wipe the ice and fire

The free skating started on the second day as scheduled.Although he is ranked fifth, he is only a few points away from the rest of the players. That is to say, as long as the free skating performance is normal, he has every chance to break the audience's expectations for this competition and stand on the podium.

This kind of thinking also aroused Du Qingshao's desire to win.When the first group of matches started, they were temporarily arranged in a dedicated channel, and the LCD screen on the wall was broadcasting the live broadcast of the athletes on the field.

The data on the electronic screen is constantly scrolling and refreshing.He usually would not choose to pay too much attention to the situation of other players before the game, but at this moment he couldn't help but glance there, and even slowed down the warm-up.

Seeing this, Ma Jiabo smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't look at it. Will this not affect the state?"

"It doesn't matter," he took off the earphones, "their strength and performance are not as good as mine."

"It seems that I'm worrying too much." Ma Jiabo blinked in surprise, and said with a smile, "But don't put too much pressure on yourself, and listen to music for a while."

"You still look at the children." Du Qingshao retorted dissatisfiedly, before the second half of the sentence came out, the staff had already started to arrange to enter the venue, so he could only swallow the long talk and tell him in the simplest way Come on.

The atmosphere in the hall was obviously different, and even the audience's applause filled the air with an inexplicable smell of gunpowder.The total score of the six players in the previous game was scrolled on the big screen, and there was no threatening dark horse player, everything was as expected.

The most intense medal battle kicked off among the last six contestants.The rest of the players are all in their 20s, well-known on the international stage, and have accumulated experience for several seasons.From all aspects, compared with them, Du Qingshao is indeed a child who is so tender that he can pinch water.

He can actually feel that he is a little impetuous today, and he has been looking for a state during the 6-minute warm-up.No matter how successful the star players around him were and how loud their cheers were, he would concentrate on practicing himself.Several attempts were successful, which gave him a lot of confidence.

The sixth training ended soon, and the first player started the competition.The soundtrack of the free skating is selected from the movie "Twilight", which is a unique program.

Du Qingshao warmed up with a little dance on the sidelines. He didn't intend to pay attention to other people's situation, but he was disturbed by the continuous exclamation on the court.

The quadruple hook jump with the highest degree of difficulty landed successfully on the ice, followed by a 3A+2T jump that was also completed very gracefully. The score on the screen jumped up slowly, reaching more than 20 points in an instant.

Even if he couldn't hear the broadcast commentary at the scene, Du Qingshao could completely imagine how others would evaluate such a game. He watched the scores on the screen constantly refresh, and his eyes froze.

"Don't look!" Ye Feihong pulled him to his side and whispered, "Think about your own actions and don't worry about others."

That player's game has come to an end, and despite some mistakes later on, ice fans from all over the world are still cheering and applauding for him with great enthusiasm.

At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause, which seemed to indicate that all his ambitions had been successfully put into reality.

"Only by seeing your opponent's strength can you find your target and position." Du Qingshao quickly regained his composure, glanced at the field, and shrugged nonchalantly, "My strength is no worse than him."

After speaking, he leaned over to take the knife sheath, and hit the coach on the shoulder twice, giving him a relaxed look.

The contestant from country S did not perform well in the short program, and was behind Du Qingshao by 4 points.This set of free skating obviously arranged the highest degree of difficulty that he could achieve, and it was clear that he wanted to restore the original disadvantage and attack the podium.

The score came out quickly, and it really lived up to expectations. The free skating scored 172.03, and currently ranks first with a total score of 252.63.

This is definitely a result that can hit the podium in the sub-station of the Grand Prix.

Du Qingshao circled along the baffle, suddenly slowed down after hearing his results, touched the small gourd on his wrist, raised the corners of his mouth, and whistled lightly.

Soon, the broadcast sounded over the empty gymnasium. Hearing his name, he immediately raised his arms in cooperation, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, smiled at the audience outside the stadium, and then lowered his head to prepare for it.

"It seems that our young player has not been affected by the opponent's overwhelming score. I hope he can play at the level of training. Let us look forward to his performance." The commentator seemed a little surprised.

The tragic and heavy melody sounded, and Du Qingshao looked up at the auditorium in line with the music, performing the shock and grief of not being able to hear the sound.After a short performance, he began to walk around the field, preparing to jump.

trust yourself.This is the simplest and most powerful psychological hint he gave himself in a few seconds.

Turn the three changing blades, turn the body, and touch the ice.The first jump 4F successfully landed on the ice, splashing a large amount of ice fog.Followed by a 4T+3T jump, this time there was no mistake, and because of his excellent high distance, he almost spanned half of the ice rink.

He was a little nervous at first, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time, and Du Qingshao's confidence instantly increased.Before, he felt that Luo Ming's choreography was too gentle, but now that he got excited, he almost forgot all the main points of what he said before, and poured out all his grief, anger and struggle according to his own ideas.

The performance in the first half was almost perfect. In the second half, Axel, who was not very stable in training, still failed in the triple axel.But Du Qingshao had already put these little episodes behind him at this moment.

He opened his arms and hugged the entire ice rink with a big letter.The sound of the wind whizzed past my ears, and everything turned into blurred light and shadow.All he heard was applause, and only the affirmation and blessings from the audience.

Everyone was looking at him and cheering for him.

When the audience is still applauding for others, they don't know that a lion is ready to go.At this moment, he is the focus of the world, the king of his own world.

He enjoys this feeling very much.

The insolent and aggressive movements have completely lost the shadow of the great man who vowed to choke fate by the throat.Even Costen, who is dressed in European classical charm, still looks more like a lion that has been hungry for days and nights, choking the throat of food, and occupying the mountain as king on the vast prairie.

After finishing the final closing movement, the scene was full of voices and thunderous applause.Du Qingshao wiped off his sweat, leaned over to salute the audience, his sweaty face still couldn't hide his joy.He picked up a doll at random, and skating a small circle around the field. After interacting with the ice fans enough, he remembered that there were still players to compete next.

Ye Feihong, who had witnessed the whole game, wished he could rush in and pick him up, and said with a sullen face, "You really are, you don't even listen to music, you know how to slip!"

"Shrimp slippery? What shrimp slippery?" Du Qingshao's brain lacked oxygen, so he didn't react for a while.

Ye Feihong was at a loss for words, and tried hard to withdraw his hand that wanted to hit someone.

"I'm doing pretty well, why do you have this expression." He patted the coach's shoulder, took the knife case and sat down in the waiting area.

The scores for this game came very slowly. Du Qingshao watched the jump replay and smiled naturally at the camera.

Finally, his grades sounded on the radio—technical score 91.30, program content score 81.78, total score 257.81, temporarily ranking first with a three-point advantage!

It was a score that would almost allow him to hit the podium.

"Nice!" He snapped his fingers excitedly, regardless of his image.

Ye Feihong warned in a low voice: "What are you proud of? Look at your P score. You have practiced hundreds of times in vain before? You are simply an emotionless jumper. If you make a few more mistakes, it will be too late to cry now!"

"Isn't this a mistake? I'm so excited today, I'll pay attention next time." Du Qingshao summed it up lightly, and picked up the plush doll to interact with the camera.

The 17-year-old boy has not yet learned to restrain his emotions, and the sadness and joy are written on his face.Ye Feihong took a few deep breaths and didn't want to talk to him anymore: "Calm down later and enjoy the performances of the seniors."

At the same time, the choreographer who just woke up from a nap on the other side of the mainland showed the same expression as the coach.Luo Ming was wearing a nightgown and sitting lazily on the carpet.

Du Qingshao's last smug smile was frozen on the huge LCD screen.

He gathered the pajamas that had almost slipped off his shoulders, turned around and buried his head in the sofa.This was the first time he watched a live broadcast since he fell ill, and he followed Du Qingshao in fear for 4 minutes, feeling a dull pain in his chest.

"Are you not feeling well?"

"It's okay." He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "I'm mad at him."

What kind of Beethoven's praise, just call it an angry Beethoven.

After working hard to teach him for more than a month, the result is that he interpreted classical music into disco.Luo Ming suddenly felt like a failure, and even suspected that he didn't have the slightest talent to be a teacher.

Du Qingshao didn't take it seriously, he sat in the waiting room for a long time, but he still couldn't get himself out of the emotion of the game.But there is no doubt that he is the dark horse that broke out in this game, and his perfect performance pushed the competition for the top three to an unpredictable climax.

It may be that they really saw the formidable strength of the younger generation, and there was a deviation in their mentality. The latter two failed to maintain the advantage of the short program. On the contrary, Ma Jiabo, his senior brother who had been with him day and night, played steadily and came in second.

The highest score was refreshed again and again, and the champion finally fell on Nagakawa Himuro from country R without any suspense.

The final score box popped up and the game was settled.Du Qingshao finally retained the advantage he had come all the way, ranked third with a score of 255.81, and won the first small medal in the first round of the adult group.

Of course, what makes Chinese ice fans even more crazy is that one day two national flags will be hoisted in the men's singles arena of figure skating.Although it is only a sub-station of a tour, it undoubtedly declares the vigorous development of ice and snow sports in our country.

This is a golden age.

"Congratulations on your victory in the first battle. What is your next goal?"

"On the podium of the finals." He replied without thinking.

Luo Ming listened to the post-match interview with half-guessing, took a sip of black tea from the delicate porcelain, and turned to the housekeeper, "Are there any tickets left?"

The butler was overjoyed: "Of course, the organizing committee sent you two VIP tickets before."

"No need for that, book me a ticket close to the safe exit." In this way, even if there is an accident, the impact on the game can be minimized.

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

Luo Ming shook his head, lowered his head to think for a moment, and continued to ask: "Can you apply for another pass for me?"

"Of course. You're the sponsor's son anyway."

"I don't want to use this identity to the outside world." He took another sip of tea, put the cup on the table, and made a sound, as if reminding something, "Do you understand what I mean?"

The housekeeper smiled absentmindedly: "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense on the master's side."

Luo Ming raised his water-blue eyes and looked at him calmly for a moment, then lowered his head and hid his eyes in the golden hair.

According to Du Qingshao's character and level, sooner or later, he will stumble.He had to find a way to meet him before the game if necessary.
