Wang Yiben is a substitute player of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and under the careful guidance of coach Lang Ping, she has won the world championship many times and has become a deputy attacker related to the team's win or loss.
She used her strength to defeat one strong opponent after another, proving that the country was not wrong in handing over this position to herself.
However, on the eve of the 13th World Women's Volleyball Championship, Wang Yi, who is the main force of the women's volleyball team, released the pigeons of coach Lang Ping and suddenly decided to defect to the United States and give up the opportunity for this competition.
Wang Yi's departure led to the Chinese team's defeat in the bidding match, and coach Lang Ping was also teased by her, and in an interview, the coach choked up and said that "the country will never hire Wang Yi again."
Now, 26 years later, her fate is very happy.
Wang Yi is a gifted athletic skill
On May 25, 1973, Wang Yi was born in Shanghai, her family conditions are very good, her mother is a volleyball coach, her father is a basketball coach, and she once coached Yao Ming, an NBA basketball star who was later selected.
Born in such a family, she usually has the most contact with sports, every time she gets out of school, her mother will take Wang Yi to watch the game, perhaps under the influence of the environment, she has had a strong interest in various sports since she was a child.
When she was in the sixth grade of primary school, she was recommended by the school to participate in the volleyball team and compete on behalf of the school.
This competition has encouraged Wang Yi a lot, and since then she has been conducting formal training, and her parents have also attached great importance to their children's interests and hobbies, and have given a lot of help in ordinary times.
Wang Yi made up her mind to win glory for the country in the future, in 1990, her studies stopped, and she devoted herself to the volleyball career, and this year, Lang Ping just returned to China as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and the fate of the two was intertwined.
When it comes to Lang Ping, everyone must be familiar with her, but how many people know that she was "divorced" and infamous and was labeled as "abandoning her husband and daughter".
She also served as an American volleyball coach and was called a "traitor". But Lang Ping is a person who does her duty, she is dedicated to doing her own things well, and she doesn't pay too much attention to the eyes of unexpected people.
Volleyball is tied up by family
In 1960, Lang Ping was born in Tianjin, his family was not rich since he was a child, everyone was poor in that era, and malnourished children grabbed a lot of them, but for some reason, only Lang Ping was very tall and strong.
The advantage of physique led to Lang Ping joining the school sports team very early to exercise, and the teacher often ridiculed that it was too wasteful not to do some sports with such a good physique.
When Lang Ping was 9 years old, he was exposed to volleyball for the first time, and his family saw that the child was passionate about sports and was very willing to support her, and when he was 12 years old, Lang Ping's volleyball had reached the point of perfection.
At that time, Lang Ping had a nickname in the school, called "Chaoyang Cannon", she was on the field, just the momentum could overwhelm the opponent, as Lang Ping's strength became stronger and stronger, she was finally favored by the original way, and joined the national training team at the age of 18.
The people who can train here are all elites in the sports world, which can be said to be a very big honor, but Lang Ping is not proud, she formulates relevant training plans for herself, and strictly implements them every day according to the requirements.
In 1981, Lang Ping participated in the international competition, the opponent was the Japanese, the process of competition was very fierce, just when the score widened, Lang Ping defeated the opponent with a smash, and became famous overnight.
In less than three years, she has accomplished many achievements, and in 1984 she represented China in the Olympic Games, and she also got a new nickname, "Iron Hammer".
Unfortunately, Lang Ping was unfortunately injured in 1986, and his physical condition prevented him from continuing to compete, and he retired with regret.
However, she refused to be idle for a moment, Lang Ping first booked a plane ticket to study in the United States, due to the relatively high level of consumption there, Lang Ping often worked part-time as a coach in his spare time to make money.
She studied very well, and her coaching level was also very high, with a number of excellent results, she got a master's degree in sports management, and the United States attaches great importance to talents, so by the way, she also got a green card.
In this way, she became the coach of the American volleyball team, with an annual salary of $200,000. This was a good thing, but when the news reached China, she was misunderstood by everyone as a "traitor".
Perhaps because of these infamy, Lang Ping finally decided to return to China, and when she left, she filed for divorce with her husband and left her daughter, but this move made her the target of bombardment.
And the story of her and Wang Yi has just begun, after Wang Yi joined Lang Ping's command, she always felt like she was on top, her strength was really strong, and she often won awards outside.
But she often plays big names, and she falls behind every time she trains, not only delaying the time of the players, but also delaying the coach's time.
Maybe it's because she's too young, Wang Yi feels that she was targeted by the coach, she often quarrels with Lang Ping, and the two are a lot of estrangement, but in Lang Ping's heart, she just wants to train Wang Yi to be better and have team spirit, not to be an individual hero.
Obviously, Wang Yi did not understand the master's good intentions, one day in 1998, the girls of the Chinese women's volleyball team were training step by step, and the bidding match was about to start, but a player named Lai Yawen had a very serious liver disease.
For the sake of the players' bodies, Lang Ping did not let Lai Yawen play, but found a substitute, she was Wang Yi.
At first, Wang Yi didn't plan to go, after all, she hated Lang Ping very much, but Lang Ping talked with her for a long time, and finally Wang Yi agreed to participate in the competition, but as everyone knows, a big conspiracy is brewing.
Before the game, everyone was anxiously waiting for Wang Yi to appear, Lang Ping felt that something was wrong, so he called over, but the other party said that he had already taken a plane to the United States and could not participate in the competition.
This is undoubtedly a national shame, but also Wang Yi's personal shame, after this incident, Wang Yi became a sinner through the ages, and chose to run away when the country needed her most.
She was ostracized everywhere in the United States, and her life was not satisfactory, and after many years, she herself reached the point where she couldn't get along, so she decided to return to China and return to her old job.
The eyes of the masses are bright, she has broken the hearts of the people, no unit dares to reuse her, and she will not be able to raise her head in the volleyball world in the future.
