Return to the top of the road to champions

When Shi Yang, who finally found Wan Xiaodong, rushed into the training hall at 11:30 in the evening, what he saw was a figure with a sweaty face still sliding on the ice.

At that moment, the shock and distress that Wan Xiaodong, who was concentrating on moving his legs forward and sprinting forward, brought Shi Yang could not be described in words.

Tao Wei, who was standing next to Shi Yang, silently looked at Wan Xiaodong, who was clearly stiff but still slid round and round, and sighed silently.

As early as two hours ago, when Shi Yang, who was in a panic, found out that Wan Xiaodong hadn't returned to the dormitory and found Tao Wei, Tao Wei already knew that the two had a dispute.

Tao Wei can understand Wan Xiaodong's mood, but Shi Yang's reluctance to leave Tao Wei is also clear. From his heart, Tao Wei also disagrees with Wan Xiaodong's eagerness to increase the amount of training. When Wan Xiaodong became fully committed, Tao Wei suddenly understood that in essence Wan Xiaodong was just like him, and would rather die in the game than give up.

The moment Tao Wei wanted to understand, Tao Wei's heart was pulled together fiercely, and he grabbed Shi Yang who wanted to go forward. When the heavy Shi Yang turned his head to look at Tao Wei, the calm Tao Wei looked at Shi Yang seriously, "Brother, let Xiaodong go."

The plain words shocked Shi Yang, and followed Tao Wei's gaze to look at Wan Xiaodong. Shi Yang, who was speechless for a long time, closed his eyes and nodded vigorously, "I see."

Taking a deep look at Wan Xiaodong again, Tao Wei left space for the pair of master and apprentice who depended on each other.

Didn't see Tao Wei's back that seemed to be bent in an instant as he left slowly, didn't see Tao Wei's heavy back, a pair of eyes hidden with deep love looked at Wan Xiaodong well, Shi Yang moved unusually heavy steps Approaching the ice rink, standing on the ice, Shi Yang took a deep breath and pulled Wan Xiaodong back.

Breathing heavily, Wan Xiaodong, whose sight was blocked by sweat, saw Shi Yang, gentle, calm and for the first time clearly felt the reluctance.

Wan Xiaodong, who pursed his lips, turned his head and looked aside, stubbornly remained silent and refused to look at Shi Yang, sighed, Shi Yang smiled helplessly, stretched out his strong arms, and hugged Wan Xiaodong, The stiff body in his arms made Shi Yang feel distressed, "Xiaodong, brother was wrong, brother is with you, no matter what you want to do, brother will be with you."

"If one day you really can't stand up, brother will be your foot and leg, if one day you are gone, brother will accompany you, no matter what, brother will not leave you and walk forward alone. "

The burning without exit, and Wan Xiaodong's suspicious inquiry, as if his whole heart had been torn apart, Shi Yang nodded with a smile while holding back his heartache, and Wan Xiaodong, who jumped up all of a sudden, jumped up to cheers. On Shi Yang, he raised his head and laughed loudly in the silent training hall.

Slowly tightening his arms, hugging the treasure of his life, Shi Yang's smiling eyes blocked the heavy sadness that seemed to be able to bury people.

But Tao Wei, who left the training hall, returned to the dormitory but couldn’t sleep for a long time. The figure of Wan Xiaodong sprinting with all his strength no longer flashed in front of his eyes, making Tao Wei’s chest dull pain. Tao Wei didn’t want to say what should be No, love is not an empty talk but a real step forward with blood.

Up to now, injuries will inevitably entangle Wan Xiaodong and him, and there is no other way to wait for them except to work hard.

Persistence became the only way to go, sleepless all night, at five o'clock the next morning, Tao Wei, who had slept for less than two hours, walked out of the dormitory wearing sportswear, standing in the big playground, looking at the sparse figures, Tao Wei Wei Wei let out a breath, took off his jacket, moved his body, stretched his stiff limbs, and Tao Wei began to run around the large training ground.

One lap, two laps, three laps, Tao Wei, who was trying to adjust his breathing, maintained a constant pace and officially started the recovery training. After ten laps, Tao Wei, who was sweating, stopped his sore legs and walked to the low ground. In front of the armrest, the slender right leg was raised and placed on the armrest.

Stretching his hands forward, Tao Wei, who grasped his toes, straightened his upper body and stuck it to his right leg. The straightened back was slightly tingling, but Tao Wei knew that his body, which was already stiff after two months of no training, had to be stretched as soon as possible. , In the constant rotation again and again, sweat continued to flow down the cheeks.

Just when Tao Wei, who was squatting on the sidelines, spread his legs and upper body on the ground, a pair of big hands pressed on Tao Wei's back. The familiar force and temperature made Tao Wei slightly raise his head. Ding Min's familiar face The face appeared in front of him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Teacher."

Nodding slightly, "Continue."

Ding Min, who only said a word, pressed his hands down, and held Tao Wei's back that was arched because of raising his head. Tao Wei, who smiled and gave a sigh of grace, fell down on the ground again, his upper body stretched straight and his legs forming a straight line. The legs met Ding Min's request without a trace of bending.

Time passed by, and when the two hours of ligament stretching was finally over, Ding Min pulled Tao Wei up, looked up and down, and looked at Tao Wei's waist with concern, "How is it? I can bear it." ?"

Patting himself on the back, Tao Wei, who was panting heavily, smiled and nodded, "No problem, thank you, teacher."

Shaking his head, Ding Min shifted his eyes to Tao Wei's wet cheek, "Tao Wei, the teacher has three months. During these three months, I will stay here and do recovery training for you."

Looking at Ding Min who was full of concern, Tao Wei took a deep breath quietly, and after saying thank you again, the two left the training ground hand in hand.

And when Tao Wei accompanied Ding Min to leave the training ground with a faint smile, in the training ground No. In Tao Wei's big eyes, there are puzzlement, envy, and a hint of annoyance and carelessness.

"Feifei, let's go."

The shout that sounded in the distance made the girl look away and pull the corners of her mouth to reveal a big smile. Her innocent and sweet smile revealed a sense of innocence and sweetness. She rushed to her teammates and first smiled at the captain Chen Xiao who was waiting at the gate of the training ground. After a while, she hugged her sister who had always cared and loved her.

"Geng Feifei, Fei Yihan, you go to the cafeteria."

Chen Xiao, who glanced at Geng Feifei, had a gentle voice with impatience that no one could notice. He nodded slightly, and Chen Xiao turned around and left immediately. Geng Feifei, who asked Tao Wei carefully, knew that Tao Wei had returned, and at the same time, Fei Yihan, who was envious, also said that the woman who accompanied Tao Wei was a national super dancer, Ding Min, a professor of the Dance Department of the Central Conservatory of Music.

At that moment, Geng Feifei's eyes lit up, the speaker was unintentionally listening, Fei Yihan just envied Tao Wei for getting the best resources, but Geng Feifei believed that as long as she was given a chance, she would not be inferior to Chen Xiao and Tao Wei .

Of course, Tao Wei didn't know all of this. After breakfast, Tao Wei followed Ding Min and Yang Guocheng directly to the only small training ground in the entire sports base, No. [-] training ground. The closed training ground was moved to Tao Wei by the director of the base. , Tao Wei will conduct separate training here.

At the same time that Tao Wei started the basic training, those who put on the weight bag started the arduous training of basic skills, such as gliding with one foot in curves, supporting with both feet in curves, ice kicking with one foot, and pressing steps in sharp turns Practice, ice skating and jumping practice, curve dumping practice, curve skating arc practice, opposite direction curve gliding practice (clockwise gliding), single-foot three-curved edge gliding practice, side kicking practice, trailing gliding practice.

A series of basic skills exercises can be said that Wan Xiaodong has to start from the beginning, but Wan Xiaodong knows that these seemingly simple exercises have a stable effect on his declining performance.

Standing on the ice, Wan Xiaodong, bent over and knees, repeated step by step and persisted. The injured ligament and meniscus brought a great burden to Wan Xiaodong's body during training, and at the same time increased the burden. What's more is the pair of five-pound weight bags on the legs.

Although he put on the weight bag, Shi Yang reduced the weight by half. Although he was a little dissatisfied, Wan Xiaodong knew that at this stage, he would directly add ten catties. His body, at least his injured meniscus, could not bear it. No matter how anxious and helpless, Wan Xiaodong could only accept it.

One morning, after four hours of basic skills training, Wan Xiaodong, whose legs were trembling, went to the sidelines and sat down on the stool, "How is it?"

While hanging the towel on top of Wan Xiaodong's head, Shi Yang quickly untied the weight bags on Wan Xiaodong's legs, massaging Wan Xiaodong's swollen legs, Wan Xiaodong took off the towel to cover his face, and swallowed it back. His legs ached from the massage, he shook his head, "It's fine."

Panting heavily, Wan Xiaodong pulled off the towel and wiped the sweat off his face vigorously. He raised his head and glanced at Wan Xiaodong whose face was flushed. .

After the 10-minute massage, the tired Wan Xiaodong was pulled up, and the two of them walked out of the training ground together. On the way, they met Tao Wei who had just left the training ground. I have lost feeling in my back, and my stiff body makes my injured lumbar spine ache.

They smiled at each other, and without mentioning a word of training, several people rushed to the cafeteria together, took a meal, ate a late lunch, and took an hour's rest. Tao Wei, who entered the training hall again, put on his own skates.

Tao Wei, who slid a few laps, was constantly looking for the lost feeling in the speed. Slowly, in the music played at an unknown time, Tao Wei, who narrowed his eyes slightly, found the fit of being familiar with ice.

Ma Deming, who was standing on the sidelines, was slightly relieved by the joyful expression of Tao Wei, who unconsciously soothed his brows with the slightly cheerful music.

After finding the missing fit, Tao Wei, stepping on the beat, first performed three turns, left front outside-left back inside, flexible feet continuously turned three times, and Tao Wei, who was turning rapidly, jumped high, 3s, back inside After the triple axel, spinning rapidly, Tao Wei, whose back was obviously stiff, staggered and pressed his legs on the ice with one hand at the moment of landing on the ice.

The rear inner triple axel, which was the second-to-last difficulty factor, ended with a mistake. Ma Deming on the sidelines locked his eyebrows again, and Ma Deming knew that Tao Wei's lumbar spine still affected Tao Wei.

Tao Wei, who stood up again, frowned slightly, recalling the moment just now, when spinning in mid-air, his waist was obviously stiff, and Tao Wei, who closed his eyes, smiled again, and Tao Wei, who started sliding again, a series of rocker Finally, he threw it high again, but Ma Deming could see that Tao Wei's take-off, whether it was height, speed or strength, had declined.

Although Tao Wei only swayed a bit when the ice fell, everyone present understood that the unstoppable decline was finally coming.

Tao Wei, who stopped sliding and came to the sidelines, raised his eyes to look at Ma Deming with a dignified face, "Teacher, put a bandage on me to fix my lumbar spine."

Tao Wei who whispered his request made Ma Deming's heart tremble. He silently looked at Tao Wei with a calm face. When he calmed down, Ma Deming lowered his eyes with his persistent eyes, turned around and opened Tao Wei's backpack, and took out a palm The wide bandage walked in front of Tao Wei.

Squatting down, the palm-width straps were tightly tied to Tao Wei's waist, moving the waist that was instantly comfortable because of the fixation, Tao Wei smiled, and after making a victory gesture to Ma Deming, signaled for the music to resume. start.

The cheerful track "Rush Forward" sounded in the huge training hall, and Tao Wei, with a bright smile on his face, seemed to have returned to the 2000 World Championships.

Tao Wei, who improvised, did not start with three turns, but rockers. After a series of rockers, Tao Wei, brimming with joy, took off directly. The spirit in mid-air is like a flying butterfly.

There was a muffled sound of swiping, and the moment the ice fell, the right foot was connected, and the sound of the music became more and more cheerful. Robust ice fall also uses the loop.

The rare and unique loop made the eyes of Ma Deming and others standing on the sidelines brighten. Although the whole set of improvisation did not have a quadruple jump, it perfectly integrated all the steps into the dance, and the ingenious performance was deeply shocked. It was the first time that Ding Min saw Tao Wei's performance so intuitively.

Feeling the beauty of ice for the first time made Ding Min fall into contemplation, spinning, jumping, and even the perfectly connected steps made Ding Min feel a little bit moved.

Taking another deep look at Tao Wei who was panting a little after completing a whole set of movements, Ding Min finally knew how amazingly beautiful his little apprentice was.

The music stopped, but Tao Wei, who was panting heavily, fell silent. Ma Deming, who didn't know why, looked at Tao Wei, who was bowing his head and meditating in the field, "Tao Wei?"

Ma Deming, who yelled, saw Tao Wei raised his eyes and looked over, and stretched out his hand to signal the start of the music. Tao Wei's sweaty body moved again the moment the music started.

After turning three times from left to right covering half of the ice surface, Tao Wei, who took off again, jumped up vigorously, his tall but heavy body turned rapidly in mid-air, one lap, two laps, three laps, four laps, and barely completed the 4t rear outer space. The smile on Tao Wei's face who jumped around on the ice has long since disappeared. The moment he landed on the ice, Tao Wei, who crossed his left and right legs and staggered, fell directly on the ice.

Because of his uncontrollable body, the bent ice blade of his left leg slashed across the back of Tao Wei's hand supporting his body, stabbed once, and the blood spurted out shocked Ma Deming and others present at the scene.

Looking down at the blood flowing down the back of his hand, Tao Wei closed his eyes helplessly, "Tao Wei."

Ma Deming, who rushed to the field with the shouts, rushed to the field first, grabbed Tao Wei and ran out. After being grabbed by Yang Guocheng, Ma Deming, who barely waited until Tao Wei took off his skates, grabbed Tao Wei's body wrapped in a towel. With his right hand, he rushed to the infirmary, and the towel he took off was already soaked in blood. After wiping and cleaning, the opened flesh and blood appeared in front of everyone.

Taking a breath, Ding Min covered his mouth to block the exclamation that reached his mouth, while Tao Wei just glanced at the flesh and blood on the back of his hand indifferently. Brain played back the 4t just now, put on anesthesia and sewed up seven stitches Tao Wei left the infirmary.

Ma Deming, who was walking beside Tao Wei, looked anxious and angry at Tao Wei who had been silent all along, and grabbed Tao Wei who raised his feet and walked towards the training hall again, "Tao Wei."

Ma Deming yelled loudly, causing Tao Wei, who was lost in thoughts, to blink his confused eyes. The puzzled eyes made Ma Deming's breathing stagnate. He raised his head and gestured for a long time, but he was not willing to let go, "Go back and rest."

Tao Wei smiled helplessly when Ma Deming said in a deep voice, raised his gauze-wrapped right hand and waved it nonchalantly, "Teacher's hand injury is not a problem."

As soon as Tao Wei's voice fell, Ma Deming's face became more and more gloomy, "Tao Wei goes back to rest."

Silently watching Ma Deming with an ugly face, Tao Wei sighed and put away the faint smile on his face, "Teacher, there is no time, I must recover as soon as possible."

A passage that was uttered softly has a weight that can make people breathless. I don’t know what Tao Wei said about Ma Deming. Okay."

With unspeakable distress, Ma Deming held down Tao Wei, and looked at Ma Deming with clear eyes without flinching, and his persistence without retreating or making a sound made Ma Deming's heart burn with pain.

After a stalemate with each other for a long time, Tao Wei smiled in the slowly loosened arms, turned around and strode towards the training hall in the distance. Only distressed.

Day after day, toughness training in the morning and ice in the afternoon, the [-] hours of training per day has grown to [-] hours today.

Five months have passed, and Tao Wei's state has finally climbed to the peak in constant jumps. In the music, Tao Wei, who was impeccable in the music, finished the whole song in four and a half weeks. Tao Wei, who was strong in World War I, showed a long-lost smile.

And at the same time that Tao Wei finally had the strength to fight, Wan Xiaodong, who participated in the selection competition, also won the heavy admission ticket as No.1.

The moment Wan Xiaodong got the tickets for the Winter Olympics, he grinned happily. Shi Yang smiled and raised his thumbs up with a smile full of joy. In five months, Wan Xiaodong's average training time reached an astonishing [-]. For hours, the tormented Shi Yang returned to the dormitory from the training hall with Wan Xiaodong, who was completely weak, on his back. Every time he put Wan Xiaodong, who had fallen asleep due to exhaustion, on the bed, Shi Yang felt a deep feeling in his heart. With a deep sense of powerlessness, Shi Yang, who knew Wan Xiaodong was so cruel for the first time, thought of Tao Wei's harsh evaluation of him that the team members had vaguely mentioned.

But no matter how impatient he is in his heart, Shi Yang, besides supporting him, still supports him. Shi Yang, who has done all the logistics support and constantly revises the training plan, will hate himself for being powerless every time he sees the training outline handed out by his subordinates.

Five months and more than 150 days, Wan Xiaodong lost weight, and Shi Yang also lost weight. The master and apprentice who walked together with each other finally broke through the difficulties and got the tickets for the Winter Olympics. Wan Xiaodong knew clearly that getting tickets was just the beginning, not the end.
