Dai Li went on and in a twinkling, he listed more than a dozen tips.

People around had been quiet for a long time, everyone silent, listening to Dai Li's listing them, one by one.

"I just saw that Yaozu Li was playing very well, but how come he became so worthless after Coach Li's comments?"

"Coach Li is awesome! He just pointed out so many problems, through just two balls. He deserves to be the coach from the national team."

"How can foreigners match us in table tennis? The Singaporean table tennis is quite great, but in front of our coaches, they are just showing their slight skills before an expert."

"Just now, Coach Li couldn't catch the ball, and I really thought he just enjoyed undeserved fame. Now it seems that he is a real expert. Although he didn't catch the balls, he observed carefully. Unwittingly, he has listed more than a dozen defects of his opponent."

The crowd thought differently, but Dai Li's performance convinced everyone.

Most of these people only knew a little about table tennis, so they might not understand all that Dai Li had said. For laymen, they just watched this for fun. Dai Li said a dozen defects in a single breath, which really made the scene funny enough. Even though some people didn't understand the content of what he said, and they couldn't judge the correctness, they couldn't help but think that Dai Li was really professional, due to his eloquent manner of speaking.

It was like a doctor explaining a disease. The more he said, and the more technical terms he used, even if the listener didn't understand it at all, he or she would feel that what the doctor said was clear and professional.

Yaozu Li's face became more and more embarrassed. He thought he played so well, that Dai Li even couldn't catch the ball. However, after Dai Li's words, he suddenly found that he actually had so many defects, it was if if he was nothing!

Lefeng Gu's expression became more embarrassed. He came here to trouble Dai Li, but now it seemed that he had only gotten himself in trouble.

With a livid face, Lefeng Gu kept making eye contact with Yaozu Li, which meant: Refute him quickly!

However, Yaozu Li showed only an innocent expression.

After all, Yaozu Li was a professional player, though a Singaporean, and so he had professionalism. He knew his own technical disadvantages, and so he could tell if Dai Li was correct. At least till now, Dai Li had said nothing wrong.

Some of his problems pointed out by Dai Li had been pointed out by Yaozu Li's coach before, but some others were not seen by his coach. Actually, what Dai Li had said was reasonable. With a little thought, Yaozu Li could see that Dai Li was right.

Yaozu Li's coach in Singapore didn't see his problems, but Dai Li could see it, which clearly showed that Dai Li was much more capable than his coach.

What was even more surprising, Dai Li pointed out so many problems, just with two hits.

How could it be possible? Just with two hits, and even with the slow motion replay, he couldn't see so many problems! Is this guy a monster? Yaozu Li thought this in his mind. With people around, who were all laymen, he was full of doubts, although, he couldn't say it to others and nobody understand it at all.

On the other side, determined not to save any face for Yaozu Li and Lefeng Gu, Dai Li continued: "No.17, the angle of your swing is not right when you serve backspins. When a normal player serves a ball with his right hand, he should cut the ball at the five to six o'clock position. If he cuts it at the seven o'clock position, the ball could spin still, although, its speed forward would be weakened and the quality of the ball would be affected. But you, as a left-handed player, you should cut it at the seven to eight o'clock position. However, you..."

"Hold on!" with an innocent face, Yaozu Li shouted suddenly and said, "I didn't serve a ball just now."

"I know. But I can guess it, from your catching, based on my years of coaching experience. Surely, if you don't believe me, you can serve a ball and see if I am right," Dai Li said mercilessly.

This defect in his serve came out of the detector, so it must exist, and hence, Dai Li said it without any qualms.

But Yaozu Li was speechless now. He knew Dai Li was right. He indeed had such a defect in his serve, so he didn't need to have a test.

Yaozu Li's reaction meant that he admitted his defect, which caused a great gasp of amazement to come from the surrounding crowd.

"Coach Li is amazing! He can detect the defect in a serve by catching! How could it be? I really learned a lot today!"

"No wonder our national team is so excellent. With such high-level coaches, undoubtedly the national team would be so amazing!"

"Coach Li is just a physical coach on the national team. Since a physical coach can be so awesome, people like Zhizhong Gu must be that much more awesome!"

It might sound incredible to detect a serve by catching a ball. Any professional coaches on the scene in any cases would believe that Dai Li was boasting. However, people around were all laymen of table tennis. Nobody had played on the national team. Judging Dai Li's behavior, they thought he was indeed awesome.

"No.18, I'll say something about your topspin..." Dai Li still didn't stop. Yaozu Li, on the other side, seemed to be utterly wretched. Now he was about to lose all his confidence, due to what Dai Li had said. However, he could not refute him at all, for Dai Li was correct.

Some people nearby were gloating and looking at him, as if with expressions to say: Your skill sucks. You deserved this!

After finishing this, Dai Li finally stopped.

Finally finished! Yaozu Li breathed a sigh of relief. He was really suffering, to be accused of eighteen defects in front of so many people. He even had the intention to hide himself into the ground!

"Give me a glass of water. I'm quite thirsty," Dai Li said to a waiter nearby.

The waiter immediately fetched a glass of water for Dai Li quickly, but Yunan Xiao advanced and took the water from the waiter. Handing it to Dai Li in person, she smiled encouragingly at him.

Yunan Xiao's expression, in the eyes of others, seemed to confirm the statement that Dai Li indeed was her boyfriend.

"Thank you,"said Dai Li, taking the glass, then drinking. Taking a long breath, he went on, "Where were we just now? Right! Just now, I said No.18, and so now let's start No.19!"

No.19? Can you just let me go? with his mouth open, Yaozu Li thought, but said no words. At this time, his eyes were filled with despair.

Some people around could not help but looking at him sympathetically.

"Oh, poor Singaporean! With so many things you can do, why did you choose to compete with us in table tennis? You asked for this yourself!"
