After returning home, the atmosphere of the game quietly became tense, and Pruko was even more nervous, because Yan Ze was not a seeded player, so starting from the qualifiers, Pruko was very worried that this unstable apprentice would miss on the ice.

In fact, making a mistake in one or two jumps can also increase points with artistic expression, but if every spin technique is wrong, then the convenience of artistic performance will naturally fail!

Judging from Yan Ze's performance in each of his previous games, it is impossible for Pruko not to worry, because in the last few games of Yan Ze in the past two years, almost none of them are complete.

And Yan Ze was also forcing himself not to be nervous on the way to the game, thinking that there was nothing to be afraid of, wasn't it just a small domestic competition?

But when he actually arrived at the arena, he saw the crowds of spectators and reporters, and the familiar inferiority complex attacked, and he began to be uncontrollably nervous.

With a small noise, Yan Ze attracted a small wave of attention as soon as he entered the arena, and several players were sparsely doing their pre-game warm-ups, and seeing Yan Ze's arrival, they immediately aroused interest and discussed excitedly!

"Hey, look at that 'self-wrestling expert' is also here...."

"Wow! He's so brave, the last time I saw him at the Ice Games, oh my God! He fell so hard that he fell from head to tail....."

"Hahahaha...... You say that like a comedy! ”

"Tut-tut! He's still a national athlete, how can he be so bad at the national level..."

Yan Ze's footsteps paused unconsciously, there was no emotion on his expressionless face, but his lowered eyelashes shook violently a few times, he lowered his head and gathered the coat and hat covering his head, and silently followed the steps of Pruko in front of him silently.

Where he couldn't see, Pruko's blue eyes fiercely strafed the group of young people who didn't know the height of the sky, and the surging momentum frightened everyone to disperse.

At this time, an excited laughter came from afar, "Haha, Yan Ze, I was still a little worried, but I finally felt solid when I saw you!" ”

Seeing Yan Ze looking at him coldly, he smiled, approached and pinched Yan Ze's face condescendingly: "Anyway, as long as you are here, I won't be scolded by my father, hehe.... Because no matter how bad I am, you'll be at the bottom! ”

The hippie smiling boy is wearing hip-hop style clothing, and the unruly blue thorn and cross earrings on one side make Yan Ze feel at a glance - cool and explosive! Although the words were not very good, the bright smile on his face was obviously not malicious.

Yan Ze will see him every time he participates in the competition, as Li Wei, who opened a skating club at home, has a playful attitude, and Yan Ze's pressure is not at the same level at all, but he is Yan Ze's only partner who can say a few words during the competition.

“.... Can't you just say something nice? ”

Yan Ze coldly lifted his eyelids to look at him, chose to stay away from the crowd, bypassed him and ran to the other side alone to warm up.

Li Wei ignored Pruko's murderous eyes, cheekily hooked Yan Ze's neck, and laughed: "What's the matter, why are you so nervous every time!" This kind of thing is born and cooked twice, just get used to it, how many times have you been here....."

Why did this tone make Yan Ze think of an unhealthy picture? He slammed Li Wei who was hanging behind him with his elbow, "It's your business!" ”

Li Wei exaggerated and shouted: "Oh, you murdered your husband!" It's also ruthless....."

Yan Ze shouted angrily: "Get out!" ”

"Oh, don't be angry, how about I'll take you to drag racing in a moment? Well, you see you have a tense face all day long, and relaxing is also good for tomorrow's game. ”

"Forget it, I want to live a few more years! Just because you took me to bungee jumping last time, I even have a shadow on the elevator now! ”

"Hahaha...... You're too low, you're scared to take the elevator, no wonder you fall every time you get on the ice....."

"Damn..... You can still have a good chat! Your dad is here, get out of here! ”

Li Wei looked at his father, who was also a coach, and glared at him majestically in the distance, immediately lowered his voice, and said with a mysterious smile: "Wait for me in a while, I'll be two behind you, let's go to a good place, and definitely let you have a super good time!" ”

Yan Ze squinted his eyes and looked at his distant back, thinking to himself how this villain wanted to play tricks on himself? Thinking of the shocking experience of him taking himself to a haunted house and bungee jumping, the scene was unbearable to look at, and he was stimulated to the point that his whole body went soft, and after he came out, he trembled so much that he needed to be supported and carried on his back before leaving. It was the most humiliating image of him other than his mistake on the ice, and he didn't want to have that kind of humiliating experience in his life.

"Don't be nervous for a while, you just treat it as a competition with Su Xiao, your match with Su Xiao was perfect, as long as you can maintain that level, you will definitely be able to advance!" Seeing that Yan Ze was in a lax state, Pruko had the opportunity to enlighten him.

As soon as Yan Ze's consciousness on the edge of the fugue returned to reality, he was surrounded by a tense atmosphere, Yan Ze immediately looked up at the players who were warming up in the distance, and estimated his certainty of victory.

Although most of the skaters in front of me are uneven skaters selected from the skating club, there are still several great figures, and even two athletes have won in previous domestic competitions.

Yan Ze's number was ranked fifth, and he was glad in his heart that he was not the first to start. Because the judges' scoring of the first contestant is not referenced, there will be a slight reservation when scoring. And Yan Ze wished that the later the better, because he had already started to have some stage fright early.

Time passed little by little, and he was more nervous when he saw the results of the players in front of him, because although they also made some mistakes, they didn't score low!

Gradually, looking at the noisy arena, the serious judges, the excited opponents, and the contestants in front of him were already so nervous that his heart seemed to beat to his throat!

When he was able to play, he felt that he was so nervous that his soul seemed to be withdrawn from his body, and the soles of his feet just slid into the arena and fell to the ground at the entrance! He hurriedly got up, embarrassedly forgetting to be familiar with the venue, which is a taboo during the game!

He was so frightened that he seemed to have lost his six senses! My ears are so loud that I can barely hear the sound, and my head is so confused that I can't understand my own soundtrack!

With the feeling and the usual way of training, I shouted the beat for myself with trepidation, one, two, three, sliding, spinning, jumping - and falling to the ground without accident when I landed!

He didn't feel any pain, his nerves seemed to have been paralyzed, he immediately got up and looked at Pruko outside the baffle in a panic, his first reaction when he saw Pluko was to cover his face with his hands, and then immediately let go and smiled at him relaxedly...

Yan Ze gritted his teeth and slid the dance steps, and another Axel jumped to the ground in three weeks, and his feet were unstable, and he pounced to the left, and when he was about to make a move, he immediately supported it with his hand, and it was dangerously stable! The audience was in an uproar!

A series of misses forced Yan Ze's emotions to a desperate situation, and he wanted to make a desperate bet!

He closed his eyes in pain, desperately forcing himself to compose.

When he opened his eyes again, his six senses seemed to be gradually regaining his senses, and he heard the sound of music. He immediately adjusted his pace to fit into the dance, and in an instant it was as if a cold machine was injected into his soul, and with the brisk rhythm of the music, the young man's dance was cheerful and smart...

In the final joint jump, Yan Ze's inner quadruple jump (4s), and the back outside ice triple jump (3T), the three weeks turned out to be two weeks! But fortunately, it went smoothly and there were no mistakes!

The short program is a set of 8 movements and connecting steps such as jumping, spinning, joint jumping, and joint rotation within a specified time of 2 minutes and 40 seconds.

Yan Ze passed one by one without danger, but for the sake of technical concentration, his artistic expression did not highlight his usual level.

The referee evaluates the action score according to the quality and difficulty of the athlete's completed movements, and then scores them according to the balance of the content arrangement, the consistency of the music, as well as the speed, posture, and expression of musical characteristics.

As a result, Yan Ze's final score in the short program was 83.13, and he finished fourth in the men's single figure skating category, and almost missed out on qualifying for tomorrow's free skate!

Frustration was inevitable, and as a national-level athlete who wasn't as good as the players in the club, even Pruko felt a little embarrassed.

But he still tried his best to adjust his emotions, just patted Yan Ze's back lightly, and comforted: "Don't be discouraged, prepare for tomorrow, there will be a chance tomorrow!" ”

Obviously, this kind of comfort seemed a little pale and weak, and they all knew in their hearts that unless they could play extraordinarily, Yan Ze would not be able to advance at all.

After returning to the hotel, Yan Ze locked himself alone in a room with no lights on, he sat on the sofa and crossed his legs, staring at the flickering neon outside the window with red eyes in the dark.

The bright neon reflected on his face, and at the same time, it also flickered and shone on his desperate pupils, and finally the boy buried his head, his shoulders twitching uncontrollably...

The next morning, Su Xiao unexpectedly appeared at his door, and he patted Yan Ze's slightly puffy little face with a confused face, "What, I'm so happy?" ”

Yan Ze rubbed his wistful eyes, "Why are you here?" "I was a little depressed, why was this person so idle and didn't prepare for his own competition? Come all the way here to see yourself make a fool of yourself!

Su Xiao slapped his head violently, "Who made you behave so badly as a worthless guy, I'm going to keep an eye on you at the scene today, hum.... If you dare to make a mistake, see how I clean you up! ”

Yan Ze was stunned: ...... Is this Su Xiao too enthusiastic, staring at himself to compete? .... Is this happy or excellent!

On the way to the arena, Su Xiao pinched Yan Ze's neck and taunted him loudly without concealment: "Hmph, you also said that you are a dark horse, I think you are a cow!" Why are you so stupid? Usually I think you're quite elf, why are you so bad on the ice? Saw it on TV yesterday, God! I can't believe it's you! ”

After a pause, he said: "Wrong, I should say that it was really you!" Haven't you always been so unproductive? ”
