Chapter 53: Breaking the Record
There was a month between the American and Russian Grand Prix this season, and with her teammates in the company, Shu Ran finally got her mind right and started her penultimate retreat of the season.
Christina's Japan station was ahead of Shu Ran's Russia, and it was only two days early.
Knowing that his mentality was not good, and in order to make himself more serious in training, Shu Ran took the initiative to hand over his mobile phone and put himself in a state of information blockage.
Despite this, it still did not achieve the effect that Shu Ran wanted.
It's inevitable that you'll come into contact with your teammates every day, not to mention that everyone is a peer, and the conversation is naturally about figure skating.
Half a month after moving back to the team, Shu Ran asked Fu Yiqing to move back.
"Move back?"
Shu Ran nodded and voiced her concerns.
Fu Yiqing pondered for a moment and said: "Sooner or later, you will know the results of Christina's Japan station, even if you avoid this time, you will still meet her in the Grand Prix final, and if you are unlucky and draw her to play behind, what will you do?"
Shu Ran pursed her lips and didn't squeak.
"Blindfolded and not looking at her results, covering your ears and not listening to the crowd cheering for Christina, not to mention that the Grand Prix is not the main goal, the World Championships are. ”
Fu Yiqing looked at Shu Ran, wanting to say more cruel but very realistic words, but when it came to his lips, he softened his words.
She's still too young.
"I think it's better for you to train with your mates. Fu Yiqing said, "If you still insist on moving back, it's okay, everything is based on your ideas, I just stand in my position to give you the best advice." ”
"Hmm, then I'm not going to move. ”
As Fu Yiqing said, pressure is inevitable, but although training with peers does not reduce tiredness, talking to partners who know that training is hard is indeed a different way to decompress.
But even so, Christina is still a thorn in Shu Ran's heart.
And just like that, another ten days passed.
When Shu Ran came out of training, he saw Qin Liubei and Fu Yiqing frowning, looking like something was wrong.
Intuition told Shu Ran that it must have something to do with her.
Qin Liubei turned his head and swept over Shu Ran, and said as if sighing: "There are still four days to play." ”
Shu Ran only cared about training every day, and didn't look at the date, listening to Qin Liubei say this, he understood in seconds.
It seems that the results of Christina's Japan stand have come out.
What Fu Yiqing said is the truth, if she has not dared to face Christina's opponent, then the result waiting for her can only be failure.
Thinking of this, Shu Ran took a deep breath, "So, how many places does she rank in Japan?"
"If you're talking about Christina...... Fu Yiqing paused for a second, "she didn't enter." ”
"Uh-what?!"
Shu Ran jerked her head up and looked at the two of them.
The expressions of the two did not change, one nodded, the other sighed, and began to explain.
Fu Yiqing: "Christina made a lot of mistakes in both races, ranking eighth overall in Japan, plus 13 points in second place in Canada, and 14 points in the two races, she should miss the GPF." ”
At that time, Shu Ran looked at them with expressions like something was wrong, and then she realized that their expressions at that time were incomprehensible.
Christina's performance has always been good and her performance has always been consistent, how can she suddenly make a series of mistakes?
Shu Ran was also very puzzled.
Fu Yiqing: "Anyway, this is good news for us. Shu Ran, you keep training, don't be stressed, GPF doesn't prove anything. ”
Shu Ran nodded.
Although it is not humane to expect others to make mistakes, to be honest, the pressure in Shu Ran's heart is indeed much less.
Because of this, Shu Ran understood that Christina is just an ordinary figure skater, and she will also make mistakes, not a mountain that cannot be crossed.
In the next three days of training, Shu Ran's condition was unprecedentedly good.
Looking at Shu Ran's flying figure, the corners of Fu Yiqing's lips rose.
Qin Liubei saw that he was in a good mood, and said with a smile, "Can you rest assured now? She is in too good shape these days, let her go to the Winter Olympics now and she should be able to win the top ten." ”
Fu Yiqing always stared at Shu Ran's every move, chuckled and shook her head, "This just proves that she has a bad mentality, otherwise she wouldn't have behaved so well after hearing about Christina's mistakes." ”
Qin Liubei smiled and followed his gaze to the ice, "When Shu Ran can sort out her mentality, the probability of winning over Christina will be much higher." ”
Three of the six rounds of the Grand Prix have been completed.
Among them, most of the women's singles players of the Chinese team signed up for the China station and the French station, the French station has not yet started, and only Liang Yue's results can be seen on the Chinese station, fourth place.
If Liang Yue wants to enter GPF.
First, she had to finish first in France.
Second, the players before her all made major mistakes.
If the above two points are met, Liang Yue will have a chance.
But the chances of satisfying only one of the above two points are pitiful, let alone satisfying them at the same time.
So the team once again poured all their hopes into Shu Ran.
Russia is blessed with unique conditions for skating, and there are hundreds of ice rinks in Moscow alone.
If Canada and Japan are historically big figure skating powers, then Russia is a typical example of God's appreciation of food, the women's singles players are petite and have the physical fitness of Europeans, the strength is jumping, plus there is a skating rink at home, Chihara Haka only won the bronze medal in the last Winter Olympics, the champion is the Russian, and the silver medalist of the last Winter Olympics is also Russian.
From this it is enough to see the horror of the Russian player.
In addition, the famous players from all over the country went into battle together, rendering the results of the Russian station even more confusing.
In this short program, according to Shu Ran's points, she was ranked in the penultimate group, and after the draw, she appeared in the third in the penultimate group.
The order of appearances is not bad.
Shu Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lay down on the yoga mat, and hurried to do the final sprint training.
After 6 minutes of warm-up skating on the ice before the game, Shu Ran recalled the key points of the action in her mind for a while.
After Maggie in front of Shu Ran finished skating, the ice boys hurried to pick up the gifts thrown by the ice fans.
Shu Ran held the billboard on the side of the ice rink, and time was slowed down at this moment.
Various sounds in the audience are mixed together, forming echoes that reverberate on the field.
"Having competed in so many competitions, I can't talk about it if I can't be nervous. Fu Yiqing said.
Shu Ran tilted her face and smiled at him.
At the same time, the entire arena was cleaned up, and only her name was announced on the radio.
Shu Ran puffed out her cheeks, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and slid towards the middle of the ice.
"Shu Ran, from China, brought the show "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". ”
Jade Jiaolong is proud and lonely, her martial arts are strong but unknown, and she steals the sword only because she is willful.
Such a role can be said to be willful, but on the other hand, wayward people are willful because they are protected under their wings, have not seen the dirtiness of the outside world, and do not need to change themselves to adapt to the original appearance of life for the sake of the outside world.
These are just in line with Shu Ran's life.
She is a blank sheet of paper, after Fu Yiqing's guidance during this time, the role of Yu Jiaolong was controlled by Shu Ran, even if there is no nine-point image, there is a seven-point in place.
Fu Yiqing believes that Shu Ran's PCS in this short program will not be too low.
Suddenly, I heard the applause of the audience, and saw Shu Ran stabilize the jump that was about to fall in a posture that could not be complete.
Everyone exclaimed in surprise for a long time, and Qin Liubei was also shocked by Shu Ran's reaction ability, "This girl ......"
Fu Yiqing's gaze tightened as he stared at Shu Ran, and even he didn't notice the hands he was holding each other because of nervousness.
The person who was also surprised was Shu Ran herself, but she didn't have time to be proud, she did all kinds of sword dancing movements with her hand-made sword, and it seemed like a light skill under her performance, as if she had really integrated into the scene of the movie and staged this audio-visual feast for everyone.
She has been immersed in the world of the movie, incarnated as a jade dragon who is not deeply involved in the world but has strong martial arts, and the martial arts movements evolved through dance are more ornamental.
Just like at the end of the movie, Yu Jiaolong chose to jump off the cliff to end her life, Shu Ran's eyes were desperate and with a certain awakening.
The rhythm of the music is getting faster and faster, and Shu Ran's spin is speeding up again, and the performance ends with a telling spin, combined with the bamboo blue costumes, as if people are returning to the green bamboo sea.
The moment the performance ended, applause rang out like a tide.
Some Chinese in the audience showed the Chinese flag, and a name sounded in the ice rink - Shu Ran.
Some ice fans are so excited that their voices are heartbreaking.
Shu Ran smiled and raised her head and beckoned to the source of the sound, but the sound over there was even more heartbreaking.
Shu Ran panted and bowed to the audience, her face full of smiles, but more than that, tired.
Even she didn't expect it to be clean.
She picks up the cheering doll that the fans threw onto the ice and slides out of the field.
Fu Yiqing's eyebrows were gentle, and he opened his arms to her.
The two embraced.
Fu Yiqing patted her on the back and said, "You behaved great." ”
"Hmm. ”
This hug only lasted for three seconds, and Qin Liubei also stretched out his arms, "Your sister-in-law asked me to give you a hug on her behalf." ”
The smile on Shu Ran's lips enlarged a little and hugged him back.
Shu Ran wiped her sweat and walked with the two of them to the equal seat.
The results this time would not be too bad, Shu Ran understood, but the moment she saw the score, she was stunned.
There was silence on the field for half a second, and then an instant burst of exclamations.
81.41 in the short program.
This score surprised the players who had already played and at the same time rejoiced, glad that they played before Shu Ran, if they played behind her, how much pressure should there be?
Among the players who appeared after Shu Ran were the familiar American Jennifer, Japan's Miae Miyae, and last year's Winter Olympics champion Samantha.
Samantha stared at the numbers on the screen, forgetting to move her legs for a moment.
Thoughts explode.
This Chinese girl has set a new world record in the short program.
