The Chinese women's volleyball team is currently undergoing closed training, as the core of the team's second pass, veteran Ding Xia is still sticking to the stadium, leading the new national team towards the 2022 Women's Volleyball World Championship and the Hangzhou Asian Games. After the retirement of the main deputy attack Yan Ni, Ding Xia became one of the oldest players in the Chinese women's volleyball team. Head coach Cai Bin said in an interview that Ding Xia has a wealth of experience in the competition and is the needle of the Chinese women's volleyball team's second pass group in the Paris Olympic cycle, and her presence can make other young second passes feel at ease. But some fans speculate that Ding Xia may have a hard time sticking to the Paris Olympics, because she has previously participated in the recruitment exam for the coaching position of liaoning sports bureau and may already be preparing for where to go after retiring.
It is worth mentioning that Ding Xia was able to participate in the recruitment examination of the Liaoning Provincial Sports Bureau, and Wang Yimei, the former number one star of the Chinese women's volleyball team, played a pivotal role. Speaking of Wang Yimei and Ding Xia, the most impressive thing for fans is a conflict incident that occurred in the women's volleyball league in 2018. To this day, fans still support Wang Yimei almost one-sidedly. At that time, in the 2018 Chinese Women's Volleyball Super League, the Liaoning women's volleyball team and the BAIC women's volleyball team met in a narrow way. Wang Yimei, as the main attack of the Liaoning women's volleyball team, is the main offensive point of the team. Ding Xia is the team's second pass, responsible for delivering "cannonballs" to each attacker.
In the end, Liaoning won 3:0 against Beijing, but something unexpected happened after the game. Zheng Zongyuan, who was the assistant coach of the Liaoning women's volleyball team at the time, seemed to be not satisfied with Wang Yimei's performance in this game, reviewed and explained it, perhaps the emotions were a bit extreme, and Wang Yimei changed from guidance to accusation and criticism. Wang Yimei, who tried her best for the team, felt a little aggrieved, and in the face of the coach's groundless accusations, she also went all out to defend herself. It just so happened that this scene was seen by Ding Xia, because Zheng Zongyuan was his mentor, in public and private, Ding Xia chose to stand on the side of the coach.
In the process of arguing with Wang Yimei, the teammates saw that the opportunity was not good and rushed forward to dissuade them, so as to avoid the further escalation of the contradiction. The audience was shocked by this scene, and many people recorded the incident through their mobile phones. After the game, the focus of media attention was not who won and who lost the game, but Wang Yimei and Ding Xia's "wiping the gun". The vast majority of fans are upset with Wang Yimei, believing that this is the unreasonable behavior of the Liaoning women's volleyball team and bullying the leaders of the former Chinese women's volleyball team. Some netizens said that even if Wang Yimei's strength has long ceased to be brave, the assistant coach should not be accused.
In particular, Ding Xia is not qualified to point fingers at Wang Yimei, and on the popularity and influence of the domestic sports world alone, Ding Xia cannot be compared with Wang Yimei. Fortunately, after a period of calming down, Wang Yimei and Ding Xia reconciled. The former has become the general manager of the Liaoning women's volleyball team, and the latter is the leader of the Liaoning team. It is reported that ding xia was able to obtain the opportunity of the recruitment examination of the Liaoning Provincial Sports Bureau this time, which is not unrelated to Wang Yimei's strong recommendation. Today, Wang Yimei and Ding Xia are known as sisters, and the two work hand in hand to help the Liaoning women's volleyball team and even the Chinese women's volleyball team continue to carry forward!
