Chapter 39 Let's Play Table Tennis

On January 1, Bochum ushered in the first game after the winter break.

This is a warm-up match, and they will challenge Cologne away.

Cologne is also a Bundesliga team, currently ranked fifth, while Bochum is ranked No.14, not far from the relegation zone.

The warm-up match mainly focused on recovery and training, so the head coach did not ask for results. In the end, the team lost to the Bundesliga Bundesliga powerhouse [-]-[-].

It is worth mentioning that Shen Peng also got a chance to play for 10 minutes. Although his performance was still a bit unbearable, it was better than the previous trial training. At least he did not make some low-level mistakes. This is the result of these days of training.

In this game, the head coach did not allow Shen Peng to shoot from long distances. After all, if the opponent had defenses, he would definitely do a targeted defense, and it would be difficult to score goals. Therefore, in this kind of innocuous game, Shen Peng did not let Shen Peng expose his long-range shooting ability.

After returning to the club, he immediately ran to the court. Although he only played for 10 minutes, he learned a lot from the 10 minutes of the game.

Combining the situation of his teammates on the court and his own situation after playing, he finally knows why he performed so poorly before.

The problem is the rhythm.

In the past, he adapted to the rhythm of the amateur league. After he got the ball, he would have a long time to adjust and think carefully about his next move; but here, he had no time at all. When his teammates passed the ball, almost when they received the ball, they had already passed it.

So it seems that his strength is not up to standard.

Another point is that there is a lot of physical confrontation here, which he felt during the trial training before, but he only paid attention to it after he really experienced a game.

If the physical confrontation is weak, it is easy to lose balance in the confrontation. In this way, one's own ball may become the opponent's ball in a blink of an eye after physical contact.

Only when these two points are completely resolved, can he play normally here.

……

After practice, he returned to his dormitory and found a person standing at the door.

This person is a woman with freckles on her face and short flaxen hair. She looks similar to herself. She is about 17 years old and seems to be thinking about something at this time.

Shen Peng doesn't know this person, and the dormitory here is a single room, so if this woman didn't make a mistake, then she came to him.

"Hello!" Shen Peng greeted.

"Ah, hello!" The woman exclaimed.

"Sorry for scaring you."

"it's okay no problem!"

"You came here...to find me?"

"Well, my name is Xi Beier, and your name is Shen Peng, right? I came to you today to ask for advice on how to play table tennis."

It was only then that Shen Peng discovered the table tennis racket Xi Beier was holding, but his table tennis level was still at the level of a junior high school student.

When he was in junior high school, there was not enough space for them to play in physical education class, so most of the students chose basketball and table tennis. The former only needs a ball and a small field, and a few classmates can play all afternoon; the latter is also easy to carry with balls and rackets.

So let alone asking him to teach others table tennis, it is a good thing that he is not taught by others, so he said: "But I don't know how to play table tennis very much."

"You won't?" Xi Beier looked at Shen Peng as if she had discovered something incredible.

"Is it strange?"

"You can't, my God!" Sibel covered her mouth.

"Is it so exaggerated..." Shen Peng couldn't help but said in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be understandable, as if he would be surprised to hear that a Brazilian can't play football, but Sibel's emotions may be a little richer.

Seemingly aware of her gaffe, Sibell hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, I didn't think of you!"

"It's okay." Shen Peng smiled.

"Are you really...not at all?" Xi Beier seemed to have not given up yet, looking at Shen Peng expectantly.

"Uh... a little bit." Shen Peng recalled his experience in school, and he should only know a little bit.

"Then can you play a game with me?" Sibel's eyes lit up again.

"Aren't there other people here, why are you looking for me?"

"Hey, the other people in the club are not my opponents. It's too boring to play against them." Sibel complained, and then seemed to remember something, "The last time when the No. 8 in your team first came, I also thought it was from your country. When I found him, he said he was not, which made me happy in vain."

"Okay..." Shen Peng finally agreed, and Xi Beier should be talking about Tasaka Yusuke.

According to Shen Peng's previous personality in China, he would not have agreed to such a request, but now, with the intention of making more friends, he agreed. Anyway, he is in the club, and it won't take long, so it's time for exercise.

"Speaking of which, if I hadn't watched our club's game today, I wouldn't have known you were here." On the way to the pool table, Sibel was like a chatterbox.

It dawned on Shen Peng that Xi Beier was still a football fan of the club.

"However, you played really badly. If this continues, our team may really have to fight for relegation this season." Sibel spoke very directly.

Shen Peng knew what she was telling the truth, so he didn't care. He just smiled, "Today is just a warm-up match. Maybe the team's performance will improve when the official league starts."

"Okay, let me borrow your good words." Sibel said, and the two had already arrived at the billiard room.

When he came to a table, Shen Peng looked at the woman who was eager to try, and couldn't help but remind him: "My level is really average, you'd better not have too much hope."

"Hee hee, even if your strength is mediocre, after defeating you, I can brag to my companions!" Sibel didn't care at all.

Shen Peng was speechless, but still picked up the racket and waited for Xi Beier to serve.

The corner of Xi Beier's mouth curled up, and she threw the ball with her left hand. When the ball fell, she swung her racket with her right hand, and the walnut-sized ping pong ball bounced to Shen Peng's side.

Seeing this, Shen Peng had sharp eyes and quick hands, and smashed him without hesitation!

After the ball bounced and flew past Xi Beier's cheek, she looked at Shen Peng with a look of surprise. Does this mean that the level of table tennis is not high?

Shen Peng was also a little surprised. If the ball was in their school, let alone 80.00%, [-]% would be hit back.

"You...you only know a little bit?" Sibel couldn't help asking.

"In our school, I was indeed at the bottom." Shen Peng said honestly.

Xi Beier saw that Shen Peng's expression did not seem to be lying, and comforted herself in her heart, maybe Shen Peng's ball just now was a coincidence?
"Okay, come again!" She picked up the table tennis ball, came to the table, and said to Shen Peng.
