Li Yingying, 24 years old this year, is the core of the current Chinese women's volleyball team's attack. The Tokyo Olympics are a sad journey for Li Yingying, and her biggest goal is to compete in the upcoming Paris Olympics.
In order to achieve this goal, Li Yingying tried her courage and did not talk about love......
01
The 2024 Women's Volleyball World League is the last chance for the Chinese women's volleyball team to win the ticket to the Paris Olympics.
(Fierce soldiers, sword pointing at Paris)
In the 2023 Olympic qualifiers, the Chinese women's volleyball team fought at home and lost unexpectedly and did not get a ticket to the Paris Olympics. At present, the Dominican team, Serbia team, Turkey team, Brazil team, the United States team, Poland team, and the host France team, a total of 7 teams have won the ticket to the Paris Olympics.
The remaining 5 places will be determined by the results of the Women's Volleyball World League.
In the whole of Asia, there is not a single team that has qualified for the Olympics. The Chinese women's volleyball team, the Japanese women's volleyball team, and the South Korean women's volleyball team all want to enter the Paris Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team is currently ranked 6th in the world, and the Japanese women's volleyball team is ranked 8th.

There is an 11-hour time difference between Beijing and Brazil's Rio de Janeiro, and as early as May 7, the Chinese women's volleyball team flew to Brazil, and Lai Yawen, director of the volleyball management center, accompanied the team to supervise the game.
On May 14, the Chinese women's volleyball team played its first game against the South Korean team. There is an obvious gap in the strength of the two teams, and the Chinese women's volleyball team swept the South Korean women's volleyball team 3:0.
The scores of the three games were 25:15, 25:16, and 25:14.
Li Yingying scored a game-high 17 points and was the biggest contributor to the victory of the Chinese women's volleyball team.

However, the Japanese team also defeated the Turkish team 3:2 in the first game, gaining 9.9 points, narrowing the gap with the Chinese women's volleyball team.
The victory of the Japanese women's volleyball team has inspired the fighting spirit of the Chinese women's volleyball team. In the second game, the Chinese women's volleyball team encountered a strong opponent, the United States, and could only win but not lose, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
In the early morning of May 17, the focus of the battle between the Chinese women's volleyball team and the American women's volleyball team was held at the Maracanã Junior Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. The starting lineup sent by Cai Bin was:

Two main attacks: Li Yingying and Wu Mengjie
Two secondary attacks: Yuan Xinyue and Wang Yuanyuan
Second setter: Diao Lingyu
Answer: Gong Xiangyu
Free man: Wang Mengjie
The U.S. women's volleyball team is led by 38-year-old veteran Larsson. Although the U.S. women's volleyball team has already qualified for the Paris Olympics, it is quite fierce on the court.
(Wang Yuanyuan)
Game 1: The Chinese women's volleyball team lost 23:25, but the deputy attacker Wang Yuanyuan blocked the net and scored 5 points.
Starting from the second game, Li Yingying and Wang Yunrui partnered on the main offensive line, and the Chinese women's volleyball team won 3 games in a row. The scores were: 25:23, 25:22, 25:19.
In the end, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the United States team 3:1 and ushered in two consecutive victories in the World League.
In this game, the Chinese women's volleyball team scored 60 points on offense, and the United States team scored 58 points. The Chinese women's volleyball team scored 12 points, and the United States team scored 6 points. The Chinese women's volleyball team's active scoring ability is stronger than that of the United States team, and it is reasonable to win.
Li Yingying scored a game-high 20 points, and Wang Yuanyuan scored 18 points, including 8 points for blocking the net. Gong Xiangyu scored 16 points and Yuan Xinyue scored 14 points.
Unfortunately, Wu Mengjie, the starting main attack of the Chinese women's volleyball team, did not play well, and scored 0 points in the first game with 8 deductions, and was later replaced by Wang Yunrui.
("Little Zhu Ting" Wu Mengjie)
Wu Mengjie is 22 years old this year, 1.89 meters tall, known as "Little Zhu Ting", and has high hopes for her in all aspects. It seems that Wu Mengjie still needs to be sharpened in the competition in order to gain a firm foothold in the national team.
In the early morning of May 18, the Chinese women's volleyball team will play against the Canadian team. Li Yingying and her teammates have prepared for the most difficult situation, and the Chinese women's volleyball team is expected to win three consecutive victories.

Li Yingying was born on February 19, 2000 in Qiqihar City, Heilongjiang Province, and is the leading star of the Tianjin women's volleyball team and the Chinese women's volleyball team.
(Li Yingying's 11th birthday photo)
She is 1.92 meters tall, weighs 71 kilograms, has a smash height of 3.12 meters and a net height of 3.00 meters.
Li Yingying is a left-handed main attacker, with comprehensive skills, great smashing power, and many changes in attack, and is moving towards a world-class main attack.
Li Yingying has been drifting in Tianjin since she was a child, and her sports career is soaked in tears and hardships.
Li Yingying's mother was a professional basketball player when she was young, and her father worked for a state-owned enterprise in Qiqihar. Li Yingying reached a height of 1.80 meters when she was 9 years old, and was taken to the volleyball road by Liang Chunsheng, the volleyball coach of Qiqihar Sports School.
(Li Yingying in the early years)
In 2010, Li Yingying was brought to Tianjin Youth Women's Volleyball Team by Liang Chunsheng for trial training and was retained. So 10-year-old Li Yingying left her hometown and came to Tianjin to play alone.
Most of Li Yingying's teammates are local children, and several out-of-town children also have parents in Tianjin to take care of.
During the holidays, her teammates all went home, and Li Yingying was the only one in the dormitory, she had no place to eat, and she cried when she called her mother.
Li Yingying's mother was in tears while answering the phone, she had been an athlete and knew that athletes could not endure hardship. Therefore, she persuades her daughter to be strong every time, which is nothing.
Coach Zhang Jingkun was the main player of the Tianjin women's volleyball team, and served as the head coach of the Tianjin Youth Women's Volleyball Team after retiring. She felt that Li Yingying was left-handed, with good physical fitness, and she would be able to play in the future, so she focused on training.
When encountering big festivals, Zhang Jingkun will also bring Li Yingying to his home for reunion. Li Yingying likes to eat beef dumplings, and Zhang Jingkun made a bag for her.

During the year, Li Yingying only went home during the Spring Festival. Her parents rarely came to Tianjin to see her, because there was no direct train from Qiqihar to Tianjin, so they had to take the train to Beijing first, and then transfer from Beijing to Tianjin.
(Li Yingying on the training ground)
Generally, Li Yingying's parents only come to Tianjin to visit their daughter once a year during the summer vacation. In Tianjin, they can only stay in a hotel and eat three meals a day. The fare for coming and going, room and board, etc., adds up to a lot of expenses.
In 2013, when Li Yingying was 13 years old, she dreamed of having a house of her own in Tianjin, so that her parents could live in their own home when they came to Tianjin, and they could save a lot of expenses.
And Li Yingying can also live in her own home on holidays and cook some food by herself.
At that time, Li Yingying only had a meager monthly living allowance, and the housing prices in Tianjin were rising every year, and buying a house was an unattainable dream for a 13-year-old girl.
(Li Yingying's life photo)
But owning a house of her own in Tianjin has always been a goal for Li Yingying.
In 2016, Li Yingying became the absolute main force of the Tianjin women's volleyball team, and in the 2017-2018 National Women's Volleyball Super League, Li Yingying scored 804 points and helped the Tianjin women's volleyball team win the league championship.
Tianjin women's volleyball team is a banner of Tianjin, and the salary and treatment of the players are good, so Li Yingying began to save money to buy a house.
Usually she doesn't have to spend money to eat, and sportswear and shoes are provided by the team, so Li Yingying saved most of her allowances and bonuses.

In 2018, Li Yingying was selected for the national team. In the Lang Ping era, Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning were the absolute main forces of the main offensive line, and Li Yingying was the first main offensive substitute.
In the Women's Volleyball World Championship in the same year, Li Yingying played quite well, and in the two games with the United States women's volleyball team and the Netherlands women's volleyball team, Li Yingying's performance was eye-catching.
In the battle with the American women's volleyball team, Li Yingying came off the bench and scored 12 points in two games.
In the bronze medal match with the Dutch women's volleyball team, Li Yingying scored 20 points and helped the Chinese women's volleyball team win the third place.

In the 2019 Japan Women's Volleyball World Cup, Li Yingying won the championship with the team. She was only 19 years old this year, and she became a world champion at a young age.

After the World Cup, Li Yingying is ready to buy a house in Tianjin. She discussed the matter with her parents on the phone, and her mother said: Your father and I have no savings, so I can't help you. Li Yingying happily told her mother: I have saved enough for the down payment, and I will pay the mortgage every month in the future.
It is a big deal for her daughter to buy a house, and her parents rushed to Tianjin from Qiqihar to inspect the real estate with Li Yingying.
(Li Yingying)
In 2019, the average house price in Tianjin's urban area was 19,500 yuan, which is not cheap. Li Yingying and her parents looked at a number of real estate projects to find the most cost-effective house.
After repeated comparisons, Li Yingying took a fancy to a three-bedroom apartment in Heping District, Tianjin, with a price of 25,000 yuan per square meter.
After Li Yingying paid the down payment, she had to repay the mortgage of thousands of yuan every month. After that, as soon as the monthly allowance arrived, the first thing Li Yingying did was to deposit a full amount of mortgage on the bound bank card.

Li Yingying also spent a sum of money on decoration, so Li Yingying's economy was a little tight. When she moved into her new home, Li Yingying was full of emotion, and since then she has a home of her own in Tianjin, and her heart is steady, and she no longer feels like a rootless duckweed.
Mother felt that Li Yingying was too sensible, and shed distressed tears.
In the Tokyo Olympics in July 2021, the Chinese women's volleyball team did not qualify, which brought a huge blow to Li Yingying. She participated in the Olympics for the first time, but she didn't expect this to end like this. Li Yingying was unwilling and wanted to prove herself at the Paris Olympics.

In 2022, Cai Bin will once again serve as the coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and since Zhu Ting and Zhang Changning did not return to the team, Li Yingying has become the absolute core of the Chinese women's volleyball team.
Many of the tactics of the Chinese women's volleyball team are designed around Li Yingying, and how well she plays directly affects the outcome of the Chinese women's volleyball team.

In September 2022, the Women's Volleyball World Championship was held in the Netherlands and Poland, and the Chinese women's volleyball team was in Group D with Brazil, Japan, Argentina, Colombia, and the Czech Republic.
In the group stage, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated Argentina 3:0, Colombia 3:0, Japan 3:0, the Czech Republic 3:0, and Brazil 1:3.

Li Yingying played quite well, and she was the top scorer of the Chinese women's volleyball team in almost every game.
In the round of 16, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the Dutch team 3:2, and Li Yingying won a game-high 23 points.
In the 1/4 life and death battle, the Chinese women's volleyball team lost to the Italian team 1:3 and missed the semifinals, and Li Yingying won the team's highest 14 points. In this Women's Volleyball World Championships, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the 6th place, and the results were not ideal, but Li Yingying played well.
In July 2023, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the runner-up in the World League, and Li Yingying was elected as the best main attacker and selected for the best team.

In October of the same year, in the women's volleyball final of the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team defeated the Japanese team 3-0 to win the championship, and Li Yingying was the biggest contributor to the team's victory.
In 2024, the Tianjin women's volleyball team won the 2023-2024 National Volleyball Super League championship, and Li Yingying was elected as the best main attacker and won the MVP.
Before the Spring Festival in 2024, Li Yingying paid off the remaining mortgage. Without the pressure of the mortgage, she was relaxed and slept soundly that night.
(Li Yingying and her parents)
This Spring Festival, Li Yingying accompanied her parents to celebrate the New Year in Tianjin, and the whole family was very happy because there was no mortgage.
Li Yingying is 24 years old this year, and many female athletes have begun to look for boyfriends when they reach this age. Li Yingying just wants to play ball wholeheartedly and doesn't think about love for the time being.
Li Yingying will only be 28 years old at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, and as long as she does not have major injuries, she has every chance to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics.

The age of athletes in golden sports is limited, and Li Yingying has not considered love for the time being in recent years.
Li Yingying is confident that she will help the Chinese women's volleyball team win the ticket to the Paris Olympics and achieve satisfactory results in the Olympic Games, washing away the regrets left by the Tokyo Olympics.
