September 10, 2022, is the traditional festival of the Chinese nation, the Mid-Autumn Festival, but this day also happens to be Wu Mengjie's 20th birthday. I believe that the fans who pay attention to the Chinese women's volleyball team will not forget the intoxicating and charming posture of Wu Mengjie, who shined in the women's volleyball Asian Cup competition that just ended not long ago, and won the first best main attacker, who jumped high and slammed the ball with his super hand!
In Jiangsu, a land that magically contains infinite vitality, one after another women's volleyball star coaches and players have been born. From coach Yuan Weimin, the creator of the miracle of the Chinese women's volleyball team, sun Jinfang, the legendary second-pass captain of the five-consecutive championship leader, Zhao Ruirui, the world's first deputy glass beauty, to the goddess captain Hui Ruoqi, the all-around main attacker Zhang Changning, and the best receiver Gong Xiangyu, behind this resounding name, let us see the eternal inheritance of Jiangsu sons and daughters and the selfless dedication to winning glory for the country.
Wu Mengjie, 1.92 meters tall, 2.23 meters high, 2.15 meters high net, the best of the same age, born in Nantong, Jiangsu Province, another shining name of the Chinese women's volleyball team, let the fans across the country remember. Here, I still have to thank CCTV Sports in passing, it is the decisive great change from live broadcast to live broadcast, so that hundreds of millions of fans across the country have seen the wonderful women's volleyball blockbusters of the Asian Cup, seen the indomitable fighting spirit of young players who are full of youthful vitality, and seen the future of the women's volleyball team in the motherland is so worth looking forward to!
Wu Mengjie, the most outstanding of her peers who has received countless applause from the women's volleyball team, has been given great attention and expectations by fans across the country. However, an accident in May 2021 slowed her accelerated rise. In the 14th National Games Youth Qualifying Tournament against Shanghai, Wu Mengjie suddenly fell to her feet after a super hand slam and landed on the ground, causing a serious twist in her knee. After a comprehensive examination after the game, Wu Mengjie was diagnosed with a torn ligament.
Despite suffering serious injuries, Wu Mengjie remained indomitable and tenaciously carried out various recovery training. In November 2021, Wu Mengjie wore knee protectors to help the Jiangsu Youth Women's Volleyball Team win the youth championship in the final stage of the 14th National Games. In the 2021-2022 season, Wu Mengjie replaced Zhang Changning as the first major attack in the adult team, helping the Jiangsu women's volleyball team to win the second place in the Volleyball Super League.
The 2022 Women's Volleyball Asian Cup competition is an international competition in which Wu Mengjie is fully outstanding. Although she still carried heavy protective gear, it still did not affect her to slam the ball bravely in the game and kill all sides. In seven games, Wu Mengjie scored a total of 109 points, the highest score among all team members. Especially against the Thai team, Wu Mengjie scored 29 points, which was highly praised by the head coach of the Thai team and the Asian Volleyball Federation. Wu Mengjie's Asian Cup was also deservedly named the best main attack.
From the final stage of the Youth Group of the National Games, to the Volleyball Super League, to the Women's Volleyball Asian Cup, we see that Wu Mengjie is playing better than once after recovering from injury, and this is still carried out with protective gear. We believe that after the knee is fully recovered and the protective gear is removed, Wu Mengjie will jump higher, the slam power will be stronger, and the defensive ability of the first pass will be further improved. At that time, we will see a completely invincible women's volleyball player who has been reborn as Nirvana, bringing us endless surprises.
From the address shown in Wu Mengjie's post on social platforms on September 5, she still has no expectations for her participation in the World Championships. This may be a protective measure for Coach Cai Bin to protect her, but we prefer that this is a blindfold applied by Cai Dao. When we see Wu Mengjie in the list of the Chinese women's volleyball team to participate in the World Championships announced in the next few days, what will be the situation: those opponents will be stunned, will we drop our jaws? I hope so!
Happy Birthday Wu Mengjie Mid-Autumn Festival!
