"Xingsuke-kun, may I ask..."

This season's ISU International Skating Union Grand Prix Finals was held, and in the room of the post-match press conference, a group of reporters from Japan were tirelessly 'sieging' Shimada Kosuke, who won the runner-up behind the long table.In the corridor outside the room, An Zexian, who was irritated by the scoring referee and decided to make a big news, started his own actions.

Cross-cross-cross, he left a group of figure skating team members and went straight to the door of the conference room, unable to enter because of the number of people, gathered together to chat and wait for the group of reporters who were colleagues.

When someone noticed him and recognized his identity, he grinned and offered to be interviewed. He didn't even give the reporters any time to hesitate, and began to break the news with a mouthful of English trained by Joanna.

At the beginning, the reporters represented by NHK, Asahi Shimbun, CBC, NBC, and CCTV[-] hadn’t started to work immediately. Who would have thought that An Zexian would open his mouth to talk about the retirement age of the athletes first, and then talk about injuries and the sport of figure skating? Over the years, he discovered the understanding of the trend, and then the topic changed and a bomb was thrown, which instantly turned the reporters on their backs.

Excuseme, what did he just say?

An Yi, what did Louis Woz's father say just now, could they have misheard? !

If not, it was a stroke of luck that they didn't make it to the post-match press conference.

"AN! Are you serious? Lewis's journey for this season has ended early, and he will not participate in any competitions in the next few seasons, until the year of the Vancouver Winter Olympics in [-]?"

"This is crazy! Did Luis know about your decision? We are curious about the reasons why you made this decision. According to the information we have learned, Luis has always been healthy and there is no risk of injury."

He raised his voice, and another press conference began. The reporter who launched the offensive first came from Canada. An Zexian, who heard his question, glanced at the man with short brown hair and a big beard. Surrounding him in front of him, holding a voice recorder, a shorthand notebook, turning on the video camera, the camera, starting to shoot, and finally entering the working state, the reporters nodded calmly and answered affirmatively.

"Yes, Louis knows about this, this is the result of our mutual agreement. As for the reason... Ha~"

Having said that, he rolled his eyelids, shrugged his shoulders, let out a sneer and continued.

"I believe that everyone who knows Luiz's technical strength knows very well what he has encountered in recent seasons."

"He never complained. He always tried to get used to and endured. As his coach and his father, I also forced myself to accept it until I learned some details of today's free skating."

Click, click, click.

The sound of the camera shutters was continuous. An Zexian paused when he said this, and turned his body to face not far away. Everyone in the Chinese figure skating team and Joyce, who were stunned by what he had done, raised their hands to ask He looked at the notebook he had seen before, held it in front of the camera, and explained further.

"Did you see, this is the specific sub-score we calculated based on Louis's free skating score after the game. Take a look here, may I ask everyone, based on your understanding of Louis' technical level, would you not Shocked?"

"Louis once said to me that he is an athlete, and he is willing to accept the behavior of the referee to balance the score and make the game more enjoyable, but I believe he must not accept some people's malicious insults. Yes! It’s an insult! Is it possible to put three steps in succession and three combined rotations on Louis? The audience and the audience in front of the TV are not blind!”

Click, click, click—

The sound of the camera shutter was even louder. After hearing An Zexian's complaint, the reporters present couldn't help turning their attention to the "evidence" he presented. Afterwards, they all shook their heads and sighed, expressing their incomprehension. It was hard to believe that this table, which was detailed to two decimal places, was the referee's evaluation of An Yi's hard work.

More concrete feeling?

Be honest.

On this report card, if the GOE execution scores of the thirteen technical movements from a few tenths to one point can be tolerated, the two movements rated as level three are really unbearable.

It's no wonder that the man in front of him said words like 'insulting'. It's just that the referees didn't feel any trace of what they did. They should appreciate and respect the athletes who are in the decisive leadership position in this event.

"Then Coach An, have you ever thought about appealing against this injustice? The result this time may just be a misjudgment."

"We all know what An Yi means to figure skating men's singles. It is not modest to say that he dominates this project and greatly promotes and promotes the development of this sport around the world. I believe the ISU officials are also very clear This should give An Yi a fair judgment after the complaint is submitted."

"..."

After the Canadian reporter asked questions, reporters from CCTV[-], NHK and other TV stations and print news media also expressed their views on this matter and raised their own questions. An Zexian responded freely while listening and speaking.

At 45:[-], seeing that the enthusiasm of interviewing reporters had dissipated, he reckoned that the press conference held in the conference room would end soon.

With a cold snort in his heart, he suddenly raised his hand to attract the attention of the reporters again, took a deep breath, looked directly at the NHK cameraman who was carrying the camera and opened his mouth again.

Open the bow without turning back the arrow.

he thinks.

Anyway, the text messages sent to my old man and Hu Zhenbang have been overwhelmed.

Besides, it is indeed time to plan the future for the children and prepare for the next few decades of life.

Although he has prepared everything financially, the brat can live comfortably even if he doesn't do anything after retiring.But as a man, you have to do something serious and pursue something, not only for money, but also for that sense of fulfillment and satisfaction.

"One last thing."

Thought lightning raised a finger, An Zexian announced in a deep voice under the close-up of the camera lens.

"As I said earlier, after this grand prix, An Yi will not participate in any competitions until the [-] Vancouver Winter Olympics. To be more precise, there are only two competitions left in his career."

He shook one upright finger, followed by another.

"The first game, the Four States Championships in [-], to win the Grand Slam title. The second game, the Winter Olympics in Vancouver, to achieve an unprecedented three consecutive Olympic Games. After that..." He put down his hand, "It's been hard work After more than ten years, he will officially retire and leave the game. His career started in the [-]/[-] season, and by [-] it has been long enough."

boom--! !

After the bomb was followed by an atomic bomb, An Zexian turned his head away after throwing these words, ignoring the group of journalists who were struck by lightning behind him, and formally turned the plan into reality, announcing the relevant information of An Yi's retirement time to the outside world.

Behind him, a dozen reporters were stunned for more than [-] seconds before they suddenly woke up and looked for his traces. After finding his figure, they hesitated and quickly turned into three waves, attacking him, James Joyce respectively. , press conference room, chasing further and more newsworthy truth.

At this moment, who cares so much about the cultivation of quality, the order of the press conference after the game, all new stars, dark horses, and the mood of the game, all have to make way for the news of the absolute emperor's retirement!

Website headlines tonight, sports news headlines tomorrow... NO!It should be said that the news related to figure skating in the next week will all revolve around this news.

This is not an exaggeration.

This incident is definitely enough to crown the title of the most important news in the field of figure skating in the past ten years.

They even thought of the title of the report, and it was called: "The end of an era, the figure skating god who was humiliated by the referee and turned away angrily!" ".

"Shimada, this is CBC, what do you think about this contest—"

boom!

"Louis! This is Jason from the CBC!"

In the meeting room, the reporter from CBC was allowed to ask questions. Just halfway through the question, there was a rush of footsteps from far to near, followed by a loud sound that the door of the meeting room was "slammed open". In the room where the post-match press conference was held, Staff of the competition organizing committee, ISU ISU officials, reporters from various TV stations and sports media, with shocked and puzzled expressions, the few well-dressed reporters who broke in immediately identified their identities, and the next second, they Sitting behind the long table at the post-match press conference, An Yi, who had always served as Shimada Kosuke's foil, asked.

"Louis, just now, your father AN summoned reporters outside the conference room to announce an amazing news. According to him, you will temporarily leave the field after participating in today's game, even if you come back in the [-] Four States Game , after participating in the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games held in the same year, he will officially end his career and bid farewell to his identity as an athlete!"

shouted the reporter who identified himself as Jensen.

"My question is, is this incident true? If so, the second question. Your father also revealed that the root cause of all this is that the ISU referees treated you differently."

"You may not be clear, after calculation, your free skating score, grading step sequence and combined spin are all rated as three grades today. Your father AN used the word insult to describe the judgment made by the scoring referee! "
