Who would have thought that the "women's volleyball star", which was once watched by everyone, would betray her country by treachery
Wang Yi: From the star of the Chinese women's volleyball team to the ordinary person in the United States
Wang Yi's name used to be a dazzling star in the Chinese women's volleyball arena, but now, this name has become a common name in the United States, and no one remembers the "genius girl" who once won glory for the country.
Family background and early achievements
Wang Yi was born into a sports family, her mother was the former head coach of the Shanghai women's volleyball team, so Wang Yi grew up in the volleyball world since she was a child. Under the influence of her family background, Wang Yi showed outstanding volleyball talent very early.
After participating in the Atlanta Olympics, Wang Yi, who is only four years old, has become a core member of the national team. With her outstanding performance on the field, she quickly rose to prominence and was known as the "talented volleyball girl".
From the moment Lang Ping returned to the coach's seat, the fates of her and Wang Yi began to be closely intertwined. Lang Ping, the person who once galloped on the volleyball court and then guided Jiang Shan in the coach's dugout, finally chose to leave the comfort of the United States, return to the motherland, and help the Chinese women's volleyball team return to the top.
Among the many rising stars of the women's volleyball team, Wang Yi is undoubtedly the most shining. Young her, with such amazing talent, every movement seems to be natural with volleyball.
The first time Lang Ping saw Wang Yi's figure on the field, he knew that this was the key figure who could lead the Chinese women's volleyball team to new heights. Her appreciation of Wang Yi has even reached an unprecedented level, calling her "the future of the women's volleyball team" in person.
Lang Ping's keen eye and Wang Yi's extraordinary talent are like a perfect fate. The night before the World Championships, Lang Ping made a bold decision to let Wang Yi play as a secondary offensive and defensive position, which is a crucial position.
At the time, the decision raised numerous questions. But after the game began, Wang Yi's performance shocked everyone. In the face of the strong attack of the world's top player Barbara, Wang Yi not only successfully blocked, but also showed a breathtaking counterattack. In this game, the Chinese women's volleyball team finally won the victory, and Wang Yi also became the focus of everyone's attention.
However, success also brought her trouble.
Pride and conflict
As her fame and achievements gradually climbed, Wang Yi gradually developed a sense of superiority. She began to make all kinds of harsh demands on her teammates and coaches, as if she was already the irreplaceable core of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
This arrogance directly led to her relationship with her teammates becoming increasingly strained.
Over time, Wang Yi's contact with the national team gradually decreased. Some unstable factors began to spread in the team, and Wang Yi also began to show some signs of disagreement with the team. However, as a senior coach, Lang Ping does not give up on his players easily, especially key figures like Wang Yi.
In 1988, the situation for the women's volleyball team became more complicated. The captain was unable to participate due to illness, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the whole team. At this critical moment, Lang Ping once again set his sights on Wang Yi. She hopes to persuade Wang Yi to return to the team and help the women's volleyball team get through this difficulty.
But at the critical moment, Wang Yi could not be contacted. When the news came, she had chosen to study in the United States. This is an unbearable blow for the women's volleyball team. The team lost a crucial link, and in that competition, the women's volleyball team failed to win the championship.
Lang Ping was deeply disappointed by Wang Yi's departure. In her opinion, playing for the national team is the honor of every athlete, and Wang Yi's decision is clearly contrary to this belief.
However, time is the cure for everything. Lang Ping did not give up the Chinese women's volleyball team because of Wang Yi's departure, and she continued to use her experience and wisdom to cultivate a batch of new stars.
Moved to Team USA
Although Wang Yi's original goal was to succeed in business, her studies in the United States did not go well. So she decided to return to volleyball and joined a professional volleyball team in the United States.
In the United States, Wang Yi still showed outstanding talent, quickly became the main member of the team, and won many awards.
But in the eyes of the Chinese people, Wang Yi has changed. When the Chinese women's volleyball team participated in the 32nd Olympic Games, Wang Yi publicly said that she hoped that the American team would win the championship, which caused strong disgust among the Chinese people.
But in Lang Ping's heart, his feelings for Wang Yi have never changed. She always believes that Wang Yi is a player with great potential, and if she can be properly guided and cultivated, she will definitely be able to become the pillar of the women's volleyball team.
But the reality is that Wang Yi has chosen her own path, and Lang Ping can only hope that she can go further and better on her own path.
Many people can't understand why she chose to leave at a critical moment, and the fans who once cheered and applauded her felt even more lost and heartbroken. There are various theories about why she left, but the most widely accepted explanation is her dissatisfaction with the training methods of the time and her consideration of personal development.
But time has not erased Wang Yi's impression in people's hearts. Whenever the Chinese women's volleyball team is mentioned, she will be mentioned, those past glory, those passion on the field, as if still vivid. And for Wang Yi herself, perhaps, those past years, those honors and victories, have become her night's dreams, hidden deep in her heart, occasionally emerged.
During her years in the United States, Wang Yi seemed to have found the peace she was seeking. She made many friends and also met her significant other. Her life was very low-key, and there was little news and reports about her. And in volleyball, she seems to have completely detached herself from anything related to it and become a real "normal person".
