Chapter 342: Guidance

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

A table tennis table was suddenly placed in the banquet hall, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone. They began to talk in low voices and asked what had happened. Even the foreigners in Harman's team put down their knives and forks to look at the table with great interest. Perhaps these foreigners thought it was an impromptus performance of the celebration banquet.

What does this mean? Xiong Zhou pushed his way through the crowd of onlookers and saw Lefeng Gu at first sight.

Lefeng Gu! What the hell are you doing?! Xiong Zhou knew Lefeng Gu and understood his virtue. When he saw the table tennis table in front of him and then looked at Lefeng Gu, he could easily know that Lefeng Gu wanted to find fault with Dai Li.

Though Xiong Zhou was a senior manager in Dingtian Club, he was just an ordinary employee with a relatively high salary. He knew that he couldn't handle such an arrogant dandy as Lefeng. On the other hand, Dai Li didn't look well, as he stood in front of the table tennis table.

Yaozu Li is a professional table tennis player. Lefeng Gu asked me to give some guidance to a professional player, so what did he want? In addition, he didn't tell me on purpose, as if he wanted to embarrass me on purpose?

Dai Li was quite indignant, but his outward expression was more relaxed. According to the detector, Yaozu Li had many shortcomings, both in skills and in physicality, so when compared with the top table tennis players of the national team, he had no merit at all.

"Well, in that case, I'll give you some guidance!" Dai Li said to himself, as he casually served a ball.

Dai Li, after all, worked in the national table tennis team for a period of time. Although he worked as a fitness coach, he also learned a lot of skills about table tennis. So, his serve and posture were very standard, even in the eyes of the professionals.

However, Yaozu Li swung his bat violently, giving the ball back to Dai Li immediately. Obviously, Yaozu Li had done his best.

Dai Li is not a professional table tennis player, and he knew that even if he received the ball, it would be a foul ball, so he gave up catching the ball and let it out of the table. Yaozu Li immediately put on a complacent smile, and looked at Dai Li triumphantly. Dai Li, however, didn't take it seriously, as he picked up the ball from the ground and served the second ball leisurely.

This time, Yaozu Li immediately attacked after Dai Li's service, and not surprisingly, Dai Li didn't catch the ball.

"Coach Li, why can't you catch the ball? As a table tennis coach, you can't catch a ball, so aren't you ashamed of yourself?" said Lefeng Gu.

Dai Li was about to answer, when a woman's voice chimed up.

"Lefeng Gu, this was the celebration banquet of Dingtian Club, not your home, so please quit your monkey business."

The crowd looked back, seeing that Yunan Xiao had come.

"Here comes the heroine!" Lefeng Gu secretly cheered, then said, "It's not monkey business, I heard that there was a table tennis coach, who had worked in the national table tennis team, so I came here on purpose to learn some skills from him. Nevertheless, he couldn't catch the ball, so he was a fraud! Why was he on the coaching team before?"

"Previously, coach Li was a fitness coach on the national table tennis team, so he was mainly responsible for the physical training, rather than skills. When he came to Dingtian Club, he was still responsible for the physical training," said Yunan Xiao.

"Ha ha, Yunan Xiao, why are you so anxious to protect your boyfriend? He is just eye candy!" Lefeng Gu said with his eyes looking at Dai Li, then he deliberately showed a contemptuous expression and added, "Oh, he is not handsome at all, so he can't even be called eye candy!"

Almost everyone was very surprised at Lefeng Gu's words.

"Did you hear what he said? He said coach Li is Mr. Xiao's boyfriend? Really?"

"How come! It can't be true, as there is too much difference between them."

"Coach Li has only been on the team for one year, and is now the boyfriend of Mr. Xiao. It seems that he will be promoted soon!"

"I just can't believe it, Coach Li was so honest, but it's so amazing that he was good at striking up a conservation with girls. When did they start?"

Everyone had their own ideas, but most of them were surprised and couldn't believe what Lefeng Gu said.

Lefeng Gu added, "I am one of the shareholders of the club. Although I am not involved in the management of the team, I still have the right to supervise the operation, so that I can know whether my investment is worth it. Now I know that there was an unqualified coach on the coaching team."

Lefeng Gu spoke, while looking defiantly at Dai Li.

He picked on me on purpose, as he just wanted to embarrass me. Why are there so many stupid people everywhere?! He thought to himself, and then he replied, "I'm a coach, my job is to find the technical shortcomings of players and then help them to improve themselves, not to compete with them. If each coach is better than the athlete, then why do we need athletes?"

"You're probably right, but you can't catch the ball, so how can you compete with an athlete?" Lefeng Gu said indifferently.

"The reason why I didn't catch the ball, was that I was observing Yaozu Li, as I wanted to find his technical shortcomings," Dai Li replied immediately.

"All right, can you tell us what you have observed?" said Lefeng Gu.

"That's right, can you tell me what technical shortcomings I have? I doubt you know," Yaozu Li said in Mandarin, with a strong accent.

Well, now that you've asked me to help you, I'll give you some guidance! Dai Li smiled confidently, then he reached out his right index finger with a "one" gesture and said:

"First, you have a problem in your pace when you catch the ball. You are left-handed, so when you prepare to catch the ball, the body's center of gravity should be on the left leg, and then you should turn your body to the left and use the left leg as the fulcrum. However, when you caught the ball, the body's center of gravity moved to the right, which would affect the stability of your upper body's movements. I guess that's the reason why you have this problem, as that your previous coaches used to catch the ball with their right hands."

Dai Li added, "Secondly, you have a problem with the topspin of your forehand, as the amplitude of your arm swing is not big enough. The bigger of the instantaneous physical strength of your catch, the better the topspin will be. But the amplitude of arm swing will affect the exertion of your physical strength. If you want to catch a long ball of your opponent, your arm swing will cause a low return and the ball will go out- of- bounds finally."

He continued: "Thirdly, you have a problem with your spike. When you make a spike, you didn't lock your wrist. The spike of table tennis requires the player to lock their wrist, so if you test your wrist, the speed of your catch will be fast, but the course of the ball will be unstable, which will lower the success rate of the spike. The first requirement of a spike is success rate, rather than the angle."

"Fourthly, the angle of the bat, when you prepare to catch the ball...

"Fifthly, when you catch the ball…"

"Sixthly…"

As Dai Li went on, Yaozu Li's triumphant complexion became more and more embarrassed.
