Figure skating is more suitable for me to participate in the Olympics

After the test match, Zhang Jue packed his shoes and was about to go back to the hotel to rest when he heard someone calling him.

"Zhang Jue, we are going to have dinner, are you coming?"

Zhang Jue looked up and saw Huang Ying standing at the door waving at him, followed by Guan Lin, Jin Zixuan, Shi Mosheng, Fan Zhaoying, Mi Yuanyuan, and Lu Xiaorong.

Shi Mosheng is the initiator of this gathering. He explained: "Mi Yuanyuan and Lu Xiaorong were both promoted last year, and we both entered the adult group this year. The coach said that at least during the Sochi cycle, figure skating depends on us. If you keep it up, we will meet more often on the field in the future, so let's have a meal together."

Zhang Jue let out a groan, greeted Shen Liu, and walked away with his bag on his back.

When he was leaving, he found that Fan Zhaoying and Lu Xiaorong were still holding hands naturally, Zhang Jue rolled his eyes, moved to Huang Ying's side, and lifted his little finger without a trace.

"Yingying, who are they?"

Huang Ying winked, "They're both over 18, so it's not considered puppy love."

Zhang Jue: "I didn't say they fell in love early, but when did they get together? I remember that they are not from the same province."

Fan Zhaoying is from Province J, and Lu Xiaorong is from Province L. What's going on with these two?

Guan Lin smiled slightly, and leaned over to share gossip with Zhang Jue.

"At the time of the National Championships, Fan Zhaoying had been back to training for a while. He also went to watch the game. After dinner, we had a few dinners. During the dinner, Fan Zhaoying opened an inappropriate gender-related restaurant. Just kidding, Lu Xiaorong's expression changed and she immediately expressed her displeasure..."

Zhang Jue was puzzled: "I asked how they got together, not how they quarreled before."

Guan Lin waved his hand: "No noise, no noise. When Fan Zhaoying heard it, he also realized that he was wrong, and immediately apologized. We were all shocked by his straightforwardness. Then Fan Zhaoying explained that many boys in his school were joking like this. Lu Xiaorong He didn't know it was appropriate until he got angry, and said that it's not shameful to apologize immediately when he found out that he had done something wrong, and then they had a drink."

Huang Ying answered: "It's not wine, what they're doing is fruit juice. After finishing this glass of juice, the two of them kept chatting in the second half of the party and even exchanged phone numbers."

Chatting and chatting, these two people, um, everyone understands.

Huang Ying: "Sister Xiaorong said that Brother Fan apologized immediately and didn't think it was shameful. It shows that he is not a machismo, and he has no fatherly taste. After knowing him for a long time, he thinks that Brother Fan is very polite and well-bred. Brother Fan is also good-looking. So handsome, it is worthy of further development.”

Zhang Jue nodded: "I see."

When he was an idol trainee before, his agent told him that well-educated boys are very attractive to girls, especially when ghosts and snakes are running around on the Internet, and people keep making opposing comments, normal comments are all unreasonable. It looks very precious and pleasing.

[Agent: So Zhang Jue, you can't just point to some stupid remarks and scold your mother as soon as you have a sense of justice, and you have to retort gracefully, understand? 】

Anyway, in Zhang Jue's draft, there were trainees who bought water troops to hype up well-educated, high EQ, and 100% polite personalities, and gained 60 fans in two days.

It's a pity that the remarks mocking women as "curtain blades" were later exposed, and the recording was used as evidence, and the 60 followers immediately fell back. Just like this, when the scolded women released the recording, there was no shortage of groups on the Internet to mock " This woman has bad intentions when she goes out to eat with a voice recorder."

Of course, the child of a manager like Zhang Jue, who follows the three views to the extreme, knows that people who demand perfection from their victims and attack victims who are bad here and there are generally mentally problematic, otherwise it is impossible to explain why this person Instead of empathizing with the victim, empathize with the perpetrator.

But Fan Zhaoying is really well-bred in reality, and Lu Xiaorong seems to be pretty good with him... Anyway, it's better than Zhang Jue who didn't get out of the order before he died.

They went to Jingshen, bought seafood first, and then went to the stalls to cook.

The shop owner's garlic scallops are steamed very well, especially when they are sprinkled with their homemade chopped peppers. One bite, the delicious and spicy taste bursts out on the tip of the tongue, which is simply delicious.

It's a pity that as an athlete, he can't eat too much spicy food. Zhang Jue only ate two of them restrainedly, and then ate flower snails instead.

We are all athletes of the same event, so the topic of conversation is naturally inseparable from figure skating.

Shi Mosheng mentioned the selection of sub-stations.

"Only the top [-] in last season's World Championships can guarantee a place to participate in two sub-stations. The top three in the finals of last season's World Youth Championship and Youth Grand Prix can guarantee at least one sub-station. Those who are not doing well in the youth group can only accumulate points in a few B-level matches and increase the world ranking, so as to improve the success rate of applying for sub-stations."

"Zhang Jue, are you competing in Class B?"

Zhang Jue nodded: "I will go to the Canadian Autumn Cup."

Huang Ying grinned: "Brother Lin and I will also go, the coach told us to find the feeling of the senior group competition in the B-level competition."

Jin Zixuan snapped his fingers: "There are three wild cards in China. As long as we can apply for one race, and then use the wild card to participate in the China race, we will be able to participate in two races."

Only by participating in two sub-stations can one hope to accumulate enough points to participate in the finals.

Zhang Jue sipped the juice, and said simply: "I have already applied for the US station and Russia station, and I don't need a wild card."

The implication is that for the three wild cards, Jin Zixuan, Shi Mosheng, and Fan Zhaoying can compete with Dong Xiaolong, but Zhang Jue will not participate.

Shi Mosheng grinned at him: "Thank you so much."

Zhang Jue gave a thumbs up: "You're welcome."

Shen Liu was like this before, as long as he felt good, he would apply for two sub-stations, avoiding the competition of wild cards, and leaving a place for his family. This time, he reminded Zhang Jue to do so.

Is it the so-called first brother's responsibility?

After dinner, Fan Zhaoying said that he would take them to sing karaoke. Zhang Jue, as the king of singers, just entered the box and was pushed in front of the microphone. He was not polite, ordered a few rock songs and started singing, and then Fan Zhaoying and Lu Xiaorong sang love songs together , vigorously feeding everyone dog food, the scene was lively.

Because the coaches did not allow the children to go back too late, they played until nine o'clock. Fan Zhaoying continued to answer the phone calls from the coaches, promising to send the underage children back. Zhang Jue leaned on the side and sucked the sour plum soup .

It was summer, and ice cubes were added to the sour plum soup, which tasted very refreshing. Zhang Jue coughed a few times, and Huang Ying took the cup away.

"Zhang Jue, don't drink it. If your throat becomes inflamed, it will be inconvenient for you to take medicine."

Zhang Jue clutched his throat and nodded.

In fact, he didn't feel that his throat was uncomfortable, but when he woke up the next day, Zhang Jue found that his voice was indeed a little hoarse.

He didn't feel it at first, but when Zhang Jue opened his mouth and said "Auntie, get me a banana" when he finished his morning run and bought a banana on the way back, he realized something was wrong.

He coughed a few times, trying to clear his throat, but his voice was still hoarse.

At this moment, someone reminded him from the side: "Baby, don't cough, you are losing your position, oh no, change your voice, drink more water, and eat throat lozenges."

Zhang Jue turned his head and saw a grandfather, he was carrying a bag, narrow shoulders and waist, slender eyebrows and long eyes, he was clearly in his fifties, his temples were gray and gray, but his eyes could be described as clear and affectionate, and Zhang Jue always felt that his face looked strangely familiar.

But the uncle was right, Zhang Jue was reminded by him, and he also remembered that he had indeed arrived at this place.

age.

The child said thank you in a low voice, and left with a banana.

The old man stood at the same place, looked at Zhang Jue's back, and praised, "This figure is really good, singing is also good, and the foundation of the voice is good. It will be terrible after pouring the warehouse."

The fruit stall owner put a few pears on the scale: "Uncle Xu, do you know that kid?"

Uncle Xu replied: "It's the baby of the family. His father has to call me the second uncle, but the last time I saw the child, he was still breastfeeding in his mother's arms."

The stall owner joked: "I think this kid is good-looking, and he will be a character again if he is taught well."

Uncle Xu said: "People have already become horns, but not the horns of our profession."

Naturally, Zhang Jue didn't know what the old man he met by chance had anything to do with him. Changing his voice didn't mean he was growing tall. His knees didn't hurt, which meant that the period when he grew the most hadn't come yet, so he simply seized the time and worked hard to practice quadruple jumps.

The difficulty of any competitive event is constantly moving forward. Zhang Jue understands this clearly. He knows that if he wants to further improve his competitive level, he cannot only have one quadruple jump.

A quadruple jump can only be used twice in the program. If he has practiced a new quadruple, he can perform the third quadruple in the free skating.

他现在的4S3T已经大成，甚至连4S1lo3S的夹心跳都能做，教练组认为他的4S技术已经成熟，也支持他将4T的练习排上日程。

However, at this moment, everyone discovered a problem.

Zhang Jue, who is good at blade jumps, is actually unable to maintain the speed of blade jumps when jumping on point ice, and when challenging 4T as an ice point jump, his strength is not enough to support him to jump to complete 4T Degree.

Therefore, if Zhang Jue jumps high regardless of his strength, and tries his best to turn his body and jump out of a full 4T, then he will definitely not be able to land on the ice. To land on the ground, and then fall all over the ground and roll around.

To change these deficiencies, Zhang Jue must start weight training again, but the season has already started, if he gains weight now, whether Zhang Jue can keep his speed becomes a problem. If he does not increase, he will not be able to get out of 4T.

Zhang Junbao bit his finger: "It's a dead end."

Shen Liu pulled his hand aside: "Stop chewing, your nails are going to be bald, Xiaoyu can't figure out a solution to this problem in a short while, you see, there are no more than two types of quadruple jumps in the world. 3, Zhang Jue is still young, we don't need to worry for now."

Zhang Junbao lowered his voice and retorted hastily: "How can I not be in a hurry? You don't know that when we went to Beijing for training this time, Commander Sun told us that the superiors knew that the men's singles was going to rise, so they needed Xiaoyu to compare and strive to be in the men's singles." The World Championships brought back at least three places! And it became one of our medal points in Sochi. Coach Song also knew about this. Otherwise, why would we support Xiaoyu to practice 4T at this moment? Do you think I didn’t do it before? Do you know about his lack of strength?"

This year's World Championships, if Zhang Jue can get the top two, the Chinese men's singles will have three spots in next year's Sochi Winter Olympics, and if he can get into the top ten, he can only bring back two.

If Zhang Jue wins the top four and his teammates from the same country can also enter the top eight, the combined ranking of the two will be less than 13, and they will still be able to bring back three places for their home country.

The leaders don't expect Zhang Jue to fight for the World Championships in the first year of promotion, but hope that he can cooperate with his teammates to achieve the second method.

But here lies the problem. Apart from Zhang Jue, there are no domestic men's singles players who can reach the top eight in the World Championships, not even the top twelve. Not bad in terms of performance, but in the international arena, not only did they not have the same level of technical advantages as Shen Liu's back then, but their performance scores were also in the ordinary ranks. Whether they could give Zhang Jue assistance is completely unclear.

However, Asian players are still under pressure from time to time internationally. If Zhang Jue cannot establish a technical advantage, it will be impossible to compete for a brand in the senior World Championships.

When Zhang Jue heard the indicators given by the leader, he didn't show any expression at all, he just nodded obediently, but Zhang Junbao, who was listening, was under a lot of pressure.

The strength of winter events in our country is limited, but the superiors will always give indicators, such as how many gold medals, how many silver medals and so on. Sometimes it is not the leaders who want to put pressure on the athletes, but their superior leaders require them to achieve results. Then it's time to approve the budget.

Since the retirement of Jin Meng and Yao Lan in the first half of this year, Zhang Jue has become the main athlete promoted by the Sports Bureau in winter sports. Ice fans who pay attention to figure skating can clearly feel that he has always been placed in the most conspicuous position in the ice show. The location and resources in all aspects are also the most high-end in the winter projects.

And the higher-ups gave these things to Zhang Jue for results!

"Head Coach Song and Commander Sun are under a lot of pressure. Zhang Jue said he is fine, but I think he is trapped in a predicament of insufficient strength. How could he not be in a hurry? What can we do if these things affect his game state?"

Zhang Junbao thought that this matter was serious, but he didn't need to be in such a hurry if the leaders only gave a target. After all, the target was given every year, and he didn't say that it would be completed every time, and the superiors couldn't do anything to them.

But this time, the higher-ups gave resources first, and even stepped up the promotion of figure skating to warm up for the Winter Olympics, and then made the request. Even Commander Sun felt a lot of pressure on this operation.

Bang, Zhang Jue fell again.

Shen Liu looked at Zhang Jue's calm expression of patting his buttocks to get up, and put his arm around Zhang Junbao's shoulder.

"Brother, I know you care about Zhang Jue, but he is not that fragile, you have to trust him."

Zhang Junbao shook his head: "I now understand how much pressure you had in this position back then."

It is not easy to be the only seedling in the whole village. While everyone is precious, it also means that all the pressure must be borne by this seedling alone.
