legend on ice

He slapped Bai Xuning on the back, and went back to his room to get his luggage.After Li Qin, Liu Yan and others finished the meeting, at nearly 12:30 noon, Wang Yi and his team came to the entrance of the Jiangling Ice Stadium to pass the security check, sign in, and followed the staff to the backcourt to start warm-up exercises before the game.

According to the competition process, the last group of six participating athletes will debut at around 45:[-] pm.So Wang Yi was not in a hurry, took off his sportswear jacket, put on headphones, turned on IMusic to listen to music, took a leisurely walk in the preparation area, saw a lot of acquaintances along the way, both nodded tacitly, and did not disturb each other .

When walking to the west side of the venue, the ice pouring on the field ended, and the third set of matches started. Wang Yi returned to Li Qin 15 minutes later and began to stretch his body with his help.

Although the expression on his face was very calm, the desire to win in his heart became more and more intense,? He kept telling himself to wait and be patient.

Opponents,?Competitions,?Today,?Tomorrow,?Short program, free skating,?Competitions will start and end soon.

And he, Wang Yi.

will be the one who wins.

"..."

Encourage yourself silently, secretly calm your emotions.

After Wang Yi stretched his muscles and joints, he started ground training.Jumping rope, running back and forth, and trying various triple jumps on flat ground, looking for the feeling of performing technical movements.

Not far away, the backcourt cameraman of the ISU International Skating Federation kept the camera lens locked on him, motionless.Photographed his training process, recorded him through the real-time screen in the backcourt, and watched the details of other athletes' games.It proves that he is really looking forward to the performance of Japanese newcomer Koichi Matsumoto, as some figure skating fans said, and he has a good relationship with him in private.

Oh, oh, and of course Bai Xuning.

The duel between him and Matsumoto Koichi is also a highlight of the men's singles skating competition in this Olympic Games.

Although it is a pity that Matsumoto Koichi was not able to squeeze into the last group of the short program because of points, but it doesn't matter.Tomorrow's free skating decisive battle just ushered in a big climax!

Matsumoto Koichi VS Bai Xuning.Wang Yi VS Ivan Beria VS Derek Anderson, just thinking about it makes people excited.

Oh, damn it.

Why wait another day!

"The?next?skater, Koichi? MATSUMOTO."

"Representing? Japan."

"MATSUMOTO-san~~"

"Mr. Guangyi!"

"Damn it!!"

Hush huh huh.

"Finally! At 35:[-], Matsumoto Koichi, who shoulders the expectations of millions of people, stood on the field. I hope he can show his strength and wash away the regrets caused by Sato Seiichi's mistakes."

As time passed, the six contestants in the third group completed the short program, and the six contestants in the fourth group entered the stage in turn.

The Japanese super rookie Koichi Matsumoto, who was the last to appear in this group, entered the field to prepare, and the front camera lens transmitted his figure to the whole world.In the four stands, 1 live audiences, half of them cheered for him. Wang Yi and Bai Xuning stopped what they were doing in the backcourt and moved their eyes to the real-time screen. In the broadcast comment area, two commenters from Japan's NHK Members, began to introduce the current situation to the domestic audience.

"Before Koichi Matsumoto, Seiichi Sato completed his short program competition. With a technical score of 44.05, a program content score of 39.46 and a total score of 83.51, he is temporarily ranked fourth in the short program. Falling out of tomorrow's free skating The last group has become a fact, and it also makes people look forward to Matsumoto Koichi's next performance."

"Yes, as Sakurai-kun said, Koichi Matsumoto shoulders the expectations and stands on the Winter Olympics for the first time today, but it's not for skating alone."

After taking over the topic of the partner, the female commentator commented emotionally.

"I believe that his idol, the Chinese player Wang Yiyi, who is preparing for the competition, must also be waiting for the performance of Matsumoto Koichi at this moment. So, burn, Matsumoto Koichi! The time to prove yourself has come! The next two Minutes and 50 seconds belong only to you! May you turn into a black swan of desire and soar over the Jiangling Ice Stadium!"

The entrance and exit of the ice rink opened and stepped onto the ice. Accompanied by the announcer's voice and warm applause from the stands, Koichi Matsumoto bid farewell to coach Michiko Watanabe and slid to a stop above the emblem of this Winter Olympics.

The final 30-second countdown is about to reset to zero.

Wearing a black performance suit, the feather clusters on the collar and cuffs fluctuated slightly with his breathing.As soon as Matsumoto Hikari raised his arms and palms, hugged his shoulders tightly, closed his eyes and lowered his head, he wondered silently whether that person was looking at him now.

In the next breath, "Black Swan" and "Nina's Dream" sounded.

He quickly raised his head, opened his eyes and imprinted a very aggressive look into the camera lens of his expression.

The arms exert strength, and the two arms are spread out with a swipe. The ice skates are ground under the feet, swishing three times to the right side of the ice rink, turning and jumping, squatting and landing on the ice to start performing the rotation.

The resolute expression on his face, the strong emotion in his eyes, and the interesting arc of the corners of his mouth fully showed his state and mood at this time.

Pursue, be greedy, you must get it, no one can take it away!

Strange and persistent coexist.

This is his "Black Swan".

chapped.

The sound of the ice blade breaking through the ice was so clear that Wang Yi could understand the emotions Koichi Matsumoto was expressing even though he was listening to the music of his show with headphones on.

On the ice rink, the black-haired boy who turned into a black swan began to perform the swallow spin after finishing the squat spin.In the opening second of the short program, she slid from the right side to the left side of the field, stepping on a significantly improved and more complicated grading sequence, advancing the short program to the second half.

Wang Yi saw his performance and subconsciously nodded in approval. Bai Xuning, who was watching the game beside him, did not forget to pay attention to him. After noticing this scene, his eyes narrowed and his cheeks tightened. After turning his attention back to his mortal enemy, not only did he not curse He misses and falls, expecting him to skate better.

The reason is simple.

He has no interest in defeating weak chickens!

He just wants to defeat the strongest opponent to prove that he is stronger than the opponent!

Although he dare not say how much he understands Wang Yi, the idol brother and the object of his crush, he dares to pat his chest to assure one thing.

He will only pay some attention to opponents who have potential and are worth looking forward to.

"Oh————"

In the backcourt and the frontcourt, Bai Xuning's mind was spinning a thousand times, and the audience watched Matsumoto Hikari jump up and down.

Determined to challenge himself, he must make it to the last group of free skating. Matsumoto Koichi, who competed with Wang Yi, went all out.Using the jump entry method taught by Wang Yi during the All Japan Championships, he performed the first technical action in the second half of the short program, a quadruped hook.

The take-off process was very smooth, and there were no problems with the attitude in the air and the number of rotations.

It wasn't until he lowered his height and the rear outer edge of his right foot fell on the ice and slid out that his body suddenly shook the ice blade, and his left hand held the ice to stabilize his balance.

For this mistake, Matsumoto Koichi himself was very calm and continued to slide without delay.In the previous three competitions, the spectators who had seen too many mistakes were very dissatisfied. They were very depressed and began to think that so many players made mistakes during the competition. Could it be that there is something wrong with the ice surface today?

Otherwise, the twelve players in the first two groups fell, and it could be explained by their lack of skill.It doesn't make sense that the athletes in the third and fourth groups are still like this.

Many of them are top athletes in various countries, and there is no reason why they cannot submit a zero-error answer sheet.

"Quadruple Salchow!"

"Stop! Although the landing on the ice is still not stable, this time Matsumoto Koichi controlled the balance of sliding out, and connected to the triple axel that had not been performed before!"

The game entered the countdown, and Matsumoto Koichi's short program was about to end.

In the comment section of the broadcast, the two NHK commentators who were unavoidably worried after the hook jump clenched their fists, unable to control their emotions at all, raised their voices and looked forward to the follow-up performance of their national fighters.

"Axel triple axel!! Made it! Matsumoto Koichi withstood the pressure and completed his short program very well."

"Although there was a one-handed support on the ice and an unstable landing on the ice in the whole program, which affected the score of technical action execution, but he deserves everyone's applause. Compared with the 25 players who have played before, he proved with his own strength , he is enough to take on more responsibilities!"

"Koichi MATSUMOTO."

"From? Japan."

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!"

Two minutes and 50 seconds passed, and after returning to the center of the ice rink to perform the last rotation, Matsumoto Koichi lowered the floating leg that was pulled over the head from behind.He closed his eyes and raised his head, straightened his body, opened his arms, and embraced the applause from the stands around him, his expression remained unchanged, and his heart was full of regret.

Because of the ice problem on the field, his performance in the short program today was not perfect. In the Chinese words he had learned, it was more than enough, but more than enough.

The self-confidence that she had to break into the last group of the free skating [-]% before is no longer there.He also increasingly hates this kind of development where his own strength is insufficient and the leadership of the event is handed over to others.

"...I didn't expect this kid to make a mistake too. Brother, do you think the quality of the ice surface today is not so good?"

"Maybe, we'll have to wait for the specific situation."

Through the real-time screen of the front field, I watched Matsumoto Koichi walk into the waiting area and sit down.

Wang Yi took off his earphones, took out his mobile phone and handed it to Li Qin who was not far away. He nodded to Liu Yan who was keeping the competition clothes, indicating that it was time to go to the locker room to arm himself.

At the same time, in the front field of the Jiangling Ice Stadium, the on-site announcer issued a point reminder, and 1 spectators applauded and held their breath, waiting for the score of the last athlete in the fourth group of the short program.

It's not because they all love him, but because after him, the ice truck will come in to repair the ice surface, and in about 10 minutes at most, the three kings who are followed by hundreds of millions of figure skating fans all over the world will appear on the stage.

Ahhh, no, I can hardly bear it just thinking about it.

Compared with them, no matter how good newcomers like Matsumoto Koichi are, their expectations are still far behind.

"SHORT? program? please."

Hush huh huh.

"The Japanese player, Koichi Matsumoto, scored in the short program."

"Technical score: 52.04, program content score: 42.51, short program total score: 94.55, Rank: 1."

"wow."
