In the system space, Yu Nian is taking figure skating lessons.
The flow speed in the space will be much slower than that in the outside world. Yu Nian completed the learning of basic footwork and rotation here.
His posture on the ice is already quite comfortable, and his uncomplicated footwork while skating exudes 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 understand this posture.
Yu Nian was practicing skating in a semicircle with the inside edge of his right foot. The coach led him to push the ice with the inside edge of his right foot and make an arc with the inside edge of his left foot.
Their bodies tilted slightly inside the circle, smoothly forming a semi-circular arc. While gliding, the female coach said: "You have very good ballet skills, which is good."
"What are the basic skills of ballet? It is control, body posture and center of gravity transformation, dance posture, spatial awareness, lines and movement texture."
Her voice is pleasant and elegant, and every movement of her arms and joints makes her glide on the ice like a real ballet dancer.
"The core is control, which is the shift of the center of gravity. Are you familiar with it? This is also a requirement of figure skating, so I say your starting point is very high."
"Of course, it's not just the help that ballet can bring you, but also the effective improvement brought by longboard training."
"You have unique advantages in control and center of gravity switching. This comes from your talent and repeated strengthening training. This absolute control of your own center of gravity allows you to maintain your position in the ever-changing center of gravity during rapid gliding.
balance."
As she spoke, she led Yu Nian to increase the speed of gliding.
In the system's absolutely professional course, Yu Nian's ability to execute his pedaling is very standard, which allows him to move on the ice with less pedaling, and the connection looks extremely smooth even after accelerating.
The coach's eyes glanced at 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, every part of your body
With just one expression, she is already a wonderful ice dancer."
She asked: "You chose "The Soul of a Rose", right?"
Yu Nian was a little lost in thought and paused for a moment before answering her question: "Yes, "The Soul of the Rose"."
"It's a great ballet. I will help you choreograph a set of movements that suits your current technical level."
"But, boy, what are you thinking about right now?"
Yu Nian smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I was distracted."
The coach smiled and shook his head, slowing down the speed of gliding with him.
Her voice was soft and warm: "I know, I know. When you conquer the first limit, you will think about the second."
"Longboarding makes your heart beat strongly. You seem to be in love with this challenge, right?"
Yu Nian was startled for a moment.
The coach continued to slow down until he stopped holding his hand.
"So, do you want to try it?"
The coach with a good face and elegant temperament asked with a smile.
Yu Nian recalled that when he first entered the system space, the strong longboard coach also smiled and asked: "Want to try?"
So he experienced the excitement of rappelling for the first time, and then he fell into a cliff.
The feeling of weightlessness and rapid falling is still engraved in his heart, which made him try his best to make every movement perfect and reduce the probability of mistakes.
"The first lesson is that if you make a mistake, you will pay the price with your life." The words of the longboard coach seemed to be ringing in my ears again.
Yu Nian looked at the white ice rink under his feet. He already understood the dangerous trap hidden in the female coach's words.
But he did want to try.
The coach let go of his hand.
"I told you about the six types of jumps."
During the training break, the coach explained to him the breakdown of the six types of jumps in figure skating, including the posture when taking off, the use of blades, etc.
He also tried jumping on land.
Ballet is the art of jumping and spinning. After unlocking the restrictions on dance, Yu Nian felt that his flexibility and core strength had increased, which allowed him to easily perform the ballet jumps he learned before reading the book.
When starting to try jumps in figure skating, regardless of the standard of the movements, just focus on the process of running on land, jumping into the air, and turning 90 degrees to half a circle. It is really not difficult for Yu Nian.
From half a week to one week, to one and a half weeks, he could still complete it. It was not until the number of weeks increased to two that he felt the difficulty.
Jumps in figure skating are more often performed backwards, because it is easier to gain speed on the ice in the backward direction. Jumps require assistance to gain speed, and most jumps take off in the backward direction.
However, a jump is an exception.
The a jump, also known as the Axel jump, is the only one among the six jumps in figure skating that takes off in a forward direction, so it will rotate half a circle more in the air than other jumps.
Therefore, when the number of cycles is the same, jump A is the most difficult jump among the six types of jumps.
Even the world's top men's singles figure skating is quite a challenge when performing the Axel triple jump, also known as 3a.
However, it will vary from person to person.
Before Yu Nian went on the ice, he only tried a few types of one-turn jumps on land. Instead, he felt that the A jump, the only forward jump, would be easier. This may also be related to his long-term study of ballet.
It has to do with physical habits.
Of course, after two weeks, this feeling faded away instantly.
The coach spoke: "Our jumping practice on the ice has always been very conservative. Considering your performance tasks, we have been focusing on skating footwork and rotation."
"But there is a young wolf howling in your heart. You always want to do your best."
"Your attempt on land went well, but what about on the ice?"
The coach exited the rink, leaving this space to Yu Nian.
"Your greatest strength is that you are always fearless in trying things."
Try without reservation, so you can keep in mind the cost of mistakes.
Yu Nian heard her distant yet close voice: "Slide, cushion, take off, fly into the air and land on the ice. Let me see how far you can do it."
He looked at the snow-white ice rink, with arc marks left by his skating on it.
The skates carved his footprints on the ice, but there was nothing missing.
What is missing is the ice flowers blooming on the ice at the moment when you jump into the air and then land firmly on the ground.
Those ice flowers will refract sunlight and exude vitality.
This is the art of ice and snow, a cold and pure beauty.
Yu Nian took a deep breath, he knew the price of taking the risk.
But as the coach said, his biggest advantage is that he can always try without fear.
Just like when he first learned to longboard, he fell into an abyss, but he could still wake up from the abyss.
He raised his eyelashes and moved his body.
Using the help of skating to gain speed, after a long skating period, he skated in an arc with his right rear outside edge, kicked off the ice with his left front outside edge, and jumped forward, holding his arms tightly in front of his chest in the air and turning.
"Greedy little guy." The coach chuckled and shook his head after seeing his takeoff.
She could tell from the takeoff that Yu Nian was trying 2a.
However, when Yu Nian took off, he found that his left blade was seriously slipping, which made him misjudge 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 turn pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, the tip of his nose, and his back, which instantly soaked his forehead and training clothes.
He knew that his tendons and ligaments must have been strained and ruptured.
"Bad takeoff, bad flight, bad landing." The female coach commented unceremoniously.
"Do you feel the difference between the ice and the land? You can successfully complete the A jump through the approach on the land. This is due to your current good physical fitness and profound ballet skills."
"But on land and on ice are completely different things. Jumping puts a lot of demands and pressure on the knees, ankles and hip joints."
"A 3a with a normal height, or other triple triple and quadruple jumps, at the moment of landing on the ice, your knees and ankles will bear an impact of about seven to eight times your body weight. 2a has already made you like this, then what follows?
Woolen cloth?"
She asked in a warning tone: "Does it hurt? So will you still try?"
"It hurts." Yu Nian murmured. He never concealed his feeling of pain.
Then he looked up at the serious face of the female coach.
"But don't you want me to answer 'yes'?"
There was also a thin layer of sweat condensed 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 his ankle slowly subsided until it completely subsided.
He blinked his eyelashes, and the sweat collected on his eyelashes dripped down the tips of his eyelashes onto the ice.
The pain subsided, but the brain seemed to still remember the pain that penetrated the bone marrow, and the pain still seemed to remain.
After a long time, the female coach finally spoke: "You know, you are an adult. Figure skating, like ballet, requires childlike 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 limits exist is to break them."
"Are you ready to take on new tasks and take on new challenges?"
At this time, 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 Kaosten did not send the aged Kaosten over until the day before the official start of the All-Star Games.
When he saw this Kaosten with red as the main color, Yu Nian knew that he had perfectly reproduced the pattern he drew.
The designer's eyes were green 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 to sew bead embroidery and pink diamonds on it. The original red was too saturated, so I re-sewed white chiffon yarn on the fabric - what a beautiful piece it is now.
beautiful?"
The Costen coat he showed to Yu Nian no longer looked like its original autumn coat. Extending from the shoulders and collar down, there was a rose pattern sewn with large beads embroidered and pink diamonds.
It was a rose at dusk painted by Yu Nian himself. A delicate and brilliant rose bush.
The gaudy feeling originally brought by the highly saturated red color has been given a hazy and elegant look by being lightly covered with layers of wrinkled white gauze.
Yu Nian took the Kaosten and thanked him sincerely: "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 the passion. Your talent and charm made these all-nighters happy and romantic."
"He is an elf and a dream. I look forward to seeing you wearing this Costen on the ice."
That will be the most eye-catching presence on the snow-white ice.
The next day, the figure skating event of the All-Star Games officially started recording.
The recording location is the ice rink chartered by the program team.
Yu Nian changed into Costen in the changing room and put on his training jacket.
When he walked out of the changing room, he happened to bump into Ji Yuheng.
Ji Yuheng also changed into Costen. It is said that his mother, who was born in an art troupe and has good dancing skills, asked someone to design it herself.
It also uses red as the main color, and the simple and smart design fully reveals his good figure.
Yu Nian passed by him, and Ji Yuheng turned around and looked at his back in training clothes.
Two rose souls.
Ji Yuheng thought of the scene when he fell down and Yu Nian pulled him up.
The person underneath him had black hair and very white skin, and the impact of the moment he lay on the ice was very strong.
Maybe I should have some reservations when performing? This way Yu Nian will not be too embarrassed at least.
Ji Yuheng came up with this idea.
Outside the ice rink, spectators participating in the recording were entering the venue one after another, handing in their mobile phones and other electronic recording equipment at the request of the staff.
The ice rink is not big and can only accommodate less than 200 spectators in total. However, there are not many people coming here, and even the 200 seats are not full.
Popular track and field events and swimming events are being recorded at the same time. The recording is being done in the city gymnasium. The venue is larger and there are much more viewers participating in the recording.
In comparison, this ice rink looks very bleak.
After all, it is an unpopular project, and the participants are just a bunch of idiots, so naturally it won’t attract anyone.
If Ji Yuheng hadn't been very popular recently and some fans formed a group to support him, the number of people would have been even smaller.
Coach Chen Hua shook his head when he saw groups of little girls sitting on their seats carrying banners and cheering items.
He now understands it and is too lazy to argue with the program team about his theory of sports and competitive spirit.
That's it, let these little stars play their role as entertainers, even if they play a role in popularizing science, it will always be useful.
The little girls sat down in the stands holding the support objects on their walls. When they glanced over, they saw that these support objects were concentrated on a few artists, among which Ji Yuheng had the most banners.
There are more than two hundred celebrities participating in the All-Star Games, and it is very difficult to recognize them.
Many young people hope to get ahead in this variety show, but in fact they are destined to be Green Leaf from the beginning. This variety show has several key artists to be praised. It is not something you can get ahead by working hard and winning the championship in the competition.
If the lens can't give you the highlights, that's no good.
It is a sports meeting, but after all it is a sports meeting attended by celebrities, and the standards of the entertainment industry are still implemented.
It is said to be a competition, but in fact it is just a variety show. The audience knows very well that they are not really here to watch the competition. Why not watch professional athletes if they want to watch the competition?
They just come here to see their little idols. Isn't this just a gathering place? If I want to see real sportsmanship, why don't I go somewhere else.
Chen Hua watched the artists backstage change and move their bodies one by one. When he was about to go over and ask about the situation, his phone vibrated.
He took out his cell phone, his eyes lit up when he saw the message on it, and he quickly ran out of the rink.
At the door, a man in his forties stood there and said hello to Chen Hua.
Chen Hua hurriedly greeted him: "Teacher, why are you here?"
This is his teacher, Qiu Zhengqing, who is now the coach of the national team.
Qiu Zhengqing said: "I happened to be attending a meeting in City S. The provincial team said you were here and wanted to come over and see you."
Chen Hua laughed: "I'm recording a show right now, but I don't have my camera, so I have to control the scene to avoid any accidents. Teacher, are you interested in coming and taking a look?"
"The program? That sports meeting, I know."
Chen Hua quickly waved his hand: "They are just a group of children, and it is not a serious competition. They are just having fun and having fun."
Qiu Zhengqing nodded: "Okay, let's see, I happen to be free today."
Chen Hua quickly brought Qiu Zhengqing into the ice rink. When the program staff asked, they just said they were friends.
It was okay for the provincial team coach to bring a friend in, so the staff stopped asking questions and concentrated on checking the equipment and machines.
The grouping and order of appearance of the artists were confirmed by drawing lots the day before. There are six groups in one group, divided into three groups in total.
Yu Nian's lottery result was the first in the third group.
After all the spectators arrive, each machine is confirmed to be ready, and the game officially begins.
