The 2021-2022 season of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League came to an end, the Tianjin women's volleyball team swept the Jiangsu women's volleyball team, won the Volleyball Super League championship for three consecutive seasons, which is also the 14th league championship in the history of the Tianjin Women's Volleyball Team, and in the previous bronze medal battle, the Shanghai Women's Volleyball Team with double foreign aid won two consecutive games, defeated the Liaoning Women's Volleyball Team with a total score of 2:0, and won the bronze medal in the Volleyball Super League for two consecutive seasons. In the second round of the bronze medal battle, when the Shanghai women's volleyball team won the bronze medal, the Shanghai women's volleyball team replaced the former "genius girl" Yang Jie, this scene reminds people of the 2015 Women's Volleyball World Cup, when the Chinese women's volleyball team won the gold medal point, Lang Ping replaced Wei Qiuyue, who did not have the conditions to play at the time, and finally Wei Qiuyue passed Zhu Ting to score the ball, and the Chinese women's volleyball team won the championship. However, in the match between the Shanghai women's volleyball team and the Liaoning women's volleyball team, Yang Jie did not touch the ball after changing the field, and the Shanghai women's volleyball team scored and won the game. At that time, many people speculated that Yang Jie, a veteran of the Shanghai women's volleyball team, would choose to retire after the end of this season.
Sure enough, less than two hours after the end of the Volleyball Super League, Yang Jie announced her retirement on the social platform, and she wrote on Weibo: "From the first time I participated in the league in the 08-09 season, to the last time I played in the No. 9 shirt in the 2021-2022 season, fifteen years is not long, it is not short, and it is finally time to say goodbye." It is volleyball, it is the company of the Shanghai women's volleyball team that promotes my growth, grateful for guiding each of my coaches, grateful for every teammate who appears around me, grateful for every fan friend who silently supports me, grateful for every minute and second of training and playing with teammates, and finally, in the end, I am lucky to be with the two most admired main attackers, training the game together for two months, sisters, the task is heavy and long, please continue to cheer, the Shanghai women's volleyball team can look forward to the future, the jianghu road is far away from goodbye. From Yang Jie's post, it can be seen that she has decided to retire, which is another retired Chinese women's volleyball former national player after Zhang Lei in Shanghai women's volleyball team, with Yang Jie's retirement, the National Players who represented the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team in the London Olympic Cycle to participate in the "three major competitions" have all retired.
Yang Jie is known as a "genius girl", she is considered to be young and famous, as Yang Jie herself said, she was promoted to the Shanghai women's volleyball team at the age of 14 to participate in the women's volleyball league, to know that at this age some athletes have only begun to contact volleyball for a long time, Yang Jie has become the main attack position of the Shanghai women's volleyball team since 2009, yang Jie, who is relatively comprehensive in technology, has made her debut by Shanghai fans and even the majority of Chinese women's volleyball fans, in early 2010, Wang Baoquan served as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team. He publicly stated at the press conference when he took office that he was very optimistic about Yang Jie's career development prospects, and unfortunately, only half a year later, Yang Jie was returned to the Shanghai team, and it is obvious that Yang Jie's development deviated from Wang Baoquan's expectations. However, it is interesting that after Wang Baoquan left the position of head coach of the national team, Yang Jie returned to the national team, she once became a member of Yu Juemin's generals, unfortunately, Yang Jie's comprehensive strength is still limited, coupled with the national team coaching team has some deviations in her positioning, Yang Jie gradually became a substitute, but she still participated in the 2010 Women's Volleyball World Championship and the 2011 Women's Volleyball World Cup with the Chinese women's volleyball team, and finally stood on the World Cup podium with the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Although she has participated in the 15th Women's Volleyball League, in fact, Yang Jie's age is not large, Yang Jie, born in 1994, and Zhu Ting, the leader of the Chinese women's volleyball team, belong to the same age, but she entered the national team three years earlier than Zhu Ting, due to her own conditions and some objective factors, Yang Jie failed to become a member of the national team, which is more or less regrettable. Lang Ping also recruited Yang Jie into the national team after serving as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, but in the end he did not use Yang Jie, which also shows that Yang Jie's own comprehensive strength has many deficiencies compared with high-level players. Yang Jie faded out of the national team after the Shanghai women's volleyball team is not the main force of iron, especially in the annual women's volleyball league, Yang Jie is basically to serve as a substitute for the team, especially when the team introduces foreign aid, Yang Jie gets not many opportunities, this season's volleyball super league, Shanghai women's volleyball team originally chose to double main attack foreign aid, after the introduction of the single foreign aid policy, the Shanghai women's volleyball team chose Zhonghui, who is not tall, of course, this may have something to do with Yang Jie's imminent retirement, from the perspective of this season's Volleyball Super League All-Star Game, Yang Jie's state is actually not bad, and she can completely continue her volleyball career. Of course, volleyball is not the whole of life after all, Yang Jie's choice to retire must be well thought-out, and we also wish this former volleyball "genius girl".
