Fans who know Li Yingying know how many hardships and tribulations Li Yingying has experienced along the way, and she herself has a deep understanding, so Li Yingying especially cherishes this hard-won situation. Whether it is to the fans, teammates, or coaches are respectful, for their own professional skills are meticulous, excellence. However, it is such a low-key, humble, and focused on volleyball career that from the day of her debut, there have been discordant voices in the shadows, and to this day. During this period, Li Yingying also experienced two heavy blows, one of which nearly ruined her career.
Be in the dark! Li Yingying suffered the biggest blow in her life
In the 2020-2021 Women's Volleyball League Finals, Diao Linyu stepped on Li Yingying's foot and was injured when she landed on the net. This was a very ordinary arena accident, but with the help of people with ulterior motives, it finally triggered the largest online violence in the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Not only some self-media have criticized Li Yingying, but also openly demanded that the Volleyball Association expel Li Yingying from the national team. Some unknown extreme netizens have "attacked" the comment area of the official website of the Volleyball Association and Lang Ping's personal social platform, put forward the same requirements, and even some people went to the personal social platform of foreign players to leave a warning. For a time, the domestic volleyball arena surged up, enveloping Li Yingying in endless darkness.
Although Li Yingying, who was only 21 years old at the time, had cultivated a strong character since she was a child, she was still a little overwhelmed in the face of the overwhelming crusade. It was as if she had suddenly fallen into boundless darkness, unable to find the direction at all, and Diao Linyu was indeed injured because she stepped on her own foot, feeling guilty, which led to Li Yingying's first thought of avoiding the problem. Fortunately, the support of his teammates and Lang Ping's encouragement pointed out the direction for Li Yingying in time, so that Li Yingying gradually broke free from the darkness. After experiencing this huge setback, we found that Li Yingying became more determined and calmer.
Unwilling! The Chinese women's volleyball team folded the Tokyo Olympic Games
After breaking free from online violence, Li Yingying finally realized her dream of competing in the Olympic Games, so Li Yingying stayed away from her parents at the age of 9 and broke into Tianjin alone. To this end, Li Yingying studied hard and practiced diligently, and poured her dreams with a drop of sweat. To this end, Li Yingying painstakingly practiced a passing technique to make up for her shortcomings. For this reason, Li Yingying gritted her teeth and lost 20 kilograms of fat, making her posture lighter. To this end, Li Yingying has also experienced a dark Internet storm and endured pressure that ordinary people cannot bear. However, what Li Yingying did not expect was that she had given everything for her Olympic dream, but what she returned was the result of the group stage.
Not only is the payoff and the gain not proportional, but there is a huge disparity, which is a merciless blow to any player. Especially for Li Yingying, who is bent on serving the country, this is even more so, and it is inevitable that she will not be willing. Although Li Yingying was the first to stand up and take responsibility after the game, she did not do well enough, but the joy after winning the National Games still reflected the unwillingness in Li Yingying's heart, perhaps in Li Yingying's view, the National Games champion is also a small compensation for herself for many years.
Cloud open moon bright! Li Yingying's future is bright
The past has passed, the Chinese women's volleyball team has also transitioned from the Lang Ping era to the Cai Bin era, in the Tokyo Olympic Games is still the youngest, the least experienced substitute player Li Yingying has also become the Chinese women's volleyball team, the experienced big sister of the competition, the indispensable cornerstone of the team, Cai Bin to take over the Chinese women's volleyball team. Moreover, after breaking free from the physical and mental devastation of online violence and experiencing the winds and waves of the Olympic Games, Li Yingying is obviously more mature. Judging from Li Yingying's performance in the game last season, Li Yingying's great instrument has become a bright future.
