I remember when I was in the second grade of elementary school, I was inexplicably hooked on table tennis.
Maybe it was because we had fewer entertainment activities in those days, maybe it was because I envied the senior classmates who played ball freely, or maybe it was because my ball was not bad, every physical education class played table tennis, and the classmates in the class took turns to fight, and they all lost one by one, and it was not easy to defeat me. A few unconvinced boys were indignant and took turns to challenge, but they were still beaten by me and fled. At this time, I was showing off my might on the stage, showing my teeth and claws, thinking that I could fight invincible opponents all over the world.
As the saying goes: people stumble, horses stumble. I never thought that one day I would lose to a girl, and I lost badly. Here's how it happened: One day, the physical education teacher still arranged for us to play table tennis, and I was still on the stage. At this time, a girl came up, looking very weak, I naturally didn't take her in my eyes, and when she stood still in front of the table tennis table, I was ready to start serving, thinking: I'll give you a dismount first, and send a spinning ball to make you unable to parry. I made up my mind, I held the ball in my left hand, waved the racket with my right hand, only to hear the sound of "click", the table tennis ball flew out like an arrow from the string, and when I was about to reach the opponent's position, the ball suddenly hit the net, like a kite with a broken line, and fell headlong, it turned out that my ball was too low and fell into the net. "Good shot!The students gloated.
I lost a ball 0-1 first, and it was my turn to serve, this time I didn't dare to be careless, the ball was sent steadily, only to see the opponent with a racket, the ball flew back quickly, the ball was very erratic, as if it was going out of bounds!But I still didn't dare to be careless, I stepped forward to catch the ball, who knew that the ball was impartial and just landed on the side of the table, becoming a veritable edge ball, also called a balloon, even if you are a fairy, you can't save it, of course I didn't catch it. "Good shot!"The classmates cheered happily, and I knew they were sincere this time, because they all wanted the other girl to win. And after I lost two goals in a row, it was really not in my favor. At that time we played a best-of-four system, which meant that if I lost one more goal, I would have lost the game completely. Now the score on the court is 0-2, change the serve 2-0, it is the turn of the other girl to serve, I saw her at will, the ball has quickly come to my eyes, I quickly caught the ball, the other party is not to be outdone, specifically attacking my left side, I concentrate on the battle, I also pressed the ball on her left side during the scramble, although she barely caught it, but the ball was out of bounds, 2-1, I finally pulled back a goal. Then the opponent served, this time she changed the way of serving, I saw her left hand throw the ball up, the racket of the right hand sharpened the ball, the ball immediately came to me with a spin, I held the racket tightly, eyes stared at the ball, just the moment the ball fell, something unexpected happened, I saw the ball fall on the table and made a strange sound, the ball did not bounce normally, but only bounced up a little high, and then turned around and down, I was caught off guard and the ball did not catch..."Good!"There was fierce applause in my ears, and my classmates danced and ran to tell each other that I had lost and finally lost.
I felt very lost, but why did the ball suddenly bounce?I picked up the ball and looked at it, only to see a small place on it that was concave, it is estimated that the ball originally collapsed, the teacher scalded it with boiling water, but there was still a small place to go down to the square, and if the ball fell in this place, the ball would lose its normal bouncing ability. I see, I thought to myself: this damn bastard, you're messing me up. Then I thought: how nice it would be if I could have a brand new table tennis ball myself!
The thought was just circling in my head, and it was getting stronger. But in that era when food and clothing were difficult to solve, I still wanted to play, it was really whimsical. But I still inquired around, and finally learned that the ** of a table tennis ball is nine cents, and it can only be bought in the county seat. It turned out to be such a difficult thing to do, no wonder none of the table tennis balls in our school were decent, and some were already very dilapidated;Some of them were cracked, and the teacher taped them togetherSome of them are the villains who hurt me, a huge school, just a few broken balls, I want to have a new one, it's not easy to say.
However, the emperor paid off, and just as I was about to give up on this idea, things took a turn for the worse. One day, my mother had to write a letter to my father, who was working in the field, and my mother dictated it, and I was responsible for writing it. It's all some simple greetings: are you busy with work, pay attention to when your body will go home, etc., the letter was written, I read it to my mother, I saw that my mother was very satisfied with it, so I had the courage to say to my mother: "Mom, I really want a table tennis ball." Unexpectedly, my mother agreed: "Yes, but you have to tell your dad and let him buy it for you, will you write?"I said, "Yes, but what if you want to write it in **?"Mom pointed to a blank space at the bottom of the letter and said, "Just write it here." So, when I was in the second grade of elementary school, I wrote crookedly with a pen at the bottom of the letter: Dad, you go home and buy me a table tennis ball.
After the letter was sent, I waited every day for my father to come home. Finally, one day, when I came back from school, I saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure in the house from a distance, wasn't that my father?I ran up happily and shouted, "Daddy!".”
Dad gently stroked my head with his hand and said, "You've grown taller again." Then he grabbed a handful of colorful candy from his bag and gave it to me, and then, as if playing a trick, he pulled out an egg-sized object from his bag and shook it in front of my eyes: ping pong!I exclaimed, and took the ping-pong ball from my father's hand, this is the treasure of my dreams, only to see it crystal clear, shining like snow. There were patterns and words on the ball, and I couldn't put it down, and my dad asked, "Do you like it?"I said, "I like it so much, thank you Dad!.""Actually, I can't use the word like to describe this moment, I'm so happy that I'm about to faint.
Before going to bed at night, I hid the ping pong ball on the top of the wardrobe at home, flipped it over with a cup to buckle the ball, and then went to sleep beautifully.
In the dream, the table tennis ball and my friends were jumping and playing to our heart's content, and the crisp sound of the ball was like a beating note, pleasant to the ear!The table tennis ball was jumping in front, and I was chasing after it, and suddenly, the ball stopped, and I was caught off guard and stepped on it!"Ahh"I was so surprised that I picked up the ball and looked at it, and I broke it, so what can I do?I was distressed and sad, holding the ball and crying, crying and crying, crying and crying, I woke up, opened my eyes and saw that there was darkness all around.
When it was dawn, everyone was still sleeping. I quietly got up, quietly moved a stool and climbed up, and quietly removed the table tennis ball from the top of the wardrobe, and I wanted to make sure that my beloved table tennis ball was really intact.
