17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎"I'm dancing." Lucy said quietly. ◎

Look, this person also thinks it was sent automatically by the system.

It is strange to say that such an unfamiliar number suddenly sends a weather forecast.

"But Sister Lili said that the system will not automatically send it so short." Lucy said, "It also makes sense."

When they were talking, they were going up the steps side by side. Lu Xi used to look at people's faces when he spoke. Under the cold-colored lighting outside the gymnasium, Deng Chang's nose was high and straight, his jaw line was clear and sharp, and he had a very cold tone. hansome.

When Deng Chang was in his teens, he hadn't fully grown yet, so he could only be described as a handsome boy. No matter how dissatisfied Lu Xi was with his face now, he had to admit that it was indeed pretty.

Deng Chang didn't look at Lu Xi, and replied lightly: "Yes."

Lucy:"……"

I really can't talk today.

Lu Xi apologized to Huang Bin in his heart, saying that Dad, I really tried my best, but he didn't cooperate.

After that, I stopped talking nonsense with Deng Chang, and the two entered the arena one after the other.

-

For Lucy, there is a special atmosphere in the ice rink, once you enter it, it feels different from other places.

It can probably be seen as the lower temperature than the outside, the faint roar of the refrigerator running 24 hours a day, and the very faint smell of rubber in the air, all these elements are mixed together.

This can't be said to be a particularly good atmosphere. People who are not familiar with it will shiver with cold when they come in, and the smell can't be said to be pleasant.

But for Lucy, this feeling mixed with the sense of hearing and smell brought about a sense of familiarity that has almost been woven into the flesh and blood in the past ten years.

As long as he stays here, he will be like a beast returning to its nest, the frizz all over his body will be gathered away, and it will be replaced by complete comfort and coziness.

The evening training is still a half-hour land warm-up first, that is, the dance class of the bear breaking the stick.

The World Figure Skating Championships are going on these days, so coach Chen Qi and the No. [-] coach of the national team, Bao Zhongjie, took their players abroad to compete.

Now the only thing left in the national team is the No. [-] coach, Lin Yingsu. Those players who are not participating in the World Championships are being led by Coach Lin for the time being.

There is a time difference between the training of players in different sports. At this point, they are all training men’s singles. When Lu Xi, Deng Chang, and Zhu Sibai’s "coach Chen Qi three-member team" entered the dance classroom, coach Lin Yingsu was talking to a male player. , the male contestant heard footsteps entering the door, and glanced at them——

Lucy was very sure that the other party rolled his eyes at them, which was not obvious, before turning his face away again.

That was Liu Xinyu, the only men's singles player under coach Bao Zhongjie.

-

Bao Zhongjie is a legendary figure skating coach in every sense. He has won two Olympic medals in pair skating. Among the four events in this world championship, except for Cui Xiao who is in the men's singles under Chen Qi , the two pairs participating in the pair skating, the pair participating in the ice dance, and the women's single sister are all contestants in Bao Zhongjie's group.

Only in men's singles, Bao Zhongjie's strength is relatively weak, and there is only one Liu Xinyu under him.

Liu Xinyu is 22 years old this year. Although he is still at his peak according to his age, his strength is average and his skills cannot be further improved. He has only mastered two quadruple jumps. It should be difficult for him to learn the third. Also average.

In China, Liu Xinyu has been constantly overwhelmed by Cui Xiao, and he has basically never made an appearance in the international arena. He has only been to the Four Continents Competition, which is relatively the lowest in A-level competitions, and his ranking is quite ordinary.

Originally, if Cui Xiao retired, Liu Xinyu would still be able to take the lead, but with Lu Xi and Deng Chang promoted to the senior group, although it is a bit cruel to say so, Liu Xinyu basically will not have the opportunity to compete in the competition.

-

Therefore, Lu Xi had no fluctuations in Liu Xinyu's reaction.

Because even in Crane City, Lu Xi has encountered many such situations.Sudden isolation or sarcastic remarks are commonplace for him and have no effect at all.

He has always been an early bird, so naturally he has always been hated by others. Lucy has already automatically decoded this expression as "he thinks I'm strong".Including this time, he can completely ignore Liu Xinyu's reaction.

but--

He looked at Deng Chang, the captain of the three-person team, who went up to talk to Lin Yingsu and was glared at by Liu Xinyu.

Lucy suddenly shook his head.

Before Lu Xi won the World Youth Championship, Deng Changcai had always been the strongest in the youth group.

Even after winning the World Youth Championship, based on current strength, Deng Chang can do three quadruple jumps. If you ignore the fact that Deng Chang has practiced for a year longer than him, Lu Xi can still admit it with difficulty. The technical difficulty is a little higher than his.

Moreover, Deng Chang has been in the provincial team since he was very young, and he came to the national team a year earlier. He has always been in the place with the most masters and the fiercest competition, but he has almost always been the strongest.

And he seems to have always been the captain, the model, and the "National Youth Star".

Then he should have encountered more hostility than Lucy.

Think and know it must be so.

No wonder he kept a straight face and was upset to see everyone.

-

For pre-training warm-up activities like dance classes, everyone's attitude is more casual.

I didn't think so when I was in the small class. After all, each coach can keep an eye on two or three people. Now there is only one coach left in the entire national team, and the situation suddenly got a little out of control.

Especially those children in the youth group, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, when they talk the most, and they train at night. Children are very strange, and the later they get more excited.

Now Lin Yingsu is like an old hen raising a bunch of chicks, flapping her wings and shouting hoarsely: "Huang Kun! Zhang Xiaohe! Stop talking!"

"Chen Jiacheng! Han Yu! I didn't mention you two, did I!"

"Tell everyone a secret! You can take figure skating lessons without a mouth!"

"Can you learn from Chen's coaching staff! Look at Deng Chang, Luxi and Brother Xiaobai! How quiet!"

Lu Xi and Deng Chang who chose not to speak because they had nothing to say, and Zhu Sibai who kept blushing and made movements in muffled voices because they were embarrassed to talk to their idols: "..."

In the end, Lin Yingsu gave up asking everyone to keep quiet and turned on the background music directly.It doesn't matter what other people say or not, at least they can start dancing.

For the same set of music, the movements of different coaching groups are different. The movements of Lin Yingsu's group are more concise and elegant, the movements of Bao Zhongjie's group are more complicated, and the movements of Chen Qi's group are more elegant. Lin Yingsu watched them dance and walked around the classroom by himself.

Lin Yingsu is a very kind coach. He has a different style from Chen Qi. When passing by his youth group players, he will talk more. When passing by Liu Xinyu, because he is not a player in his own group, he is not familiar with it and afraid to talk too much If the other party is rebellious, he will signal the other party to make their movements more stretched.

When passing by Deng Chang, Lin Yingsu showed an appreciative smile on his face.

When passing by Lucy——

He was silent for a full year, and asked with a complicated expression: "Xiaoxi, what are you doing?"

Lucy:"……"

"I'm dancing." Lu Xi stopped his movements and said quietly.

-

Although Lin Yingsu is not as famous as the coaches Chen Qi and Bao Zhongjie, he is relatively strong in choreography, so seeing Lu Xi's current dancing state, his expression twitches so much that he is almost "violent" four times. Big characters written on the face.

"You..." He stared at Lucy sadly for a while, "Would you like to learn my dance? Are you learning the dance quickly?"

Lu Xi just made weird movements, not because he couldn't remember the movements, he thought for a while and said, "It's okay."

Lin Yingsu nodded: "Then you can learn from it. If you don't work hard on your expressiveness, you will be suppressed when you get promoted to P."

The scoring of a figure skating program is divided into two parts, T points and P points.

T points are technical points, and P points are artistic points. Generally, the ratio of T points and P points in the total score is [-]-[-].

The scoring of technical points is very rigid. The total points of all technical actions performed by the contestants are added together with the addition and subtraction points caused by the degree of completion and technical flaws. The artistic points are more subjective and are sometimes used to increase points or Score tool.

But it is undeniable that if the players are more contagious on the ice and can bring the audience into the story told by music and dance, the players will get very good artistic points. , showing a smile, the P score will never be high.

The P score of the youth group is generally not very high, because the artistic expression of the contestants will improve with the improvement of age and mentality, but the difference in the expressiveness of the adult group will be judged.

Take the classic commonly used soundtrack "Swan Lake" as an example.

The original work tells the story of the princess who was killed by an evil witch and turned into a swan, and then transformed back into a human form with the love and justice of the prince, and finally got married.In the story, there are not only the elegant and lively parts of the four little swans, but also the weeping and even pathetic parts.

It is difficult for a twelve or thirteen-year-old child to understand the poignant and melancholic parts of "Swan Lake", so they can only perform light and lively performances. However, among the adult contestants, if they are more expressive, after more than ten years of hard work Influenced by art, they already have their own perception ability, can interpret joy and sorrow, and they can also immerse themselves in music and dance in the performance, and even some of them with acting talent will integrate the elements of drama, bringing What will come will be a more mature and three-dimensional performance with more twists and turns and richer emotions.

Therefore, in the youth group, Lucy was not a very prominent shortcoming in expressiveness. In the adult group, facing top players with double kings in technical performance in North America, Japan, and Big Goose, it will become his fatal weakness. defect.

This point has been discussed by the coaching staff before Lucy came to the national team. He is bound to face the strengthening of artistic expression. However, the original arrangement is to confirm that Lucy will join the team after the national championship game in April. Strength, how is it compared with Deng Chang, and how is it compared with other people.

But... now Lin Yingsu couldn't take it anymore.

Whose figure skater dances and dances like a bear breaking a stick!

-

Although Lu Xi didn't think Lin Yingsu's suggestion of "learning new dances" was useful, he still learned a new set of dances according to Coach Lin's request.

It really made him notice the difference.

Coach Chen Qi's dance is relatively softer, with many transitional movements of swinging arms, twisting waist, raising legs and turning body. Coach Lin's dance...in a sense, it's a bit like radio gymnastics.

There is less space for individuals to play this kind of action.

Take the arms as an example. Chen Qi’s movements require his arms to have his own artistic sense. For example, Cui Xiao’s movements are gentle and unhurried. Deng Chang’s movements are very youthful and refreshing. Lu Xi...

Lucy won't do it!

The set of movements that Lucy is doing now has much less space for his arms to play, but he happens to be the type that doesn't need free play space at all. His regular movements are not too ugly, and he is even a bit comfortable when he is stuck.

Lin Yingsu's furrowed brows finally relaxed a little after seeing such actions, and said to Lu Xi: "You should do this first for a few days."

Although Lu Xi vaguely felt that he had been dissed, he still nodded obediently: "Okay."

-

After the hellish dance class, I entered today's training class. Today's content is sliding and spinning. Overall, it is the class that consumes the least amount of energy.

It's not very good for Lu Xi, he wants to practice jumping more, but he went to the commendation meeting today, and he didn't have the land training class in the afternoon, his body is not fully opened, so it's okay not to practice jumping.

Spin classes are mainly to practice various rotations, and at the same time, you will also practice some footwork, entering the posture of rotation, and so on.

The postures of rotation can be mainly divided into three types: upright rotation, squatting rotation and swallow-style rotation. The way to distinguish them is the posture of the body during rotation, and there are many, many small rotation movements in each posture.

To get points in the competition, it mainly depends on combined rotation, that is, two or even three postures are used in one rotation, and five or six movements are changed. During this process, try to keep the rotation axis still, that is, It is basically stable at one point on the ice, and each posture also requires a certain number of turns.

Another scoring point is the entry method, that is, how to start the rotation. The rotation depends on the inertia of the center of gravity when the foot hits the ice when entering.

So just like jumping, the simpler the slide, the easier the rotation; the more complex steps or even small jumps before entering, the more difficult the action is, and the higher the score.

Therefore, in the international arena, if you want to ensure a high score in the spin, you usually choose to jump in, that is, a small jump in place and then spin.

These are all things to train in a spin class.

Relatively speaking, spin is more beautiful and valued in women's singles, because female players have a higher soft opening, and they can complete bow spins, knife spins (that is, the most classic Bellman spin in figure skating), etc. A series of movements, the soft opening of these movements is basically impossible for male players, so there are a lot less tricks in the rotation posture, which saves trouble for the players.

Anyway, Lucy and the others are like spinning tops, turning and turning on the ice, doing the most traditional upright spin for a while, squatting for a while, and then another squatting posture with one hand up and the other down on the inner edge of the right foot.

In the middle, there were two junior contestants in the youth group doing a jump-and-swallow turn and almost bumped into each other. Lin Yingsu turned pale with fright, and scolded them both.

When doing the spin, the three people from Chen Qi's group were still next to each other, and Liu Xinyu from Bao Zhongjie's group was next to them.

During the period, Lin Yingsu called Liu Xinyu something was wrong, but Liu Xinyu turned high and didn't hear him, so Lu Xi also enthusiastically called him twice.

To his surprise, when Liu Xinyu heard Lu Xi calling him to stop, he not only ignored Lu Xi, but also rolled his eyes again with a "snap".

Lu Xi completely ignored Liu Xinyu's expression, treated him like a clown, and continued: "The coach is looking for..."

His words were suddenly interrupted.

"Your eyes are uncomfortable? If you feel uncomfortable, go and treat it."

Lucy was taken aback and turned his head.

Deng Chang stood a few steps behind him, with a calm expression on his face. If it weren't for that voice, he would never have misunderstood it. Lucy even suspected that he had misheard.

-

Even now, Lu Xi couldn't believe his ears, but the person who spoke was indeed Deng Chang.

Deng Chang really helped him to piss off the big white-eyed brother.

After Deng Chang finished speaking, he didn't look at Lu Xi or Liu Xinyu. He still had an indifferent expression of "the whole world is stupid except me", and focused on the skates under his feet.

Thinking about it carefully, Lu Xi even suspected that he didn't look at Liu Xinyu when he spoke.

But that sentence was very clear, Liu Xinyu obviously heard it too, his face turned pale, but he couldn't refute Deng Chang's words.

After all, if Deng Chang can hate him with one sentence, he can hate him with ten sentences. He knows that he is wrong.

Liu Xinyu didn't dare to answer Deng Chang's words until the end, and went to talk to Lin Yingsu with his tail between his legs. When he slid back, he didn't even want to look at Chen Qi's trio anymore, but he really didn't dare to roll his eyes at Lu Xi again.

Probably because of the protection of the team leader of Chen Qi's group, no matter what the reason is, it is really touching.

Lu Xi whispered "thank you" to Deng Chang, but Deng Chang didn't reply.

I don't know if I heard it.
