The Story of Sigma Men
17. Table Tennis
To enliven the 17s this year, Gaul Private High School held various races, such as red and white clothing, tug of war, futsal, badminton, table tennis, poetry reading and much more.
Zahid is in a table tennis competition. From this morning he managed to beat his opponents in the knockout stage until finally getting into the final. From the edge of the arena many games are lined by the audience, both teachers and students.
From the beginning of the race until now Devrieya continues to watch his performance so brilliant, whether Zahid wants to be a champion because of what, it could be just looking for Devrieya's attention.
Zahid mastered various basic techniques of playing table tennis, ranging from holding a bet, service to how to smes, such as handshake or shakehand grip techniques, penhold grip techniques, and grip seemiller techniques.
Now Zahid and Martin are facing each other after getting a break for almost thirty minutes. Now they are both ready to play in the final.
Martin gave the opening service, then Zahid received the ball with a square stance technique and struck back at Martin. The ball continues to bounce off bet one, touches the table, and is hit again by bet one. At the beginning of the game has not been so hot, the tension of the game is still not high.
Devrieya who was accompanied by her three friends sat up neatly watching her. He was more amazed just the same Zahid because not only intelligent brain and high guts but Zahid's physical also can not be underestimated.
Zahid was more excited when he heard the speech from the edge of the arena, occasionally glancing his eyes at the girl, sometimes his smile appeared from a sweaty face, sometimes also shaking his heart full of martyrdom.
Suddenly Zahid with all the chakra in his body performed a forehand blow to the left of the enemy so that the ball experienced rapid movement and could not be fended off by Martin.
First point for Zahid!
Currently Zahid who provides service with a blow that is so hard to the right of the opponent. It is known that the mass of a ping pong ball is 2.7 grams or 0.0027 kg and the speed of the ball that shot is 110 mph or 49.17 mps. What is the Kinetic Energy of the ball?
Ek \= ½ m.v^2
Ek \= ½ 0.0027 kg x 49.17^2 mps.
Ek \= ½ 0.0027 kg x 2417.68 mps
Ek \= 3.26 J
Then Martin swiftly gave a backlash with the energy he released large enough so that the ball experienced an extraordinary acceleration, but Zahid didn't really want to count how much his Joule Ek2 was because he was busy with backhand blows.
So that the small ball continues to be thrown here and there. They both sell each other attacks so that their sweat does not stop pouring out. Suddenly Martin did an amazing backhand smash.
Zahid gasped and took two steps back, then deftly returned the ball without any power so the ball bounced slowly over the net, Martin slightly forward and then hit the ball back quite strongly.
The game gets more exciting, the audience is getting tense because the ball continues to go back and forth to the left and right, so the eyes of the audience were in rhythm with the ball, glancing pretty, their heads were swaying dangdut.
After Martin recorded the numbers, Zahid slightly faltered so that Martin with ingenuity and agility was able to continue to steal points after points. First set won Martin 10 – 5 !!!
If Zahid loses in the second set, Martin will be the champion. Zahid sat down for a while to catch his breath. Devrie approached her with mineral water.
“Should focus!” Devrieya. “Lumayan if the champion can money buy me to eat again. He he.”
Zahid was still grunting, unwilling to comment, then stood up and continued the game. Sure enough, in this second set Zahid appeared violent. The mineral water from Devrieya just made him more energized and because of his mineral blessing Zahid did not feel dehydrated anymore.
Focus is back again. Not only biological influences such as increased blood volume and decreased plasma concentration, but his psychology was improved and the winning mood was raised.
And one more smash forehand !
Extra points for Zahid.
Zahid's body is here and there. His feet are so agile. His hands were so nimble to fend off every attack and powerfully gave offensive. Right now the game is completely mastered.
6 – 10 !
Continue the final set.
Some time Martin looked at Zahid straight with a sharp gaze meant to knock the opponent mentally. Then Zahid gave a look back while rubbing his nose that did not itch.
But Zahid immediately changed positions with a two-step motion, then mounted the horses and was ready to return the ball with this time again with a deadly forehand blow.
Ehh!!!
The ball had touched the table and could not be hit back by Martin.
6 – 8 !
Two more points. Zahid is still focused.
Time wins don't let your guard down,
At the end of the game, you could lose.
Although he did not like literature, Zahid remembered the fragment of karmina that Uzlah had read when he was still Junior High. Yes, now he should not be careless let alone the amount of time he had the upper hand, but should stay focused until the long whistle sounded.
Uh!
Plucca!
Uh!
Plucca!
Attack after attack they kept on attacking.
Zahid almost defeated a series of attacks but also he did not want to give up. What made him lose in the first set was because of Devrieya.
Zahid lost focus because of Devrieya's face and screams from the sidelines. His eyes were toward the ball, the table and the enemy, but part of his head and heart were thinking of another. Yeah think of that one girl.
Zahid is playing, even Devrieya is tense. That's why the first set was fucked. And the second set was also won because Devrieya because of mineral water and support that is so positive.
Same with this third set. Devrieya is also the one who restores her focus and shakes her 45 spirit. This remaining chakra is so deployed to the maximum that its punch produces lazy energy to calculate its Joule number.
One more point for Zahid.
“Yeaayy!!” peekit Devrieya's.
Jesus, Inner Zahid. Ah, but he's focused.
And the ultimate forehand punch. Tuss!!!!
Enter dude!
Zahid. Just incredible!
“Yeaayy tomorrow dtraktir!!” concluded Devrieya while half-jumping.
Zahid moved away from the arena, sitting directly on the grass of the park. Breathing one-one. Clothes wet. Nearly thirty minutes he played. Then Zahid leaned his body onto a stone bench in the garden.
While with a cheerful face, Devrieya approached him with mineral water and tissue. His smile did not come off and his eyes grew smaller. Really flowery.
Devrieya ruffled her waist while chattering, “Quiz today. How many calories a beautiful girl puts out, smart and rich kid while watching the whole table tennis game from morning till noon this one played by a powerful and agile master guy is amazing? Answer is...”
Zahid who is still tired of forcing himself to answer, “Besok... akhh.. I.. I treat.”.
