17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎The biggest coach in the country. ◎

Just like the feeling of wearing ice skates, stepping on the ice rink again is also a familiar and strange feeling.

Lu Xi still doesn't dare to double skate normally for the time being. He is afraid that he will not be able to stand on one foot with his right foot. If he can't stand and wrestle, it's still second. The main reason is that his mentality will definitely explode/explode on the spot.

So just like when he was first on the ice, let the coach hold his hand, the coach slides backwards, and he follows the most basic gourd step forward.

By the way, he is the country's biggest coach, the world's fifth-ranked active men's singles player, Deng Chang.

Deng Chang's skating is not as fast as in the competition, but because the gourd step itself does not have the action of kicking the ice off the ground, it is difficult to get up to speed, and Lu Xi still has to work harder to keep up with Deng Chang's rhythm.

Sliding the front gourd vigorously, Lucy suddenly said: "This is just like dating an unforgettable ex."

"Huh?" Deng Chang was taken aback.

"I said skating." Lucy said, "This ice rink is just like my predecessor."

He really thinks so, and he loves and hates it when he sees it.

Deng Chang said "Oh", and Lu Xi didn't know if it was an illusion, looking at him, he seemed to relax suddenly.Then Deng Chang said, "What a broken metaphor."

Lu Xi laughed: "Wenbo is a big lover. I always talk about breaking up and falling in love with me. I didn't understand it at all before, but now I seem to understand it suddenly."

Deng Chang said "Oh" again, as if he didn't want to continue the topic: "Go on skating."

Lucy was just chatting casually, so he didn't say this again and continued to slide.

Lu Xi will not let Deng Chang be his coach all the time, Deng Chang still has his own training tasks, and, although he is not "training", it is obviously unacceptable for him to be the front gourd skater of the children here, so After skating three laps around the ice rink, Lu Xi told Deng Chang to let go, and he skating and watched by himself.

Deng Chang let go of Lu Xi, but still followed Lu Xi. If Lu Xi showed signs of falling, he could provide protection at any time.

Lucy stepped forward on the ice.

He can still do the simplest skating, but he can't find the feeling of kicking off the ice now. It seems that after the second injury to his right foot, he instinctively resists touching the ice.

In fact, according to Lu Xi's current recovery situation, although it will take a long time to return to his original state, at least he can slide normally and do a simple round jump, because his right foot has reached the height of an ordinary person. At the functional level, these actions are all actions that ordinary people can do.

The team doctor said that it might be a psychological disorder, but they couldn't find a good solution, so they could only rely on Lucy to adjust himself.

Lucy slid half a circle carefully, his muscles tensed up, Nan`feng wouldn't be so tense when he jumped around before, it was a purely physiological tension.He told himself that this was for fun, not training, or a game, and it worked, and he relaxed a little.

After skating for a few laps without stopping, Lucy got a little feeling.

He could never be idle on the ice, and immediately wanted to challenge a higher level of footwork.

So I tried the front outer edge turn three, which is still a basic footwork, a movement that beginners can learn within ten lessons.

It felt okay when it was kicked out, Lucy was a little surprised, so he was going to pull the difficulty again.

"How about I try one-legged gait?" Lucy asked.

"Up to you." Deng Chang said.

Then Lucy wanted to try it himself, he just thought about it, he was still doing three forward and outward turns under his feet, but when his right foot kicked back, Lucy suddenly shook without warning.

It’s really a very beginner’s way of shaking, as if he still can’t grasp the balance well, his ankles don’t have the strength to support the ice skate, Deng Chang immediately went to grab his arm, and Lu Xi didn’t let himself fall, he quickly Squat down.

Squatting to quickly shift the center of gravity and take advantage of the momentum to unload is a way to stabilize your body.

Deng Chang kept holding on to Lu Xi's hand, feeling that part of Lu Xi's weight was on him, and the rest was on his right foot.

At the beginning of squatting, Lu Xi tightly pursed her lips, her body shook very violently, and she clenched Deng Chang's hand tightly.

After a thrilling slide for about ten seconds, his balance stabilized.

Deng Chang could see clearly that although Lu Xi's center of gravity was very unstable, for a while he could stand on his right foot, and for a while most of the weight fell on Deng Chang's hands, relying on Deng Chang for support, and he needed to squat deep Only by lowering the center of gravity infinitely can it be stabilized, but from the beginning of unsteadiness to the final adjustment of the center of gravity, Lucy's left foot has not touched the ground.

He's struggling to overcome his dependence on his left foot.

Stabilizing the center of gravity was like reaching a stage goal, and then Lu Xi also landed on the ice with his left foot and stood up.

After Lu Xi was silent for a while, the first thing he said was: "I've gained a lot of weight."

Then musingly say, "It feels like the foot is bearing twice the original weight."

In fact, of course it wouldn't be that exaggerated. Athletes will gain weight when recuperating from injuries. Lucy is indeed fatter now than when he was in his best competitive state, but he is still a well-proportioned or even slender figure among normal people.

However, the training intensity in the past few months is also extremely low, and the muscle condition has dropped significantly. When the two sides are combined, the actual physical exertion is almost twice as hard as before, and it is indeed no problem.

"Are you okay?" Deng Chang asked.

"Alright." Lucy bit her lower lip, "One more time."

-

Deng Chang originally thought that what Lu Xi said was to do the third turn, but he directly started to do the footwork that he originally planned to do. He repeatedly switched the inner blade and the outer blade on the ice with one foot. This movement is still simple, but it requires frequent athletes. To change the edge, that is to say, the ankle should be exerted frequently.

Lu Xi's current obstacle is not that he has no strength, but that he doesn't know how to use his strength, and he will suddenly be unable to stand.He still did this gait extremely bumpy, falling and swaying, but every time Deng Chang went to help him, he would say, "I'll do it again."

Lucy also couldn't figure out why it turned into a rivalry between himself and himself, but he didn't really hate the feeling of rivalry.

As long as he doesn't think about the almost impossible goal of "I want to get back the quad jump as soon as possible", he can accept repeated failures.

After doing it a few times, Deng Chang asked him to rest, so he sat on the sidelines and watched Deng Chang practice.

Deng Chang doesn't know if he has passed the development test, but he has not returned to his strongest state. In the past few months, the difficulty has not improved.

In fact, male athletes are basically not concerned with growth. Unlike female athletes, they have to face the problems of fat gain and menstrual cramps. Growth is a good thing for them, but growing too fast is the biggest developmental problem.

The higher the height, the higher the requirements for the axis of the athlete when jumping. The axis of the small person is easy to adjust if the axis is crooked.

For Deng Chang, it meant repeatedly adjusting his jumping posture to find the most stable way to take off. Lu Xi could see that he had adjusted his jumping posture for several ice jumps, but the blade jump was not greatly affected.

Lu Xi put a vertical fork on the training bench, and watched Deng Chang slide while pressing his legs. He thought it would not be easy for Deng Chang, a talented jumper who suddenly grows tall, is just as unlucky as he was injured repeatedly. Of course, He was still a little more unlucky, at least Deng Chang's skating and spinning were not affected, he just...

Forget it, don't want this.

Lucy stretched out his arms to hug his toes, and simply practiced his flexible sitting position and bent forward. Before, Lucy could touch his toes with his elbows, but in the past few months, he can only touch his toes with his fingertips. Really... …

Lucy was taken aback suddenly.

He finally realized that he was habitually pressing his legs, which was an action left over from his days as an athlete, because athletes must take into account both ice training and land training, and only amateurs can ignore the land courses and only play the ice part.

Lucy was stunned for a few seconds, hesitating whether to stand up.In the end, he pursed his lips, decided to pretend that he didn't notice anything, and continued to press down.
