Chapter 9 09 Advanced Three Three
He Hui relaxed her shoulders, tilted her head, and began to slide normally. Feeling her body gradually warming up, she began to prepare to realize her previous bold words.
She first tried a few 3Lz on the court, got a feel for the edge and the take-off, and landed very smoothly. After practicing for a while, she has almost never made a mistake in her triple jump.
"It is indeed high, floating and far away." Zhu Jianyong stood next to Lin Xiaoman again without knowing when.
"If I can do the jump combo, I think my goe can be increased to 2, but if I focus too much on the high and far jumps, I will lose sight of the big picture."
"Humph, if you don't want it, our provincial team is always welcome."
"I call this striving for excellence, don't try to sow discord."
He Hui didn't even hear the two men "fighting for her favor". She was now focused on how to complete a perfect 3Lz+3T.
The ice rink was quite open in front of him, and He Hui stepped up to speed, and after three or five steps, he felt like he was riding the wind. Wrapped in the wind, He Hui felt his body become very light, and his feet were free and comfortable.
Ice tapping is the driving force to help you fly, followed by a 3Lz jump with a 90% success rate.
The body experiences a brief moment of weightlessness. The feeling of flying is really addictive!
After a perfect landing on the ice, it was time to overcome gravity again for the second jump. He Hui used the speed of the previous jump to spread his wings again, quickly tightened his body and began to spin.
One circle, two circles, three circles, the axis is very straight and there is no problem with the number of circles.
Now, only the final ice falls!
He Hui held her breath, feeling the skate of her right foot touching the ice. The sharp blade cut out a smooth curve, clearly carving out the path of success.
His arms, which were originally opened to maintain balance, waved vigorously in the air, and his feet drew an arc again, showing He Hui's inner excitement.
"Beautiful!" Lin Xiaoman beside her shouted.
But He Hui did not stop. He accelerated and circled the ice rink again, then started the next jump without stopping.
Swish, swish, two consecutive clean landings
——It’s still a 3Lz+3T combo, beautiful and looks effortless.
In less than a minute, He Hui completed his third consecutive jump, especially the second jump, which was even more impressive in terms of height and distance.
"I can't watch it anymore." Zhu Jianyong put his hands behind his back, his tone full of sourness.
Lin Xiaoman replied proudly: "There's no need to be too envious."
Zhu Jianyong was so angry that he turned around and left to coach the players on the other side.
He Hui didn't notice the incident on the sidelines. She felt that she had completely regained her form in continuous jumping and planned to continue practicing while the iron was hot.
This time, she is going to try 3F+3T.
He Hui skated half a circle, stepped from one side of the court, rushed to the other side, jumped on the ice, and after skating out perfectly, quickly connected with a triple Lutz.
"The difference between the outer blade and the inner blade is so obvious." Tang Xiao was attracted by He Hui's three consecutive jumps. He stared at her the whole time and couldn't help but sigh.
Tan Ling's eyes changed from dark to bright and then she looked away. She forced herself not to look at He Hui and worked harder to polish her hook jump with a blurry blade.
He Hui performed 3Lz+3T and 3F+3T jump combinations alternately on the field, and occasionally did two 2A+3Ts. He looked relaxed, as if he was having fun on the ice rink.
After the jump time was over, Lin Xiaoman patted He Hui's shoulder vigorously and said, "You got two advanced three-threes in one go. You're so amazing."
"Then I don't need to change anything, right?" He Hui held her knees and breathed slightly. The twenty or so consecutive jumps just now had consumed a lot of her energy.
"Well, you are awesome, so it's up to you."
A flamboyant smile appeared on He Hui's lips, and she returned to the court to complete her spinning practice.
He Hui was like a catfish that was suddenly thrown into a pool of clear water in the provincial team, disrupting the calm atmosphere and causing many team members to involuntarily start a mode of diligent practice and crazy involution.
Tan Ling doubled her special training time on jumping with the blade, and Tang Xiao became more interested in gliding, which he originally disliked. Even a bunch of young men's singles athletes whose success rate of triple-triple jumps was worrying were working hard to improve their stability.
"Ahhh, how can there be someone so strong yet so much younger than us!"
"Other people's cheating lives, we should hurry up and practice."
"My legs were so weak when I walked down the stairs after practicing yesterday!"
Zhu Jianyong was pleased with this and happily patrolled the field. If he had a long beard, he would have stroked it up and down.
*
In the blink of an eye, He Hui, the catfish, swam to 2008.
In order to test the results, Lin Xiaoman hoped that He Hui would participate in the National Youth Championship in October. After contacting many parties, she arranged a one-month overseas choreography schedule for He Hui.
The choreographer invited this time is Mary Connie from Canada, who is already in her fifties. She is a well-known choreographer in the field of figure skating, and has choreographed several of the podium winners. Of course, the price is not cheap.
But He Hui's family is still supportive of the children's interest development and even prepared a chartered plane for them to travel.
"It's great to be rich." Lin Xiaoman was holding a glass of red wine on the plane, looking at the cotton candy-like clouds outside the window, and said with emotion, "It was only when I was promoted to the adult group that I had the opportunity to go abroad to choreograph."
Figure skating, after all, requires wealth as a foundation, and He Hui felt this even more deeply on this chartered plane.
But she felt a little uneasy. Her parents supported her now, but what if they didn't want to do it anymore? What should she do? Thinking about these headaches, He Hui frowned.
Lin Xiaoman turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried about something?"
"I'm worried that I'll run out of money one day." He Hui replied half-jokingly.
"Huh?" Lin Xiaoman raised her eyebrows. "Miss, your family is unlikely to go bankrupt, right?"
"I mean myself."
Lin Xiaoman supported her head in confusion. When she couldn't figure it out, she just shook her head and took a sip of red wine.
He Hui drank a sip of milk from the cup, put on an eye mask, and started to catch up on her sleep and cope with the jet lag. After years of training on business trips, she was already familiar with these procedures.
It takes 13 hours to fly from China to Canada. The comprehensive facilities of the charter flight greatly reduce the fatigue caused by the long-distance flight.
After getting off the plane, the cold January air rushed into my nose all of a sudden, as if it was going to freeze me completely.
"Let's go. The ice rink is quite far from the airport. It will probably be evening before we reach the nearby hotel." Lin Xiaoman had choreographed for Mary Connie several times before and was relatively familiar with the place, so she took the initiative to act as a guide.
We swayed all the way north, with the afterglow of the setting sun shining through the car windows, and finally we arrived at our destination.
Mary-Connie invited them all to her home for a welcome dinner and to chat about their ideas for the show's song selection.
Generally speaking, choreographers keep their work and private lives separate. But Lin Xiaoman is Mary's old friend after all, and they have worked together for many years, so He Hui is the one who got a ride on her.
Mary's villa is located in a remote countryside. It snowed two days ago, covering the cottage and the path in front of the door with a layer of icing.
"Long time no see, you've become a coach now." Mary was very emotional, "I specially prepared your favorite Wellington beef, but it took me a lot of time."
"Then I'm not polite. I just got off the plane and I'm a little hungry." Lin Xiaoman was more lively in front of Mary. To be more precise, she was childish.
He Hui looked at the decoration of the villa. Under the dim warm light, the cherry wood cabinets and fabric sofas blended a classic and modern temperament.
"What are you looking at? Come and sit down, I'll introduce you." Lin Xiaoman called He Hui.
He Hui then realized that her occupational disease from her previous life was playing tricks on her at an inappropriate time. She retracted her gaze and said hello to the choreographer Mary.
Mary-Connie took the Wellington beef out of the oven, cut it into thick slices, and served it to the table while it was still steaming hot. It looked delicious and was undoubtedly her specialty. She opened a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, and with a bang, the aroma of the wine filled the air instantly.
After a brief exchange, the topic at the table quickly fell on He Hui.
“How about Beethoven’s Fifth Violin Concerto for the short program?” Mary asked.
"Spring Sonata?" He Hui recalled the energetic song and smiled. "I like it very much."
Mary nodded, her white hair shining in the light. "How about the long program of dancing the Nutcracker? Although the style is somewhat similar, it's the first season, and the main thing is to impress the judges."
"Okay." He Hui had no objection to this.
Several people then discussed about the arrangement and combination of jumps, which three sets of consecutive jumps to arrange in the long program, and how many jumps to put in the second half of the program, all of which needed to be sorted out one by one.
The last ray of sunset outside the window disappeared below the horizon, mist gradually stained the glass, and the atmosphere candles on the dining table were about to burn out.
Mary didn't know He Hui's specific situation very well, so she asked, "Can you physically support the four jumps in the second half? The first three and the last four."
"No problem." He Hui answered confidently.
But the next day after she said this, Mary-Connie let her know what it meant to eat whatever you want but not say whatever you want. The intensity was really high.
In order to convey every part of the choreography clearly, this short program of just 2 minutes and 40 seconds was broken down bit by bit, and each movement was rehearsed over and over again. In particular, Mary hoped that He Hui would remember and complete the parts that were combined with music.
“Although jumps account for the vast majority of the score, the expression of a complete program is inseparable from the rhythm of the music.” Mary is a choreographer who has been creating dances since the six-point era, and her style tends to focus more on artistic expression.
"Okay." He Hui's mental state was stable and he did not lose his patience while polishing it over and over again.
After all, as someone who has lived two lives, and with the bonus of ballet, He Hui's understanding of music is clearly beyond that of children of her age. Whether it is the emotional expression of the accents and hand details, or the grasp of rhythm and music, it makes Mary's eyes light up.
But appreciation means stricter requirements.
"Your skating ability is pretty good. You can try to move faster in this section. Your body feels a little heavy now."
There was no expression on Mary's face when she spoke, but He Hui's heart sank.
He Hui has no other shortcomings except that he has a heavy idol image.
Please, this is the first time she has been told that she is bulky since her rebirth! Now she almost wants to step on the Hot Wheels and show Mary how to walk fast! !
