice slide.

As a result, it was okay at first, the loose cloak was flying for a ride, elegant and unrestrained like a fairy.Ten seconds later, as he was skating faster and faster on the ice, what his father was worried about before really appeared.

The upturned corners of the robe, the overly long hem of the clothes wrapped around his legs and waist, and the body of the robe bulged up by the speed of skating greatly affected his efficiency in performing technical movements.

The most typical example is that in the past, he needed [-]% of his strength to do the axel jump, but now he needs to add at least [-]% of his strength under the influence of air resistance.

And not only that, when he jumped into the air and started to rotate his body, he had to control the axis of rotation as hard as possible, so as not to be skewed by his clothes, otherwise he would—

thump!

Jumping forward, spinning three and a half times in the air, and when the ice fell and slid out, the skates swayed and sat on the ice. An Yi actually made a mistake when completing the triple jump with an infinitely close to [-]% success rate under normal circumstances.

On the side of the ice rink, outside the protective wall.

When An Yi gritted his teeth and subconsciously looked at him for comfort, An Zexian shrugged his shoulders and let out a gleeful laugh.

The meaning of the expression on the face is quite obvious, making you stubborn!It's too late to regret now, eat the bitter fruit you brewed yourself!

Really.

If he had listened to him back then, there would have been so much trouble skating "Piano Lesson" and "firstsnows".Maybe at this time they have already begun to fine-tune the connection and carefully craft the program.

How like now!

It has been several months, the program has just edited a beginning, the costumes have also affected the ice skating, all kinds of realities can no longer be described with many disasters.

He even has a feeling now that even if they persevere and overcome the current difficulties, this free skating program will definitely bring them new troubles in the future.

"dad."

"Humph!"

"Dad~"

"How old are you still acting like a baby? Are you addicted to sitting on the ice to cool off?"

Combining all the phenomena and drawing a not-so-good conclusion, An Zexian felt quite irritable in his heart.

The next second, when he heard An Yi's voice, he grinned and glanced across.After stabbing An Yi who was looking at him angrily, he continued to taunt without sympathy.

"What's the matter, this is, I can't get up, is it because the clothes you designed yourself are too heavy? Let me interview you on the spot, how do you feel now? Do you regret that you didn't listen to the advice and go your own way? It's too late! Let me tell you! Slide Costumes and slide music have already been produced, and now you want to change? No way!"

"..."

It was the second time today, I don't know how many times in recent months, An Yi was targeted again because of the free skating.

But there is no way, just like what An Zexian said, he can't change it now even if he wants to.After all, the resources provided by the national team to athletes are limited, and it is impossible for him to waste them at will, and this is not just a matter of resources, how many pairs of eyes are watching inside and out.

So, regarding this incident, even An Zexian, who used to complain that the national team was not enough and that Dad paid you to make up for it, didn't mention it. On the one hand, he wanted to use this incident to teach him a lesson. On the other hand, he also took into account the influence, and didn't want to cause more criticism to him who was already special enough in the national team.

This person is forgetful, especially after the benefits have been obtained.

hero?Thanks, but sorry.Is it important to have one's own vital interests?

"...Dad, remember this for me. The hem of the clothes is cut two-thirds short, leaving only fifteen centimeters below the waist. The cuffs of the middle sleeves are reduced, and the large sleeves are not suitable for skating on ice."

Sitting alone on the ice rink and thinking about it for a while, An Yi stood up on his knees, pulled the cloak outside the training uniform, picked up the training record book from the edge of the ice rink, and An Zexian, who wrote down his requirements, added road.

"And the shape of the clothes, don't be too loose, it's easy to go for a ride and increase the resistance. Well, by the way, add something to increase the weight when the hem is locked, so that it doesn't pile up on the body when it slips. In addition--Dad, you laugh Why are you laughing, your son is so happy when he suffers?"

"Uh, okay, don't stare, I promise there will be no next time, okay? From now on, I will definitely listen to you, listen to you!"

One by one, An Yi, An Zexian, father and son worked together, summed up the problems, checked for omissions, and continued to practice until they felt perfect.

The days that followed were not much different from today.

Follow the steps of training, making mistakes, improving, and training, and the time has come to September unconsciously.

According to the plan, An Yi, An Zexian and Julian Patt left China and flew to Montreal Meteor Ice Rink to meet James Joyce and conduct the final stage of intensive training under his guidance.

Counting the days, there are only two months left before the official start of the Grand Prix of the new season, followed by the Winter Olympics, and the 2 World Championships. There is not much time left for them to prepare.Urgency is quite urgent, but An Yi is also looking forward to it.

Looking forward to the arrival of the biggest event in the sports world.

2００1年9月3号，加拿大蒙特利尔当地时间，下午15点3０分。

After An Yi arrived at the ice rink, after enjoying the warm welcome from his grandfather Clark Watts, he put his luggage in his room at the old ice rink.After taking a shower and resting for a while, I rushed to the new ice rink, planning to surprise my two friends.

In addition, he also admitted that he had some surprise inspections, and he was very concerned about the recovery of his best friend's right foot.

When he was still in China before, although the two of them had video calls every now and then, people said how could it be accurate to watch it live?

What I'm fine, I'm feeling great now, the Achilles tendon in my right foot is no longer a problem, hope it's not a joke.You know, that guy has a previous record of reporting good news but not bad news.

brush.

brush--

chap!

Thinking about walking, full of anticipation in his heart, An Yi stepped into the interior of the new ice rink, and the moment he saw the unbelievably wide ice surface, the crisp sound of the ice blades cutting through the ice reached his ears.

The black shadow sped forward, and saw a familiar figure slid from the east side of the ice rink to the west side at an extremely fast speed, gliding on the front outer edge of the left foot, suddenly turned, and changed the inner edge.

The left shoulder and left arm are in front, the right shoulder and right arm are behind, the floating foot of the right foot is raised and dropped, the blade teeth suddenly hit the ice surface and splashes of broken ice, at the same time, the inner edge of the left foot is used to take off, and the arms are tightened and reversed. After the hour hand rotates around for four weeks, it falls, and slides out for two seconds with the rear outer edge of the right foot, turns around with a swing of the arm, and takes a big step with the ice blade of the left foot.

Clean and flawless, he completed a technical move that shocked An Yi very much, and he jumped on the ice in the back!
