Preface
Speaking of the three major sports in the mainland, in basketball, football and volleyball, the mainland women's volleyball team has achieved very superior results in the world.
The players of Lang Ping, Zhu Ting, and Hui Ruoqi women's volleyball team have a high reputation.
But there was once a women's volleyball player who was also very well-known and was known as the most popular player after the golden generation of women's volleyball.
He has led the national team to win the championship many times, and has also served as a key player in the game, always helping the team turn the game around when it is critical.
even slammed a violent dunk on the court, directly stunning the Japanese player,
This women's volleyball player is Wang Yimei, who has the "second Lang Ping" and is known as the "nuclear warhead" in the world volleyball world.
But unfortunately, Wang Yimei was finally "abandoned" by Lang Ping, missed the main players of the national team, and finally went overseas to play for Turkey.
So, what happened to Wang Yimei, and why was it "abandoned"?
Wang Yimei, who is "halfway home".
Wang Yimei is also a "post-80s girl", born in Dalian City, Liaoning Province in 1988.
Unlike other girls, Wang Yimei has been much taller than children of the same age since she was a child.
According to her mother's response, when she was born, she was much taller than a normal child, 74 centimeters.
As she grew older, Wang Yimei's figure advantage gradually became apparent, so her family sent her to Dalian Sports School to study sports.

When she first came into contact with swimming, Wang Yimei was only 6 years old at the time, but she was already very able to endure hardships at a young age.
But in 2000, the gears of fate began to turn in Wang Yimei's body.
When she first entered a sports school at the age of 6, she was considered suitable by her coach to practice swimming, but when she was 12 years old, Wang Yimei met someone who changed her life.
Lai Yawen, who was a volleyball coach at the time, met Wang Yimei and thought that her physical condition was very suitable for practicing volleyball.
In order not to bury such a good seedling, Lai Yawen found Wang Yimei's family and started ideological work.
Wang Yimei, who only started practicing volleyball at the age of 12, was very uncomfortable and encountered a lot of difficulties, but in the end Wang Yimei overcame them one by one.
Her talent is also gradually showing in the volleyball team.
Become the main player of the national team and stun Japanese players
After only 3 years of transforming into volleyball, Wang Yimei won the Most Valuable Player Award at the 2003 Asian Junior Championships, which is an affirmation of Wang Yimei's strength.
And the same Wang Yimei did not live up to the expectations of coach Lai Yawen.
In 2005, Wang Yimei, who was only 18 years old, was successfully selected for the national women's volleyball team with her own strength, and since then she has also started her brilliant career.
After joining the national team, Wang Yimei gradually became the main player in the women's volleyball team with her super high smash level and super explosive strength.
Although 2006 was a "dark" period for the women's volleyball team of the national team, for Wang Yimei, it was the starting point of her brilliant career.
It was also in this year's World Women's Volleyball Championship that Wang Yimei's performance on the field was very eye-catching, with super smashing ability and excellent personal level known as "the second Lang Ping".
It can be seen that everyone also has high hopes for her.
At the 2010 World Women's Volleyball Grand Prix, when the Chinese team was one point behind, the women's volleyball players from the mainland finally reversed the game with their own ability.
In the end, they won the game with a score of 3-1, and Wang Yimei scored 22 points.
At the same time, one thing that is very talked about is that Wang Yimei once knocked the Japanese player Saori Kimura out with a smash.
It was in a 2011 Volleyball World Cup match against the Japanese team.
After the start of the game, the players on both sides contributed wonderful performances, and Wang Yimei's performance was even more prominent.
Her ball went straight through Japan's three defenders and straight towards Saori Kimura.
According to the speedometer outside the field at that time, the speed of Wang Yimei's smash reached 89 kilometers per hour.

You can imagine how lethal this ball is.
However, in 2011, he was still the main player of the national team, the absolute scorer, and finally left the field with regret.
In order to continue to realize his volleyball dream, he left for another country, so what is it all about?
Playing for the Turkish team, how is she now?
Although Wang Yimei's performance on the court is still very eye-catching, her body has suffered a lot from her career for many years.
In 2010, she was not selected for the national team because of a back injury and a substandard weight.
It was at this time that they gradually lost their position as the main players, and at the same time, many outstanding women's volleyball players gradually emerged.

The era belonging to Wang Yimei can be said to have gradually passed, and the coach has gradually used younger and more powerful players in tactical arrangements.
In the qualifiers for the Asian Championships and the World Championships, Wang Yimei also had very little playing time, so she also had the idea of going abroad.
In 2013, Wang Yimei chose to join the Turkish League.

At the same time, Wang Yimei also said that if the national team recruits her, she will return to the national team without hesitation.
However, it is a pity that in the 2014 high-profile women's volleyball national team squad, Wang Yimei's name did not appear again, which to a certain extent also reflects the replacement of new and old players of the women's volleyball team.

Now Wang Yimei is 36 years old, although she has left the volleyball field, she is still engaged in related work.
And Wang Yimei is also a person who loves to share life.
She often shares her life on social media, and maintains a good figure through reasonable fitness exercises and diet, which also reflects her positive attitude towards life.
At the same time, on April 20, Wang Yimei also released a news, which seems to have taken on related work in the swimming competition.
At the same time, many netizens also sighed that Wang Yimei has returned to her old profession, she used to be an excellent swimmer, and then she changed her career to play volleyball.
Looking back on Wang Yimei's career, it is already a very satisfying thing to have the most brilliant career and receive the cheers of many netizens.
