17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎Practice quadruple jumps, split into three steps. ◎

Lu Xi didn't know that he had become a little lunatic in Chen Qi's heart, but because of Chen Qi's noncommittal—that is, he didn't explicitly reject it, his fighting spirit was ignited.

Chen Qi said: "How about this, Xiaoxi, if you can dance around the back and forth on the day I return to China, regardless of the success rate, as long as you can successfully dance, I will let you put it in the program."

"When will you go back to China?" Lucy asked.

"I'll arrive at night the day after tomorrow, even if it's the day after tomorrow, I'll check you up, how about it?" Chen Qi said.

It means that it is impossible to make a quadruple jump that can only do 3.6 laps within four days.

Lucy didn't hesitate: "No problem."

Chen Qi suddenly fell silent, as if a whole tea egg was suddenly stuffed in his mouth.

Speaking of which, after becoming Lu Xi's coach, the expression on the face of this high-cold coach seems to be much more vivid.

In short, Lu Xi didn't understand Chen Qi's deep meaning of persuading him to quit, and happily reached an agreement. After hanging up the phone, he said to Deng Chang in a good mood: "The coach of the national team is different! If I and my father—oh, just My coach in Crane City said that I was going to take the difficulty, he must have scolded me! At the World Youth Championship, he scolded me within four weeks after I was going to take the challenge!"

Deng Chang looked at Lu Xi for a long time, and finally said: "Actually..."

As a person who can read the air, he kind of wants to tell Lu Xi that in fact, Coach Chen just wants you to get out of trouble.

But seeing the joy in the corners of Lucy's brows and eyes, he pursed his lower lip and didn't continue.

"Actually what?" Lucy heard half of what he said, and looked over in a blink of an eye, her eyes shining brightly under the lamp.

"In fact, Coach Chen is like this, with a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart." Deng Chang said.

"Well, I think so too." Lucy nodded.

Deng Chang was silent for a while, then nodded.

-

Practice quads—or any jump, in three steps.

Land practice is to do simulated jumps on land to find the feeling of jumping around.

Get on the boom and practice jumping on the ice with the help of the boom.

Finally, try to jump on your own.

In actual operation, it is probably like this:

Find the feeling in the land class every day. After a few simulated jumps, go to the ice practice. After hanging a few times to find the feeling of taking off, try it yourself.On the second day, continue to simulate on land first, and then practice on ice...

There will be three-digit falls throughout the process until it is mastered.

Of course, it's also possible that the quadruple jump can't be practiced at all, but Lu Xi doesn't think about it for the time being.

At least he is very confident in the movement of the back and outer four weeks.

In fact, long before he was promoted to the group, Lucy could do simulated jumps around the rear and outer sides on land, but the simulated jumps are still different from the actual jumps.

Because the simulated jump does not have a sliding aid, it is a dry pull, so the requirements for the standardization of the movement and the number of cycles are not so high, and it is almost enough.

But on the ice, if you don’t jump enough times, you won’t be able to land on the ground, because when you land on the ice, your feet are facing straight back. If you don’t have enough times to twist your body, you will fall directly.

Lu Xi just didn't have enough weeks, but he took off at a straight angle, and couldn't even use the tricks of stealing weeks, so he kept falling and falling.

However, after being instructed by Deng Chang and asking him for a few rounds, Lucy realized something.

So when it was Lucy's turn in the jumping class the next day, he didn't do any other jumps, and slid to the wall in two steps, opened the door and rushed down the ice.

After half a minute, holding the boom in his arms, he slid quickly to Coach Lin again.

Lin Yingsu was stunned: "Are you going directly to the surrounding area?"

Lucy nodded.

Lu Xi practiced jumping on land for almost half an hour just now, Lin Yingsu certainly knew what Lu Xi was going to do: "After the jump, the outer loop?"

Lucy nodded again.

Lin Yingsu said: "Then at least do a few three-week warm-ups, right? Just go straight to the fourth?"

Lu Xi continued to nod, and stuffed the big boom in Lin Yingsu's hands.

Lin Yingsu felt that it was unscientific to practice jumping in this way, and he should do a few low-level jumps first, and then move up to advanced ones.

But there is really no hard and fast rule that says you can’t practice like this. It’s not impossible to practice with only one jump when strengthening the sprint, as long as you don’t overload it, it’s ok.

The most important thing is that Lu Xi is a small one, and the suspender seems to be bigger than him. A face as big as a palm protrudes from behind the pole, with dark eyes looking eagerly at Lin Yingsu.

He was good-looking, and he was cute. He didn't need any other expressions on his face. He just looked at people with wide-open eyes to make people feel pitiful.

It made Lin Yingsu think of the little Bomei who came to her house with a big toy in her mouth and insisted on someone to play with him.

Lin Yingsu slapped his forehead, this was really unprincipled, he was very sad.

But he still took the boom in Lucy's hand without disappointment, and tried hard to maintain the last dignity of his coach with a stern face: "Fasten your seat belt yourself."

"Okay." Lucy smiled, bowed her head and tied a belt around her waist.

Now he was very well-behaved, he couldn't see the rascal who just held the boom and punched Lin Yingsu's arms at all.

-

Lin Yingsu put the record sheet in his hand on the fence of the ice rink, raised the boom, and guided Lu Xi to jump around.

The range of the boom is only one or two meters away, so when Lucy is helping to slide, he has to slide along.

Lin Yingsu knew that Lu Xi was good at skating, but he was quite surprised that Lu Xi really skating.

Because the speed is indeed fast, and it is light and visible to the naked eye.

Just like this person has no weight and no friction, he can fly 800 meters by just blowing on the ice.

It has something to do with the lightness of the body, but this is definitely not the main factor, because players who can jump quadruple jumps must keep up with strength training.

Although Lu Xi looked slender, his arms and legs were full of muscles when he squeezed them, and he knocked normal people to the ground and beat them casually.

So it's still talent.

Lin Yingsu glanced at Deng Chang again. In order to make way for Lu Xi, Deng Chang was leaning against the wall of the ice rink, bent over, and reached out to massage his calf.

I don't know what kind of luck happened to the men's singles side, to be able to pick up a jumping genius and a skating genius.

-

After turning around the field for half a circle, after jumping casually for two weeks to find the feeling, Lu Xi turned into a back step, which is ready to take off.

Lin Yingsu collected her thoughts and concentrated on watching Lu Xi jump.

In the jumping class before, Lin Yingsu looked at the four sides of Lu Xi after jumping, and felt that it was still a little far away.

There is a problem with Lucy's jumping, that is, when he does a jump that he can't complete, he is ready to fall when he takes off, so his center of gravity and axis will have some problems, and the height of the jump is not enough.

It had only been three days, and Lin Yingsu didn't have any expectations.

So when Lu Xi took off this time, he was seriously taken aback.

-

The moment he took off, Lin Yingsu felt that Lu Xi's aura was different when he took off.

After stepping on the outer edge to the extreme, it made a creaking sound when pressed against the ice, with an indescribable ruthlessness, and there was a slight change in the take-off movement. There was a small setback in the hand, and the body turned slightly to the left and then to the right, like Warm up before starting.

At the moment of take-off, the blade left the ice, and the snow and fog filled the air. Because the blade was too deep, a striking white scratch was left on the ice.

This time, Lucy obviously jumped higher and floated a little more than before.

Lin Yingsu raised his head and held his breath involuntarily, and quickly followed Lu Xi's rotation for several weeks, one, two, three, four...

The fourth week didn't seem to be enough and I fell, but——

The blade's teeth fell to the ice first, causing a large cloud of snow and fog. Lu Xi's body center of gravity also leaned forward, and the little swan turned into a little duck about to fall to the horse.

But at the last moment before the fall, with the strength of his waist and abdomen, Lucy insisted on straightening his waist.

This kind of landing has almost no speed at all, and the sliding distance is zero. Even Lu Xi swayed a bit before finally standing still, and it was difficult to set up the sliding pose.

Very reluctantly, because of the posture of falling on the ice and the number of storage weeks (insufficient weeks), goe (execution points) will be crazily deducted for one back and outer four weeks.

but--

Coach Lin Yingsu looked up at the boom in his hand, a little unbelievable.

On the side, Deng Chang stared at Lu Xi intently, and slapped him twice with small movements.

This reaction made Lin Yingsu confirm his judgment.

-

The boom is an aid in jumping.

If the athlete can't jump when taking off, as a coach, he has to lift the boom to help the opponent extend the time in the air and assist in completing the movement.

But just now, in order to see the quality of Lu Xi's current jump, he actually didn't help lift the pole.

So, he didn't give Lucy any help in this back and outer quad jump.

In other words, this quality is quite miserable, and the falling ice is horrible, but no matter how harsh the judgment is, it can be judged as a "successful" back and forth quadruple jump——

It was indeed done by the 16-year-old Lucy on his own.
