An Athlete Held up by an Entertainment Career

Chapter 16: Take off, take off, drop ice

Views:

In the system space, Yu Nian is studying the figure skating course.

The flow speed in the space will be much slower than the outside world, and Yu Nian has completed the learning of basic footwork and rotation here.

His posture on the ice is already quite comfortable, and the uncomplicated footwork between the slides reveals calmness and confidence.

At this time, the female coach was holding his hand and stepping on the skates parallel to him, so that he could better appreciate this posture.

Yu Nian was practicing half-circle sliding on the inner edge of the front foot. The coach led him to kick the ice with the inner edge of his right foot, and make an arc with the inner front edge of his left foot.

Their bodies leaned slightly inside the circle, smoothly forming a semi-circular arc. Between skating, the female coach said: "You have a very good ballet skills, which is good."

"What are the basic skills of ballet? It's control, the transformation of body posture and center of gravity, dance posture, spatial awareness, lines, and movement texture."

Her voice is sweet and graceful, and every movement of her arms and joints makes her glide across the ice like a real ballet dancer.

"The core is control, the shifting of the center of gravity. Familiar? This is also a requirement of figure skating, so I say you have a high starting point."

"Of course, it's not just the help that ballet brings to you, but also the effective improvement brought by longboard training."

"You have a unique advantage in control and center of gravity shifting. This comes from your talent and repeated strengthening training. This absolute control of your center of gravity allows you to slide quickly and maintain this changing center of gravity. balance."

Saying that, she led Yu Nian to increase the speed of sliding.

In the absolutely professional course of the system, Yu Nian's ice kick execution ability is very standard, which allows him to move on the ice with less kicks, and the connection looks extremely smooth even after acceleration.

The coach's eyes swept to his stretched limbs: "As for expressiveness - young man, even if you just raise your arms and do nothing, you have the ability to attract everyone's attention. You know, your limbs, your every The expression is already a wonderful ice dancer."

She asked, "Did you choose "Soul of the Rose"?"

Yu Nian was a little dazed, and stopped for a moment before answering her question: "Yes, "Soul of the Rose"."

"Excellent ballet, I'll help you choreograph a set that matches your current skill level."

"But, boy, what are you thinking at the moment?"

Yu Nian smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was distracted."

The coach smiled and shook his head, slowing the speed that led him to slide.

Her voice was soft and warm: "I know, I know. When you conquer the first limit, you want the second."

"The longboard makes your heart beat, and you seem to love the challenge, don't you?"

Yu Nian was startled.

The coach continued to slow down until he stopped the slide holding his hand.

"So, do you want to try it?"

The coach with a beautiful face and elegant temperament smiled and asked.

Yu Nian remembered that when he first entered the system space, the strong longboard coach also smiled and asked, "Do you want to try it?"

So he experienced the thrill of downhill for the first time, followed by falling into a cliff.

The feeling of weightlessness and rapid fall is still engraved in his heart, so he can make every action as perfect as possible and reduce the probability of mistakes.

"In the first lesson, mistakes will cost your life." The longboard coach's words seemed to ring in his ears again.

Yu Nian looked at the white ice rink under his feet, he already understood the dangerous trap hidden in the words of the female coach.

But he does want to try.

The coach released his hand.

"I told you about the six jumps."

During the training break, the coach explained to him the decomposition of the six types of jumps in figure skating, including the posture when taking off, the use of the blade and so on.

He also tried jumping on land.

Ballet is the art of jumping and spinning. After unlocking the dance restrictions, Yu Nian felt that his flexibility and core strength had increased, which allowed him to easily perform the ballet jumping movements he learned before reading the book.

When I started to try jumping in figure skating, regardless of the standard of the movement, it was really not difficult for Yu Nian to look at the process of running on land, jumping into the air, and turning 90 degrees to half a circle.

The transition from half a week to a week, a week and a half, can still be completed, until the number of weeks increased to two weeks, he felt the difficulty.

Figure skating jumps are more often backwards, because the backwards direction is easier to gain speed on the ice. Jumping requires a slip to gain speed, and most of the jumps take off in the backward direction.

A jump, however, is an exception.

The A jump, also known as the Axel jump, is the only jump among the six jumps in figure skating that takes off forward, so it turns half a circle in the air more than other jumps.

Therefore, with the same number of weeks, the A jump is the most difficult of the six jumps.

Even the world's top figure skating men's singles are not a small challenge when they perform the Axel triple jump, which is 3A.

However, it varies from person to person.

When Yu Nian was not on the ice, he only tried a few one-week jumps from the land, but he felt that the only forward jump, the A jump, would be easier. physical habit.

Of course, after rising to two weeks, this feeling subsided instantly.

The coach said: "Our jumping practice on ice has always been conservative. Considering your performance task, we have always focused on the practice of sliding footwork and rotation."

"But there's a little wolf growling in your heart. You always want to be your best."

"Your attempt on land went well, but what about on ice?"

The coach exited the ice rink and left this space to Yu Nian.

"Your greatest strength is that you can always try without fear."

Try unreservedly, so you can firmly remember the price of error.

Yu Nian heard her distant voice that was close to her ears: "Skate, cushion, take off, fly, and drop. Let me see how far you can do it."

He looked at the snow-white ice rink, with traces of arcs from his slide.

The skates carved his footprints on the ice, but there was nothing missing.

What is missing is the ice flower that the ice blade bursts out on the ice at the moment of jumping into the air and then landing firmly.

Those ice flowers will reflect the sunlight and exude agility full of vitality.

This is the art of ice and snow, the beauty of being cold and pure.

Yu Nian took a deep breath, he knew the price of taking the risk.

But as the coach said, his greatest strength is that he can always try without fear.

Just like when he was a beginner, he fell into the abyss, but he still woke up from the abyss.

He raised his eyelashes and moved his body.

With the help of sliding to gain speed, after a long assist skating, he glided in an arc with the right rear outer edge, kicked the ice with the left front outer edge and jumped forward, clasping his arms in the air against his chest and turning.

"Greedy little guy." The coach chuckled and shook his head after seeing his take off.

She could see from the jump that Yu Nian was trying 2A.

However, when Yu Nian took off, he found that his left blade was seriously slipping, which made him miscalculate the timing of the jump. The moment he took off, he realized that his axis was crooked, and then he fell heavily on the ice.

Severe pain came from the ankle.

This made Yu Nian's face pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, nose, and back, and his forehead and training clothes were soaked in an instant.

He knew his tendons and ligaments must have been pulled and ruptured.

"Bad take-off, bad takeoff, bad landing." The female coach commented unceremoniously.

"Do you feel the difference between the ice surface and the land? You can successfully complete the A-jump by running on the land, thanks to your current good physical fitness and profound ballet skills."

"But on land and on ice are two completely different things, and jumping is very demanding and stressful on the knees, ankles and hips."

"A 3A at a normal height, or other triple quads and quads, at the moment when the ice falls, your knees and ankles have to bear about seven to eight times your body weight. 2A has already made you so, then the back Woolen cloth?"

She asked in a warning tone: "Does it hurt? So are you still trying?"

"Pain." Yu Nian murmured, he never concealed his pain.

Then he looked up at the serious face of the female coach.

"But don't you want me to say, 'Yes' the answer."

There was also a thin layer of sweat on his eyelashes, like a mist.

The coach looked at him, slightly surprised.

At this time, Yu Nian felt that the pain simulated by the system in the ankle gradually subsided until it completely subsided.

He blinked his eyelashes, and the sweat gathered on the eyelashes dripped down the tip of the eyelashes onto the ice.

The pain subsided, but the brain seemed to remember the pain in the bone marrow, and there seemed to be some remnants of the pain.

After a long time, the female coach said, "You know, you are an adult, and figure skating, like ballet, relies on boy skills. You are an adult, so no matter how hard you work, your limit is 2A."

She looked at Yu Nian and suddenly smiled: "But, what is the limit? The reason why the limit exists is to break it."

"Are you ready to take on new missions and take on new challenges?"

At this point, the voice of the female coach and the voice of the strong longboard coach overlapped.

Yu Nian wiped the sweat from his eyelashes: "Yes, I'm ready."

The designer in charge of Kosten did not send the old Kosten until the day before the official recording of the All-Star Games.

When he saw this Kosten with red as the main color, Yu Nian knew that he had perfectly reproduced the pattern he drew.

The designer's eyes are blue and black: "To be honest, I don't know how you will perform in this game, but when I see you, I can imagine what the rose soul should look like."

"According to the pattern you drew, I stayed up several nights sewing bead and pink diamonds on it, the original red was too saturated, I re-sewed the chiffon white gauze on the fabric - now this is how beautiful ?"

He showed Yu Nian the appearance of Costeng's unrecovered autumn clothes, extending down from the shoulders and collar, with a large rose pattern sewn with bead embroidery and pink diamonds.

It was a rose under the twilight painted by Yu Nian himself. Delicate, brilliant rose bushes.

The gaudy feeling brought by the original high-saturated red is lightly covered with layers of folded white gauze, adding a hazy and elegant look.

Yu Nian took this Costen and sincerely thanked: "Thank you very much."

The designer shook his head: "No, this was originally just a boring and perfunctory task. It was you who inspired me to create. Your talent and charm made these overnight nights pleasant and romantic."

"He's an elf, a dream, and I look forward to seeing you on the ice wearing this Costen."

It will be the most eye-catching existence on the snow-white ice.

The next day, the All-Star Games figure skating event officially began recording.

The recording location is the ice rink under the program package.

Yu Nian changed into Costen in the changing room and put on his training jacket.

When he walked out of the dressing room, he happened to bump into Ji Yuheng.

Ji Yuheng also replaced Kosten. It is said that his mother, who was born in an art troupe and has good dance skills, personally found someone to design it.

It is also dominated by red, and the simple and flexible design fully shows his good figure.

Yu Nian passed him by the wrong side, and Ji Yuheng turned to look at his back in the training suit.

Two rose souls.

Ji Yuheng thought of the scene where he fell and Yu Nian pulled him.

The person under him had black hair and very white skin, and the moment when he lay on the ice was very strong.

Maybe you should have reservations when you perform? In this way, at least Yu Nian will not be too embarrassed.

Ji Yuheng came up with this idea.

Outside the ice rink, spectators participating in the recording are entering the arena one after another, handing in mobile phones and other electronic video recording equipment at the request of the staff.

The ice rink is not big, and it can accommodate less than 200 spectators in total, but there are not many people coming over, and only 200 seats are not full.

During the same period, popular track and field events and swimming events are being recorded, and the recording is in the city gymnasium. The venue is larger, and there are many more spectators participating in the recording.

In contrast, this ice rink looks very bleak.

After all, it is an unpopular project in itself, and the participants are still a group of scumbags, so naturally it will not attract people.

If it wasn't for Ji Yuheng's popularity recently, and a group of fans came to support, the number would be even smaller.

Coach Chen Hua saw a group of little girls sitting on the seats with banner support items and shook his head.

Now that he understands it, he is too lazy to tangle with the show team about his own sports and competitive spirit theory.

That's it, let these little stars play the role of entertainers, even if they play a role in popular science, it is always useful.

The little girls sat down in the stands holding the support objects on the wall of their homes, and glanced at them. These support objects were concentrated on a few artists, among which Ji Yuheng had the most banners.

There are more than 200 star artists participating in the All-Star Games, and it is very difficult to recognize people.

A lot of little mummies expect to make their mark in this variety show, but in fact they are destined to be Luye from the beginning. In this variety show, there are a few key artists to be admired. It is not that you can get ahead if you work hard and win the championship in the competition. The lens can't give you the highlights, and that's okay.

It is a sports meeting, but it is a sports meeting attended by celebrities, and it still implements the set of rules of the entertainment industry.

It is said to be a competition, but it is actually a variety show. The audience is very clear in their own minds. How can they really watch the competition? Why not watch professional athletes to watch the competition.

They just came to see their little idols. Isn't this just a gathering place on the wall. To see the real sportsmanship, why don't I go to other places.

Chen Hua watched the backstage artists change Kosten's body one by one, and was about to go over to ask about the situation again, when the phone vibrated.

He took out his mobile phone, saw the message above, his eyes lit up, and quickly ran out of the ice rink.

At the door, a man in his forties stood there and greeted Chen Hua.

Chen Hua hurried up to meet him: "Teacher, why are you here?"

This is his teacher, Qiu Zhengqing, the coach of the national team.

Qiu Zhengqing said: "I happened to be in S city for a meeting. The provincial team said you were here, and I wanted to come and see you."

Chen Hua smiled: "I'm recording a show, but without my footage, I can control the field to avoid any accidents. Is the teacher interested in coming to see it?"

"Program? That sports meeting, I know."

Chen Hua hurriedly waved his hand: "It's all a group of children, and it's not a serious game. It's fun to play."

Qiu Zhengqing nodded: "Okay, let's take a look, I happen to be free today."

Chen Hua quickly brought Qiu Zhengqing into the ice rink. When asked by the staff of the program group, they just said they were friends.

It's okay for the provincial coach to bring a friend in, so the staff didn't ask any more questions and focused on checking the equipment and machines.

The grouping and appearance order of the artists will be confirmed by lottery the day before. A group of six, for a total of three groups.

Yu Nian's lottery result was the first in the third group.

After all the spectators were present, the machines were confirmed to be ready and the game officially started.
