17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎We both take off in the same way. ◎

With many years of experience in raising naughty children, Chen Qi immediately felt something was wrong from Deng Chang's reaction.

He bent down and stared at Deng Chang who was sitting on the chair: "Did you skip class?"

Deng Chang calmly turned his gaze away: "No."

"Then you got into a fight? Did you get punished for doing something wrong? Did you get expelled?" Chen Qi asked.

Deng Chang let him guess, lowered his eyes, and slowly took off his school uniform jacket, put on protective gear, and changed into training clothes, with a very calm expression.

It wasn't until Chen Qi really ran out of new ideas that Deng Chang replied: "I'm here for training, isn't there a national competition soon?"

Chen Qi: "Oh."

This is indeed not considered skipping class. Deng Chang is a special sports recruit and a national athlete. He must give priority to preparing for competitions. Shouti's own cultural courses are only half a day a day, and he can ask for leave at any time when there are competitions.

However, Chen Qi was still quite puzzled, because Deng Chang had never seen him be so active in training in the year he came to the national team.

Before, even in international competitions such as the Four Continents Competition, he still did not delay going to school.

It wasn't until two weeks before the game that the national team asked him to conduct closed training, and he asked for leave from the school.

The last week of the national championship game is the full preparation period. Before this time, Deng Chang came by himself?

Thinking has improved a lot.

-

"You warm up first. I'm doing choreography for Lu Xi. After you're done warming up, go straight to the jump. I'll check your latest state." Chen Qi said.

"Okay." Deng Chang said.

Speaking of Lu Xi, Chen Qi recalled what he had talked with Lin Yingsu before, and took advantage of the situation and said, "Xiao Xi is a younger brother, and he is a newcomer. You should take care of him and talk to others more."

"Okay." Deng Chang said.

He deserved it with joy, but without emotion.

Chen Qi was worried. He was really worried about the relationship between the two children, but he didn't know if Deng Chang took it to heart.

-

Lu Xi waited on the ice for a while, saw Chen Qi coming back from the rest area, and immediately slid to his side.

I was very worried.

Because he didn't do well in the quad jump just now, only one of the three back and outer quads passed. I don't know if Chen Qi will let him take the difficulty with this degree of completion.

If Huang Bin had led him, he would have dared to jump unsurely, but in front of Chen Qi, he didn't have the guts.

Sure enough, Chen Qi hit the nail on the head when he came up: "Three backs and one out of four, your success rate is not very good."

Lucy couldn't refute, but nodded.

"With this success rate, do you still want to go up the difficulty?" Chen Qi looked at him.

Lu Xixin said something was wrong, and Chen Qi's question was obviously a rhetorical question, which meant that you should not go up to the difficulty.

But he still wanted to try.

Because if it is not difficult, Lu Xi's artistic score cannot beat Deng Chang, and it is difficult to win the championship.

But he wants this championship.

He's an athlete and he wants every championship.

So Lu Xi faced Chen Qi's death stare and said, "I want to go up the difficulty. I have enough weeks, even if I fall, it's about the same as the score of three weeks. If I don't fall, I can make money."

"Then what if you miss the gap?" Chen Qi asked.

Gap refers to that if the take-off is wrong, in order to avoid injury, the athlete can only temporarily reduce the number of cycles in the air, such as jumping four weeks into two weeks or even one week.

The same is the back outside ice jump, the base score of the quadruple jump is 10.3, but if the back outside ice jump is empty for a week, the base score is only 0.4 in an instant, which is equivalent to losing 10 points directly.

The total score of figure skating short program plus free skating is only 240 to 300. Losing 10 points at once is a nightmare for the players.

The more difficult and unskilled the jump, the easier it is to jump into the gap.

"I won't be empty." Lucy said.

It's not nonsense, he has a kind of obsession that he has to complete the spin after he jumps up. Before participating in the competition, he would fall, fall unstable, and the number of weeks would not be enough, but he never made a gap.

"You can think about it, it's really embarrassing for you to make a gap." Chen Qi said, "This is your first competition when you are promoted to the group. How many people are watching."

There are a lot of comments about Lu Xi on the Internet. Although he is the world champion, he is only in the youth group. There are too many spectators who are rebellious on the hot search. Too high popularity brings more controversy. There are not a few people who want to watch him lively.

Even by his side, there is Liu Xinyu, the big white-eyed brother, who is eager for him to roll over.

Lucy understood, but he didn't really care that much.

He met Chen Qi's eyes and said again: "I can't be free."

Chen Qi was silent for a while, it was hard to see whether he approved of Lu Xi's arrogance.

After a long half minute of silence, he sighed: "I've convinced you."

Then, Chen Qi took out a neatly folded but crumpled form from his small bag. It was the movement sequence of Lucy's free skating. The jumps in it were circled with red pens and replaced with new jump.

Lucy was stunned.

The adjustment of the choreography needs to consider the difficulty and physical strength as a whole. Obviously, it cannot be done in a short period of time. Therefore, although the coach does not support him on the difficulty, he has actually helped him think of a new choreography during the World Championships——

"Write down the movements, let's have fun on the ice." Chen Qi said briefly without giving Lu Xi a chance to open his mouth to thank him.

-

This time, Hele still didn't do the full set, but only did a round of jumps to let Lucy get familiar with the new jump sequence, and go through the connection once.

Lucy has skipped this program for two seasons. Because he had no chance to participate in the competition last season, Huang Bin did not schedule a new program this season, but only increased the difficulty of this program.

After skipping two seasons of the program, the degree of familiarity is that you can dance backwards with your eyes closed, and He Le passed it smoothly.

Although Chen Qi sighed and said, "You still need to sharpen your upper body movements", but then he also said, "Let's talk about it next season, this season will be like this first", which means that we have passed the test.

"Hele is like this today, you raise the proficiency around the back and outside, try not to fall." Chen Qi said.

Lucy has always been responsive to training requirements, and went to brush and jump happily.

On the other side, the automatic door opened, and Deng Chang came back, already changing his skates.

"Finished the warm-up?" Chen Qi asked.

Deng Chang nodded.

"Okay, let's go on the ice, and you practice jumping too." Chen Qi said.

-

Lu Xi still did the back and outer four weeks, and this time it was not bad, probably because the coach agreed to the difficulty, and he felt relaxed.

When falling off the ice, from the corner of my eye I saw a familiar slender figure passing by on the ice rink.

Deng Chang came to train at this point?

He doesn't go to school?

Just as Lucy was wondering, there was a "swish" sound from behind him as the blade of the knife rested on the ice.

"How do you feel?" Deng Chang asked.

"Is it around the back and outside?" Lu Xi thought in surprise, Deng Chang's after-sales service is not bad, and he came back to ask about the user experience after teaching how to take off.

The arrangement of the general players is a secret, not to mention that he and Deng Chang are competitors, and objectively speaking, they are not familiar with each other.

But in fact, just like Deng Chang taught Lu Xi to jump without reservation, Lu Xi felt that he had nothing to hide in front of Deng Chang, "My success rate is not high, but the coach promised to let me put in the choreography. gone."

Deng Chang nodded, and the two slowly slid forward side by side, as if they were taking a walk.

They rarely talked on the ice rink like this, and never skating on the ice so leisurely. They had known each other for a long time, but they always seemed to be very strange.

But now Lu Xi actually felt natural again, as if they should have done so long ago.

"Thanks to you teaching me, the progress has been made a lot faster." Lucy said.

"Yeah." Deng Chang said without beginning or end, "We both take off in the same way."

Now Lu Xi also has a small setback when taking off from the rear outer knot and turns his body to the left. This is Deng Chang's signature rhythm.

According to the jumping method Deng Chang told him, it would naturally be like this. Lu Xi thought it was quite handsome, and he was willing to do the same moves as Deng Chang in his heart.

But Deng Chang mentioned this suddenly, as if saying that he was unwilling.

Lu Xi was suddenly pricked with a needle, he was willing, but Deng Chang was not.

This is very uncomfortable.

-

"Then I won't learn from you, I'll go and change the movements." Lucy said.

"That's not what it means." Deng Chang said.

"What does that mean?" Lucy asked.

He was actually a little angry in his heart. If it was Deng Chang who he stole from, it would be fine for Deng Chang to have opinions.

But the movements were taught by Deng Chang, and he has been taught, and now he talks about things like movements, isn't that bullying.

The atmosphere is a little stiff.

But neither of them is the person who can ease the atmosphere.

Lu Xi stared at Deng Chang unhappily. Deng Chang looked down at his skates. The light fell on his face, showing a thin and clear outline.

After being silent for half a minute, Deng Chang finally said, "That's pretty good."

"Huh?" Lucy was taken aback.

It's just the word "very good", and the annoyance that was still filling my heart just now, suddenly disappeared like a leaking balloon.

What's good?The action is just as good?Or is it good to be learned?

But Lu Xi didn't ask, Deng Chang said "very good", and his aura suddenly softened.

Deng Chang didn't intend to say any more, he had already been on the ice for a long time, so he slid away to do the action.

-

What Deng Chang did was also around the back and outside, with exactly the same take-off movements as Lu Xi, a better hang in the air, and the same perfect landing on the ice.

Lucy looked at it seriously.

After knowing each other for so many years, player Deng Chang was finally willing to take the initiative to say a few words to Lu Xi.

Although what he said was unclear, and Xiaoxi's EQ was not very high, so he didn't fully understand it, but he could still figure out that this person had good intentions.

The anger in my heart has long since dissipated, and that mass of emotions has become an indescribable feeling in the sound of music on the ice rink.Feeling better, but awkward, I don't know how to tell that person.

So this time he deliberately waited for Deng Chang, intending to finish the movements of both of them, and then go to the coach to comment together.

But at this time off the court, Chen Qi and coach Lin Yingsu, who were originally worried about their relationship, after observing all the interactions, had already smiled from the corners of their mouths to the ears, and their eyes were full of little stars, they were going crazy with joy.
