As another champion team after five consecutive championships of the Chinese old women's volleyball team, the status of the golden generation in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team can be described as brilliant. And the head coach Chen Zhong and Chen Guidance, who created this champion division, can be called the witnesses and inheritors of countless glories of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and like Lang Ping, the brilliant achievements of the Chinese women's volleyball team have long been inseparable from him, Chen Zhonghe, who is also the composition of the spirit of the women's volleyball team.
In 1979, Chen Zhonghe was promoted from Fujian to the national women's volleyball team as a playing coach, during which the national women's volleyball team won the "five consecutive championships"; in 1989, Chen Zhonghe served as an assistant coach of the national women's volleyball team, assisting the head coach Hu Jin to lead the national women's volleyball team to win the runner-up of the 11th World Women's Volleyball Championship, the runner-up of the 6th World Cup Women's Volleyball Tournament, and the seventh place of the 25th Olympic Games, and then returned to Fujian to lead the Fujian women's volleyball team from A B to A; in 1995, he accepted Lang Ping's invitation and upgraded the national women's volleyball team as a coach. Assisted Lang Dao to lead the national women's volleyball team to win the third place in the 7th World Cup Women's Volleyball Tournament, the runner-up of the 26th Olympic Games, the champion of the 9th Asian Women's Volleyball Championship, the runner-up of the 13th World Championships, and the champion of the 13th Asian Games; in 1999, he continued to serve as the coach of the national women's volleyball team, and assisted the head coach Hu Jin to lead the national women's volleyball team to win the 10th Asian Women's Volleyball Championship, the fifth place of the 8th World Cup Women's Volleyball Tournament, and the fifth place of the 27th Olympic Games.
At the beginning of 2001, Chen Zhonghe, the "elder of the Five Dynasties", finally upgraded from "daughter-in-law" to "mother-in-law" after the sixth "entry into the DPRK" and served as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team. His many years of national team coaching career and rich experience in international competitions make him familiar with the current situation of the international women's volleyball team, relying on domestic outstanding players, to create a new national team that combines the traditional old women's volleyball tactics and new strategies, that is, the high-speed and changeable offensive system on a comprehensive basis. Thanks to his many years of national team coaching career, Chen Zhonghe was well aware of the situation of the domestic women's volleyball players at that time. And whether it is during the coaching period of Hu Jin or Lang Ping, Chen Zhonghe is a coach who does not give in, and the observation and analysis of the national women's volleyball team in that year can be described as accurate and in place, not only to ensure the smoothness of their offensive system, but also to suppress the opponent in the blocking, chen guidance of the new national women's volleyball team has a long way to go.
After two years of continuous exploration and team members, the prototype of the golden generation is relatively formed, and the offensive and defensive system begins to operate normally. During this period, especially the handicap storm at the 2002 World Championships, the team was criticized both internationally and domestically. Director Chen carried all the criticism and accusations, fully protected the team members, and finally broke through the cocoon in 2003. In the same year, Chen Zhonghe led the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the World Cup championship with an unbeaten record of 11 matches; in August 2004, Chen Zhonghe led the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the Olympic gold medal again after a gap of 20 years.
After Athens, in the face of the changes in the international arena, the pattern of the women's volleyball team is unpredictable. In particular, the decline in the strength of the golden generation due to age and injury, and the direct impact of the tallness of the European and American women's volleyball teams, forced Chen Zhonghe and the guidance to accelerate the process of tallening. In the same period, the domestic women's volleyball players, with excellent height conditions, incomplete technology, comprehensive technology, and lack of height, made Chen Zhonghe's new national team have a large loophole in the first-pass defense system. At the 2006 World Championships, Chen Zhonghe led the Chinese women's volleyball team to finish in fifth place. In the 2007 Asian Championship, the Chinese women's volleyball team was swept by Japan in 3 sets and missed the runner-up for 11 consecutive championships. In 2008, with the recovery of Feng Kun and Zhao Ruirui, the golden generation made up for the relatively weak shortcomings and opened the Beijing Olympics process. On August 23, Chen led the team to defeat the Cuban women's volleyball team in the bronze medal battle to win the bronze medal. In 2009, Chen Zhonghe stepped down as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team. In June of the same year, Chen Zhonghe was appointed deputy director of the Fujian Provincial Sports Bureau and retired in 2017.
As the founder of the golden generation of the women's volleyball team, Chen Zhonghe worked hard, no matter the wind and rain, always stood in front of the team. Careful guidance and strict training on the pitch, constantly discovering excellent players and building a team. The routine of the Seven Fairies was later criticized as a lineup solidification, and the impact was not enough. In fact, this has a lot to do with the overall personal quality and ability of the domestic team members that year. Beijing cycle Damei became the core of the whole team's attack, and the team's support work began to change from full attack and full defense to other team members to make up for her defensive area. As the main force of support, Zhou Suhong was unprecedented at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, especially in the ground defense link of the team, making it difficult for Chen Zhonghe and the guidance to find suitable young players to replace, and had to let Liu Yanan become a substitute. Now, this is actually no way to do it. Subject to the individual abilities and characteristics of the players, Chen Zhonghe has done his best, and the Beijing bronze medal has been a very dazzling achievement. Chen Zhonghe, who is currently the deputy director of the Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Overseas Chinese and Foreign Affairs Committee of the Fujian Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, left the day-to-day training and competition of the women's volleyball team, and life finally slowed down. I hope that Director Chen will be happy and happy in the years of enjoying life, and be healthy and happy.
