ice emperor

After making a decision and setting a goal, An Yi didn't continue to think about whether it would be too early to retire at the age of 25. Under the surprised and gratified eyes of James Joyce and An Zexian, he quickly shifted his attention and started Think about how to realize the "Three in a Row of Winter Olympics", an ambition that can scare people to death if it is spoken out.

This is not an exaggeration, it is a [-]% sure.

Olympic triple?

Two consecutive championships are as difficult as reaching the sky, let alone go further.

If it spreads, people with normal IQ will definitely think that he is crazy, so he will have such unrealistic dreams.Wish him well?I'm sorry, unless it's relatives and friends, or to perfunctory him, no one wants to go crazy with him.

"No, Louis, after you turned to take off from the ter (Conte step), the center of gravity of the body and the timing of exerting force still paid too much attention to the force generated by swinging the right leg. Always remember that this is very similar to turning three, but it is more difficult When entering into Axel with a bigger turning footwork, the balance of the body and the center of the ice blade should always be kept at the left rear outer edge and turn to the left front outer edge, and the position near the end of the ice blade should not change.”

"This footwork is different from the three-step turn, inner edge to outer edge, outer edge to inner edge, and the feeling of turning the body along the sliding arc direction. The turning direction is opposite to the sliding arc, and the skills required are inherently high. , you need to pay more attention when you take off. Emmm, how about this, try again. Slip in the rear outer edge of the left foot, press the force on the end of the outer edge, take the heel as the center of the circle, lift the front half of the left skate, and turn counterclockwise to the left Spin your body...good, that's great my boy! That's what it feels like!"

At eleven o'clock in the morning on December 2, 3, the organizing committee of the ISU Grand Prix Finals arranged for the athletes and coaches to stay in the hotel located in the training ice rink on the second floor.

On the ice, An Yi followed Joyce's instructions, skating for a certain distance, and then slid in the rear outer edge of his left foot. Swinging and jumping, with arms wrapped around his chest and rotating for three and a half weeks, he lowered his right foot and then the outer edge slid out. He successfully completed this series of extremely difficult transitions, the Kant step turning and the Axel triple axel jump.

As for after that, it is natural to repeat this action all the time, success, fall, fall, success, and the other athletes and coaches who watched his entire training process on the ice rink were dumbfounded.

I sigh in my heart, this is the gap in strength, this is the gap in talent, they are still working hard to improve the quality of jumping, and when adding the less difficult footwork connection, Louis Watts is no longer satisfied with turning three forwards and one big step Jin, Yan-style balance Jin, these movements.

Isn't Axel a joke when he slides in on the rear outer edge of his left foot, suddenly turns counterclockwise, slides on the front outer edge of his left foot, and immediately jumps up?

The entire execution process, the timing, jumping ability, and body balance requirements are simply monster-level. How can this person never know how to be satisfied?

chap!

"Wow, this time it's an Axel double jump with the right foot back outside, clockwise turning front outside, back outside rocker (soft step) and left foot front outside edge sliding? Seriously, Joyce, last night What happened after I accidentally fell asleep?"

Another take-off and another fall An Yi continued the training. Johnny, who was drinking and resting during training at the ice rink, was a little puzzled, and turned his eyes to Joyce, who was writing something in his notebook with his head down outside the protective wall.

God testified, the man who was practicing desperately on the ice rink was definitely not the brother he was familiar with.

In the past, although he worked very hard and went all out during practice, that feeling was obviously rational and restrained, not as desperate as it is today.

It's good and bad.

Good because the training effect is great, bad because it is very easy to get injured.

Anyone who is familiar with him knows how much he envies the healthy body of his best friend, and regrets the injuries he suffered from private training when he was young.So now of course I want to find out the status of my friend, and determine the reason why the two of them have a common coach and cooperate with him so much.

"Is this weird Johnny? Or do you think that with Luis' talent, he only needs to put in 10% effort to be successful all the time? His health? You don't need to worry about it, an assures me that Luis' body can take it .In the end, it doesn’t matter if you can’t bear it, anyway, that kid has already decided when to retire.”

"W, what?! Louis has already decided—cough cough! Decided when to retire? Why haven't I heard him talk about such an important thing?"

Leaning on the protective wall and just taking a sip of water, Joyce suddenly threw a thunder.

His heart fluttered, his chest contracted, and Johnny was so excited that he choked on the water and coughed. After finally calming down, he realized that he couldn't say anything about it. Holding a plastic water bottle in his hand, he approached Joyce and asked in a low voice. The second half of the sentence.

Watch Joyce's reaction.

He actually shook his head and sighed after hearing Johnny's question, the helplessness and sorrow that this idiot turned out to be my disciple was written all over his face.

In addition, there was an impulse in his eyes that he really wanted to pat the guy in front of him on the head to remind him if he had forgotten something.

tell him?Why should I tell him?Didn't he keep similar secrets himself?

"Johnny, what are your plans after the 2 Turin Winter Olympics?"

Lamenting in his heart, unable to preach, Joyce shifted his gaze to the little disciple training on the ice, paused for three seconds and shook his head, thinking of something, his heart softened, and after snorting heavily in his nasal cavity, he glanced at Uneasy The eldest disciple guided the way.

"Plans after the Torino Winter Olympics, why are you asking this all of a sudden. Didn't I tell you Joyce, rest, study, try to be a figure skating jumping coach, in my dearest head coach James Joyce Under the guidance of Mr.

"So, Mr. Coach, the reason you're bringing this up again is, have you had enough of me asking questions all the time, enough of the fact that I'm more popular with the younger generation of Canadian athletes than you? I'm sorry, but the former I can't accept it, and the latter Patrick, Luvik, and Liu insisted that I teach me, and I was very distressed. You know, I am not good at rejecting people."

"Hey……"

You idiot, I just can't stand your stupidity anymore.

I also wanted to remind you that I forgot to tell Luiz when he retired, but I didn't expect you to talk about these things.

Pray my boy, Joyce who cared more about you than your father has given you up!

"Hey, Louis, this inside edge to outside edge, right foot straight into the hook transition is great, but I have a better idea. Come on my boy, my current Inspiration surged."

Talking and waving, while James Joyce called his beloved little disciple, the big disciple who hadn't realized that he had been ruthlessly abandoned with a blank look quickly entered the teaching state after An Yi approached.

Like what he just said.

He has a better idea than a simple hook jump with a big one. After a big step on the outer edge, the right foot floats, and the rear outer edge of the left foot turns to the front outer edge to catch Axel.

Obviously, this design is more demanding and more difficult than the simple one-word step and Kangte step. It will definitely make up for what his dear little disciple discovered. If there are too many transfers to the third step, once it is targeted by the referee, it is easy to reduce it. Weaknesses in performing points.

"...Okay, that's all there is to it, try your best. Forgive me boy, I'm going to instruct Johnny. You know he's more... Johnny than you? Ho, goddamn bastard, What are you doing, it's training time now! It's been 10 minutes, why didn't you continue to practice!?"

Inside and outside the protective wall, after Joyce called An Yi over, the teaching and explanation came to an end for a quarter of an hour. He was just about to make a joke and focus on another disciple, but when he turned his head, he realized that he should have drank water and continued. The training guy still stayed on the sidelines.

what is he doingThe southeast corner of the ice rink?Look at the Russian Ilya Ivanov, and that little boy who is said to be very gifted at skating?

Sure enough, he didn't feel wrong when he saw the way these two Russians got along a few days ago.Although Ilya Ivanov will do his best for this comeback, it doesn't matter whether he can succeed or not, because he has already transferred his energy to the boy named Anatoly.

"Joyce, in fact, I have always been curious, does Ilya Ivanov's state mean that he has been serving as Anatoly's coach for a long time?"

Noticing Joyce's reaction, he looked in the direction of his line of sight. An Yi, who was wearing a complete set of red and white sportswear for the Chinese national team, observed for a while the detailed process of the pair of big and small inner knot jumps after training. He took a look at the shoulders and arms that hurt from falling when he was practicing footwork just now, unzipped the zipper of the jacket and took off the jacket, and asked casually while putting it on the protective wall.

"Their performance shows a lot of problems, doesn't it? Maybe Ilya Ivanov never really regarded me as an opponent? Or maybe the regret that happened to me was made up by his disciples, just like you did on the ice rink many years ago. Encourage me the same way."

"..."

chap!

An Yi asked, and while Joyce was silent, Ilya Ivanov and Anatoly, who had just started practicing on the ice in the southeast corner of the ice rink, made new moves.

First, Ilya Ivanov demonstrates, followed by Anatoly.

Seeing the ice skates gliding across the ice, a string of blond hair of ice crystals fluttered, and the little boy in his teens slid into the movement with his back, and the inner blades of his feet took off in a figure-eight shape.The first lap, the second lap, the third lap, and the fourth lap, when the number of weeks was enough to land on the ice, I staggered and sat on the ice, and almost completed the quadruple jump in the inner knot ring.

However, even though he ended in failure, even though he fell on the ice in the end, because of his enough quadruple jumps and his beautiful posture in the air, he still managed to elicit a burst of exclamation, attracting heartfelt admiration from the men and women on the training ground .

This of course included An Yi, Johnny, and Joyce.The reason is that the child's talent and hard work are worthy of these affirmations.

"Louis, I seem to have forgotten to ask you last night, is your plan after retirement right? Can you tell me what you think about it, kid, will you become a coach like Ilya Ivanov?"

Talking, turning his head, and drawing his attention back to An Yi, James Joyce obviously foresaw something and asked.

However, after hearing his question, not only An Yi was stunned for a moment, but even Johnny, who was mostly focused on his mortal enemy, looked over.It directly caused An Yi to laugh and cry against the eyes of the big and small around him. He really wanted to complain about them. He cared so much about what he planned to do after retirement. Who could tell what would happen seven years later.

but……

Become a figure skating coach?

Maybe it's a good idea, after all, even if he decided on the time to retire, he never thought of leaving this familiar ice rink.

And if his journey of defending the championship goes well, it is impossible to put aside his relationship with figure skating after retiring.

Figure skaters all over the world will not let go of his technical experience, the ISU International Skating Federation will not let go of his influence, and it is impossible for the top and bottom of the national team to let his fat to the point of dripping fat be taken by outsiders. take away.
