25 one-on-one

The short conversation between the three of them made Xu Haoyang's mood not so comfortable, Lu Bolin's calm, as if nothing had happened and what he said made him very unhappy, although in fact, Lu Bolin didn't say anything, but whether he said it or not, he was very unhappy.

Moreover, he also felt that Han Lu and Lu Bolin falling out was pure nonsense, people like her, people like her in his imagination, would definitely not let go of such a thigh that could be hugged.

When he thought that he had somehow become a partner with this kind of person, he felt angry.

However, he had no other choice.

Unaware of her partner's mental activity, Han Lu is busy adjusting to her new role as soon as possible.

The main difference between pairs skating and singles is that in addition to the focus of the athletes' performance, there are also several unique movements that require a high degree of cooperation between the two sides. Such as lifting, twisting lifting, tandem spin, spiral, tossing and so on.

Jumping is one of the most ornamental moves in pairs skating. Usually the male partner gives a suitable moment, throws the female partner with the help of inertia, the female partner spins in the air, and then falls on the ice, and the action must be done in one go. This requires the female partner to give absolute trust to her partner, and at the same time, the male partner to give himself full trust - even if there are many failures, this trust cannot collapse. Once the trust is insufficient, it will lead to insufficient preparation for the movement and drag the mud and water, which will directly affect the quality of the jump.

In order to get more technical points, the players have a persistent pursuit of the height and distance of the throwing jump, which is also the advantage of Xu Haoyang in Liu Bofei's eyes, his strength is very strong, which allows him to throw his partner higher than others, so that his partner has more time to stay in the air to complete the spin. He and Jiang Xin had completed a quadruple jump in the past, and that was many years ago.

In addition, twisting is when the male partner's hands exert different forces on the sides of the female partner's body, such as twisting a bamboo dragonfly to make the partner spin in the air - this is one of the best techniques of Zhang Lei and Zijun's combination. After two to three weeks of spinning in the air, the male partner catches the female partner in the air and smoothly lowers it to the ice. The requirement is to land on the ice with a one-legged back edge, and the male partner also needs to slide out on one foot.

Like the singles, in the official competition, the pair skating also has its prescribed movements, it is divided into two events, the short program is 2 minutes and 40 seconds, each group includes 8 movements, optional music, each movement is only allowed to do one (excluding quadruple jumps), the free skate duration is 4 minutes and 30 seconds, optional music, self-choreographed movements, and each continuation is necessary to go through countless discussions, experiments and run-ins before the final decision.

The competition is a test for the athletes, and the offseason is a challenge for the whole team.

Liu Bofei estimated the time, and Han Lu had to master the movements she had never been exposed to in a short period of time and pass the selection within the team. It wasn't easy, and he didn't know how far she could go.

The most important thing is whether she can successfully establish an emotion called "trust" in others.

At the same time of the week of the farce on the Titanic's big stage, that is, after everyone left the ice rink, Han Lu and Xu Haoyang really had the game they had agreed on, and it was also the first time these coaches had seen this kind of ridiculous game.

...... between figure skaters ONE ON ONE。

And it's also ONE ON ONE between men and women.

Just as the last time they agreed in that half a joke, both of them chose "Romeo and Juliet". Different from the emotional interaction of pairs skating, "Romeo and Juliet" as a single skating, due to the absence of lovers, uses a performance method close to dancing * horn drama to introduce a unique tension, and also gives the contestants enough room to play, which is also one of the reasons why this piece has become a popular classic.

Han Lu's requirements for song selection are not very high, in the past competitions, her song selection was basically decided by Liu Bofei and Amy, anyway, no matter what kind of song it is, she can jump out of her own style - in the forum, there are also her die-hard fans who have written a 100,000-word long paper, and I can't explain Han Lu's most unique interpretation of the song to everyone - Liu Bofei also took a few looks, and he felt particularly incredible when he looked at it.

No, he thought, she didn't have such a complicated inner drama at all.

There is no passion, impulse, madness, the junction between fantasy and reality, the reshaping of the heart, or whatever.

Your idol is which action is difficult to dance, she just can't wait to play figure skating as a women's jumping competition, and whoever turns more circles will have a higher score.

Before the official start of the competition, or the duel, Han Lu was doing stretching exercises in the rest area with headphones plugged in, and Xu Haoyang on the other side was even more solemn. Liu Bofei knew that these two people were real, Han Lu had never neglected to treat any game, no matter who the opponent in front of her was, she wanted to win without distinction.

Speaking of which, he recalled, she proposed to compete one-on-one with others, in fact, it had already happened once when she was a child.

The one who was challenged was himself.

That was fifteen years ago, Han Lu was fourteen years old, and she had just mastered the skills of quadruple jumps, and there was no one around her who could match her, so she naturally made a war against the cowardly coach in front of her, who had always restricted her from challenging the high difficulty of the challenge.

It can be said that at that time, Han Lu, whose strength far surpassed that of his peers around him and grew up in great honor and praise, did not look down on Liu Bofei at all. She felt that this man was purely an inferior product who had been eliminated from the figure skating world, and it was because he did not have enough strength to climb to a higher place, so he had to retire and work as a coach in a place like a junior sports school.

Han Shuhua and Han Lu, mother and daughter, who have always been tense, can only reach an unexpected and rare agreement when they face Liu Bofei together.

Han Shuhua's self-confidence told her that the reason why her daughter was able to achieve such an achievement in figure skating was entirely because of her own talent, and it was not a big deal with Liu Bofei.

This kind of self-confidence, of course, has long been inherited to Han Lu.

Fourteen-year-old Han Lu defeated Liu Bofei in a duel, which actually made Liu Bofei feel that maybe at that time, if he could give her a proper blow, she might not have grown up to be what she is now.

However, it is too late to say anything.

Han Lu took off her coat and revealed the performance costume inside. This performance costume she had worn in the past World Championships, and it was also the most gentle and elegant of all her performance uniforms, the background color was white, and it was dotted with a large number of bright yellow sequins, which looked like the sun had fallen and been sealed with wax and embellished on the clothes.

Her show is ready to begin.

Liu Bofei noticed that the choreography of Han Lu's foot movements this time was different from before, and it may also be because she had accepted the fact that she could no longer challenge the quadruple jump, so she put the difficulty on the switch of footwork. The movements under her feet can almost be said to be full, one action is done, and the other is immediately followed, the ice is crisp and powerful, the ice blade smashes on the ice and makes a dull sound, and at the same time fiercely stirs up a large area of ice flowers.

It's a ...... Amy shook her head, a crazy Juliet.

She seemed to see the dead Romeo's shoulders shaking frantically and yelling at you if the was stupid Juliet.

Xu Haoyang and Liu Bofei saw something else at the same time, Han Lu skated at the moment, which was Duhamel's signature footwork.

Duhamel can easily handle a variety of styles, and most impressively, her high-speed footwork changes, which are perfect for any quirky or playful tunes, which is also her and Eric's specialty.

Or, they could have secured the World Championship with one style – because the few times a medal was snatched away was when they tried a new style without complete success. However, Duhamel said that she did not care, saying that only by constantly surpassing herself and refreshing her boundaries is the real victory.

But obviously, this kind of footwork is a bit difficult for Han Lu now. She wasn't familiar with it and didn't have much time to practice.

Liu Bofei frowned on the side, he should actually think that a person like Han Lu, if she understood that the multi-week jumps she was good at in the past could not continue in future competitions, she would definitely look for other moves that would allow her to complete the technical bonus points.

Then she saw Duhamel in the performance and thought it was a good move that could be learned.

And then she learned.

This logic is very much in line with Han Lu's style.

But......

Liu Bofei hates that iron does not become steel.

Butβ€”

But she thought that it was so much less stressful than her jumping around, was she!?

He almost wanted to shout this sentence at Han Lu, but he finally held it back. At this point, he regretted once again that he had not mercilessly established his authority as a coach in front of her when she was a child, so that at such a time, he could rush to the ice to stop the game, take her by the ear, and take her off the ice and order her not to do it again next time.

In fact, he had imagined such a scene countless times, and Han Lu respectfully said to him, "Okay, Coach Liu, I understand".

Although every time he came out of this imagination, he felt extremely ashamed.

It's also ...... that you can do this kind of thing yourself. It's very sufficient. He thought that if it spread to the industry, it was estimated that coaches all over the world would have to look at him with sympathy.

It's a lot of pressure.

Sympathize with Coach Liu, he went crazy before Alzheimer's.

He could think of it on his heels, and all the old bastards were going to say something.

However, Han Lu's current skating method will never allow her to continue, and it will not take long for her to go to the operating room twice, recover from two injuries in less than two years, and most likely never return to the ice rink. Liu Bofei can play this guarantee, but he won't want her to challenge her own limits once, and he won't give her this chance this time.

– Do you still want to keep skating?

He decided that when she came down today, he would say that to her first thing. He wasn't going to affirm her attempt, he had to let her know that her attempt was a ridiculous idea.
