ice emperor

The announcer's voice fell, and the [-] spectators at the scene burst into exclamation. The camera lens of the live broadcast of the game switched, using a familiar method and shooting angle, aiming at the big screen showing the score of the short program.

10 minutes ago, the Russian just slipped out 10 points to create a new world record.Unexpectedly, [-] minutes later, the former world record holder, Chinese Louis Woz (YIAN), finished the race and broke the record again.

Not only did Ilya Ivanov, who was sitting on the throne of "World King of Short Program Scores", be knocked off, but he also raised his short program score to [-] points. Admire the height of looking up.

'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-! ! ! '

'Louis! '

'Louis! '

'Louis! '

With applause and shouting, the short program score appeared, and the audience in the stands on all sides fell into a frenzy. They left their seats and flocked to the front of the stands again, and took out the few remaining small gifts and threw them into the ice rink.

It directly caused the ice boy who had just cleaned up the ice to have to go back again, and also forced the American Joel Duroc, who just wanted to seize the last bit of time and slide a few meters to warm up and feel himself, to stop with a wry smile.

Other than that, what else.Uh - game?

What's more in this situation, just wait.

Although the number of gifts thrown into the arena by the audience is quite a bit less, it is only relatively speaking, and the actual number is still so much that all figure skaters are envious and jealous.

'AN! '

'...'

"Thank you everyone!"

"Thank you!"

'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ! ! '

'AN——! '

Witnessing everything that was happening in the arena with his own eyes, considering the progress of the game, An Yi took the initiative to get up from the equal seats, waved to the audience in turn to express his gratitude, then stretched out his finger and pointed to the ice surface, and cooperated with both hands to make a "please stop" Actions.

The effect was immediate, and the drizzle that continued to throw gifts stopped suddenly, and was replaced by more enthusiastic cheers and applause.

In 30 seconds and 1 minute, while the ice boys were picking up gifts, An Yi saw that the ice fans had finally got control of their emotions, and turned to An Zexian and Joyce, who were waiting beside him, with an apologetic smile, and was about to signal, "Let's go back." Backcourt', he didn't expect a burst of laughter from the sky above the arena, which attracted him to look over.

As a result, when he followed the audience's line of sight and looked at the big screen in the arena, he was completely stunned, stunned, and almost forgot to breathe.

Joyce!

It's Joyce!

It was Joyce who jumped up on the spot, dressed in formal attire, spun three times in the air and landed on the ground with his floating legs open.

It was he who came to the west side of the ice rink and stopped, and started again to perform the step-by-step and left. His foot movements, arm postures, and facial expressions were [-]% in sync with him. The former Canadian men's singles legend and now Canadian white bread James Joy Si!

"Wow, look at this treatment, close-up of the live broadcast around the world. Tsk tsk tsk, as expected of a former Olympic champion, but it's different, it's really enviable, old man."

"... AN! Please shut up."

Because the audience's reaction was too big and too obvious, the head coach who also discovered the truth of the incident in a blink of an eye strongly stated that all of this was not what he wanted.

He snorted coldly, turned his head, and after reprimanding An Zexian for his ridicule, he turned his round face and walked away, leaving the continuous laughter behind him, and rushed into the athlete's aisle like flying, reassuring himself in his heart that he was not shy To escape, but there is still a disciple in the backcourt who needs his guidance and help.

but.

Although his thoughts were good, he shouldn't have forgotten the character of another disciple under the pressure of embarrassment and anger.

It directly caused him to be overwhelmed by exaggerated laughter immediately after he returned to the backcourt preparation area and walked into the position of the Canadian members.

As for who is the one who dares to do this?Of course his big disciple Johnny Wassenberg!Throughout the entire backcourt, he was the only one laughing!

"Hahahahaha! God Joyce, you're so funny!"

"Johnny..."

"I swear, this is the best laugh I've had all year. By the way, I have a great idea Mr. Coach. I beg you, when I play a game later, you will be with me on the sidelines Let's perform together, okay?"

"Johnny!!"

Roaring angrily, the two fighting together, this is what An Yi saw after returning to the backcourt.

Shaking his head, he stopped and watched for about a minute. He didn't step forward to disturb the pair of mentors and apprentices who were having a loving interaction. He turned back to the small world of the Chinese national team, sat back to his old position, took off his skates and began to rest, his thoughts gradually drifting away. Yuan focused on tomorrow's free skating, the World Championships at the end of March.

Time passed, 5 minutes, 7 minutes, not far from the real-time screen, the on-site announcer's voice announcing the short program score woke him up, and when he shifted his gaze, he found that Joel Duroc, the fifth player in the game, had completed his performance , Waiting for his short program to score, Johnny, who was the last to play, also stood on the ice.

What do you seem to have forgotten?

Oh!

Joel Duroc scored [-] points in the short program, creating his best short program score of the season.

Congratulations, but that's all.

Because including himself, anyone who knows something about figure skating knows in their hearts that such a score may be very good, but it is still not enough to look at in front of the three big bosses of figure skating men's singles.

'The last to compete in the short program was Johnny Wassenberg, from Canada. '

'Johnny! '

'Johnny! ! '

Hush huh huh.

Enthusiastic applause, cheers, and the final 30-second countdown before the official game.

With short brown-blonde hair on top of his head, Johnny, who was wearing a white shirt and a black suit and black trousers performance costume, made sure to check his physical condition, and skated to the middle of the ice rink before the end of the preparation time, knelt down on one knee, covered his heart with his left hand and stretched his right hand toward the Facing the referee's seat in the north, there was a flash of tenderness in his eyes.

The music is ringing.

It is from the British composer, Elgar's "Praise of Love".The main theme of the music is played by the mellow and moving cello, accompanied by the melodious piano percussion.

The show begins.

Johnny, who was kneeling on the ice, held his left hand still and turned his right wrist lightly.

His head was raised slightly, his eyes were fixed upwards, his lips opened and closed and he muttered silently.

It was like asking, like waiting, until a shock and joy appeared on the shoulder.

In an instant, endless joy surrounded him, prompting him to clenched his right hand and retracted his arms to stand up, kicking the skates under his feet, turning and leaning over to kiss.With a unique and elegant style that he had never tried before, he opened the short program performance that was finally officially confirmed after two races.

"It's not bad, it's a lot more delicate."

"By the way, boy, the little golden retriever is skating "Praise of Love" this time. Dad asks you, do you know what this song means?"

"..."

Johnny's game started, five seconds, ten seconds, 20 seconds, An Yi concentrated on watching. After discussing chores with his colleagues in the backcourt preparation area, An Zexian who returned to his side watched the real-time screen for a while, weird With a sigh, it was obvious that he asked this question with something in his words.

Glancing at him, An Yi really wanted to answer directly, don't underestimate your son, well, "Praise of Love" is a song dedicated to your partner, and there is only one theme: affectionate love.

But considering the time and place, he himself, the person who asked this question, and the person who sang this song were very vigilant and didn't answer anything in the end. As expected, he found it from his father's face, the disappointment that this kid is too smart and too uncooperative .

He snorted and turned his head away, too lazy to care about someone who was out of shape, he pressed his heart to follow the music to get his insights, see the essence through the performance, and pay attention to the technical performance of Johnny's short program.

A pair of azure blue eyes, chasing the man who slid emotionally and narrated love in the real-time screen, the heart beats with every jump and fall of him, feeling the touch of the music itself on the soul of the audience.

The first technical move is to jump around the back of the ice.

The second and third technical movements are jump-and-swallow-style spins, squatting-style spins that change feet without changing positions.

The cello strings are pulled like a wave of music, the story advances bit by bit, and the love between Johnny on Ice and the invisible lover spreads.

Technical movements rise and fall, thoughts pause and retreat, countless pictures flash, quickly return to the past, and then pull back from the past to the present.The young and immature figure overlaps with the mature and sunny figure who is eagerly waiting for love.

chap!

The skates slid across the ice and made a crisp sound, and at the first minute and 15 seconds of the short program, he began to execute the follow-up steps.

An Yi looked at it and smiled, feeling that his best brother really knew his own weaknesses very well, and spent a lot of energy in order to make up for the shortcomings he shouldn't have.

The results are also quite remarkable.

Although it is still not as good as his and Ilya Ivanov's footwork, compared with his own previous seasons, the change is undoubtedly huge.

I believe that the scoring judges will be very satisfied after seeing it.The reason is that through his skating, everyone can most intuitively feel the efforts he has made to improve his technical defects.

Turn three steps to connect the movement, the knife-tooth step touches the ice and runs to set off the atmosphere of the show. Johnny steps on the step with obvious progress, and starts to slide from the west side of the ice rink. The ice skates danced to narrate, and the infinitely gentle eyes flowed to tell the love words.

Observe his movements.

Compared with before, the skating feeling seems to be very delicate, but in fact, every stop and every connection can still capture his most obvious performance characteristics, the sense of power.

It makes his whole program soft and strong, and his emotional expression is more complete, just like a young and reckless boy, after the baptism of time, he finally grows up and learns to be tactful, and grows into an excellent and mature man.

The overall feeling, like his experience so far in his career, is impulsive, confused, sad, painful, and happy.

As touching as it looked, the whole process was brutal.

"..."

'Johnny Wassenberg! '

At two minutes and 49 seconds, An Yi sank into his thoughts and sighed. When the music ended and the performance stopped, Johnny returned to the center of the ice rink again on the field, tightening his embrace with a smile on his face in a similar movement to the opening.

This season, he followed Julianne Pat's suggestion and chose this style of program because he wanted to break through the safe zone of skating habits.

So far, the effect is not bad, but I don’t know if the scoring referees will like it.He still has the same old idea, he doesn't expect his score to be higher than his best friend Louis Watts, he just wants to be higher than the old Russian man.

Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, he had to say that he was quite stimulated by the classic scene of their handshake and interaction.

After finishing his short program skating, Johnny thanked the audience who cheered for him, ran and jumped out of the ice rink, and jumped on Joyce, who was still sulking, to pray for forgiveness. There was a burst of laughter.

Afterwards, he was driven by Joyce, who had nothing to do with him, and sat in the upper class seat to wait for the score. The serious eyes that did not match the cheerful expression on his face stared at the big screen playing back the slow motion, and reconfirmed the details of his performance just now. Afterwards, he breathed a sigh of relief.

then.

The mental and emotional concentration and excitement receded, and the pain in his shoulders, lower back, hip bones, and thighs once again surrounded him.He really wanted to rub it with his hands, but his rationality told him that he must be patient and not make his already worried relatives and friends even more worried.

A season and a half!

Just one more season and a half to go!

After that, he can relax his body and enjoy life to the fullest.

Do something that you've dreamed about and longed for for a long, long time.

'Johnny Wassenberg, the score after the short program is-'

The announcer made a sound amidst the silent murmur, and Johnny clasped the sweat tissue in his hand tightly, raised his eyes to look at the LCD screen in front of the equal seats.

'Technical score: [-].Program content points: [-].The total score of the short program: [-]. rank: [-]. '

'wow! ! '

"yes!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!!!"
