On November 15, there are only 10 days left before the opening of the 2021-22 Volleyball Super League. Yang Junjing, a meritorious player of the Chinese women's volleyball team, suddenly announced her retirement on social platforms!
Yang Junjing now belongs to the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, but she is not in the list of Jiangsu team to participate in the new season of the Volleyball Super League. Yang Junjing, who is 32 years old this year, may have discussed with the team coach, no longer play for the team, and choose a special day to announce her retirement.
Why did you choose a special day to announce your retirement? It can be seen from the dynamics of the article sent by Yang Junjing. The first sentence "2001.11.15-2021.11.15, it has been a full 20 years, today finally ushered in my own volleyball graduation season." ”
Yang Junjing was born in May 1989 to a volleyball family in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. Both of her parents were former volleyball players. Children born in such families generally also engage in sports. Yang Junjing has loved to play ball since she was a child and has a talent for playing volleyball. Yang Junjing is 1 meter 90 tall and has a secondary attack.
In 2000, 11-year-old Yang Junjing was favored by the Nanjing troop women's volleyball team, and thus embarked on the road of professional athletes. Yang Junjing's article states that from November 15, 2001, it should be that day the Nanjing troop women's volleyball team officially regarded her as a member of the team. She was 12 years old. Until now, exactly 20 years. Yang Junjing has grown from a little girl to a volleyball player with full harvest and fame all over the world.
Yang Junjing participated in the 2011 and 2015 World Cups, the 2012 London Olympic Games, and the 2014 World Championships. She competed in all four competitions and won the 2015 World Cup, the 2011 World Cup, and the 2014 World Championship Runner-up. At the 2014 World Championships, she was also named the best secondary attacker, full of achievements.
Yang Junjing is solid in body, very good in physical fitness, strong adaptability, good at playing fastball, fast in anti-reaction speed, strong and heavy in slaming, and has the reputation of "violent secondary attack". She is an important scoring point for the Chinese women's volleyball team.
But such a very capable player, the player career is not smooth.
Yang Junjing entered the Nanjing army women's volleyball team in 2001. However, in 2010, the Nanjing troop women's volleyball team was disbanded, and The disheartened Yang Junjing once had the idea of retiring. At that time, Yang Junjing was only 21 years old.
Fortunately, the original Bayi women's volleyball team recruited some members of the southern women's volleyball team to expand the depth of the team's bench. Among them is Yang Junjing.
It was just that at that time, the Bayi women's volleyball vice offensive line had Famous players such as Chen Yao and Liu Congcong, and Yang Junjing had few opportunities to play.
Fortunately, the young Yang Junjing has a spirit of daring to fight and fight. Although there are not many opportunities to play, as long as she plays, she will play with all her strength. It is this spirit that creates opportunities for her.
At that time, yu Juemin, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, visited the league and selected excellent seedlings. He took a fancy to Yang Junjing, who was not very famous, and brought her to the national team.
Due to the injury of Xue Ming, the main deputy of the Chinese women's volleyball team at that time, Yu Juemin let Yang Junjing replace Xue Ming and participate in the 2011 World Cup. Although she did not enter the national team for a long time and soon participated in the World Series, Yang Junjing was not afraid of the field at all, and the slam rate was very high, and she played a very important role on the field. The Chinese women's volleyball team won the third place in that World Cup and got the ticket to enter the London Olympic Games. Yang Junjing thus gained a firm foothold in the national team. Whether it is Yu Juemin or Lang Ping, they all value her. She participated in four major competitions, all as a main player. She won the World Cup with the team and was named the best secondary attacker at the World Championships.
But at the same time that Yang Junjing ushered in the peak of her career, injuries and illnesses came like shadows. After a long period of high-intensity training, Yang Junjing's waist injuries and knee injuries were very serious. Especially at the World Military Games in October 2015, Yang Junjing suffered a serious injury from a ruptured cruciate ligament in her right leg. The injury hit her hard. To compete in the 2016 Rio Olympics, she decided to undergo surgery and go to the United States for rehabilitation. Unfortunately, before the opening of the Rio Olympic Games, she did not have a good time, and she did not have the opportunity to participate in the Rio Olympic Games, and lost the opportunity to win an Olympic gold medal. This is the pain of Yang Junjing's life.
The case of Yang Junjing may also be the reason why Zhu Ting decided to treat conservatively before the Tokyo Olympics. Unfortunately, the effect is not good.
After this injury, Yang Junjing began to decline and never entered the national team again. With the rise of Yuan Xinyue and Gao Yi, Yang Junjing can only play as a substitute in the Bayi women's volleyball team. Not only that, due to the dissolution of the Bayi women's volleyball team in 2020, all the Bayi women's volleyball players had to find a new owner.
Later, Yang Junjing joined the Jiangsu team and participated in the 2021 National Games with the team. The Jiangsu women's volleyball team won the runner-up, and Yang Junjing followed with a silver medal. An interesting thing. Her teammate Yuan Xinyue of the original Bayi team joined the Tianjin women's volleyball team, and Yuan Xinyue won the gold medal with the Tianjin women's volleyball team. Liu Yanhan joined the Liaoning women's volleyball team. Liu Yanhan won the bronze medal with the Liaoning women's volleyball team. Three teammates of the original Bayi team won gold, silver and bronze medals at the same National Games, which is also a great spectacle.
However, with the increase of age, Yang Junjing, whose state has declined a lot, is difficult to reach the previous level, so she chose to announce her retirement on the 20th anniversary of her playing career.
Finally saying goodbye, there will naturally be sadness and reluctance. A player dedicates his best youth to volleyball. She has contributed to the cause of volleyball in China, and the cause of volleyball has also made her a success. I hope that in the days to come, Yang Junjing can live a new life and be full of happiness!
