After resting that night, Wu Ying and Li Pingping whispered: "Do you feel ...... Something is wrong with the old class today? ”

Li Pingping also felt the same way: "Yes, I don't usually look at me properly, but today I am as kind as a Santa Claus." By the way, I thought he would persuade me to change projects again! ”

Banksy can't look down on Li Pingping's thin arms and legs, and since he came to the Chinese team for a year, he has never recognized and guided Li Pingping.

Not only the two of them, but everyone else felt the same way, always feeling that something was going to happen.

Tang Huai even vaguely guessed a possibility: "This guy has a bit of a dying taste and is kind in his words, could it be that he doesn't want to do it?" ”

He called Gu Qiantong to tell this speculation and discussed whether to probe the news, after all, the personnel turmoil will affect the training and competition of the athletes.

Gu Qiantong scolded him: "You are stupid, it's good that he doesn't do it, you just happen to be in charge of the team again." Listen to me, you just pretend you don't know, just let it be. ”

Gu Qiantong remembered a series of old accounts such as Banksy's report and smear, and he had long wished that this person would get out.

Tang Huai had no choice but to give up, and led the team to the Nevada Mountain Ski Resort the next day.

There are a lot of tourists on this snow resort, most of them are on the beginner and intermediate slopes, and the professional track ready for the competition has been circled, and a group of staff are driving the snow groomer and the equipment for line painting to do maintenance.

Many teams of foreign athletes stood outside to observe the setting of the track.

Before coming, Tang Huai checked the public information, the length of the track is 930 meters, the drop is 145 meters, a total of 6 corners and 27 obstacles.

Just from the data, he didn't feel right, the standard course was 1050 meters, with five corners. This track is about 100 meters shorter, with a bend and more obstacles, how compact is it?

Now when I arrived at the scene, I instantly gasped: "This track is terrible!" ”

"What's wrong Coach? Any questions? ”

Li Changyi hadn't seen anything wrong yet, and when he heard Tang Huai say this, he immediately humbly asked for advice.

Tang Huai pointed to the middle of the track: "Look here, here, and here, the three corners are very fast, but there are jumps before entering the corner, which means that you have to enter the corner when you glide in the air, and the space for landing adjustment is very limited, and you will rush out of the track if you are a little faster or make a mistake." ”

"Ah, I see. You have to slow down and turn right after you land, right? Then it is very important to use the snow slalom to grab the line. Li Changyi squatted down and drew a simple track plan in the snow, and he was already able to find the golden path through experience.

"Huh, rubbing snow? As soon as you slow down in the snow, people will overtake you! I guess there's something wrong with that. ”

Tang Huai told everyone to observe more and see how foreign players adapt to this track, especially the Spanish athletes who are fighting at home.

It's no secret that every track chooses to benefit its own people.

Montafon had a super deep wave pack, and Austrian Hemerin won with great ease;

Italy's Cervinia was like an ice rink, with Italians Somaliva and Moioli winning;

The fog filled the eight bends in Canada, and the result was that Canadian young rookie Grondin shone and won the silver medal.

So he is fully convinced that the Spaniard has a good chance of mastering the correct skating on this track.

Only one of the top 10 athletes in the FIS standings is a Spaniard, and that is the young Edgivar!

Li Changyi remembered that this young man with a beard had been looking for a long time in the crowd of people in the snow resort, but unfortunately there were too many Spaniards with beards, and everyone was wearing helmets and snow goggles, and it was difficult to identify them by the national flag logo on their clothes.

Banksy went to make an appointment for the use of the track, and it took an extra 200 euros to get the news: "This track is postponed by 1 hour every morning and closed 1 hour early in the afternoon, which is reserved for Spanish athletes to close their tactics, so you can't see people's tactical drills." ”

Tang Huai asked Banks for confirmation: "How will you pass such a curve?" ”

Banksy grinned, used the palm of his hand as a ski, and made a turning gesture: "Rubbing the snow to turn, the angle of the exit from the corner is a little larger, you will lose some of your speed, but it is safe." ”

Tang Huai was still unwilling: "Is it possible not to rub the snow?" Slipping past the blade? ”

Banksy nodded: "Yes, but it's very difficult and dangerous." For example, if you fall on a stuck blade, you may also rush straight off the track. ”

After listening to the translation's paraphrase, Li Changyi couldn't help but interject: "What's the difficulty?" ”

"It takes a long time of training to be able to accurately find the landing point, and as soon as you land, you can use the blade to make a giant slalom close to the ground, and even after a lot of training, the success rate will not exceed 70%."

Banksy frowned and gestured with his palm again.

This time, his palm tilted, using the edge of his palm to simulate the angle of the blade.

Li Changyi smiled and said eagerly: "The success rate of 70% is very high, and I dare to try 30%." ”

After the maintenance of the track, foreign athletes went up to test one after another, Li Changyi, Tang Huai and others all stared at this three-bend section, and found that seven out of ten people chose to rub the snow to slow down, two unbelieving fell on the track, and the remaining one rushed off the track and was carried away.

Li Changyi was not convinced, waited for half an hour and finally it was his turn to go up to experience the track, the first 4 corners he skated very smoothly, the jumping platform here, the wave bag setting is in line with the natural law of the slope of the mountain, every jump will jump high, there is a feeling of soaring and gliding, the slope after landing accelerates quickly, the turning is extremely silky, and he even has a long-lost hearty feeling.

However, there is trouble when it comes to the fifth corner, which is the last of the three consecutive corners, as Tang Huai said, this corner is too sharp, and a relatively high jumping platform is set up before entering the corner, after the continuous acceleration of the first half of the track, Li Changyi's speed is close to 70 miles when he takes off.

He didn't want to slow down, so he tried to press down on his toes before landing, so that the front edge of the ski touched the snow first, so as to increase the depth of the snow, hoping to use the curvature and elasticity of the ski to counter the impact and the subsequent centrifugal force.

The ideal is very plump, the reality is too skinny, and in the few tenths of a second when he landed, he didn't have time to make balance adjustments, so he fell directly with a stuck blade and fell into the snow.

Fortunately, there was no big problem with the protection of protective gear, so he quickly got up and waved at Tang Huai, indicating that he had no problem.

Tang Huai and Banks were still very worried, and ran over to check the joints everywhere.

Seeing that Li Changyi had failed, Wu Ying, Zhang Zhiwang and others did not dare to try, and carefully rubbed the snow to cross the corner.

In fact, it's also very cool to rub the snow, you can't stick to the ground in the giant slalom, and the same is true for others, when everyone doesn't have a good way to go through the corner smoothly and quickly, then everyone is still on a horizontal line.
