Moreover, this year I am teaming up with Mike King, a very strong player.? Since Mike is better playing offense, so I will take care of the defense.? I can save most goals except garbage goals or shots by John Sy.? My long range attack from the back is quite effective, with some good chance turning into a garbage goal.? The combination of me and Mike had won almost every other combinations at the foosball table at least once, so we have a chance.? Somehow the foosball tournament didn&#8217;t generate as much attention as last year.? Probably those of us hang out at the foosball table knows the stregth of each other.? We can predict who has a highest chance.? Adrian, last year&#8217;s campanion, is definitely up to something.? Gota watch out for Danial and Danny as well, but at least I can block half of their shots.? The most scary shots are from John Sy and Lesile.? I can only block 25% of Lesile&#8217;s shots and almost no change against John.? If I want to win in the tournament, I gota train my blocking skills.? I wonder is my reflex too slow or I over-react.? There must be some hint before Lesile or John shots.? I have to observe carefully their hand movements to find out where they are going to shot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is time for the 2nd annual foosball tournament at work.?
