The Grand Prix kicks off in late October, and the six-stage roster is announced much earlier.

The Chinese figure skating team sent two men's singles players, as well as the only pair of Han Lu and Xu Haoyang. They took part in the third stop in Beijing, China, and the fourth stop in Tokyo, Japan. According to the current training situation, Liu Bofei has to think that in fact, the strength of any pair of combinations should not be underestimated for them.

In the first leg in Beijing, their biggest threat will be the Russian pair, Xu Haoyang's rivals as a juniors, who won bronze at the World Championships last season and sat on the podium alongside Duhamel and Eric Erik.

These two names are the gods of pairs skating.

Then, unfortunately, Han Lu and Xu Haoyang will be in the fourth station of the Tokyo station, and they will directly face this pair of kings who are infinitely respected by the world and will always be invincible. In the past, the gold medal has never been in the hands of anyone else, whenever they have competed.

This is the first time Han Lu has competed with Duhamel.

However, the cruel thing is that it is likely that their Grand Prix journey will end early after the Tokyo Grand Prix.

Duhamel and Eric competed in the two sub-tournaments of Tokyo in the fourth leg and Lake Placid in the United States in the sixth stop, which means that Han Lu and they had no way to see their show in advance. However, the Russians will be the hosts of the first leg in Moscow, which is an advantage for them.

"This Lily," Han Lu looked at the two people sitting in the waiting area on the TV screen, "the rotation is not too pretty. ”

Lily, whose full name is Lisa Boyarskaya. Han Lu saw that such a long list of Chinese characters that were not next to each other everywhere were too big, so she directly renamed them Lili.

She didn't say it, but she called it very naturally and casually, as if people should have called it in the first place.

Maybe it's because it's so natural that other people just scream like that.

It seems that Han Lu really didn't take what Xu Haoyang said seriously, as if he had never said it. What she did to him originally, she still treats him now.

This made Xu Haoyang feel uncomfortable.

"That's Lily's question all along. Liu Bofei said.

"Anyway, Lily is not fat. Xu Haoyang recalled the last time he saw her, "I remember that it seemed to be ...... Isn't that so?"

"It seems to be really fat. Coach Sun stared at the TV, relying on him to see that others could not see him, and his eyes were staring at people's waists openly. "Tsk, this little belly is coming out......"

"Lily, a Russian girl......" Zhang Lei shook his head, "When I was young, I was a goddess, and I became an aunt when I got older." ”

"It's too much. Liu Bofei glared at him, "We still have a lady here." ”

"I'll tell you the truth, I said Russian girls, but I didn't say our sisters. Our sister is like twelve, and thirty is like twenty. ”

"Don't spoil the hand, don't eat your set. Zijun scolded beside him, "Don't care what you say, everyone is a goddess now." What about you?"

"Me, Dad, I'm dignified, I'm also a male god, okay? ”

"You say you're a male god in front of the face of our figure skating team...... Ouch my mother. Zijun shook his head exaggeratedly, "My head hurts." ”

"The figure skating team has to have one face, right?" Zhang Lei said unconvinced, "can't you have a few more faces?"

"It's not your turn to have a few more faces, you're the belly of a figure skating team. Zijun replied unceremoniously.

"Oh, it's too much, it's too much. Coach Sun shook his head, but he didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement and add to the joke. "Hey, Han Lu, you said that if Haoyang is face, where is Zhang Lei?"

Coach Sun also took Han Lu for a while, and after getting acquainted with her, he liked her very much, although Han Lu couldn't catch his stalk seven times out of ten, he also played so well by himself.

"Where?" Han Lu really didn't understand.

"That is to say," Zijun was also interested, "If Haoyang's handsomeness is the highest, let's calculate it by face, understand? So relatively, the least handsome...... Oh, let's just say that the most bumpy thing is the feet. Where do you think Zhang Lei is?"

For so many years, Zijun's accent has been taken away, but at this time, he spared no effort to scold his partner.

“…… What do you mean?" Han Lu still didn't understand. "What a face, what a foot. ”

"That's what they mean!" Zhang Lei couldn't help himself, "Ask you how handsome Haoyangyang is more than me! It's so much!" "So many!" the height rose again. "That's still it!" the height finally rose to almost the height of a barrel of blended oil.

“……”

Han Lu thought for a while, and pressed Zhang Lei's hand back a little, about the height of a soy sauce bottle from the blended oil barrel.

"Not so much. She said seriously, "So much." ”

Xu Haoyang kept holding back a smile, but the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but hook up a little at this moment.

“…………………… Really, Sister Han Lu. Zhang Lei looked at her sadly, "Do you know, you are too serious, it is precisely because you are so serious, so I think today, you are the one who hurts me the most." You don't talk to me anymore, I want to be alone for a while. ”

After the only loss of control in the cafeteria, Zhang Lei looked like he was back to his usual appearance. It's not a good shape to joke with everyone.,It seems that everything in front of you can be accepted smoothly with a normal heart.。

But in fact it is impossible.

Xu Haoyang understands, and Han Lu also understands.

Behind the opportunities they get, there are other people's unwillingness.

The first two rounds of the tournament were already very exciting, and the top favorite in the women's singles, Jin Kerr, won the first place without surprise, and her skills and competition with Han Lu reached a new level, in addition to the top artistic expression, there was also a new breakthrough in technical movements. In the pairs, Lisa Poyarskaya and her partner were very eye-catching, right in Moscow, although the French and Italian pairs, who are also first-lists, looked completely unsightly in front of them, and only Duhamel and Eric seemed to be able to fight for them.

In addition, in the second leg of the tournament in Regina, Canada, the Korean duo Kang Zhijun also showed strength that should not be underestimated, and their choreography amazed Amy, and Xu Haoyang also realized that this man as an opponent is more dangerous than in the past.

This time, with the help of the coaching staff, Han Lu and Xu Haoyang once again modified the program movements to make the whole performance more fluid than in the domestic Grand Prix.

She felt that she clearly read a sense of conspiracy success in Liu Bofei's eyes: It's a couple now, see how you change my actions on the spot.

…… Cunning and cunning.

She thought hatefully.

Before the official competition, Zhao Zhixin did another comprehensive examination for Han Lu to determine that her old injuries were not likely to recur under these high-intensity training. But this sentence is actually not so accurate, any injury on an athlete is their one*. You can explode at any time and then knock them down.

Beijing, the host, this is the time when she is truly watched by the whole world.

Their short program went mostly smoothly, and in this case, it was smooth for a pair who had just been combined and one of them was a one-to-double pair. Some viewers who were excited about Han Lu's comeback exaggerated and exclaimed that Han Lu had done something that no one else could do, and it was incredible that it only took such a short time to successfully complete the transfer, and the action was almost the same as when he was in peak condition. However, the final result showed them that they were still far from the real pinnacle, the title they wanted.

They are in sixth place, nine points behind the first-placed Russian pair. The opening three-week twist and lift got three levels, the completion quality was average, and there was a mistake in trying the three-and-a-half-week toss jump, Han Lu landed on the ice with both feet and turned over, and there were some scattered mistakes in the rest of the movements, and there were no very big problems.

On the second day of the free skate, their "The Impossible Dream" was better than every previous one, and the fatal jump error at the domestic Grand Prix was officially reversed around the world with this new three-and-a-half-week toss. Two consecutive mistakes by another Canadian pair pushed them to fourth place.

While the audience cheered for them, Liu Bofei's face sank.

Han Lu's problems with the landing action are not because she is not familiar enough with the double action, but because she has an instinctive fear of "landing".

It's like a basketball player who knows that he is about to leave the court with five fouls, and he can't help but shrink from his movements.

Han Lu was afraid that in the bad landing action, her Achilles tendon would have problems again.

She won't say it to anyone, and she won't allow herself to fall into this fear, but the emotion of "fear" doesn't disappear because of people's subjective will.

Even, the more she wished she wouldn't be like this, the stronger this fear became.

This question will not be ignored by Daisy either, as she sits in the referee's seat and frowns at Han Lu's performance.

At the same time, Zhao Zhixin is also aware of this. This is also the reason why his mentor said that the Achilles tendon is the Achilles heel of athletes. Not only is it unable to recover even after a full rehab session, but also because the long recovery period that comes with an injury can unconsciously create a psychological shadow that will directly affect their technical performance.

Now, because their movements can still be said to be in an unfinished stage, this problem may not be so obvious, but as the action is refined, I am afraid it will become a huge problem that cannot be ignored.

Zhao Zhixin silently clenched his fists.
