ice emperor

At two minutes and 40 seconds, the music ended and An Yi finished the short program with a slide.

Seven technical moves, three sets of jumps, three sets of spins, and one set of continuous footwork, it can be said that he has completed them quite well.

Especially not long after the opening, he was used to the natural footwork to enter the back-in-loop quadruple jump, and the back-out point ice quadruple and then three-circle joint jump in the second half of the short program, which shocked the onlookers every time.

Added to this is the artistic expression he displayed while skating.Even James Joyce, who was quite critical of his deliberate pursuit of difficulty in movements, had to admit that he far exceeded his expectations and left his other two disciples far behind.

Even if judged by his eyes, the average artistic score of this short program will not be lower than [-] or [-].It can almost be said that the youth group is absolutely invincible.

'Ding! '

'System prompt: It is detected that the host has completed the short program "Ode to the Swan".Has the host submitted the short program and its performance during the slide? '

"submit."

I just finished skating my short program, but I was still immersed in the music and couldn't fully wake up.When An Yi heard the relevant information about this short program, he replied casually, and the next moment he realized that something was wrong.

"Eh!? Wait, wait, the system boss waits first!"

"I didn't actually hear your question clearly just now, I just agreed subconsciously! You can't be sure, right? I'm still thinking about waiting..."

'Ding! '

'The host confirms the submission, achievement task: the first set of short programs, and the settlement begins.Expected to be—'

"C'mon, crap, crap! You're so hard to guard against? How can you take the opportunity to ask other people just after finishing their short program and their thoughts are still stuck in the program! What is the difference between your approach and the police's fishing law enforcement? ? They are all deliberately luring others to jump into the fire pit!"

Ignoring the fact that he was still panting after finishing the show, An Yi cursed in his heart, and sadly found that he was once again tricked by the system.

Such a cruel reality made him even lazy to pay attention to the prompt information behind the system.He directly opened his mouth and sprayed a series of venom, wanting to help the system become a Buddha and ascend to heaven, but in the end, because of his lack of physical strength, he decided to release this ghost again this time.

In fact, it is right to think about it.

How could he compare a living person with a mechanical system?

Except when necessary, this bastard almost never responded to his boring harassment.

Competing with him will not yield anything other than grievance, anger, and gnashing of teeth.Uh... Of course, if these things can be counted as gains.

With a groan in his heart, he rested his hands on his knees and calmed down for a while to breathe.

When An Yi straightened up and looked behind the protective wall on the sidelines, he naturally met his father and You Rongyan's eyes, and saw the tearful figure of his mother, jumping up and down and shouting, waving to him to let him pass.

In addition to these, there are also those members of the national team who are equally excited.At this moment, the eyes looking at him are no longer like this afternoon or night, simply treating him as a child.

The hot and urgent gaze is just like the ecstasy of the peasants when the rain comes after a long drought, and the excitement of the gold diggers when they find gold.I believe that if his father and the uncle surnamed Hu were not there, the other three national team staff, two men and one woman, would have already rushed forward and surrounded him.

"Joyce, Joyce..."

"Uh, what's with that expression? Could it be that he's not satisfied with the way he slid just now?"

An Yi, who was skating out and heading towards the edge of the ice rink, moved his gaze, and found the head coach with a stinky face on the right side of the crowd, even though he gave him a thumbs up.

He didn't quite understand. He skating to the entrance and exit of the ice rink, he was considering whether to ask the reason, his body sank, and his good friends Johnny Wasenberg and Cindy Celaya had already picked up on him.

Once this situation and this scene came out, he didn't have time to think about other things, he could only deal with this and that, and then came the adult condolence group headed by his parents.

Hey, dad, can you restrain yourself and control your exaggerated smile that is about to reach your ears?And you, mom, your son just skated a set of men's singles short program. Compared with your previous achievements, you can't get on the stage at all.So can you please put away your tears first, don't cry and laugh at the same time, you are quite calm when you don't see Uncle Hu behind you?

Whether it was the past life or the present life, it was the first time for An Yi to experience such a high standard of treatment.

Therefore, it was inevitable that he was at a loss when dealing with it, but he didn't want to hit the wrong side and make everyone who saw this scene laugh secretly. No matter how outstanding and mature he was on the ice rink and in private, he was still a child who hadn't grown up.

For him, this might be an unexpected surprise?Invisibly, he avoided many troubles that he should have encountered.At least after this scene, no one will be suspicious and want to investigate because of his sometimes overly mature behavior.

Even if someone really does this in the future, under the influence of what happened today, his relatives and friends will only sigh, ah, our children are so mature and unique, there is no other reason at all.

After 25 minutes, An Yi finally got relief, escaped from the congratulations of everyone, and was brought to the rest area by Joyce.

What's left?

Naturally, it has nothing to do with him, and he is not yet an adult, how can he be his own master?

With his father An Zexian and his mother Joanna Watts representing him, no matter what the representatives of the national team want, he doesn't need to worry about it, does he?Just wait for the final notice with peace of mind. With his father's personality and his mother's principle of caring for his son, how could he suffer a disadvantage.

Thinking about these things, An Yi didn't let his mind idle for too long, and quickly let go of the matter of whether he could join the Chinese national team, because another thing that was happening in front of him required him to raise his spirits even more. concentrate.

Didn't he still wonder why the head coach James Joyce had a stinking face after he finished the short program perfectly?

Don't worry anymore, the answer has already come out.

"...Boy, are you very excited and proud?"

Without mercy, the opening words were so sharp that this was the first question Joyce posed after he brought two men and a woman, three disciples, to the rest area of ​​the ice rink and sat down.

"Looking at your expression, are you wondering why I am so angry after you finished the show well? Pay attention to your little tricks Johnny, I believe even you don't know what is wrong with Louis!"

His eyes were like knives, slashing across the faces of the two boys. James Joyce watched their innocence and still didn't know what was wrong with him, and sighed helplessly.Decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity, when this problem just surfaced, it will be the next ruthless medicine, and it will be completely killed in the cradle.It's better than developing step by step in the last step, turning into the situation he was worried about before.

Seriously, how many students are there in the world who are so talented as the two disciples in front of him?Since they met each other for various reasons, accidents should not lead to injuries, and injuries should not lead to regrets.In the end, they forced their master and apprentice to make the choice that they least wanted to face in their hearts at certain moments.

"Louis, Johnny, I will only say what I said today. Cindy, although this matter has little to do with you, I still hope you can remember it."

Speaking earnestly, James Joyce paused for a moment on the faces of the three disciples in turn.It was found that they cheered up, nodded in agreement, their eyes darkened, obviously as if they remembered something from the past, and there was a trace of embarrassment in their voices.

"Children, I used to be an athlete. Of course, I can understand your thoughts in life, training, and even outside of training. I can also understand your competitive spirit of not admitting defeat at your age, and your determination to chase victory. I can understand your ambition to bet everything you want to achieve in this sport."

He took a deep breath, emphasizing his tone.

"But please believe me! Athletes who can successfully stand on the field and smile proudly for a long time are not brave people who are good at fighting and facing all difficulties. They are those who can fully recognize their own advantages, know how to make choices, and know how to do what they can. , A wise man who knows how to adapt to changing circumstances, fights hard when it is time to fight, and avoids risks when it is time to avoid risks."

Having said that, his voice paused for a moment, and he stretched out his fingers and pointed at the two boys respectively, his disapproving eyes mainly focused on An Yi and continued.

"I don't say this to teach you to be lazy and take advantage of tricks, but I hope you understand your own advantages and advantages, and don't do it blindly for the sake of technical difficulty. Is the quadruple jump difficult? Someone completed it in [-]. After so many years, this Why has the number of quadruple jumps in sports competitions not increased significantly?"

"Because of the technical difficulty of this movement! Because this movement is not the most critical factor for a competitive victory! Because after this movement takes off, whether it is successfully completed or ultimately fails, the athlete's ankle and knee joints will be affected when the ice falls. Will withstand the impact of more than five times the body weight! What does this mean, do you know?"

The voice suddenly rose and became more severe. The unquestionable tone in his tone instantly turned into substance, and he blasted at An Yi who was stunned in his seat after hearing his words.

"It means many times of practice. Jumping during the competition will not only greatly increase the chance of injury, but also consume a lot of physical energy. It is indeed remarkable to successfully complete two quadruple jumps in a short program, but! It’s not that you’re the only one who can do this, but it’s pointless to do so!”

"Do you understand Louis? Am I clear enough? There's no point in doing this! There's no point!"

……

The author has something to say:

The controversy over the difficulty of the quadruple jump in the 6.0s is a big climax, so those who like high difficulty, don't worry. (Although that story line is two or three years later)

In other words, the past was indeed an era when artistic expression determined the outcome.What is the basic score of each technical action, except for the referee, it is impossible for the audience to know.The final champion may not necessarily be the one with the highest technical difficulty, but it must be the one with the highest artistic performance score.
