Silver Plate of Rebirth Frostblade

With the win of the Wudi Cup, Xu Lingjun's points world ranking has officially risen to the top six in the world, which is worthwhile in any Grand Prix.And the roster of the sub-stations has already been announced, and the ice fans who are looking forward to the start of the season so much that they are looking forward to turning into Wangfushi can't wait to chat in the post bar.Among them, the highest pile is a discussion water building called "GP Forecast".

[This is the landlord, eat melons and melons, speak freely! 】

[There is a feeling that the pattern of men's singles will change in the past two years. Have you noticed that with my promotion to 0, the difficulty of the little boys is getting faster and faster?This off-season I checked ins, and I saw that even the Magic Duck has 4s... Is there any Indian magic medicine in RA, which can be used for four weeks? 】

[Bobo is the scariest, except for all 4f.If you learn mathematics better, you may crush all living beings. Are you afraid, uncles? 】

[Bullshit.The 4s of the Magic Duck is made on a fishing rod, and there is still a big difference from being able to jump out in the competition. Well, let him work on his 4t first]

[Speaking of which, I think Wu Kong might be able to make a comeback this season.After Owada withdrew, he made the most money. Except for him, NHK is all rookies, and he is still at home. If the Japan Ice Association does not praise him, who will he support?There is also COR, there is only 00 one who is powerful, this shit luck, I am afraid that it will enter the GPF if it is not a promotion group】

【Upstairs, you forgot Pepe from COR...】

[Dizzy, I didn't think of him at all, Rossi really has a physique that doesn't exist [cover face]]

Xu Lingjun is slightly different from last year's grand prix this year. He is not assigned to the old combination of CoC and TEB like Yue Baozhu, but will go to COR and CoC.However, compared to last year, Xu Lingjun still prefers this year's collocation. COR is the first stop of the season, and the China Cup will be held two weeks later. After the China Cup, it will take a month or so to welcome the GPF, so there will be plenty of time to prepare for the finals.

Originally, the boss that COR was going to meet was Yamato, but Yamato retired due to injury a while ago and gave up all the GP series. Now Xu Lingjun is the strongest player in the entire Russian race.

The only competitive players competing at the same station are Rossi, who he has seen every day since the youth group, and Takei, who has just been promoted to the group this year.In addition, there is Hou Boyan, an old acquaintance.Last season's World Youth Championship was not very competitive, it was the fight between Shunta Takei and Popov, and everyone else basically came to play soy sauce.Among the soy sauce army, Hou Boyan was lucky. Both programs were clean. Although there were only four weeks, he finally won No.5 with a high degree of completion, and successfully became a male singles player in the adult group like a goddess.

He was promoted a year earlier than in his previous life.Moreover, he also successfully got the wild card of the China Cup. Counting one COR, he had two GPs just after being promoted to the group. The treatment is quite good.

At first glance, the lineup of this station is unbelievable.No one has any pressure to watch Xu Lingjun win the championship.

The impression of the ice fans lasted until the day before the start of the COR competition, when the ISU website released the jump plan difficulty table of all the players.

[I'll wipe, wipe, why does Pepe have 4s without anyone noticing?Do you want to fight like this? 】

【Teacher Mo still looks like he is still young, I thought he was addicted to tenderness and couldn't extricate himself. 】

Inexplicably, Rossi, who always has a low sense of presence, actually made big moves this offseason.He finally terminated the contract peacefully with his little-known coach and choreographer, and defected to the world-renowned coach, Russia's Morozov.Morozov once had experience in training women's singles, men's singles, and ice dancers, and his coaching career was quite brilliant.However, with the gradual retirement of his outstanding students and the strong rise of the famous North American coach Orser and others, his influence is not as good as before.Taking over Rossi this time should also be based on the hope that Rossi can turn around and regain his glory.

After Shunta Takei was taught by the famous coach Orser, the composition of the program has also changed significantly.The most notable thing is to move many high-score jumps and difficulty jumps to the second half of the program to increase the difficulty base score.In the short program, like Xu Lingjun, he also participated in the double four, and put the double four in the second half of the program at the same time.This season, his program was produced by Orser's partner David Wilson. The Japan Ice Association seems to have spent a lot of money in order to train him.

Looking at it this way, in fact, Xu Lingjun's winning rate in this station is not as great as ice fans expected earlier.

This premonition was confirmed on the day of the short program competition.

"Friends from the audience, among the six players in the first group that have just passed, the Chinese teenager Hou Boyan performed well and achieved the best score in personal history with 75.22 points, ranking second at present. Now the one who is going to warm up is the next group. Their world rankings rank among the top six among all players on this site, and three of them are strong contenders for the championship. Chinese teenager Xu Lingjun, Italian teenager Rossi, and Japanese teenager Shunta Takei all have two or more The ability to jump around."

Yang Xiaowen in the live broadcast room explained in a brisk voice: "Now is the 6-minute warm-up time. We see that the camera is now on the Chinese teenager Xu Lingjun. He is doing a signature hook around - beautiful!"

The camera was aimed at Xu Lingjun on the field, and with a beautiful hook jump that landed steadily, the Russian audience gave warm applause and cheers.

The last time of the Wudi Cup competition was not good, and it was not broadcast on TV. Many ice fans saw Xu Lingjun for the first time after several months of insanity.At this time, he slid to the sidelines and took off the sports jacket of the Chinese team, revealing the game uniform inside.

【Wow! 00 didn't cut his hair off!I like this hairstyle that is slightly tied up in half~ It has a classic flavor]

[Costen is not bad, it seems to be a rare and exquisite style for men's singles in China]

[Actually, I have always had good clothes!My mother-in-law is an opera actress, I heard that she picked it all, and her aesthetics are really good]

[...Do you want me to emphasize the immoral nature of yy minors? 】

After finishing a hook for four weeks, Xu Lingjun practiced the grading footwork of the short program a little bit, and then skating to the upper right corner of the ice rink to do a Sakhov three weeks to find the feeling of edge jumping, 6 minutes of practice It passed quickly.

The players on the ice rink walked off the field one by one, leaving Takei alone with his hands on the baffle to stretch his arms.

"The first player to appear in the first group of the short program is the last World Youth Championship champion, Takei Shunta from Japan. Takei Shunta switched to the famous coach Brian Orser this season. In the next short program, he Two quadruple jumps will be completed, and one quadruple jump will be arranged in the second half of the program." Jia Bo flipped through the information in his hand and introduced.

"Shunta Takei's music for this season's short program comes from the rock masterpiece "The King's Palace" by the Rainbow Band."

Takei Shunta stood in the middle of the ice rink, posing.

【I said, Takei's clothing is too overpowering. What is that thing on the sleeve】

[Maybe it reflects a little LGBTQ concept in it? 】

Takei's clothing has often been criticized since the youth group.In the early years, he and his coaching team loved copycats, but later on they somehow developed their own sense of originality.However, after joining the world's most famous figure skating coach team, the aesthetics have not improved much.The black long-sleeved tights, his team may really not be able to figure out how to point out the title of this song, so they simply made two rainbow-colored circles on the sleeves and arms according to the band's name.

It does look a bit like going to the LGBTQ parade, although it has nothing to do with this song.

The very typical elastic riff of "The King's Palace" plays, and Takei slides far away with a knee, doing a small dance sequence to the rhythm of the guitar.

"One day in the year of the fox, when the bell began to ring (one day in the year of the fox, when the bell rang)."

"It meant the time had come for one to go to the temple of the king"

Sharp-eyed ice fans discovered something interesting in just this short dance move.After joining Orser's team, Takei has made significant progress. In this short period of pace, Takei's one-legged skating ratio has greatly increased.Originally, his skating was of a very good type, with flexible knees and fast speed, but sometimes the proportion of bipedal skating was too large, which could not highlight his goodness.The choreography of this short program cleverly circumvented this point and successfully magnified Takei's technical advantages a lot.

When Deo, who is known as the benchmark of metal rock music, sang "Searching, Seeking (searching, looking for)", Takei made a Mohawk very neatly, then tapped the ice around the outside, and fell on the ice Squat deeply with your knees, then return to the original shape very elastically.

"Beautiful! Last season, Takei newly practiced the back and outer four sides. This season, his footwork connection before entering the jump has become more complicated." Yang Xiaowen commented.

The riff sounded again, and Takei went into his cross-foot joint spin.First enter the squat spin with deathdrop, make hand movements along with the music, then change feet and stand up to continue the Yan style spin.It is a pity that due to the technical characteristics of squatting to Yan style, a stall in the middle is inevitable.

Takei's Yan style maintained the basic required number of laps and then increased the speed by pulling donuts.After finishing the joint spin, go directly to the next jump-and-swallow spin.This practice of combining two of the three required rotations in the short program has always been popular among athletes.

"Takei has just completed two spins in one gulp. The speed of the first joint spin is slightly flawed, which may affect his grading. The subsequent Yan style is done very well, and he also made a gesture of half-lifting the knife. This is a big test for the flexibility of the male players." Jia Bo then added: "Next to the second half of the program, he still has two jumps including a 4s3t to complete, this is his first attempt to complete in the short program Quadruple jump, let's look forward to his performance."

The small and progressive musical form makes this famous song by the Rainbow Band unique.The flowing notes seem to make people see a medieval picture-loyal knights, king's authority, and eternal glory.

When referring to the writing of this song, the lead singer Dio and the lead guitarist Blackmore once said that the king's palace that appears in the lyrics does not mean some kind of concrete image, but a symbol of people going through a spiritual journey Finally, he reached the end named "King's Palace", where he found the answer to his belief.

The connotation expressed in the music is very abstract, but it does not affect Takei's good performance.In the second half of the show, he became more and more courageous.In the middle of the piece is a long guitar solo, and Takei's grading footwork is very cleverly arranged here.His skating speed is very fast, and his limbs are also very tense. The whole graded footwork is impeccable in the direction of rotation, ice coverage and speed, which is matched with his upper body that is too violent and loose when sliding soft and lyrical music. The action actually complemented each other.

[Just to put it bluntly, Wu Kong is not suitable for those lyrical and soft tunes at all. Now this rock style and the Wan Can songs compiled by Zhu Rui before are very suitable! 】

【Looks very moved, Takei's expression is so devoted, although after thinking about it carefully, I don't know what he is investing in...】

Takei, who completed his footwork, made persistent efforts, took off very neatly and did a Sakhov to catch the outside point for three weeks. Compared with the ice point jump, his blade jump level was much higher, and Sakhov came out several times earlier than the outside point. Year.Facing his own specialty at this time, Takei did not disappoint.

"Sakhov's continuous jump is perfect! You can pay attention to his sliding out movement, which is very stretched and his knees are very elastic."

Sliding out of a big arc, Takei ended the jump, and the subsequent 3A was also completed very smoothly.

The Japanese audience present gave him warm applause very excitedly.

"Thereinthemiddleofacircleitlies'Heaven, Helpme!'"

"Thenallcouldseebytheshineinhiseyes, theanswerhasbeenfound"

The music came to an end, and the brave knight got the answer to his question about faith in the king's palace.

Takei may have relaxed after completing all the jumps. The final squat spin was done quite well, with a high speed, and the small jump in the middle was also high and stable.

The guitar returned to the original riff again, and in the crescendo of the guitar, Takei ended the final spin and looked up at the sky.

—the warrior found the answer he sought.

Standing in the middle of the arena, Takei patted his chest and said something to the camera aimed at him.

There is no microphone on the field, but everyone who understands Japanese can understand his mouth shape at this moment:

"I am coming!"

The author has something to say:

Takei and Shibetsu will treat each other with admiration for three days. Shunta: I am in the second year of secondary school, and I am happy.

Giuseppe The Forgotten and Neglected Rossi: I have clearly practiced two kinds of four weeks, why do I always say that the podium candidates do not mention me!

----Here is the dividing line for small science popularization-----

deathdrop:

One way to enter the spin, I especially like to see the squatting spin that deathdrop enters, it is a kind of jumping and squatting spin, interested students can go to search for pictures.

Morozov:

That is, Teacher Mo in Bingmi's mouth.Famous figure skating coach.He's as famous for his coaching as he is for his pick-ups.The more famous students include Arakawa Shizuka, Takahashi Daisuke, Dennis Tan, Fernandez, Ando Miki, Oda Shinsei, Yamodio (Little Brazil), Murakami Daisuke, Leonova (Legend Girl), Marche ( Sister on Valentine’s Day), Ice Dance W/P, I/K, etc., awesome

Being old and disrespectful, he often falls in love with female students under his command. He has scandals with Miki and Ice Dance I. He has been married three times. His current wife is an ice dancer Visa. The girl was only 18 years old when she got married. She is only fatter Mo's daughter is three years older...

Before Sochi, Mr. Mo’s coaching job was very prosperous, but after Sochi, he played many good cards in his hands very badly. The only pair of I/K with a bright future also inexplicably destroyed the city wall, demolished the team and reorganized , Mr. Mo's coaching career then experienced a certain decline.But he still has the basics, he can teach and make up, and he still deserves to belong to the ranks of the world's top coaches.
