17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎The World Championships will give you this kind of skating as well. ◎

The opening music sounds like wind chimes and doorbells, light and slightly mysterious.

The same three beats were repeated three times, and Lucy took three steps to the rhythm of the soundtrack.

Next, the ethereal flute sounded, and the music gradually became on track.

Lucy began to assist the slide after a short footwork movement, increased the sliding speed, and prepared for her first difficult movement.

Step backwards, slide out a smooth curve on the ice, accumulate power on the rear outer edge, and take off!

The body rotated around very lightly in the air. With the sound of "swish", the skates stirred up a large amount of snow and fog on the ice surface. The young man opened his body gracefully and slid a smooth arc on the ice surface.

The back and outer quads that fell down in the short program, this time Lucy did it perfectly.

Chen Qi and Huang Bin, who were staring nervously at the field, were so excited that they slapped their thighs hard at the same time, and they were relieved.

In the applause of the audience, Lucy made a small jump, turned to slide forward, and continued to the next technical move.

Figure skating is not a musical, the performance is not so important, and the sense of atmosphere, fluency and connection are more important.

The soundtrack is accompanied by no vocals, the rhythm is light, but unpredictable, like a dangerous character walking in the mountains, looking for the target.

After 4Lo, Lu Xi still used a set of small footwork, and after turning, he directly swung his arms and took off without any assistance.

Turn around in the air for three and a half weeks, and fall to the ice.

3A, Clean.

He Wenbo yelled, "I can't jump like this for two and a half weeks!"

Next is the jump with the highest score and the most difficult in the whole set of movements.

Although it is the back and outside point ice jump that Lu Xi is good at, but because the arrangement is a 4+3+2 jump, the difficulty is greatly increased, so a longer skating is given.

During the skating process, Lu Xi joined the hand movements choreographed by Deng Chang for him to slide with the outer edge.

The movement difficulty is not high, just to add some expressiveness to long-distance gliding, and the feeling of opening the hand is very imposing.

After that, Lu Xi turned his body with a very focused expression, pressed his body's center of gravity down, changed his feet, and hit the ice with his left foot when the speed reached the highest.

Take off!

Four weeks, another three weeks of landing ice, and another two weeks of landing ice!

As light and beautiful as a little swan, it falls on the ice with its chest up and its head up.

4T+3T+2T, Clean.

In the first half of the program, there was the last jump left. After the end, Lu Xi’s most difficult jump was completed. Of the four jumps arranged in the second half, only one quadruple jump was left, and all the others were triple jumps.

This jump is four weeks inside the back and then three weeks of ice pointing outside the back.

The back and inner four sides (4S) are actually not suitable for continuous jumps, because the take-off action greatly affects the speed, and continuous jumps after landing are more laborious, but the rule is that the same jump cannot be used for continuous jumps twice.

If you want to do 4+3 consecutive jumps to compete for higher technical points, you can’t use the 4T for the second time, and you can’t do the 4Lo’s consecutive jumps in Luxi, so you can only force yourself to 4S.

But fortunately, his success rate is not bad.

Turn the front outer edge three times. After the turn, the inner edge is used to the deepest point. Tighten the body counterclockwise, exert strength, and take off!

Rotate around in the air, hit the ice on the ground, and continue for another three weeks.

4S+3T, the landing was shaken because the speed was too slow, but it was successfully completed.

On the sidelines, Chen Qi punched hard. Lu Xi's eight jumps have been half completed, and they are the most difficult four. At present, there are basically no flaws. At most, this group of 4S+3T will deduct 1 point for execution.

That's a very, very good sign.

After completing the four sets of high-intensity jumps, the physical strength of the players was extremely exhausted, and the choreography also slowed down just right at this time, giving Lu Xi time to take a breather.

Lucy did a short gliding that was not too difficult for him. It wasn't a footwork-difficult movement, but it could earn him some art points.

Afterwards, as the first soundtrack faded out, Lucy stopped the knife on the ice. With a sullen face, he glanced to the left and to the right, as if the killer had observed the objective of the mission and was on guard for the sudden appearance of others.

The second soundtrack enters.

The second soundtrack is wonderful, a tune made purely of whistles, which appears in the film and is creepy.

According to the listener's comment, "It seems to see a perverted murderer holding a knife, whistling, the tip of the knife across the wall, and entering the house to find the victim", but of course Lucy would not act so crazy.

He also couldn't play such a crazy look, so he could only act with a sullen face and a deadpan expression.But just right, this role would be pathological if it was played too far, and might even be banned from acting, and Lucy's calm and pretty face now looked like a cold-faced young assassin who robbed the rich and gave to the poor.

He lightly completed a set of combined spins and a set of footwork amidst the whistle. When doing the footwork, he put his hands next to his ears, as if listening to the movement.

This set of footwork ended with a sudden stop that tested the control ability. As if Lucy was about to be thrown out by inertia, his upper body suddenly fell forward!

Amidst the exclamation of the audience, he controlled himself again in the next second, and straightened his back—this was actually a choreographed movement.

Step back, freeze frame, and the third section begins.

"Battle without honor or humanity" is the most classic and familiar passage among the three soundtracks. Almost when the BGM just started, the audience has already started to beat.

Lucy turned over and jumped in the beat, the little assassin's action came to an end, and the climax of the second half officially began.

The third soundtrack is very rhythmic, almost all of Lucy's jumps are stuck, the intense drum beat perfectly coincides with his ice tapping action, the time spent in the air is exactly the interval between the two drum beats, and when the ice falls, it happens to be the drum sound again.

Turn three times forward and outward, change feet, lower the center of gravity, touch the ice with the left foot, and take off!

4T, perfect ice fall.

In the second half of this program, four jumps are arranged, because the adult group requires one more jump than the youth group. Taking advantage of the national championship to challenge a heavy load, there will be no great loss if it fails anyway.

This was a great physical test for Lu Xi, and he only arranged three quadruple jumps in the program, but he had done all the quadruple jumps here.

Sliding backwards, there is an S-shaped blade on the left foot, the center of gravity is lowered, the inner blade is stepped on deeply, the right leg is raised, and the ice is exerted!

Hook for three weeks, 3Lz, easy to complete.

There is also the last group of jumps, 3Lz+3Lo, although it is not a quadruple jump, but it is already the most advanced type in the triple jump, and it is also easy to complete.

Go around the field for a circle, the last jump in the field.

Sliding forward, turning the front outer edge three times, the skating posture is almost the same as the back inner knot loop jump, but the inner edge is not stepped so deep, the right foot hits the ice hard, and take off!

Triple axel, 3F, perfect ice landing!

The less knowledgeable audience still applauded every successful jump of Lu Xi, while the knowledgeable audience applauded harder. Chen Qi, Huang Bin, Cui Xiao, and He Wenbo, who were watching from the outside, either stood up excitedly, or Loud applause, Deng Chang, who was watching the game beside Cui Xiao, was much calmer, but also applauded.

Lucy completed all 8 jumps, and except for one 4S+3T that landed unsteadily, all of them were done perfectly, which is destined to give him a high score in this free skating.

Amidst the intense, rhythmic music, Lucy performed the last two sets of spins and one set of footwork.

In the last half of eight beats, he has just finished an upright spin, clasping his hands together like a hand/gun.

Lu Xi's right foot was icy, and his hands were like playing golf, swiping from the back of the head on the right side to the front, but just before he swung his face, he stopped suddenly!

With the last drum beat, he retracted the "gun" to the side of his right face again, and slowly raised his head.

Freeze motion exactly as it started.

The mission was completed, and the setting sun was like blood in front of his eyes, but the little assassin showed neither joy nor disgust, only a touch of weariness on his pretty face.

This kind of detached and world-weary expression made Lucy look very advanced. The auditorium was silent for several seconds before bursting into warm applause.

-

It was about ten seconds after the music and movements stopped before Lucy put down his hands and greeted the auditorium.

He didn't intend to freeze for a long time on purpose, but he was too tired after the 8 free skating jumps. If he suddenly relaxed just now, his legs would be so soft that he would kneel directly on the ground.

This set of performances is really good, just like the World Youth Championship, but more difficult.

Thinking of Lu Xi in this way, he was very happy, and he laughed unconsciously. When he laughed, the audience went crazy, shouting his name desperately, and throwing him plush toys.

The barrage in the live broadcast room was going crazy. Lucy in this set of free skating changed from yesterday's pure look, provocative and arrogant movements made with such a pretty face, sweet and cool, super double the lethality.

-I announce that I have climbed from the top of Deng Chang's wall to the west side of the loop again;

- The servants off the court, the emperor on the court;

- Eyes burst out, tear mole kills me;

- Brothers, can we discuss technology?The difficulty and completion of this set are too top!

Lucy almost couldn't stand when he got off the ice. He hadn't done any large-scale strength training, and his physical strength was all supported by his small muscles. He was so tired from training before that he was almost paralyzed. The strength was stronger than usual, Chen Qi supported his arm, almost all of his weight was on Chen Qi, and he wobbled to the waiting area.

The ice boys had already placed plush toys like hills beside Lu Xi. Chen Qi picked up a plush puppy and handed it to Lu Xi as he liked. Lu Xi took it and slapped it on his face The camera shook the puppy and smiled sweetly.

-

"I really want to be pointed at by Xiaoxi." In the waiting area, Cui smiled and read the barrage on the mobile phone face of the old man in the subway, "What strange preferences do the audience have now?!"

Deng Chang was sitting next to Cui Xiao, watching Lu Xi's performance without saying a word, until Cui Xiao read out this barrage, he stretched out his hand without warning and turned off the barrage.

"It's okay." Deng Chang said lightly.

As he spoke, he stood up, pressed his knuckles on his shoulders and moved twice, "Let's go."

Cui Xiao was confused by his reaction. Seeing him standing up, he reflexively said, "Okay, free skating, come on!"

Deng Chang nodded and walked towards the ice rink.

Cui Xiao was stunned for a long time, and then he shouted at Deng Chang's back: "What does "it's okay" mean? ! "

Of course there was no answer.

-

Equal division is especially lively right now.

This excitement is mainly due to the fact that the audience is shouting Lucy's name in places that are a little closer to the equal division, so although there are no broadcast media and commentary, and there are few broadcasts, Lucy's ears are still buzzing .

He couldn't quite stand up yet, and when he heard the cheers getting louder, he waved in that direction.

The ending is the louder cheers ==

"Xiaoxi." Chen Qi put his arms around Lu Xi's shoulders. Although he has always been a stressful monster with no smile, he couldn't hide the happy expression on his face at this moment, "Very good, this one."

Lu Xi had already shown a good level in the previous rehearsal, but 4S+3T was a difficulty that was temporarily raised a few days before the competition, and it was also Lu Xi who wanted to use the national competition as a platform where "if you make a mistake, you will not embarrass the country". Explore your current limits.

The free skating just now was Lu Xi's best performance after going up the difficulty.

"Do you know what your biggest regret is?" Chen Qi said, "It's not the World Championship."

"Then I will give you the same skating in the World Championship." Lucy said.

The child speaks amazingly every time in the waiting area.

Chen Qi also gave up pulling his temper, and patted Lu Xi's arm: "Do what you say."

-

At the referee's seat, scoring was carried out in an intense and orderly manner. Although I knew the referee Songsong of the domestic competition early in the morning, and knew that Lu Xi's program would get a good score, but when the score really appeared on the scoreboard and broadcast In the middle of the day, amidst the uproar of the audience, Chen Qi still stood up with a "chuckle".

"No. 2 contestant Lu Xi, free skating technique score 105.25, program content score 96.16, free skating total score 201.41, total score 287.53, ranking first in real time."

201, this is a very competitive free skating result in the world arena. It cannot be compared with the top three or two athletes, but it has the ability to be in the top six in any competition.

When the announcement sounded, Chen Qi's expression was still tense, and Huang Bin, who was waiting outside, jumped up with an "Aww", shouting hoarsely: "Xiaoxi FS (free skating) broke 200!"

He Wenbo also shouted: "Break 200! Awesome!"

Huang Bin rubbed He Wenbo's head: "It's higher than your short program free skating plus both points!"

He Wenbo: "..."

He Wenbo burst into tears, "Why is it always me who gets hurt!"

287.53, that is to say, Lu Xi, who was only 5 points higher than Liu Xinyu in the short program, left him by nearly 40 points in the free skating. It is conceivable that Liu Xinyu would have to roll his eyes in some form.

When Lu Xi got up from the waiting area, Chen Qi had already hurried to the side of the ice rink.

Another player in his group, Deng Chang, is getting ready to play.

There is a big TV in the rest area, but if Lu Xi passes by now, he will be chased by various provincial team players and coaches to congratulate and make friends. Those people Lu Xi doesn't know, and they don't have the energy to know, so they directly confront a group of people "Lu Xi" It’s amazing” and “Come on Luxi” congratulated, waved his hands and walked quickly through the rest area, got into the locker room, and sat next to Cui Xiao.

Cui Xiao glanced at Lu Xi, and silently put the pad in his hand on his lap, Deng Chang had already entered the stage on the screen.

Lu Xi smiled brightly, and Cui Pad Toolman laughed silently looking up to the sky and sighing.

-

Deng Chang's free skating set is relatively old-fashioned, choosing the classic track "Romeo and Juliet".

This soundtrack has been skated by many, many athletes. It belongs to the type that can’t go wrong, but it’s not easy to shine.

Deng Chang's difficulty configuration is basically the same as that of Lu Xi. He has not yet practiced 4Lo jumps, but in the single jump, he replaced Lu Xi's 3F with 4S, and 4S+3T became 4S+3Lo advanced For the continuous jump configuration, the technical score is about 6-7 points higher, and it is also an action that both physically consumes and technical difficulty.

He and Lucy didn't want to "win each other" and seek stability, but tacitly used the national championship to challenge the limit.

It is very, very difficult to get double clean in both the short program and the free skating, which is rarely seen in competitions. In this free skating, Deng Chang's completion is not as perfect as the short program "Flying Apsaras".

After several difficult jumps in the first half were easily cleaned, the 17-year-old athlete's physical strength was not enough to keep up with the last four weeks in the second half.

4S单跳，邓畅落地单手扶冰，最后连跳的3Lz+3Lo则跳成了3Lz+2Lo。

Although there were mistakes, in fact, this level of performance could still go sideways in last year's national competition, because Deng Chang's free skating will not be lower than 185 even if he falls below Datian.

But now there is Lu Xi's 287 points in front of him, and Deng Chang's free skating performance, objectively speaking, is slightly worse than Lu Xi's in terms of appeal and technical performance.

In this way, the ownership of the national champion suddenly became suspenseful.

-

"He needs 195.2 points to beat you." Cui Xiao pressed the calculator quickly, "Do you think you can get this score?"

"It's possible." Lucy responded casually, seeing that Deng Chang in the picture had finished his salute and fell off the ice, he stood up awkwardly.

"What are you doing?" Cui Xiao looked up suspiciously.

He felt that he had been asking the same question for the past two days, and he really couldn't understand the children nowadays.

"Go and see him score." Lucy said and ran towards the ice rink quickly.

In fact, in more formal competitions, the top three athletes in real time have a special rest area where they have to sit all the time, but the National Championship does not pay so much attention.

Lu Xi walked through the waiting area and rushed back to the ice rink amidst the greetings of "Hello Xige" and "Come on Xige".

"I'll leave here to accompany you." Cui Xiao laughed at himself helplessly. As the senior brother of the two children, he still got up and chased him out.

-

Equal partitions.

"You skated very well this time." Chen Qi said to Deng Chang, "Although the comparison with the Four Continents was slightly flawed, you still showed your level."

Deng Chang nodded. Over the past year, he knew Chen Qi's ways very well.

Usually he is a stress monster. During the competition, if you skate well, he will have a calm face. If your skate may not be ideal, he will immediately send thoughtful (though not so caring) care like an old father .

like now.

But Deng Chang was fine.

Before he finished the action, Deng Chang knew in his heart that this time he could only be second.

If he performed perfectly, he might have won the short program with an advantage of 6 points, but he failed, and Lucy's free skating performance was great. Not only did he make almost no mistakes in his technical movements, but he also had full tension.

That set of programs suits his style very well, he is rustic and pretty, obedient and neat, the 16-year-old Lucy is radiant and completely shines in that set of programs.

The announcer's voice sounded.

"No. 1 contestant Deng Chang scored 101.67 in technique, 93.20 in program content and 194.87 in free skating."

"Total score, 287.24, ranking second in real time."

As he expected.

Deng Chang let out a sigh of relief.

Everyone has finished the competition, ranking second in real time, that is, the second overall score.

It is impossible to say that it is not a pity, but this time Lu Xi skated so well, so Deng Chang was convinced.And it's 0.3 points lower, which is actually between brothers and sisters, which is acceptable.

Once second is not always second.

Deng Chang stood up, and heard someone screaming, "Deng Chang, I love you!"

He waved the stuffed dog in his hand to express his thanks.

"Go this way to prepare for the award ceremony." A staff member came to guide.

Deng Chang stood up and followed Chen Qi to leave the waiting area. He was taken aback as soon as he stood up.

Behind the equal partition, there is an artificial barrier near the entrance of the waiting area, which is the blind spot of the audience's stand.

Lucy is standing there now, looking at Deng Chang.

That pair of chins raised slightly nervously, the dark pupils looking at him fixedly, beautiful and stubborn, is no different from Songcheng when he was ten years old, or the training camp when he was 15 years old.

-

"Deng Chang." Lucy called him.

Deng Chang was a little distracted, and it was only when Lu Xi made a sound that he came back to his senses: "Huh?"

Maybe his distracted expression was very cold, as if he didn't want to pay attention to others. Lucy paused for two seconds before saying, "I finally beat you once."

Deng Chang was taken aback, and wanted to laugh a little.

When others say this, it will seem like provocation, I owe you, but it won't happen if Lu Xi says it.

It's not because Lu Xi is good-looking, but because a simple and silly child like Lu Xi said "I won you once" is pure "I won you once", there is no such thing as "I'm better than you" or "You can't" The implicit meaning of the class.

On the contrary, he will say this to show that he thinks highly of you and regards you as an opponent.

Deng Chang knew him too well.

I don't know why I know so well.

-

Lu Xi waited for a while, but Deng Chang didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

Lu Xi felt that he might have spoken too fiercely. After thinking about it, he said, "But you are also very good. Next time you still have a chance."

Chen Qi and Cui Xiao next to them seemed anxious to break up the fight, probably because they were provocative like Lu Xi, instead of the champion who hugged and comforted and said "You are great" in the past ten years, and there was no second champion, maybe Deng Chang's expressionless face looks like he is about to lose his temper and leave in the next second.

But in fact, Lucy's point is not "very good" or "have a chance", but "next time".

He hoped to have such a contest next time, he was even a little afraid that Deng Chang would not play with him after losing a game.

After all, Deng Chang didn't seem to have a good temper, and he was very proud.

But every time he said this kind of thing, his self-esteem would frantically increase his sense of existence, so that Lucy could only speak to this extent at most, and it seemed that the effect was not very good.

Because Deng Chang looked at him silently, his expression was the same as when he was looking at the scoreboard just now, but the coach and seniors on the side had already stretched out their hands ready to fight.

Forget it, if you understand it, you understand it, if you don’t understand it, it’s like that, anyway, you are not familiar with it.

... Even if you want to find love, it is impossible to find love now.

Lucy thought desperately.

At this moment, Deng Chang finally spoke, his tone was very light, but inexplicably made people feel at ease.

"Don't worry." Deng Chang looked at Lu Xi, "Next time he will definitely be better than you."
