legend on ice

"here we go!"

"Beijing time, China,? September 2022, 9 at 10 o'clock in the evening, the secret training session to help Hikaru Matsumoto—a player with firm belief will come."

"Mr. Machida, at present, it seems that Wang Yizheng also started from warm-up preparations. What kind of special instruction do you guess? That made Matsumoto Hikari so confident? I believe that figure skating fans all over the world want to know Could this answer be the result of Wang Yiyi’s professional athlete career, combined with coach Li Qin’s training methods, summed up, brand new, and allowed him to skip the accumulated results of teaching experience?”

On NHK's first interview day, after finishing the daily and recent filming during the day, a new stage begins at seven o'clock in the evening.

In the No. [-] training ground, the ice pouring truck drove out of the ice rink, Matsumoto Hikaru and Wang Yi in black training uniforms entered the field, and Atsushi Sakurai checked the light and equipment radio in the open area on the south side of the baffle wall Sit down,? Follow Wang Yi's request for Matsumoto Hikaru to warm up, and ask questions to Machida Kazuhiro, who is in charge of professional technical explanations.

Beside him, Machida Kazuhiro, who had praised the club's training environment several times after interviewing all day long, did not speak out immediately.

His eyes followed the figure of the junior gliding around the field, recalling the past glory of the old opponent in the field, trying to think in another way, guessing that he made Matsumoto Hikaru-believe in him.

A former professional figure skater, he also considered becoming a coach before switching to commentator.

But after weighing for a long time and listing the advantages and disadvantages, it is very wise to give up this path.

What about Wang Yi?

He believed that he must have hesitated, and what helped him build up his confidence in the end, and promised Matsumoto to become his coach?

On this issue, he wanted to know the mental journey of the absolute emperor more than the junior who was skating on the field.He was sure that there must be many secrets hidden in it.

"...Ah, the warm-up seems to be coming to an end. So far, I also don't see what kind of help Wang Yizhen can bring to Guang-jun."

Six to seven minutes passed, and Wang Yi called Matsumoto Hikari to his side.

Machida and Hiroshi hurriedly collected their minds and summarized the warm-up process just now.

"However, as I said in previous interviews, I am optimistic about the cooperation between the two on the court. After all, Wang Yizhen is the strongest men's singles athlete who has dominated the figure skating world for many years! His understanding of this project, As well as the perception of one's own strength, there is definitely no need for unrelated personnel to worry about it."

From outside the ice rink to inside the ice rink, the camera locked on the two people inside the rink. Machida, Hiroshi and Atsushi Sakurai chatted more and more enthusiastically, as if they were in the commentary area of ​​the stadium.

After Wang Yi called Matsumoto Hikaru to his face, he informed his disciples that, considering that there are only three and a half months left before the All Japan Figure Skating Championships, from today onwards, the ice practice time every night will be divided into program training. Intensive training of technical movements, carried out alternately.

The reason for this decision was not only that he had thoroughly grasped the basics of Matsumoto after several months of training, but also because he really couldn't see the young man's opportunism and decided to continue skating the old program this season.

The free skating "Romeo and Juliet" may be considered a classic, and it may be quite exciting, but the short program "焔の火" is not.

At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the reason why this program set the highest score in the short program of his career was all because of the blessing of the Olympic Games.If there is no such favorable factor, just because he is a little dry and does not give the program more connotation, the content score of this short program, which is not bad, will definitely not exceed 45.

In his opinion, although this piece of music is composed of monotonous drumbeats, there are still many program images that can be expressed.

For example, the strong and swaying flames in the night wind, the jubilant and dancing flames on the top of the raging bonfire, the fireworks that light up the night sky in the midsummer riverside fireworks festival, and the spiritual aura of athletes when they are determined to do everything they can to fight to the end.

"Do you understand, Hikari-kun? I watched your performance in the Olympics repeatedly, and my biggest impression was monotony. Although "焔の火" itself is simple, your performance must not be boring."

First, after talking about the training arrangement, and then talking about the concept and understanding of the program, Wang Yi raised his hand and patted Matsumoto on the shoulder for emphasis. .

"I've been skating this show recently, you've watched it a lot, tell me how you feel."

"Do you think it is simple? Or is it dry? You have to remember that if the music of the show is not so ear-catching, the athletes must use the infectious power to endow the show with a deeper spiritual core, so as to infect the audience and referees, and stimulate the skating state to score high. .”

"..."

The voice fell, and the shoulders - heavy.Matsumoto Hikaru—in sight, Wang Yi patted him on the shoulder again and took back his hand. Matsumoto Hikaru—what Wang Yi said just now echoed in his mind, admitting that he was limited by the level of the original program arranger. The shows are not great.

This is also the main reason why he decided to switch this season's free skating back to "Romeo and Juliet". He knows the show well.

Even, a few months ago, if he was not afraid that using the old program to participate in the Winter Olympics would affect the referee's impression points, he would have wanted to replace these two too ordinary programs.

Coming to this season, although he has no similar worries, since the people in front of him are capable of helping him make up for his regrets, why not go further, he certainly believes in the appreciation of top figure skaters.

When he talked to Bai Xuning about their common goals, he had heard more than once that this person had choreographed several performance skates by himself.

Although he has never verified it, even if he is a competitor, Bai Xuning has no need to lie about this matter.

"Please guide me, please!"

"Well, of course."

Withdraw your palm and wait for a moment.

Matsumoto Hikaru made a decision, Wang Yi nodded and smiled, and there was a feeling in his eyes that he was full of confidence and you would never be disappointed.

As for the source of this confidence...

Well ~

Watching so many classic shows in my previous life was not for nothing.

It is impossible to copy completely, but it is inevitable to guide the direction and provide him with countless inspirations.When he was an athlete, the performance skates he arranged for himself were born in this way.

After the exchange, signal to Matsumoto Hikaru—wait a moment.

Wang Yi skated to the north side of the ice rink, and changed the on-site sound source to "焔の火" through the control equipment on the workbench.When I turned around and slid to the original position, I was relieved to see that the young man had already subconsciously followed the music and made small gestures to his revised short program.

Think about it too.

Seeing that he has been skating for several months, even if he can't grasp the details, he probably has no problem mastering it.

If the learning and comprehension ability of the world famous generals is not strong, it is impossible to climb to such a height.He never doubted the little guy's talent in the sport.

Boom!

"This is?!"

"The short program "焔の火" that helped Hikaru Matsumoto win the bronze medal in the men's figure skating event at the Beijing Winter Olympics!! Could it be that the reason for playing this music now is that this program will appear in the rest of the season game?"

The music played, and Hikari Matsumoto danced in the center of the ice rink.

Kazuhiro Machida and Atsushi Sakurai, who were patiently waiting for the progress of the training outside the field, cheered up and quickly exchanged a line of sight. Just as they were about to continue explaining the arrangement characteristics of this old program, their eyes suddenly focused, capturing the different opening of the hero of their country from the past. Posture, the brain's dopamine accelerated and shouted at the same time.

"That's not right! This start-up skating posture and the completely reconstructed upper body dance movements after that! All of them prove that "焔の火" has been redesigned!"

"Matsumoto Hikari--player--four-spin Lutz?! Too fast! How could it be so fast!? Three-spin Axel! Jump-and-swallow spin! Squatting spin without changing positions! Grading step-by-step!! Yaah Ah~~ Matsumoto Hikari—why did the players stop? I haven’t watched enough of the new show! But I have to admit that the content just shown is enough for us and the fans who love Hikari—Jun all over the world to see His growth!!"

The music of the short program continued to play over the ice rink. Hikari Matsumoto interrupted skating and came to Wang Yi to receive guidance. Machida Kazuhiro, who had a better understanding of technical details and difficulty of movements, lamented and then praised.

"That's right, Mr. Sakurai. Just now, the picture of Matsumoto Hikaru performing the four-turn Lutz is still flashing in my mind! Compared with his previous process of completing this technical movement, he just started from preparations for take-off, to spinning in the air, Falling off the ice and skating out, they have improved too much!"

He said.

"That set of jumps, including the accuracy of the Axel in the subsequent three turns, once reminded me of Wang Yizheng performing the same jump."

"Should I say that he is indeed the world-renowned king standing at the highest point in the field of figure skating men's single skating? Since Matsumoto Hikaru came to China from Japan and officially became his student, he has been able to bring I can't think of any coach who can make such an amazing change except him!"

After Machida and Hiroshi sang the carol, Atsushi Sakurai, who was more excited and emotional than him, took over.

The two golden partners were passionate outside the ice rink. Wang Yi, who was wearing a black T-shirt on his upper body, trousers of the same color and skates on his lower body, was demonstrating his footwork.Skating and stopping, explaining and demonstrating. After two times, I emphasized the main points of the new "焔の火" performance, and brought Matsumoto Hikaru back to the center of the training ground. Witnessed by , Machida and Hiroshi, and NHK cameramen and camera lenses, when the short program music started a new cycle, when the first drum beat was struck, there was a slap, and the palm of the left hand reached the sky and the palm of the right hand touched the ground synchronously, sliding along with the music.

That moment!

The NHK people outside the stadium opened their mouths wide and lost their voices, wishing they could fill the ice rink with cameras.I groaned with happiness in my heart, and lamented that it was a worthwhile trip to China to capture such precious images. At the same time, people who reacted quickly, such as Atsushi Sakurai, Kazuhiro Machida, also fully understood at this moment Why is his ACE so confident.

Personal sparring!

This was once the absolute king of men's singles - one-on-one guidance, hands-on teaching, close-distance immersion, such a method, such a level, is unprecedented.

How could it be possible not to be moved and distrusted by a man who has retired but has just retired and whose technical difficulty must still stand at the top of the men's singles?

Machida Kazuhiro, who used to be a professional athlete, couldn't keep calm about that kind of satisfaction and beauty, even exciting. The more he sat and watched from the sidelines, the more his jealousy exploded.

I wish I could--

I wish I could replace it with my body!
