ice emperor

Speaking of his own judgment and decision, Joyce shrugged his shoulders when the two disciples looked over, saying that all this is just his personal opinion, and it is up to them to believe it or not.But he didn't know that he accidentally foresaw the future in advance again.

As for An Yi, after listening to his head coach's conclusion, on the one hand, he admired him a lot, and on the other hand, he also felt a sense of urgency. The signs of the Goe era have already appeared, and it is likely that it will officially arrive in two or three years.Then there is no doubt that it will not be too far away from the era when the difficulty of men's singles technical movements will explode and the number of quadruple jumps will determine the outcome.

At that time, counting his age, he may be 22 or [-] years old, which is almost the age of retirement. If he wants to continue skating, he must ensure that his reserves in terms of difficulty are still ahead of all athletes.

Think about many famous players in the previous life. They were obviously very talented and their physical condition allowed them to continue skating, but because of their peak period, they gave up further pursuit of difficult movements. As a result, when more and more new generation players emerged, they were affected Limited to physical fitness, training cycle, etc., and finally abandoned by the times due to the difficulty of the program.

Therefore, even if he is still very young and that kind of thing is far away from him, he must remain vigilant to avoid repeating the same mistakes one day.

"There is no problem with jumping around the back and outer point ice, and jumping around the back and inner ring. Although the success rate of jumping around the back and outer ring is not high, at least it is mastered. Next, try to practice and get used to the right side of the body. Inclined body center of gravity, opposite rear inside point ice quadruple, and not only the center of gravity is reversed, but also the outside edge of the left foot is used to exert force to complete the jumping hook quadruple?"

"By the way, there is also Axel's quadruple jump. I don't know when I can jump out, and the jump attribute exceeds [-] points? Well, by that time, since I can already complete quadruple and a half jumps, are five kinds of quintuple jumps also possible?" Can it be realized?"

Combining the experience and memory of the two worlds, An Yi planned the future for himself in his mind, thinking about the divergence of his thinking, becoming more and more joyful.

After a while, when he regained consciousness from his imagination and abandoned all unrealistic thoughts, he made a decision.

That is, like he has practiced, skipped, and initially mastered, but the success rate is not high.When this season is over, he will use all training methods to try to master the prototype of the two new quadruple jumps, the quadruple jump on the backside and the quadruple hook.

Even if he is not sure when and what month it will be [-]% complete, he should start as soon as possible and persevere to challenge his own limit.Save him from skating when he's "old and old" in the future, but he has to lag behind the rest of the team because of the difficulty. From a generation of legendary athletes, he ends up sadly retiring and being forgotten.

After planning and arranging his next season, including the training content for a long time to come, An Yi focused his mind and turned his attention back to the performance skating.

With Cindy Celaya, who won the Grand Prix finals and the runner-up of the women's singles in the youth group, the performance ended and returned to the backcourt.

In the next 30 minutes or so, the four No.2 winners in individual events of the adult group came on stage one after another, bringing a publicity performance to more than 1 spectators, which was very different from the competition program and had its own characteristics.

However, what An Yi couldn't figure out was that, according to common sense, the runner-up of the men's singles in the youth group, his good friend Johnny, and the ice dance champion of the youth group had already skated on the stage, but he still hadn't received a notice to perform.

It made him have to pay attention to this issue, because he was afraid that some unsightly scenes would be caused, and he would not even be able to participate in the performance skating safely.If that's the case, he doesn't know how to complain about this year's troubled and extremely unsatisfactory grand prix finals.

"The next ones to perform are Leah Worthington and Jack Worthington, the winners of the adult ice dance championship in the grand prix finals."

"..."

really.

After An Yi sat in the backcourt and sent off the champions of the youth group, ice dance, pair, and women's singles in turn, he didn't wait for the staff of the Serbia Organizing Committee to let him prepare for the performance.Instead, they watched helplessly as the women's singles champion of the youth group finished their performance and returned, and the couple of the ice dance champions of the adult group picked up and continued to present their performances to the audience.

Immediately afterwards, the double champions of the adult group performed, and the women's single champions of the adult group performed.Finally, when the on-site announcer announced the name of the senior men's singles champion, Victor Nagisa, and his Winter Olympic title, the enthusiasm of the audience reached a climax.

After watching and listening, An Yi's heart thumped, and he understood the viciousness of this arrangement. The people who did this just wanted to use this method to attract the enthusiasm and attention of the audience, so as to cause harm to the athletes who will perform later on. Psychological repression.

He thought that if there were no accidents, Victor Nagisa, who was supposed to be the last to play but came in third from the bottom, would definitely do his best in the performance skating, constantly raising the expectations of the audience in the surrounding stands.

If after watching his wonderful performance, he can affect the next game in a disguised form, the athlete's skating state will be even better.As for, who is the poor guy who played after him?

Now, look at him and Johnny, who is almost finished with the third lollipop, can't you understand?

"...Louis, this Ukrainian is disgusting. Olympic champion? I can't believe this is something an Olympic champion would do."

Kacha Kacha, the muscles on his cheeks were tense, and he bit the sugar ball in his mouth into powder as if venting his anger. Johnny Watsonberg smiled mockingly at Joyce's helpless expression beside him, turned his head to look at An Yi, and turned his eyes to He must have died, said the man in the real-time video sent back from the front field.

"These guys who like to play tricks are disgusting. I want to see what he will do. To attract the attention of the audience and make them forget about you and me? Sorry, his idea is doomed, I will be performing Try your best in the skate, and treat this skate as an Olympic final. Well, even if I fail in the end, Luis and you, and our secret weapon, the men's pair skating."

As he talked, Johnny's words became more and more serious, and An Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it.

But if you think about it carefully, you will feel that what Johnny said makes sense.

Indeed, in terms of eye-catching and exciting, the men's doubles definitely surpassed all previous performances.Ukrainian scheming man Viktor Nagisa's little calculation seems destined to be for nothing.

Just when An Yi and Johnny discovered the conspiracy and prepared to deal with it in the backcourt, Victor Nagisa, who had enjoyed the cheers from the audience on the frontcourt ice, also started his own performance skating.

The slide music comes from the hit movie of the past two years, the theme song "My Heart Will Go On" from "Titanic".

As the music played and the singer sang, combined with the programming above the level of Victor Nagisa, the audience was drawn back to the plot of the movie at once.

Slide to advance and jump to appear.

The first jump, jumping around the back inner knot ring, appeared when the melodious notes of the music were raised. It was successfully completed, and it fell steadily off the ice and slid out, bringing a wave of warm applause.

In the second jump, Axel took three weeks to touch the outside ice for three weeks. The quality of the completion was also very high, and he did not lose his title of Winter Olympic champion.

The third jump is a single jump around the back and outside of the ice.Seeing the quality of the finish, An Yi and Johnny, who were also paying attention to the performance, had to admit that even if they felt uncomfortable, this Ukrainian did have the capital to be proud of.

Based on the two quadruple jumps he currently masters, as long as there are no accidents, he is enough to continue to dominate the ice world for two or three years.Unless it was his physical injury that caused his state to decline.Otherwise, with the current technical level of the senior men's singles, there is no opponent who can pose a threat to him.

"Johnny Wasenberg and Louis Wards, please prepare. After Victor Nagisa finishes his performance, you will each present the final performance to the audience."

One or two minutes passed, and the performance on the front ice surface was halfway through. An Yi and Johnny finally waited for the notice from the performance skating organizer.

They looked at each other with a smile, and exchanged a look that was as expected.

An Yi and Johnny, accompanied by James Joyce and An Zexian, came to the front court together, intending to use unnecessary means when necessary to end the delusion in the heart of the Ukrainian scheming man.

Standing outside the protective wall of the ice rink, I continued to wait for two or three minutes. No matter from which angle I looked at the ice rink, the skating was completed wonderfully.After his exit, Victor Nagisa even returned to the ice again because of the enthusiasm of the audience, and performed a quadruple jump with a back-in loop and a quadruple jump with a back-out point to thank the audience.

Afterwards, he stepped out of the ice rink, put on his skates and officially ended his performance skating, but in an abnormal and puzzling way, he stood near the entrance of the ice rink, one or two meters away from An Yi and Johnny. Did not return to the backcourt.There was an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Louis, I'm going first. When you finish your show skating, uh...you know what I mean."

"Iknowiknow, you don't have to say the same thing over and over again. Go and come back, good luck, man."

Glancing at the Ukrainian not far away, unable to understand what was going on in his heart, An Yi simply stopped thinking about it, lightly bumped fists with Johnny who was about to play, and watched him follow the announcer's voice, As expected, the audience stood on the ice with not-so-warm applause.

More than ten seconds passed, and as Johnny finished his preparations, he made a start skating posture.The skating music from a classic movie "The Godfather" sounded, and Johnny started his own performance skating.

Standing outside the protective wall of the ice rink, An Yi watched him gallop on the ice, smiled flamboyantly, simply enjoying the fun of figure skating, relaxed in his heart, and sincerely hoped that his friend could maintain this mentality and never change.

At the same time, I also hope that the friendship between them will last forever, and there will be no further twists and turns due to external influences in the future.

While praying, Johnny's first jump came.

Back and outside point icing quadruple jump, catch, back and outside point icing triple axel, catch, back and outside ring jump twice.

As for the finished quality, after seeing it, An Yi can only say that it can continue to improve.

For example, the height of the double-jump in the rear outer loop is not as high as in the free skating, which shows that his performance in this movement is still a bit unstable.

After the jump, the music continued. The high-spirited and energetic teenager was soaked in black, and his powerful gliding body movements matched the background melody, which aroused the emotions of the audience bit by bit.

next moment!

An Yi saw his friend skating on the ice, with his skates on the ice, twisting his waist and turning his body to take off. He didn't know whether it was an illusion or dazzled, as if he saw his face suddenly changed in an instant.

His heart couldn't help but he watched his friend fly into the air and rotate his body.One week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, the ice blade on his right foot fell off the ice, but his right foot and leg seemed to be unable to support the weight of his body, and suddenly lost control, causing him to fall directly on the ice!And made him wait for more than ten seconds, but he didn't see this person stand up from the ice!

"Johnny!"

The accident happened too quickly. Whether it was Joyce or An Yi, seeing the boy lying on the ice without moving for such a long time, they suddenly realized that something was wrong.

At this moment, when more than 1 spectators couldn't help but start talking, Johnny, who fell on the ice, finally moved.Looking at him, Joyce and An Yi, who turned over and stood up, just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.The next second, when their eyes fell on the strange posture of Johnny standing on the ice with his left foot on the ice, and the knife teeth of his right foot on the ice, as if he couldn't use his strength and couldn't walk, they tightened again.

Which body part is the most important for a figure skater?There is undoubtedly only one answer, feet!foot!foot!

No matter how good your conditions are in other places, no matter how high your athletic talent is, if there is a problem in any small place here, it will greatly affect your future and destiny in this sport.

It can be said that if there is a problem in this key part, it is okay to treat it well.If it cannot be cured, or if there are sequelae, it will greatly advance the retirement age of an athlete.

"...Oh, what a pity, it looks like your friend has a problem with his right Achilles tendon. Haven't you noticed? His right foot can't retract, can't control it?"

Just as An Yi was very anxious, praying desperately to God and worshiping Buddha in his heart, hoping that his friend would be healthy, Victor Nagisa, who had completed the performance in front of Johnny but did not leave, came with that hateful smile on his lips An Yi's side.

"I think you must be wondering, why am I so sure? The reason is very simple. Two years ago, one of my teammates also suffered from this kind of injury. Guess what happened to him in the end? The answer is—"

"Retire early."

"fuck you!!"

Retire early!

Retire early!

carry!forward!retreat!service!

The Ukrainian's assertion was the answer An Yi didn't want to hear the last time. He looked at the disgusting guy in front of him with a malicious smile on the corner of his mouth. When he opened his mouth and spit out the result that he absolutely didn't want to face, his head buzzed , an evil fire rose in his chest, all the anger that had been forcibly suppressed in the recent period revived.

Controlling him to let out a roar, he swung his arm and punched the face of the culprit who had no competitive spirit and caused all these evil results in disguise.

Let him carry the screams and exclamations of the audience, and fly backward one or two meters away.He bumped his head against the metal frame on the outside of the protective wall, bleeding all over his face.
