A TV is hung on the wall of the warm-up room, which broadcasts the situation on the field in real time. Players can also see the performance of their opponents here, but Jin Zixuan seldom looks there. If the opponent plays too well, it is easy to collapse when it is his turn to play.

However, his match was over, so it was fine to just stand on the sidelines and watch the match, and Huang Ying Guan Lin was the one who followed this side through TV dramas.

Now there are three people left on the field who did not play. They are the first Italian brother McQueen, the Russian first brother Vasily, and the Chinese first brother Zhang Jue.

Huang Ying hissed, showing a toothache expression: "This is a tough battle, Zhang Jue is not easy to fight."

The little girl was sure that all three of them played closed games, especially Vasily, whose momentum today was so strong that many people couldn't be distracted to pay attention to his beautiful face like a caramel rose.

Her poor team leader, since he was promoted to the group, he has fought all tough battles, and he has never seen him take it easy.

Guan Lin looked solemn: "Zhang Jue's goal this time should be to keep the second and win the first, but his T jump is almost useless, and he can't even catch 3T now."

In the free skating, there are two sets of double jumps and one set of triple jumps. Zhang Jue’s triple jumps can be solved with 3A+1lo+3S, but the other two cannot be combined with 3lo. With his current state, 4T jumps No, if you want to get enough technical points, you must take two 4S. According to the rules, one of the same two jumps must be used in the jump.

Can Zhang Jue still do 4S+3lo?Don't be kidding, everyone knows that this is impossible. Zhang Jue has the ability to catch 3lo after the triple quadruple jump, but the quadruple jump is a difficult jump of different dimensions. The impact of the ice fall is enough for many athletes to fall You have to roll all over the ground, not to mention jumping on one foot and doing a blade jump immediately.

Jin Zixuan said in training that he can do 4T+3T, but he can never do 4T+2lo. Although Jin Zixuan himself has a hard time with blade jumping, it also shows some problems.

Guan Lin looked at the screen and asked in his heart, Zhang Jue, how do you break through this predicament?

And his squad leader, as always, waited by the fender with an expression of "this king is eager to try, not nervous at all".

McQueen appeared in the penultimate place. He is the kind of athlete with strong characteristics, but he is not as strong as Zhang Jue and Vasily. His comprehensive ability is very strong, and he has almost no shortcomings. All attributes on the panel are A+.

And this is also his weakness. He doesn't have one attribute to break through A+ to reach a higher level. Like Zhang Jue, his experience and some attributes are not as good as McQueen, but his performance and jumping can reach S at certain moments. That said, McQueen has a limited ceiling.

Considering his age and health, it is too late to break through now. Everyone knows that McQueen's peak period has passed, and he can still maintain the top three levels in the world. the result of.

But so what?McQueen is still a charming player. He is the men's singles player with the most female fans before Zhang Jue was promoted. He is full of charm and is very good at arousing the emotions of the audience. He drives everyone to high with rhythmic music and performances. , watching his show is a kind of enjoyment, and everyone knows that McQueen is very stable, he will never let people down on the court.

When McQueen's score came out, the people holding the French flag in the stands made a sound of disappointment, because McQueen's free skating was not as good as Martin's, but his short program advantage made his total score just 0.8 points more than Martin's. This means that if neither Zhang Jue nor Vasily collapses, Martin will not win a medal in his last World Championships.

It is unrealistic to expect Zhang Jue and Vasily to make mistakes. Since Zhang Jue started the game, he has not returned empty-handed in a game. As long as he plays, he will definitely be on the stage. There were occasional misses in the first and second years, but since then it has been steadily standing at the top.

"Vasenka." Boris called his disciple by his nickname, and found him standing silently, with his head slightly lowered, muttering something in his mouth, as if he was grasping the last moment before going on the field to silently recite his technical composition on the field.

Boris was a little surprised. Since the 09 World Championships, his disciples have not experienced such a state of nervousness with anticipation and full concentration for a long time. In the Vancouver Winter Olympics, Vasily’s nervousness overwhelmed everything, which made him make a mistake Two times, only to get the silver medal in the end, and after Vancouver, Vasily did not allow himself to be nervous before the game.

It may also be because since then, no opponent has given Vasily a sense of oppression that he must do his best.

There is no doubt that the source of Vasily's pressure is the 15-year-old Chinese teenager. Their technical difficulty is similar, and they are all in poor health. During the warm-up, Boris also saw the young player with a bitter face I drank a sports drink with painkiller powder, and finally retched twice because it was too bad to drink.

Thinking of this, Boris showed a proud expression. His Vassenka is better. No matter how bitter the medicine is given to the boy, he can swallow it without changing his face. He even created a kind of durian sauce by himself, and then dipped it Papian swallowed, but unfortunately that diet was too high in calories and was later banned by Boris.

From Vasili's debut, the atmosphere of the audience reached a climax. As long as they are chasing competitive sports these days, there is no one who does not like the scene of strong confrontation.

Vasily and McQueen were originally equal opponents, but after the start of the Vancouver cycle, he gradually left each other behind, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhang Jue began to attack his throne again.

He was very excited about this, and burned an unprecedented fighting spirit.

In the past, Vasily was like an ice sculpture, looking perfect but also too cold for people to approach, but now he looks full of vitality, even with that beauty alive.

His performance is also alive. Zhang Jue realized this while watching the game. Vasily was once known as an athlete whose skills were far superior to his performance. This is an important reason why he was once suppressed by McQueen early in his career. , but now there is a kind of vitality in his performance, which makes him transform to a higher level.

So this time, coach Lu didn't need to fight chicken blood before the game, just watching the opponent's performance, Zhang Jue's soul boiled.

Different from those peers who practiced figure skating since childhood and have always aimed to be professional players, Zhang Jue started on this path because of money at the age of 13. It was not until after heart surgery that he began to face up to his interest in the sport. emotion.

His personality has always been very aggressive, he loves adventure and novelty, he is willing to accept challenges and face up to difficulties, he is a natural competitor, Vasily's strength makes his spine numb, and his breathing becomes heavy , It can be said that not fighting chicken blood is better than fighting chicken blood.

Shen Liu glanced at him, and whispered to Senior Brother Zhang: "Didn't that Angus Joe in North America cause kidney problems due to taking medicine, and then he retired? Our Zhang Jue is different. He doesn't take any medicine. Excited enough."

Zhang Junbao smiled wryly: "His state needs to be stimulated by the opponent to come out."

However, Zhang Jue is indeed innocent. Apart from painkillers, even if he has a cold at other times, he only drinks vitamin C effervescent to carry it by himself. He eats and drinks in the national team cafeteria. The inspections became more frequent, but apart from being a little annoyed, the team was never worried that Zhang Jue would fail the drug test.

When Vasily's show ended, the cheers and applause on the field were so loud that the ears were ringing. Looking at the excitement of the audience, Zhang Jue's teammates were inevitably a little worried about him.

And Zhang Jue himself jumped up on the spot twice, took off his coat, and walked towards the ice rink with his head held high. The moment he passed by Vasily, they looked at each other, their dark eyes and ice blue His eyes met, and his opponent's figure was in his eyes.

Vasily moved his mouth, and Zhang Jue opened his eyes wide in surprise.

His biggest opponent in this game actually said "Come on" to him in Chinese with a jerky accent, Zhang Jue was flattered, showed a big smile to Vasily, and replied friendly: "Your game was very exciting. "

For the first time, the two athletes discovered that not only did they appreciate each other, but the other also appreciated themselves, which made them feel good. Even when they were equalized with Vasily, their expressions were not as cold as usual.

When Zhang Jue was equalizing, he adapted to the field 30 seconds before the game. He beat the muscles of his thigh and buttocks, counting on them to give him some strength, and also hoped that his right calf could help him support each time. Before the jump, he took two sips of the sports drink and took a deep breath.

Coach Lu changed his attitude of wanting to whip the brat during training, and said calmly: "Although I told you beforehand that the free skating will be stable in the short program, but don't really think that you only need to skate well in the free skating. It’s good to be mediocre, and you’ve seen it, those few people who appeared in front of you didn’t have fuel-efficient lamps, if you are careless, you will definitely not be able to make it to the stage.”

Zhang Jue became serious, and the string in his heart tightened: "I understand."

Coach Lu nodded, and at the moment Zhang Jue turned around, he slapped the baffle vigorously, and shouted in a deep voice: "Come on!" The old man was so angry that his dantian was heavy when he shouted, his voice was like an old lion, and the momentum that erupted instantly stood still. Not far away, the fat old coach of Hayato Teraoka was shocked.

Everyone is an old man, why is the aura of that surnamed Lu so terrifying?No wonder the little crocodile is amazingly domineering on the field, and what kind of coach really brings out what kind of students.

Zhang Jue skated to the center of the ice rink. Kausten was still black, but more formal than the previous one. The swallowtail behind him fluttered in the wind, and he wore a necklace with a cross around his neck.

He turned around to look at the referee's seat, raised his left hand, palm facing outward, and made a gesture of control. The next second, the sound of the violin sounded like weeping.

Zhang Jue's expression became gloomy and indifferent, with a determined smile on the corner of his mouth, he turned around, and looked around coldly, with a look of disdain, he didn't look weak at all, and he was determined Think you can overwhelm everyone on the scene.

This is the godfather, he is dark, cold and arrogant yet calm, and he deliberately seeks every victory.

The mature side of Zhang Jue is fully displayed in this program, which also brings his adaptability to music to a whole new level.

After a short skating, he seemed to take off very lightly, and then fell after turning around at high speed in the air. When he landed on the ice, he shook his arms vigorously, with masculine strength.

In the past, Zhang Jue felt neutral and beautiful, but in this season, he continued to transform and break through. By the time of the World Championships, his "Godfather" had become the most masculine show in the audience. Some people said that "The Godfather" "is a man's bible, what should a man do?They should pay attention to their families, spend time with their families, be rational at all times, not be careless, have power, control their own power, be ambitious, courageous, and responsible.

Although some men are far from meeting the standards for men in "The Godfather", Coach Lu recognizes Zhang Jue in his heart. The boy's character, sense of responsibility, courage and brains, his desire for gold medals and aggressiveness make him Becoming an ambitious athlete also makes "The Godfather" the most suitable program for Zhang Jue, who is going from a boy to a man.

After completing the first jump, Zhang Jue made another 3A. His jump distance was so amazing that one of the commentators exclaimed when he saw this jump: "God, he is just for Axel!" I was born by jumping!"

But then Zhang Jue did another terrible thing. He continued to gather strength to take off at the moment 3A fell off the ice, and caught a 3lo.

The appearance of the world's first 3A+3lo completed in the official arena made the arena boil!

Originally, the audience thought that Vasily had done his best, and most of their enthusiasm was consumed in Vasily's show. When Zhang Jue came on stage, the audience felt a little tired, but now Zhang Jue only used Just two jumps to get their spirits up again.

This outstanding teenager has amazing momentum. Even if the music is a grand symphony, he completely suppresses the scene and perfectly matches the music. He continues to jump with the music, 3A single jump, 3lz.

After the four jumps in the first half of the program, he entered the swallow spin, jump squat spin, upright spin, and then step-by-step.

At the beginning of his footwork, he squatted down with both legs, leaned back with his upper body, and slid across the small half of the ice rink with a long-distance crab step.

McQueen whistled when he saw the move: "Amazing core, I'm sure he's doing more than 10 hours of strength training a week."

The strength of this waist and abdomen is simply too terrifying.

A foreigner swallowed his saliva when he saw this scene, turned his head to look at his thin boyfriend, then at Zhang Jue, and sighed inwardly.

"I really want to have a fling with him." Who doesn't like a little brother with a strong waist, great stamina, and a good-looking face.

With the increase in weight, Zhang Jue's jumping brought more sense of power, and his skating was not as erratic as before, and the blade could not be pressed down. Now his blade is deeper and the quality of gliding is improved. Also rose a lot.

At the end of the footwork, Zhang Jue took off again and jumped 3lz+3lo. At this time, the show began to enter the second half. Every jump of Zhang Jue, including this 3lz+1lo, will get the basic points multiplied by 1.1 times bonus.

Vasily looked at Zhang Jue's figure intently. Zhang Jue only used one 4S before, but he would definitely put a second quadruple jump in the show, or even a third one... Vasily knew that it would be very difficult to do this. It's not easy, but Zhang Jue's opponent is himself, so if Zhang Jue doesn't try his best, he will definitely not be able to win.

And Vasily could feel that this young man was surprisingly competitive. It was his first time to participate in the World Championships, but he definitely came for the title of champion.

He murmured: "You have run out of double jumps, do you want to add triple jumps in the second quadruple? You must be hiding something, let me see."

Zhang Jue must still have a big move.

Sure enough, when a certain accent of the music was about to start, Zhang Jue took off with his feet in a figure-eight again and completed a 4S. Just when everyone thought he would jump into 4S+2T+2T for the second quadruple, Zhang Jue was light He took a 1lo, followed by a 3S.

4S+1lo+3S!一个4+1+3的夹心跳。

Already out of breath, Martin, the first French brother, straightened his upper body and was amazed by this jump. He applauded vigorously. It is unbelievable that this Chinese teenager can complete such an excellent and difficult heartbeat in the second half of the free skating.

His younger brother Alex whispered: "He is simply too good."

Some people are born destined to conquer an era, and Zhang Jue is undoubtedly such a genius. He jumped another 3S, and at this time, he was only short of the last jump.

根据滑联规则,同一种跳跃在一个节目里只能出现两次,张珏之前已经完成的跳跃有七组,分别是4S、3A+3lo、3A、3F、3lz+3lo,4S+1lo+3S、3S,大部分跳跃都已经被重复使用了2次,但他连一个3T都没有跳过。

Undoubtedly, Zhang Jue's injury has sealed his ability to touch the ice with his left foot, and he can't even use 3T and 4T. However, he still has 3lz single jumps that he has not skipped, and his last jump will be Is this a jump?But if this is the case, his basic jumping score will be 2 points lower than Vasily's, and Zhang Jue's short program is only 2 points higher than Vasily's.

According to the scoring rules of the figure skating arena, among athletes of the same level, the performance score of the veteran is always higher. If this calculation continues, Zhang Jue will lose.

Will Zhang Jue accept this situation?Is he willing to do so?If he is not reconciled, how will he break the game, and what method will he use to get back the missing basic points?

They quickly saw Zhang Jue's answer.

After completing a set of foot-changing spins, Zhang Jue took a deep breath. At the end of the show, he tapped the ice again with his right foot and took off with his left foot on the outside edge. This was of course a hook jump (lz), but his The timing of the slide, and the determination on his face when he took off, all showed that this jump was unusual.

The boy jumped to an unprecedented height, turned around and landed on the ice. It could be seen that he really wanted to stand still, but in the end he had to support himself on the ice with his hands.

It's a 4lz!

McQueen stood up suddenly: "Has he practiced the third quadruple jump?"

And among the six quadruple jumps, the score is second only to 4A, and the basic score is as high as 12.6 4lz? !

Shen Liu, Zhang Jue's jumping coach, covered his face. Come on, Zhang Jue has passed both developmental and injury tests this year. If he can practice a new quadruple jump at this time, or even master it, isn't that a hell?Even a genius at Ziwei star level must teach basic law!

Zhang Jue's 4lz was not practiced at all, he was only able to forcibly turn the number of weeks in the air with the skill of raising his hand, but the falling ice was always a mess, and the chance of standing still was not even [-]%.

But this is Zhang Jue's tactic. The basic score of 3lz is only 6 points, but the basic score of 4lz is 12.6. As long as the number of weeks is changed, this jump can be judged as valid in the rules, even if he made a big mistake in landing on the ice, The referee wants to deduct 3 GOE points from him, and there are still 9.6 points left. Isn't this 3 points higher than jumping 3lz?

In addition, Zhang Jue's footwork and spin in the free skating were all rated as 4th grade, and his GOE in various techniques was not low. The existence of hand-raising skills made Zhang Jue's jumping GOE much higher than that of his peers.

Calculated in such a scattered way, he insisted on making up for the gap between himself and Vasily, and he turned the situation that was bound to lose into an even match!

Vasily's stable gold medal was suddenly about to be lost. He should have felt uneasy and unhappy, but the boy's jumping, his performance, and the planning he poured into this program all made his heart beat faster. stand up.

Awesome jue, you are an unbelievable player!

He laughed heartily, which startled Coach Boris, and turned around to look at his disciples with crazy eyes.

At this time the music ended, Zhang Jue knelt down on one knee, clenched his fist with one hand, showing a happy expression.

The applause sounded, and the audience stood up one by one, giving Zhang Jue the greatest honor a program can get in the figure skating arena——standing ovation (standing applause).

Zhang Jue saluted all around with a proud expression, picked up a small crocodile doll and put it on his face.

Now, who will win the gold medal in men's singles at this World Championships has become the biggest suspense. After Zhang Jue left the field, put on his coat and knife cover and walked to kiss&cry, the stadium became quieter than ever before.

Who is the men's singles champion?

Is it Zhang Jue, the dark horse youngster who overcame all obstacles and rushed to the present, or Vasily, who broke through the shackles of injuries and returned to the top in this World Championships?

No matter who wins the championship, it is a matter of course. They all showed performances worthy of the championship title. No matter who loses, they have no complaints, because their opponents are strong enough to amaze an era.

Zhang Jue held his breath and looked at the electronic scoreboard, but he was not very nervous.

He has tried his best. Today is either a gold medal or a silver medal. No matter what, he can bring 3 places home. It is good to have a gold medal, but it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have a gold medal. He will come up with better programs with a stronger posture, in short, he is very open-minded.

I don't know how loudly the referees pressed the computer at this time. Anyway, everyone waited for a while before Zhang Jue's score finally appeared on the big screen.

The moment they saw that score, many ice fans let out a cry of disappointment.

Oh! no!

Zhang Jue's score was very high, the highest in his career, but it was 0.3 points lower than Vasily's total score. This small difference made Zhang Jue's first World Championships only end with a silver medal.

Zhang Jue himself felt a little bit disappointed, but he had already made mental preparations. After all, he was betting on the 4lz at the end of the program, but Vasily cleans three programs with a four-week configuration, but he did not. The degree of completion was inferior to that of the opponent, and finally let him pass the gold medal.

Coach Lu glanced at him, with slight worry in his eyes, but the person he was worried about stood up, saluted and waved to the audience in a graceful manner, then turned around and hugged him, an old man, and jumped twice.

Zhang Jue was elated: "Yeah! Coach! I got the silver medal!"

The old man was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack, but Zhang Jue's silly appearance made Coach Lu twitch his lips.

That's right, the silver medal is also good. The 15-year-old apprentice rushed to the second place in the world in the first season of the adult group. Throughout the history of figure skating, he is also an unprecedented genius.

Coach Lu took off his reading glasses, wiped the corners of his eyes, and patted Zhang Jue on the shoulder.

"Congratulations, Xiaoyu, you are going to be on the podium of the World Championships."

Thank you too, Xiaoyu, your first season in the senior group was so difficult, you were growing up, and you suffered a fractured left ankle. You managed to practice two quadruple jumps. When the World Championships start, all you can use is The next one, thank you, despite the difficult situation, still won 3 Winter Olympic places for the motherland.

You are an amazing athlete, win or lose, you keep fighting, you put a smile on your opponent, you are the captain of the national team that all your ice fans are proud of because you will never let them disappointment.

The award ceremony began. Standing on the podium of the silver medalist, Zhang Jue watched his own national flag rise with pious eyes and the Russian national anthem in his ears.

The boy secretly vowed that next year, in the Winter Olympics, the highest flag will be red with the brightest star on it.

He tilted his head and looked at the two seniors who were also standing on the podium: "Vassily and McQueen, I look forward to seeing you again at the Winter Olympics."

McQueen gave him an ok gesture, and Vasili looked down at him, and reached out and rubbed the child's head.

"Isn't that of course?"
