It's better to fall in love with an old enemy

The US station, the third stop of the Grand Prix and the second stop of Xiyuan Temple, will determine whether he can enter the last stop of the finals.

"Why is it Los Angeles again?" Ono Matsuheira complained in a low voice, wrapped in a scarf, wearing a woolen hat and woolen gloves.

Xiyuan Temple's sports team uniform was only covered with a slightly thicker padded jacket. At this moment, he was at the gate of the Los Angeles competition venue, and he hated his coach for being too delicate from the bottom of his heart.At the beginning of November, winter hadn't really arrived yet, and the temperature had just started to drop. This man actually wrapped himself up like a bear.

Xiyuan Temple watched him for a while, then shook his head, completely unable to understand.

However, he understood Coach Ono's exclamation very well.

Really, why is it Los Angeles again, this city can almost be regarded as Xiyuan Temple's second hometown.

He has been to Los Angeles many times, he has walked through all the streets and alleys, and he knows exactly which small shop has the best food, but this is the first time he has entered a sports venue in Los Angeles.

Dylan White stepped into the venue on the dead line of the stipulated arrival time. When he leisurely grabbed the marker pen and was looking for a space to write his name on the sign-in signature board, he glanced at the upper left and saw Zeming Xiyuanji English signature.Japanese names are always written in Roman letters, and the name of Xiyuanji is even longer.However, his signature has been designed to simplify the writing of letters, and the fancy style signer is like a person, quietly staying in the upper left corner of the signature board.

Dylan scratched his chin twice with the end of the pen holder, picked up the pen and inserted it into the gap between the names of Xiyuan Temple and another contestant.The space left is actually not small, but Dylan's youngest signed a cursive signature on it, crowded and full, and the elongated strokes were deliberately drawn together with Xiyuansi's lower pen.

Coach Lancer, who had been waiting for him for a long time, couldn't wait any longer, wondering why this guy was so hesitant to get signed.The coach rushed to the sign-in office to arrest people in three steps at a time, grabbed Dylan's backpack strap and quickly tore him away.

Dylan put on his training clothes, put on his skates, and finally rushed to the ice rink to meet up with the players of their second group for a fun training together.

Dylan walked along the aisle to the entrance, the light turned from dark to bright, the conversation of the audience watching the joint music became louder and louder, and the figures of the players in the same group waiting in front became clearer and clearer, but he just With just a glance from a distance, it was possible to tell which of the scattered figures was from Xiyuan Temple.

With his back facing the entrance, Xiyuansi put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the wrap-around scoring display hanging above the stadium.The other players were either taking the time to do some simple warm-up moves, or talking to the coach. Only he, as if in a state of concentration, stared at the scoring screen motionlessly.Coach Ono suddenly called him, and he came back to his senses.The position of Ono Station was a little farther back, which allowed Dylan to see clearly the expression of Xiyuan Temple at that moment when he walked to the entrance.

Dylan saw the light shining in Xiyuan Temple's eyes again.

Happy, delighted, and curious, like a child in a place he has never been to, full of desire to explore and a little desire to conquer.He couldn't help shaking his body, showing a little playfulness in front of the coach.

Dylan heard Xiyuan Temple say something to Ono in an obviously upbeat tone. It was the first time he heard this tone from Xiyuan Temple's mouth, as if he had met a great happy event.It's a pity that Dylan doesn't understand Japanese, otherwise he would know that there is nothing special about what Xiyuanji said.

"I really love this place!" he said.

On the day of the free skating competition, the auditorium was surprisingly full, and the contestants were also in surprisingly good condition. Even the first group of contestants could have one or two ruthless cleans.I don’t know if Los Angeles has dug out ice makers from Japan or Canada this time. The ice surface is just right and soft.

This is a super excellent piece of ice!

After the short program, Dylan, Xiyuansi, and Song Liu ranked first, second, and third, and the free skating was the best opportunity for them to show their strength.

Song Liu of the Chinese team was the first to play in the second group and finished his program early.He really made it to 4A, and he did as Ono Matsuhei predicted before. Axel flew around at low altitudes, purely relying on tricks. Song Liu didn't win this time in the US station, and he didn't have the blessing of nationality. He was judged by the referee as Zhou The number was insufficient, and they were demoted to the group.

In this way, Song Liu, the United States, and Japan, the two competitive weapons, will be greatly reduced.

Xiyuan Temple played in front of Dylan.After the face-lifting of last season and the explosion in the previous French station, Xiyuan Temple has already entered the sight of the ice fans. When he appeared on the ice rink, the audience gave him no hesitation. Pretty enthusiastic cheers.They were looking forward to this new player, and they still held a certain mentality of fearing that the world would not be chaotic. Dylan had been on the men's singles podium for several seasons, and it was time someone came to treat him.

Coach Ono's mentality was not so relaxed. He frowned and looked at Xiyuan Temple, who had already started the game. Half of Ono's mind was concerned with his apprentice's state on the court, and the other half was thinking about what his apprentice said two days ago.

It was also the first time for Ono to see Xiyuanji express his complete excitement and happiness so openly. To be honest, this was not normal, and he was even a little worried that such excitement would affect his game.

Coach Ono's heart went up and down following every difficult movement of Xiyuan Temple on the court.

The opening 4Lz, GOE+2.

3A1Eu3S at the end of the first half, GOE+3.

The intermediate grading footwork finally reached the fourth level.

The difficulty of the second half jumps 4F3T, and the GOE execution score is also added to 2.

There are also three groups of rotations that are all graded four.

The drumbeat of the climax section finally played. Xiyuan Temple broke free from the graceful and self-confident state of the breeze coming from the front. The accent supporting the atmosphere.

The Xiyuan Temple in the US station is not as tender as the Xiyuan Temple in the French station. He saved the excitement he felt from the moment he entered the venue two days ago, and then put it all in this stage of choreographed footwork Let go.He found a critical point between the soft music and his own personal feelings, controlled himself, and did not forget the trend of the music and the program. He combined the two seemingly contradictory things together and gave the audience and the referee A free skating program with both tenderness and excitement.

Xiyuanji Zeming's free skate was clean, this time it was not superficially clean, it was completely without mistakes.

Ono Matsuhei let out a long sigh of relief. He looked at the doll that had scattered half of the ice rink, and finally felt relieved. After seeing the huge score given by the referee, he was completely relieved.

Still he was curious.

"What did you mean when you had fun together? What made you so excited?"

Xiyuan Temple said mysteriously while wiping his sweat: "Don't worry, I'll explain later, I'm waiting for the reporter to ask me."

In the mixed mining area, some reporters really asked similar questions.

"I watched your show during the French station. Your mood in the second half of today is completely different from that one. Today you look more excited. Can you tell me why?"

"I am really excited about this stop. First of all, I am very familiar with the city of Los Angeles. It is always very happy to play in a familiar place. In addition, what makes me excited is what this venue itself brings to me. StaplesCenter , the world's most famous NBA arena, sometimes it will be used by other sports, such as figure skating. I don't know much about basketball, but this will not hinder me at all from the moment I step into this arena. What I feel is what is left in competitive sports, maybe the sweat of the players, maybe the roar of the audience, maybe the whistle of the referee. They condense into the unique atmosphere in this stadium, and I really I really felt these things, they gave me a strange feeling, let me look at the charm of my programs and games from a new perspective, so I have today's free game that meets the standard in my heart skate show."

Dylan White also became excited. He couldn't hear the psychological confession of Xiyuan Temple in the mixed mining area, but he saw the clip of Xiyuan Temple near the end of the free skating.

He has three impressions of this free skating segment, one is the one he saw by chance when Vivienne was choreographing, the other is the one when Xiyuan Temple did not skate completely during Hele training two days ago, and One is now this time.

Now this time excites him the most.

Dylan's eyes were glued to Xiyuansi who was playing in the middle of the arena, his legs, his waist, and the tear mole at the end of his right eye in the slow-motion close-up.Dylan stared at every movement of his, the dance movements of his upper body, every arc of his feet, and then he pulled his eyes away from Xiyuan Temple, and imagined from the perspective of God that he left behind on the entire ice. In order to slide down the trajectory, his ice coverage must be high, and the shape must be perfect, and these can only be achieved under the precise control of the blade.

Dylan licked his lips, feeling a little parched.He felt that his picky eye was too accurate, and Xiyuanji Zeming was indeed a ruthless character.

Dylan personally found an enemy for himself on the field, an enemy that he couldn't stop, no matter when he was fighting for the gold medal or getting along in private.

Mr. White, who is well-known in the ice fan circle under the name of "conductor", still appeared on the stage in his iconic suit-style performance clothes as in previous seasons.

But today the conductor's baton can't point directly at people's hearts. The strength of the Western grand symphony is no match for the freshness and softness of the Japanese style. Dylan collapsed at his own doorstep.

Saiyuanji Zeming came from behind in the second short program and repeated the script of the French station. He succeeded in counterattack again and kicked Dylan White from the No.1 seat, and he reached the top of the podium that level.

Saiyuanji Zeming won the Tokyo finals with two championships.

The pattern of men's singles has finally begun to deviate from the script. Ice fans who are tired of watching "routine dramas" are finally interested in the direction of men's singles this season.

After the awards ceremony, when the champion, runner-up and third runner-up took a group photo, Dylan put his arms around Xiyuansi's waist for personal gain. He leaned into his ear and said, "Sure enough, the game with you is indeed much more interesting."
