Playing around was one thing, but Xi Xi still needed to learn some real skills. Yang Yi didn't want to spoil his daughter and turn her into a useless vase. What's more, Xi Xi had also mentioned that she wanted to practice table tennis well.
Yang Yi called Xi Xi and Lan Xin, who were still playing without any progress, back into the house. He asked them to take a break, eat some watermelon, and watch a video of the table tennis match.
On the TV, two Chinese table tennis female players were playing table tennis back and forth. Whether it was the waving of their arms, the jumping of their steps, or the sound of the table tennis, all of it showed the audience an extremely fierce battle!
The two young ladies were dumbfounded!
"Wow!" Xi Xi was even more shocked. She held a piece of watermelon in her two small hands. She had only taken a bite of it a long time ago, but she was so engrossed in watching later that she forgot to eat it. The little girl watched the TV attentively. She opened her small mouth slightly and made a series of exclamations.
After watching this edited video, Yang Yi turned off the TV, turned around, and said with a smile, "How is it? Do you think they are very good? "
Xi Xi and Lan Xin both nodded in agreement. Lan Xin was busy eating the watermelon. Her small mouth was moving and she didn't have time to speak. Xi Xi said excitedly, "Papa, these two sisters are so good! I almost couldn't see clearly when they were playing! "
In order to describe it more clearly, the little girl even put down the watermelon and jumped out of the sofa. She excitedly gestured to her father. "That's right, that's right. The big sister in black hit the ball over with a whoosh. Before I could see it clearly, the big sister in red hit the ball back. So, so fast. I … I think they're really good! Even Xin Er and I can't play so fast. "
"Playing so fast, I'll be exhausted!" Lan Xin finally finished her slice of watermelon. Her mouth bulged as she said, "I feel so scared just looking at it. It's not fun to play like this!"
"They are the best ping-pong players in our country. Let alone you, even dad can't beat them. It's normal for you to think that they are very good!" Yang Yi said with a smile.
"More powerful than PaPa?" Xi Xi asked in surprise. The little girl's beautiful big eyes were wide open, as if she couldn't believe it. In her heart, her father was the most powerful.
"Of course, but this is also related to their long-term training. They have been practicing table tennis since they were young. When they were younger than you, they spent a lot of time training every day!" Of course, Yang Yi also had his own pride. He smiled and said, "If Dad could have so much training, he wouldn't necessarily be worse than them."
This was not the topic they wanted to discuss today. Yang Yi raised his voice with excitement to divert the attention of the little girls. He said with a smile, "But anyway, after watching this video, don't you feel that playing table tennis is not just the tossing of the ball that you usually play? If you add a little strength and angle, such as swinging the racket like this and hitting the ball like this, won't it be more beautiful? "
"Yes, yes!" Xi Xi was very supportive. Her little face was very excited as she nodded again and again.
"Then today, let me take you to play. Let's learn some new skills of playing table tennis, OK?" Yang Yi said with a smile.
"I want to learn! I want to learn! "Xi Xi couldn't wait to jump up in front of her father.
Lan Xin didn't say anything. She was busy eating another slice of watermelon. She wanted to play so fast, so she had to quickly replenish her energy!
…
The scene changed. Yang Yi took the two little girls to the table tennis table in the backyard. He asked Xi Xi and Lan Xin to stand opposite him.
"If you want to play table tennis well, first of all, you have to find a good sense of the ball. Dad has demonstrated this to you in the room just now. When the table tennis ball bounces back, you have to be able to find its position, so that you can bounce it back!" Yang Yi was referring to the fast-paced table tennis he casually performed in the room just now. "So now, let's try the practice of catching the ball first. I will hit the table tennis ball over, and you have to take turns to catch it back. You can use any method, just like you did before. You can bounce it back."
"But Xi Xi can hit it. I can't catch it. The table is too high." Lan Xin said with some unwillingness. "Xi Xi is taller than me, so she can catch it!"
Xi Xi stood there, scratching her head embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter. You have to believe in Dad Yang!" Yang Yi said with a smile, "I promise I can feed the ball to you comfortably!"
It started. Like doubles, Yang Yi took turns to hit the ball to Xi Xi and Lan Xin, so that they could take turns to catch the ball.
Yang Yi's table tennis skills were actually learned on the spot. But his reflexes and muscle control were better than many people. So when he fed the ball to the two little girls, he could always control the landing point, the angle and the height of the bounce. In this way, whether it was Xi Xi or Lan Xin, they could easily hit the table tennis ball back.
"Hey hey!" Although she was still a little flustered, she successfully caught the ball three times in a row. Lan Xin, who was originally a little discouraged, finally recovered a happy smile. She felt a sense of accomplishment, and her enthusiasm for playing table tennis came back.
Of course, in contrast, Xi Xi's figure was more active. The little girl jumped around and actively caught the ball. Even when it was not her turn, when it was Lan Xin's turn, she subconsciously leaned over. When she saw Lan Xin hit the table tennis ball, she came to her senses, smiled, and took back her racket.
However, although Yang Yi fed the ball to them just right, the return ball of the two little girls was like a random number, making it impossible to know where it would go. Although the ball was hanging high, the landing point was sometimes far, sometimes close, sometimes left, sometimes right, and sometimes even crooked, and the table tennis ball didn't fall on the table! Yang Yi could only rely on his long legs and arms to quickly reach the landing point of the ball and hit it back.
After practicing like this for a few rounds, Yang Yi began to let the two little girls, who were in the mood to play, change the way they held the racket.
"Just like holding a sword, you hold the racket like this, and when you see the ball bouncing here, you hit it back at an angle. Just keep this posture, move your body, and wave your arms. Let's experience this kind of playing posture, okay?" Yang Yi walked over, and guided the two little girls step by step.
"It's fun! And it's very nice to play! Those big sisters on TV play like this. "Xi Xi waved her arms excitedly, and showed it to Lan Xin.
"But, but it's a little heavy here." Lan Xin also followed suit, but her hand was a little small, and she felt that holding the table tennis ball with one hand was not very strong. Moreover, the racket was heavy, and it was not as comfortable as the straight racket she could hold with her left hand.
"Xin Er, play like before. You can try to use this different angle to hold the ball, so that the ball doesn't fly so high, and can cross the net." Yang Yi also tried his best to teach Lan Xin.
"PaPa, then, then what about me?" Xi Xi saw that her little friend happily changed back to the original posture, and she asked with some confusion.
Yang Yi said with a smile, "You play like what PaPa said just now. Whether it's the horizontal racket or the straight racket, in fact, you can play table tennis. It mainly depends on your reaction speed and the feeling of playing."
"Okay! I'll use the straight racket, I think it's super awesome, and those big sisters are very good at playing table tennis! "Xi Xi waved the racket in a decent manner, and said happily.
"Xi Xi, this is called the horizontal racket, not the straight racket." Yang Yi hesitated for a moment, and corrected this wrong concept to his daughter.
"Horizontal racket?" Xi Xi blinked her big bright eyes, and looked at her father in confusion.
The little girl couldn't hold back her words, and when she had a question, she would ask it. She saw that she stretched out her arm in confusion, and then asked, "PaPa, why is it the horizontal racket? You see, my hand is straight! "
"This is a good question!" Yang Yi laughed. In fact, he also felt that this naming method was a little awkward.
