A few days ago, the veteran of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the Brazilian women's volleyball team, announced that after consideration, she decided to officially bid farewell to her volleyball career. Over the years, the Brazilian women's volleyball ace has received and has an indissoluble relationship with the Chinese women's volleyball team. From the era of Feng Kun and Zhao Ruirui in the golden generation, to the Zhu Ting and Yuan Xinyue periods of the Rio Olympic cycle, Xie La is the relative attacker of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Interestingly, Zhu Ting, the number one star of the Chinese women's volleyball team, also deliberately stepped forward to invite Sheila to take a group photo at the award ceremony of the 2014 World Championships. Now, eight years later, Sheila is still a monument to the world women's volleyball arena.
Sierra began to gain a foothold in the Brazilian women's volleyball team during the Beijing Olympic cycle and was deeply loved by head coach Guimarães. At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team and the Brazilian women's volleyball team met in the semifinals. Originally, the Chinese women's volleyball team had the opportunity to compete with the Brazilian team in a state of day and day, but it was precisely because of the existence of Sheila that the Chinese team failed at a critical moment and finally failed to defend the title at the doorstep. After the Beijing Olympic Games, Sierra became the star of the Brazilian women's volleyball team, and it is one of the three major relays of the world women's volleyball team, and its strength is comparable to that of the Russian women's volleyball team Sokovova.
One of the most breathtaking matches of Sheila's career took place in the quarterfinals of the women's volleyball team at the 2012 London Olympics. At that time, the Brazilian women's volleyball team did not play well in the group stage, and only narrowly advanced to the quarterfinals with fourth place. In the quarterfinals, the Brazilian women's volleyball team and the old enemy Russian women's volleyball team staged a peak showdown. Especially in the fourth and fifth innings, the Brazilian women's volleyball team faced the Russian team several times, and finally relied on Shera's big heart and super offensive ability to pull the team back from the edge of the cliff again and again.
After the semi-finals and finals, the Brazilian women's volleyball team defended the title with unstoppable strength, and Sierra became the biggest contributor to the team. At the Rio Olympic Games, after surviving the golden generation of Chinese women's volleyball players such as Feng Kun and Zhou Suhong, Xie La ushered in the challenge of a new generation of Chinese women's volleyball teams such as Zhu Ting, Yan Ni, and Wei Qiuyue. In the quarter-finals, the Chinese and Pakistani women's volleyball teams fought hard for five innings, and in the end, Zhu Ting went out of bounds with a back-row thug, completely destroying the dream of the Brazilian women's volleyball team's three consecutive Olympic championships. After the game, Sheila praised Zhu Ting in an interview, saying that Zhu Ting is the super attack of the world women's volleyball team and a nightmare for all teams.
Some fans joked that zhu Ting chased after the star Sheila at the 2014 World Championships, and the Brazilian women's volleyball legend did not expect that only two years later, the person who ended his Olympic dream would be Zhu Ting. After the end of the American Professional Women's Volleyball League, Sheila officially announced her retirement. From 2008 to 2016, three Olympic Games, Sierra was the key research object of the Chinese women's volleyball team. In the Rio cycle, under the leadership of Sierra, the Chinese women's volleyball team has suffered 16 consecutive defeats in the competition with the Brazilian women's volleyball team. Now, Sheila officially bid farewell to the stadium, and I don't know how many former Chinese women's volleyball players will feel a lot of emotions about it!
