"Vincent is two years younger than me in men's singles from country J. Except for the unstable A jump, his skills are relatively comprehensive. But he has a bug. He performed well in the short program, and his free skating will definitely collapse inexplicably." Fu Sheng introduced.

"I've watched his training video, and compared to his performance in the main game, he only played 7% of it." Ren Ke said.Vincent is a relatively comprehensive player, but his mental problems have always been serious, and he is nicknamed the king of OP (pre-match music).Probably the position of the number one brother in the traditional figure skating country is really under great pressure.

"You, [-]% after training, [-]% in the main race. The jump configuration of the National Games last time was only cleaned once in the training. No one expected you to be able to complete it in the main race." Fu Sheng said.

"Brother Fu, when you praise me now, I always feel panicked and suspect that you are scolding me inwardly. It's better to criticize me openly." Ren Ke rubbed his nose.

"Hey, I'm so psychologically resistant, I don't want to comfort you anymore. Sit over there and let me see your feet."

Fu Sheng supported Ren Ke to sit down, took off the bandage and said, "It's still early, honestly sit here to dry the wound, the wound can't be covered all the time."

The chapped wound had healed, Fu Sheng took out the powder from his coat pocket, held his foot and carefully reapplied it.

"There are so many people!" Ren Ke played.

"Tsk—there's still idol baggage. All right, I'll do it later." Fu Sheng took off his shirt and put it on Ren Ke's bare feet.

A short Asian man with a short chin and beard walked by and saw Fu Sheng stunned for a moment, snorted softly with his nose, turned his head with a smile on his face, and went to talk to the curly-haired thin white man next to him.

Fu Sheng pointed at the man with his chin, and introduced to Ren Ke, "The No. 4 men's singles in R country, Yusuke Fucho, good at spinning. I was strongly promoted by the entire R country ice association and sponsors, thinking that I, who is also Asian, is the biggest." Opponent. Next to him is Joe Owen, the No. [-] men's single in F country. His movements, specifications and artistic expression are good. The difficulty is the lowest among the first-line men's singles. In the past two years, he has had [-]T for less than a week, but he failed. Give up now Yes, he is an artistic athlete with a perfect triple axel."

"Do you know why Fucho Yusuke is so hostile to you?" Andre walked over slowly.

"I have always been curious. There is no grievance or enmity. I am in the championship group. He is trying to miss the bronze medal."

"Before you turned out, figure skating was the world of Europeans and Americans. Yusuke Tominaga's achievements were enough to gain considerable fame and fortune. With you, everyone knows that people of yellow race can also be TOP figure skating players. Yusuke Tominaga's fig leaf It's all gone. His grades are not as good as yours, and his popularity is even worse. His hometown R country has been captured by you. The endorsement of merchants in Asia, the candidate for commercial performances, you are the winner takes all." Andre grew up in Country E, which has a more mature figure skating market, is well aware of these battles.

"There is a saying that hurting people's money is like killing your parents."

"But I have already retired. Although it was not made public, you and I all know that I have to retire." Fu Sheng looked helpless

"There are still legends about you in the Jianghu. Ice fans and advertisers will never forget you, and competitors of the same type will not let you go. Moreover, he is afraid that you will cheat, so he will come back and take everything away at any time. Now he There are three businessmen on me, and the cost of dressing is different from before, and I am even more afraid." Andre chuckled.

Fu Sheng was speechless for a moment.

Cold sweat dripped down Andre's neck.

"Foot injury? What about your coach, why did you stay here alone?" Fu Sheng asked.

"It's okay, I'm not the only one participating in country E. He has a lot of things to take care of. I have participated in many competitions and have rich experience."

He wiped his forehead and said, "I just finished the closure, and my feet are uncomfortable when I am old. It will definitely rain tomorrow, remember to bring an umbrella."

"Just play short programs? Are you afraid that you will break your Achilles tendon if you play too much?" Fu Sheng felt uncomfortable when he thought of what Andre said in his room.The peak period of Fu Sheng's career coincided with Andre's, and the two faced each other head-on.In private, they are good friends.

"It's not that you rushed too hard at that time. In a show, two quadruple jumps and two triple-A jumps. If I don't work hard, I will go back and wait for death to apologize."

"Is it okay if I don't rush? Isn't it because your men's singles ancestors in country E are endless. If Nikita was promoted last year, I would have played against four generations of men's singles in country E." Fu Sheng said.

"I still have a closed game now, and next year, I don't think I'll have a chance." Andre laughed.

Ren Ke knew he was telling the truth. Country E's figure skating talent pool is large enough to hold an annual draft.There are also many second-generation figure skating. The youngest son of the famous coach Master C competed with Ren Ke yesterday. Country E has no shortage of players who can guarantee a place in the competition, only legendary players with a one-shot deposit.

Andre is 25 years old.

In his previous life, he would hastily bid farewell in the next season, and handed over the glory of country E men's singles to future generations.

Fu Sheng frowned when he brought the men's singles short program report and technical moves.

The highest configuration of the men's singles short program comes from Vincent, 4T, 3A, 3Lz+3T, and he is going to attack Andre without any effort.Andre also did not do the two quadruple jumps, and adopted a configuration similar to Vincent's, only changing the Lz jump to the F jump.Fu Chang Yusuke chose the conservative 3A set. Zhang Bin of the C country team also reported his highest difficulty 4T and 3A, striving for an advantage in the short program he is good at.

"If you haven't come up with the maximum difficulty, the others will forget it. With the quality of Fucho Yusuke's movements, it is very difficult to get a card if you don't fight the difficulty. Is it because you have fought too hard in the past few years, and this year you collectively choose to retire?" Fu Sheng sighed.

Ren Ke went over to watch it for a while, and said strangely, "Why did Andre choose "Romeo and Juliet" as a short program? It's not suitable for him at all."

"Why do you say that? Andre has always been known as a prince." This short program selects the original soundtrack of "Romeo and Juliet" created by NinoRota, composer of "Whatisa Youth".The style of the track is melodious and full of emotion. This classic love story is world-renowned and easily arouses the empathy of the audience. It is one of the most popular tracks in the figure skating world.

"Andre's eyes are affectionate and his figure is tall and straight, which is suitable for performing beautiful love themes. But "Romeo and Juliet" is too famous, it is only suitable for direct interpretation of the characters, and cannot abstractly show the beauty of the repertoire. Romeo was only fifteen when the story happened. Six years old, and Andre's almost 30-year-old appearance is too different. It's very dramatic." Ren Ke said.

"It's because I didn't pay attention to the song selection, and I packaged several programs together for some big-name choreographer." Fu Sheng's throat tightened when he thought of the few words that Andre revealed that night.

Andre's appearance aroused the enthusiasm of the audience. Before the start, many ice fans couldn't help but stand up. This is the influence of the figure skating star.

Andre was dressed in a royal blue double-breasted suit, the color matched his deep blue eyes, but he was not like the childish and brave Romeo.

The first jump, 4T (four round jumps on the back and outside ice), was once Andre's famous signature jump, but as the ankle injury worsened, the success rate dropped sharply.Andre's expression was serious. He knew that the injection before the match had no effect. Instead, his right ankle changed from an obvious pain point to a painful and swollen foot.He gritted his teeth and touched the ice, but the moment he touched the ice, the axis was distorted.Andre tightened his heavy body and accelerated the rotation.

Landed, turned over.

"It's a pity." Ren Ke said.

Fu Sheng shook his head, "It's not a pity, it's a blessing. If it weren't for Andre's rich experience, another person would definitely fall and jump. His body is heavy now, and his take-off height is not enough."

Compared with classical music, the soundtrack of the film is more straightforward and enthusiastic. The climax comes like a sea wave, and the audience on the field can't help but beat with the music.Andre's snake-like consecutive steps are still clear and powerful, but it makes people doubt that such sharp footwork expresses the love of the young Romeo, who has almost died but never regrets, or the razor-edge frost sword of the two families blocking love.

The show ended in a beautiful 3F+3T by Andre.

Andre, who was accompanied by only one assistant coach in the division, was a little lonely, but he still showed his signature smile and waved to the camera.

The score came out, ranking third.It is 0.4 points lower than the current No. [-] Joe Owen.

"He can't catch up with this point difference. Andre's P points are declining. The P points in this game are at his level five years ago. Even he will be silent this season. You know Andre's free skating selection What is it? Chaplin score."

"Who would want to see a prince play a funny little character! Andre has a classical temperament and ballet skills. He can choose any classical opera and dance drama at random." Ren Ke thought that Andre would face such a situation in the face of being closed. As a result, frowning

"It's a beautiful name, break through yourself, try a variety of styles, and consider ice fans." Fu Sheng sneered.After seeing the men's singles in Country E, it was even worse than what Andre said.

Ren Ke tensed his face.

Fu Sheng kneaded his tense shoulders and neck to help him relax, "Heroes will die one day. No one is forever young. Only figure skating, and generations of talented youngsters will go on for her. However, this is also very good."

"Even if Andre has a curtain call, it is still worthy of being a masterpiece in the history of figure skating. It's not like this kind of unclear, lukewarm departure." Ren Ke said.

Fu Sheng's eyes darkened when he thought of his show last season. "That's the wish of every athlete."

Joe Irwin's short program is selected from the adagio version of the fourth movement of Mahler's Fifth Symphony.Mahler puts his sweet love with Alma under philosophical thinking, and hides the haze caused by Mahler's serious illness and dying a year ago while being affectionate.The fourth movement of Mahler V is very slow, and it is performed with spring rain like weaving strings, and the lingering lingering aftertaste is long.

Joe Owen's jump configuration is 3A, 3Lz, 3F+3T, which is the same as Nikita's short program jump configuration.

"He is very suitable for classical-style repertoire, soft and subtle, and everything is good. But he is a little dissatisfied." Ren Ke frowned.

"He shouldn't speed up the rhythm of Mahler V. As soon as the music is speeded up, the deep connotation will be lost. It is indeed romantic and elegant, and there is only romantic elegance." Fu Sheng said. "It's understandable. Skating the original song is hard to share. It's hard to express something profound in more than four minutes."

No.Ren Ke thought.

Fu Sheng created the history of the yellow race and won the first World Championships medal in the season. The artistic expression of the two programs "Free Tango" and "The Last Emperor" is unparalleled.When the song was selected, all ice fans shouted that it was suitable, but they felt that it was a pity that it was an Olympic-level selection, but it was used in a normal year.Thinking about it later, fate is so magical.It just so happened that that year Fu Sheng chose the program of combining music and music. He was in the peak of his body and was not troubled by injuries. He became a classic in the history of figure skating.

That year, Fu Sheng descended from the sky like a god, and won all the gold medals in the Grand Prix series. He was upset in the last round and hated the World Championships.

That year, Ren Ke struggled to see no hope in the provincial team.The developmental barrier was inevitable, and he watched the familiar jumps leave one by one.He almost promised his mother, gave up figure skating, and went back to school to live an ordinary life.It was "Free Tango" that woke him up.The flame of the deep collar red V is burning on the ice rink, so willful and beautiful.Everyone stood up and beat the beat, and the plush toys that represented ice fans' favorites fell like raindrops. He was obviously surrounded by the love of the audience.

Joe Owen's results came out, creating the best result in his short program history.After surpassing Andre, he came to the first place in short program scoring.Joe Owen hugged the referee in surprise.

"The quality of the jump is very good, but it is not enough to give +2 to GOE for every jump. The skating and performance are very good, but the P score is too high." Ren Ke said.

"It's ugly. But you can't appeal. The difference between 4T and 3A is only two points. 3A with GOE will be worth more than 4T. Andre's pace and spin ratings are not ideal, and he is obviously squatting when squatting. Can't stop."

"It's unreasonable. Isn't this encouraging everyone to skate the perfect three-week routine? The three-week jump routine has the same score as the quadruple jump routine. The quadruple jump makes more mistakes and is prone to injuries. As a sport, figure skating does not pursue higher and more Faster and stronger, I might as well go to the ballet." Ren Ke said.

"Yes, the individual figure skating event is indeed a stagnant pool now. Since I jumped out of 8S 4 years ago, the technology has not been updated, and there are no advanced jumps such as 4S+2T. Since the new century, diehard ice skaters The number of fans is decreasing, the attendance rate of the event is slowly declining, and the business of the TOP players is still the same. Passi originally wanted to retire and become a professional player, but the ice performances outside the arena are getting more and more sluggish. Ten years ago, there were people who It is predicted that figure skating will become a professional sport like tennis." Fu Sheng said.

"Impossible. It would be nice to keep the current achievements." A few years later, the figure skating market will be even more depressed.Ren Ke lowered his head and said.

"Someone will break this pool of stagnant water." Fu Sheng looked at Ren Ke.
