Li Jia's road to table tennis

Coach Lin's table tennis training class has more than ten small students. Most parents do not think about how much success their children are practicing, but only use this to discipline their children and prevent them from indulging in mobile phone games. Li Jia's mother bet her child's life on ping-pong. She has heard people say that when the ball is played well, she can go to college through the shortcut of special students, and it will be easy to find a job in the workplace in the future with her strengths. The road of life is not only good at school, but also good at playing.

After Li Jia came, Coach Lin measured her ball sense, she could hit dozens of balls against the wall in one go; to measure physical fitness, she jumped around the table frog twice with her hands behind her back, and the soles of her feet seemed to be spring-loaded. Coach Lin recognized her as a piece of material for playing table tennis, and most of his thoughts were on Li Jia. He let the other children be managed by two assistant coaches, and Li Jia was personally managed by him. A technical action, he talked about the main points and made a demonstration, and Li Jia had to repeat it. Then take a basket of balls, "feed the ball" to her, and ask her to return the ball according to the norm. After a basket was played, he grabbed a basket from the net and hit it. Practice this every day. At the end of each training, Li Jia's whole body was soaked with sweat, as if she had been fished out of water. Both arms were sore and sore, and the man was so tired that he squatted on the ground for half a day and could not get up.

Li Jia has talent, practice hard, and in two years, coach Lin taught basic skills such as slam, push, rub, serve and serve, and once he came down, he practiced in a similar way. In the future, it is a tactical routine to practice.

Coach Lin told Mama Li that Li Jia was a playing material and had to be sent to the provincial sports school, where the conditions were good and the children could practice. Mama Li was very happy to hear it. But after listening to Coach Lin say that the tuition fee of the sports school for one semester was nearly 10,000 yuan, the hope in his eyes disappeared in an instant. She told Coach Lin that the family had just taken out a loan to buy a second-hand house, and after she and her husband repaid the bank loan with their monthly salaries, they only had money left to eat. I really can't come up with the money to let Li Jia go to sports school.

Coach Lin thought, I can teach everything I can, Li Jia continued to stay with me, I was delayed. But it is a poor family. Coach Lin drank a cup of wine that night, drank a glass of wine by the neck, "banged" the cup on the table, took the mobile phone and dialed a phone.

A few days later, Li Jia disappeared from the arena silently. And I didn't see her for a few years. Soon people forgot about her. Until one day, a ball friend looked at the phone and shouted, "Hey, isn't this Li Jia!" ”

The girl playing the game in the mobile phone video is indeed Li Jia, although she has grown taller, and the horn on her head has been replaced by a cabbage head. But the offensive and defensive actions on her hands, the footwork of jumping and moving under her feet, are all moves that have been familiar to everyone in the stadium in the past, especially listening to the sound of her squealing when she seized the opportunity to re-buckle a board, and the golfers watching the video all laughed.

The next day, the provincial television station broadcast that the provincial junior table tennis invitational tournament came to an end yesterday, and Li Jia, a student of the provincial sports school, won the championship in the women's group. At this point, the golfers only "Oh" out of a sound, it turned out that Li Jia had gone to the provincial sports school in recent years. "Didn't Li Jia's mother say that she couldn't afford to pay the tuition?" Some people have not forgotten the sadness of their mothers.

That night, Coach Lin drank again, happy, drank a few more drinks, and was slightly drunk. I dialed the phone of the principal of the provincial sports school Li and said, Brother, I said that Li Jia is a good seedling, I didn't look away. Thank you for giving her free tuition and working hard to cultivate. Another day please drink.
