26 There are only victors
And Xu Haoyang, who was standing on the side and preparing to play, was deeply shocked by the series of footsteps at Han Lu's feet.
He hadn't seen her use such footwork in her past singles matches. Because this is not very appropriate to her personal style, Amy, who pays a lot of attention to the art style of figure skating, will not make such choreography.
Then, this set of footwork is the result of her practicing alone in a very short time.
……
She is very strong.
He confirmed this again.
She didn't seem to be affected by the foot injury at all, and it was as if she had forgotten about it. He knew it was a talent for all good athletes, but he had to admit that he lacked it.
There was no way he couldn't help but think about the things that trapped him, even a small mistake would allow him to recall all the failures that had plagued him in the past, and then there was no way to get rid of them for a long, long time.
He didn't want to fail again, he thought so every time.
The music ended, and Han Lu walked down from the ice rink.
She didn't look at him, and she didn't look at anyone. She was intently thinking about what she had just done, something she had always done.
Then, it was his turn to play.
The performance uniform on his body is the one he once wore at the World Youth Championships, and now, this dress is old, and it is a little too small, and the sequins that have fallen off a lot have fallen off, and if you wear it to the official competition, you will be deducted art points.
However, he has worn it to win championships before, and this dress is special.
He hoped it would give him strength.
Until Xu Haoyang walked to the center of the ice rink, Liu Bofei didn't say anything. In the end, he resisted the urge to teach Han Lu a hard lesson just now—about the footwork she had choreographed for himself, although he still firmly believed that he had to warn her, it was impossible to allow it, whether it was past, present, or future. But there's one more thing that's probably more important than that.
She couldn't miss Xu Haoyang's performance, this was a good opportunity for her to face him squarely - Liu Bofei couldn't help but feel that this statement was a little strange, facing him squarely? This didn't sound very normal, as if the two people were not in the same position at all. He couldn't figure out why things were like this, as if it was the same before, once he wanted to fight for something for Xu Haoyang, he had to think very hard about his merits, so that the other party could face him and accept him, but the person himself didn't seem to have such thoughts and intentions at all.
It's as if he doesn't care what other people think of him.
This is also the place that made Jiang Xin irritable with him for a while, causing him to lose patience directly in the end.
This kind of character is a bit troublesome. It needs a lot of strength, as well as a considerable degree of good luck and good fortune to be able to naturally complete, so that his solitude and coldness can become an admirable and unique character, rather than an excuse for inaction.
Especially in the environment of competitive sports, if an athlete can't get a result, then everything else will sound like a joke.
Liu Bofei thought about it, and then saw Xu Haoyang nodding to Amy, who was in charge of music playback. As the music prepares, he closes his eyes and makes a gesture of his hands clasping his arms.
A few years ago, Xu Haoyang once performed this song "Romeo and Juliet" with Jiang Xin, although the results were not so ideal, but this made Jiang Xin suddenly show his head in the figure skating world. Jiang Xin is good-looking, petite and flexible, feminine and powerful at the same time, and their action choreography is largely focused on highlighting her personal style, which can be said to make her an instant hit. But Xu Haoyang was completely pressed under her at that time. In the audience, voices that thought that Xu Haoyang had dragged down Jiang Xin also began to appear.
In fact, Amy had already seen that she had never seen such an unequal partner as them. One person has ideas everywhere, and the other person only has to obey and take the blame.
She thought it was incredible, but she was amazed to find that they had really cooperated for so long.
So their split, although it was a big blow to Xu Haoyang at the time, Amy felt that this was actually a big opportunity for him. This forced him to break out of his past identity, position, emotions, and so on, and face his career and even his entire life with a new self.
If he could, he would have taken a completely different path.
This time, all the choreography was done by Xu Haoyang alone, and he had never tried to choreograph an entire set of solo moves before - all the coaches were a little curious about it.
Especially Amy.
Since returning to the figure skating team as an art director, it can almost be said that watching Xu Haoyang go all the way, she wants to know how far he can go if he is alone.
As the music sounded, Xu Haoyang slid out. Amy quickly felt that his movements were very different from those he did in pairs skating.
In the past, Romeo was a gentle and tough teenager in pairs skating, so his movements were gentle and gentle most of the time, in order to serve as a base color for Juliet, to catch Juliet's lightness and strength.
But now, Xu Haoyang's movements are full of passion that no one has ever seen before, a passion that is almost beyond the scope of music.
Romeo ran to his lover's side with all his might, but all he saw was a cold corpse - Xu Haoyang used crazy jumps to express Romeo's despair at that moment, the ice blade hit the ice with a loud noise, and Xu Haoyang closed his eyes tightly, sliding quickly on the ice, his set of movements looked as if he had been practiced thousands of times, and every spin seemed to flow naturally from the music.
None of those present knew that when everything was about to start and everything seemed to be going in the best direction, this choreography he had practiced countless times, and he wanted to use it to start a new chapter in his profession with the people he liked.
However, at that time, things had already gone in a different direction than he imagined.
And he began to reassure himself that nothing would go as smoothly as he imagined.
He has never been the ideal version of himself, he has never known who he is.
In the end, the things that could not be realized, those deeply suppressed emotions, passed through the entire years, crossed time, and gradually filled his entire consciousness in the sound of music that could not be more familiar, and also quieted everyone who was watching.
Han Lu watched his performance motionlessly.
4lo, 3lz to 3t......
Although some of the ice falls are not so perfect, it is still a very well-finished performance.
It can be said that even the mistakes are a style, emotionally extremely closed, completely isolated from the outside world, and a performance that she has never seen.
In the end, Xu Haoyang ended with a swallow-style rotation and completed the whole program. Unlike Juliet, who decisively plunged the dagger into her chest, Romeo's death was quiet, he drank the poison and lay in the coffin, his eyes never opened, and Xu Haoyang also closed his eyes tightly.
The surroundings were very quiet and no one made a sound. He blurred his time and place for a moment in this tranquility, as if he had gone back in time, to many, many years ago, where nothing had yet begun, where there was still hope.
…… However, there is only hope if there is victory.
Only the victor has the right to speak.
Only the victor can speak his mind and make others admit him.
The coaches are watching this game, and the new partner who has been looking down on him is watching this game, he has no reason to lose to her, there is no possibility of losing to her, he has to win, he has to win.
After the music stopped, he wanted to stand up, but because he was too emotional, he lost a lot of physical strength, causing the whole person to stand unsteadily and fall directly on the ice.
Han Lu had been out of the show for a while, but her breathing hadn't completely calmed down, and her chest was still rising and falling. This reminded Coach Sun, who had been watching the game in silence, with a metaphor: a basketball fan suggested that if two top players in the NBA were put together and they had to decide the winner, then the outcome would be who would win.
Fans of both players argued for a long time and didn't come to a single result – of course, it was impossible to come to that. Finally, it was said that whatever the outcome is – or we say, any outcome can in fact happen under different circumstances. However, the only thing that is certain is that once these two people are placed in the same space and they are asked to divide the winner, then the victory and defeat cannot be ended without blood. They are warriors born for this.
Coach Sun stepped forward to support Xu Haoyang and gave him a support to stand firm.
He never thought that this competition, which he thought was just a joke at the beginning, would be so intense, he never thought that a female player would seriously want to defeat a male player, and he never thought that Xu Haoyang really seemed to be deeply afraid that he would lose this duel, and consumed his physical strength to this point.
These two people......
His heart felt incredible, but also exuded a strange sense of excitement.
These two men, he thought, were unlike all the fighters he had ever met. Together, they form a team, and with the right guidance, they have the potential to put on a performance that will blow the whole figure skating world away.
