🏓 乒乓球朋友（14）
By David
我們球隊裡有位「高手」——
名字先不說，因為大家都叫他「教練」。
為什麼叫他教練？
因為他最厲害的不是打球，而是「指導別人」！ 😂
誰發球沒過網，他會大聲說：
「你重心要放低！」
誰回球掛網，他立刻補一句：
「手腕要放鬆！」
他講得頭頭是道，姿勢比職業選手還專業，可輪到他自己上場時……球拍才抬起來，球已經飛走了。
大家都忍不住偷笑，他也不生氣，總是笑著說：
「教人容易，自己難哪！」
但說真的，教練的存在很溫暖。
他會在大家失誤時拍拍肩膀；
他會在你贏球時比大拇指；
他會在喝茶休息時講大笑話，笑到大家打嗝。
有一次我對他說：
「你是我們隊的精神領袖。」
他摸摸頭笑道：
「唉，我不是領袖，我只是陪大家一起快樂打球。」
回想起來，他就像乒乓球場上的陽光——
不一定最耀眼，卻照亮每一個人。
✨後記 Afterword
人生這個年紀，很多事情不像年輕時那麼在乎輸贏。
能在球館相見、揮拍、流汗、互相鼓勵——
這，就是最好的勝利。

Ping Pong Friend (14)
By David
In our ping pong group, there’s one “expert.”
I won’t name him, because everyone just calls him Coach.
Why “Coach”?
Because his greatest skill isn’t playing — it’s teaching others! 😂
When someone’s serve doesn’t clear the net, he’ll shout:
“Lower your center of gravity!”
When someone hits the ball into the net, he’ll quickly add:
“Relax your wrist!”
He explains every move like a professional instructor, demonstrating perfect posture —
but when it’s his turn to play, the ball is often gone before he even swings!
Everyone can’t help but laugh, and he just smiles, saying:
“It’s easy to coach, hard to play!”
Honestly, though, Coach brings warmth to our group.
When someone makes a mistake, he pats their shoulder.
When you win a point, he gives a thumbs-up.
During tea breaks, he tells jokes so funny that people laugh until they hiccup.
One day I told him,
“You’re the spirit of our team.”
He scratched his head and said with a grin,
“I’m not a leader — I just enjoy playing happily with everyone.”
Come to think of it, he’s like sunlight on the ping pong court —
not the brightest or fastest, but he brightens everyone around him.
✨ Afterword
At our age, winning or losing doesn’t matter as much anymore.
What matters is showing up, swinging the paddle, breaking a sweat, and encouraging one another.
That’s the true meaning of victory.
