ice emperor

When the score appeared, the applause sounded. Ilya Ivanov was sitting on the equal score seat with a smile, and when his green eyes looked at the big screen in the arena, he revealed a message of 'this score is not bad'.

On the ice rink, Johnny, who was taking the last bit of time to prepare for the game, could not avoid it, and faced such a high score at the first time.

His eyes were fixed, his breathing was heavy, his eyes glanced horizontally, and a cold and hard arc was drawn from the corner of his mouth, and his whole body was full of aura.

108 point?

Very high.

But he is not afraid.

Because in the World Championships last season, he beat him.

What Russian figure skating men's singles legend, in his opinion, is just an old man who is nearly thirty years old.

Oh, yes, and with a little boy!He sincerely wished both father and son all the best.

"108 points? A new short program world record. Listen Johnny, you have no problem technically, you need to put in more energy in terms of performance transitions. I'm sure you know that in the World Championships last season, if it weren't for the Russians If you make a mistake, he will not lose to you. There is a big gap between you and him in terms of program content."

"Ho, Joyce, I know, I know, but please believe me. I admit that I am not as good as him or Louis in terms of acting, but I have been improving, haven't I? Also, competitions test art more than technology .I think my technical score this time will definitely be far higher than his."

'The next one to play was Johnny Wasenberg.From, Canada. '

'Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! '

'Johnny—'

Shouting and cheering, the on-site announcer issued a notice to continue the game, and the 30-second countdown began.

In the stands on all sides, hidden among the 3 spectators, Johnny's supporters began to get active, shouting "Son of the Sun" and "We Love You" like waves, pushing the feet of Johnny who had finished communicating with Joyce The ice blade turned and slid to the center of the ice rink.

In the backcourt preparation area, An Yi sat on the chair in the same posture as before, watching Johnny's game through the real-time screen.I am quite curious about how far this best friend can slide "Four Seasons: Winter".

Looking at his performance over the past few years, counting carefully, the style of the program is really quite changeable.Music seems to be very simple, but it is actually very difficult to skate well.

"...Johnny Wassenberg, once a hopeful star of Canadian figure skating, now a new generation of wonder."

"Looking back on his entire career, he has already won almost all the championship titles of international competitions in one category. Now, as long as he has one more gold medal in the ISU Grand Prix Finals, he will achieve the Grand Slam that all figure skaters dream of. Yes Yes, Grand Slam!"

Inside and outside the arena, the last ten seconds before the start of skating count down.

Far away in the live broadcast room of cbcsports in Toronto, Canada, Joe Baker, who hosted the commentary game, quickly introduced Johnny's personal information and then changed the topic. Got some encouragement.

then.

At the bottom of the live video of the game, Johnny's name, nationality, head coach's name and other information appeared and disappeared.

Eight seconds, seven seconds, six seconds, the preparation time is coming to an end.

Background music, Antonio Vivaldi, subtitles of "Four Seasons: Winter, Third Movement".He has short brown-blonde hair on the ice rink. He is over five feet nine inches tall. He is tall and strong. He wears a pure black long-sleeved T-shirt on the upper body, a pure black belt, trousers, and black skates on the lower body. The beautiful man started his performance.

Increase, increase, increase, increase.

Increase, increase, increase, increase—

One time, two times, three times, four times, the repeated short violin notes gradually accelerated, dancing and dancing.

Like the cold wind blowing in the wilderness in winter, it whirls in bursts, carrying dense snowflakes the size of goose feathers.

The sound changed from light to heavy, the seventh sound, Johnny, dressed in black, with a handsome face and a serious expression, kicked hard on the ice, supported his body with his left foot, and leaned on his left ankle with his right foot. His body center of gravity suddenly changed and tilted to the left. Swirling in a circle, with a series of twirling steps, opened the prelude to the whole short program.

Immediately afterwards, after a brief press step accelerated, his floating right foot dropped, and he slid along with the front outer edge of his left foot, smoothly and naturally connecting the big word on the outer edge, the big word on the inner edge, the knife-toothed small jump, and the ice surface. run on.

At the same time, the lead violin was pulling, creaking and falling. Amid the sound of the violin, he suddenly jumped up and the blade of the front half of his right foot fell on the ice. His left leg floated up and was in a straight line with the hip, and his body posture was " The t' shape starts to rotate, and the first technical movement of the short program, the jump-and-swallow turn, appears.

Then, the second technical movement is a squatting rotation in which the foot is changed without changing the basic posture.One lap, two laps, more than six laps for each foot before and after changing feet, three difficult squatting changes, and the squatting range is sufficient.

The third technical action, the short program stipulates a set of consecutive steps.

During the undulating violin performance, Johnny, in front of the audience, in front of the TV, and under the watchful eyes of countless viewers who watched the men's singles live broadcast of the grand prix, performed his own violin in a way beyond the understanding and expectations of most people. programme.

"Still jumping? This kid can do it. In order to further improve his technical points, he put all three sets of jumps in the second half of the show."

"It's okay to do this with enough physical strength and no mistakes. If there is a mistake, there is no place to cry. Hey, hey, I said you kid, why are you laughing, isn't your father right? Do you think all athletes are like you? Yes, so far in his career, he has never made a single mistake in the official arena!"

On the ice, in the backcourt, in the area where the Chinese national team is located, An Zexian seldom worried for Johnny once. In the end, his kindness was not rewarded, and I was not worried about returning his son. You, an outsider, are worried What a light smile.

Look, look, look, is this okay?

What's the matter, is it that you despise others and underestimate your good brother, or do you despise and underestimate the strong enemy you consider?

Gee!

I don't know what's so good about that muscular, single-minded fool, why he is so valued.

Moreover, there are some things, even if there is no trace now, as long as there is even the slightest possibility, he has to be more vigilant.

"Dad, Johnny's physical strength has never been a problem. As long as he doesn't make mistakes, the technical score of this short program will definitely be very high."

"Now, I'm more worried about the content of his program, especially the footwork connection, skating skills, and music expression. You see, it's like the sequence of steps he just finished skating. Although the grading is set to level four, The difficulty of connecting is not too great. The technical score is obtained, but the executable score and performance score are..."

Sitting up straight and speaking, An Yi pulled the red and white sportswear jacket of the national team on the upper half of his body, raised his chin slightly, and signaled An Zexian beside him to look at the real-time screen not far away.

as predicted.

As he said these words, five seconds after the end of the Johnny step on the ice rink, it was specially for the backcourt athletes and coaches, and the number showing the details of the real-time technical score was revised, and the four-level determined by the on-site technical experts The next step, after getting the full basic score of 3 without any accident, the Goe execution score decreased again and again, from the initial 9 to 1, and finally fell to 5, it is not certain move.

Looking at Johnny on the field, he should feel pretty good after skating in the short program so far.Because, skating this set of descriptions of ordinary people, walking carefully on the ice under heavy snow, he is actually smiling with a slightly funny music, and in the eyes captured by the live broadcast camera lens, there is naturally a kind of detachment, mischievousness, The cunning that seems to be quietly planning some prank.

The audience, who noticed the expression on his face at this moment, was infected by the vigor exuding from his body, and smiled knowingly and shook their heads and sighed softly.It was already foreseen without anyone reminding him that soon, this immature man who was speeding across the ice would definitely play tricks on his relatives and friends.

brush!

Time passed, and the short program was in the second half.

In the first minute and 30 seconds, as if the soles of his feet were stepping on the ice layer, the center of gravity was unstable and the dense short sound of dancing and dancing. After a short skating, Johnny turned his left foot three times and slid the outer edge in a large arc, all the way from the middle of the ice rink. West side of the ice rink.

The movement changed, and his right foot, which had been raised by the floating foot before, dropped the knife teeth to touch the ice.

With a sound of wind, there was a burst of uncontrollable screams from the audience around the stands. He flew several meters, folded his arms around his chest, and rotated his body. Daotooth Dianbing took off for the second time and spun three times before landing. With his excellent jump height and jump distance, he presented the first jump in the whole short program for those who are paying attention to him all over the world, the hook quadruple jump Then do a triple axel on the outside.

but.

This is not finished.

The fifth technical action is the second set of jumps, followed by the quadruple jumps in the rear inner knot ring.

After he jumped in four weeks and then three times, and landed on the ice to slide out to the west side of the ice rink, he slightly adjusted his skating direction and came to the south end of the ice rink. The inner edge of the half-raised right foot is retracted inward and pushed hard.

With a sound of rubbing, the two legs cooperated left and right, lowered the center of gravity of the body in a "eight" shape, exerted force with the blade of the left foot, assisted with the blade of the right foot, twisted the waist and sent another quadruple jump that made people applaud vigorously!

So far, his entire program has been basically completed, and only two of the seven technical moves remain.A two- or three-week axel single jump, a joint spin with a change of foot.

"Dad, let's go. It's time to go to the front court to prepare for the game. Then, remember the bet you made just now. Your son will become the richest man in the world in the future. If everything goes well, Dad, you will take grandpa to travel around the world from now on. That's good, leave the money to support the family to your son and me."

"..."

Patting his chest, he stood up from his seat, turned his head, and walked away. An Yi walked in the front and took the lead. After hearing his words, An Zexian and several national team staff followed behind.

World 's richest man?My baby, I'm afraid you haven't woken up yet.

Just rely on your broken website?

Hehehe, you old man, even if I wait until the next life, I will definitely not see it.

'Johnny Wassenberg! '

'Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! '

'Johnny! '

'sweetheart!we love you! ! '

"..."

The backcourt and the frontcourt walked out of the athlete's aisle unhurriedly. An Yi, An Zexian and his group happened to catch up with Johnny after skating, and waved to the audience around the stands to thank them for their support at the end.

By the protective wall of the ice rink, James Joyce, who was waiting for the big disciple to leave, immediately noticed that An Yi raised his hand and beckoned to him. After hearing the sound of the rapidly approaching skates gliding across the ice, he turned around and handed him a hand. After putting on the skate cover, he simply explained a few words to a certain guy who was out of breath, then very ruthlessly abandoned him and threw him into the arms of his beloved little disciple, and began to guide him before the game.

As for that poor Johnny, he shrugged helplessly after taking what Joyce handed him, and gave An Yi a 'sad' high-five, and watched him stand on the ice rink and look away with a bright smile on his face. With a smile, he walked towards the equal division a few meters away.

But!As he approached, as he saw the old man who had been sitting on the waiting seat until now standing up, he lost all good mood.

He is almost twenty years old now.I swear to God, I've never hated someone so much.

"Joyce, wait for the seats..."

On and off the court, the distance is not too far, An Yi noticed Johnny's situation not long after he set foot on the ice rink.

However, Joyce didn't seem to care about it at all.Hearing his worried voice, he turned his head and glanced at the man who spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, with an expression of what, what happened over there.

Seeing that An Yi had no choice but to smile helplessly, he thought that perhaps Joyce had his own reasons for not reminding Johnny just now?

So it's better for him to just watch obediently, there's no need to worry.Don't look at that bastard Johnny who is 'beating and scolding' in front of him. He doesn't care about anything. He has a lot of temper that a normal man should have towards others.

"Focus on Louis, you're about to start the game, don't get distracted by Johnny."

"As your head coach, after you jump out of that move, I may have nothing to teach you on the technical level. But, because of these, will you win in the future? No! Mentality is everything, even if you are a king Pride cannot be lacking. However, the strength of willpower and whether he can maintain restraint and sobriety in his career in the future are the prerequisites for determining whether a successful athlete who dominates an era can be sanctified and forever remembered by the world. "

Maybe it's because of some bad signs from An Yi's body, or maybe it's clear to the bystanders that James Joyce, who has never been so serious for many years, has a fat, round face and warns An Yi in an extremely formal and serious tone. .

Looking closely at An Yi, he was stunned after listening to Joyce's words. After pondering for a moment, his brows gradually frowned until they were deeply locked.After some introspection, he was shocked to find that even if he didn't want to face it in his heart, he had to admit that Joyce was indeed right.

Yes.

He was proud, as Joyce had warned him.Too...proud.

Since when?

After winning the Olympic champion and being sought after by others, is it easy to go to university again, or after successfully jumping out of the Axel quadruple jump?

Thinking back carefully, he did look down on the performance of other athletes recently.Arrogant... no!It should be said that it is okay to be arrogant.

Fortunately, it was discovered early, otherwise, if it continues to develop, maybe one day it will be lost forever.

"...Joyce, I think you are right, thank you, I am lucky in my life to be able to study under your guidance."

Closing his eyes and sighing, he raised his head and took a deep breath. An Yi opened his arms and hugged the thick body of his head coach, and leaned his head on the side of his neck regardless of the camera on the field.

Seeing his reaction like this, Joyce breathed a sigh of relief, and patted him on the back vigorously in response. He was very grateful that he had won the Olympic champion back then, and had the opportunity to help the two disciples in time after going through a similar mental journey. adjust your mindset.

After the conversation just now, and seeing the reaction of his beloved little disciple, he was sure that he had woken up.

And what about the other one, when will you wake up?

Louis is pride, he is the dissatisfaction, stubbornness, and loss accumulated by failures.

For him, Louis is the best friend, the best brother, and the object of his crush. It is okay to lose to him, but absolutely not to lose to others.Once this happens, the resentment that didn't seem to exist before, how could it not exist in reality, will affect him and bring his character to the extreme.

'A contestant from Canada, Johnny Wassenberg.The result after the short program is——"

‘技术分：62．49。节目内容分：45．０6。短节目总分：107．55。rank：2。’

'wow! ? '

In 2 minutes or 3 minutes, after Joyce solved An Yi's problem, Johnny finally got his score on the waiting table.

Total score: 107?

Seriously, really high.

but!

In the end he still lost to that nasty old Russian man, again, again!

If it wasn't for him, if it wasn't for him!He can already...

Ok? !

The score appeared, and the boredom suddenly arose. Johnny, who has been disliked by Ilya Ivanov since he met him at the ISU Grand Prix last year, stared at the content of the program that was worth more than 45 points. points, his face gloomy.

At this moment, several lines of sight suddenly poked him, which immediately aroused his vigilance. When he looked up, it turned out to be Joyce who was inexplicably dissatisfied with him, Louis who pointed at the big screen in the arena to signal him to restrain himself, and that cold A Russian with a face that doesn't look like he cares, but God knows, definitely cares a lot.

At this moment, on the arena, at the side of the ice rink, and at the entrance of the athletes' passageway, three pairs of eyes looked straight at him, all conveying some kind of message to him.

Just, damn it!

He knew what Joyce and Louis meant, and he was very grateful, but he didn't want to understand and didn't want to understand what the last hateful guy meant.

He knew that he might be venting his anger, but he really couldn't control it.Grand Prix winner, last season's Grand Prix winner!

"Joyce, Johnny, this is..."

"Leave him alone, this kid has been dazzled by inappropriate attachments, he needs to calm down. Speaking of your short program "Piano Lesson" Louis, the focus on artistic expression is still the same as before, right? In that case, you need to..."

"No, Joyce, this "The Piano Lesson" has no reluctance or connotation."

"Oh, what are you talking about my child, no connotation? Maybe I should put it another way, what is the theme of your short program? No no no, I noticed that you are shaking your head and your eyes are smiling. I think you must It's Crazy My Boy, a figure skating program, how can there be no story to match the choreography."

"I'm not crazy about Joyce. After training for so many years and skating up to now, sometimes I really feel that figure skating doesn't really need—"

'The next player to play is Louis Watts (yian).from China! ! ! '

'Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! ! ! '

Rumble.

Like the sound of thunder, like a landslide and tsunami, with the deliberately raised voice of the on-site announcer, when it was An Yi's turn to play, the sound waves from the 3 spectators at the scene spread to the hearts of people watching the game all over the world, shocking with their souls.

Countdown to 30 seconds.

After An Yi was interrupted by the announcer in the middle of his speech, he simply did not continue.

Smiling, he nodded at Joyce and An Zexian. Before turning around and sliding away, his blue eyes swept across Johnny who walked out of the equal division to Joyce, and brushed past the Russian man leaning against the wall of the athlete's passageway. Calmly with scrutinizing eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he didn't understand why he suddenly smiled.

Are you proud...

Yes.

After listening to Joyce's words, he has realized his mistake, readjusted his mentality, and made a decision. In the future, he will try his best not to disappoint his family and friends, and will try his best to take advantage of this "pride" .

From today, from now on, his arrogance will no longer be aimed at other athletes, their programs, or their performance, but only at himself.

After winning the Olympic title, is he already the strongest singles figure skater on the planet?

Yes!

But ah.

He believes that he can still be stronger!

Brush, brush.

Sliding, speeding up, leaving a puzzling smile, An Yi, dressed in two pieces, a standard men's black shirt, black suit pants made of elastic fabric, and black skates, rode the audience's endless cheers The sound stopped in the middle of the ice rink.

The last 15 seconds of prep time.

He turned sideways, inhaled, lowered his head, raised his left arm to his chest, lowered his right arm and stretched his five fingers, pointing his index finger to the ice surface, with a touch of affection hanging on his eyes, as if he was looking at the soul through the reflection on the ice nostalgia.

"piano Lesson".

Two seasons have passed for this program that he once skied but was wrong. It is time to make up for the regrets in his heart.

After accumulating for such a long time, he has discovered that sometimes when performing a set of programs, the story will not become a boost but a constraint.

Good music, paired with good-looking gliding, seems to have no connotation, but in fact, as long as the two aspects are perfect, even if you don't take the initiative to tell the story you want to express, different people will get different things from the show move.

This is called enlightenment.

From the most complex to the simplest.
