Lang Ping hinted during the Tokyo Olympics that she was leaving, which made fans who liked her desperate. But it is not broken, next year is the World Championships, there are only three years left before the Paris Olympic Games, and the reconstruction of the women's volleyball coaching team has been urgent.
Eager fans have also begun to contribute ideas, from An Jiajie, Cai Bin, Chen Zhonghe to Fang Yan and many Olympic champions of the golden generation, have become popular candidates in the mouths of fans. There are also many fans who think of a female coach with full prestige in the Chinese volleyball arena, hoping that she can coach the Chinese women's volleyball team. She has been praised by the international volleyball world as a "strange ball player", one of the five gold medal coaches of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and is also a good teammate of Lang Ping, and she is the former head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, Zhang Rongfang.
In the history of the Chinese women's volleyball team, there are five gold medal coaches who have led the team to win the world's three major competitions, namely: Yuan Weimin, Deng Ruozeng, Lang Ping, Zhang Rongfang, Chen Zhonghe. Zhang Rongfang entered the Chinese women's volleyball team in 1976, although the height is only 1.74 meters, but she uses the advantages of fast feet, fast hands and fast eyes to make up for the lack of innate height, comprehensive technology, the slam line is very tricky, is the famous "strange golfer" in the international volleyball arena at that time, and Lang Ping formed the main offensive line of "one high and one fast", sweeping the world's strong teams.
After winning three consecutive championships as the main force and captain, Zhang Rongfang retired in 1984 and served as the deputy director of the Sichuan Provincial Sports Committee. Later, the Chinese women's volleyball team defended the 1985 World Cup under the leadership of the new coach Deng Ruozeng, but then because Deng Ruozeng's coaching philosophy and leadership were different, they were dismissed when they were only three months away from the 1986 World Championships.
At that time, the Chinese women's volleyball team can be described as leaderless, at this time, Zhang Rongfang, who was already pregnant, was ordered to be in danger under the persuasion of Yuan Weimin, carrying the banner of the chinese women's volleyball team coach, the former good teammate Lang Ping served as her assistant coach, and Zhang Rongfang, who was pregnant, disregarded her own safety, overcame various difficulties that ordinary people could not imagine, and has always insisted on leading the team training on the noisy training ground.
At the 10th Women's Volleyball World Championships, under the leadership of Zhang Rongfang, the Chinese women's volleyball team finally defeated the strong opponent Cuban women's volleyball team to defend the world championship laurels, Zhang Rongfang also won the title of the best coach, and in the same year, Zhang Rongfang led the team to win the Asian Games championship. Later, because she was already an elderly woman and needed to give birth, Zhang Rongfang resigned as head coach and returned to her career.
In 2015, Lang Ping led the team to prepare for the World Cup, due to the team's offensive and defensive core Hui Ruoqi suddenly heart disease and did not qualify for the World Cup, Lang Ping was once anxious to tears, it was the old partner of the past who gave Lang Ping a lot of psychological comfort, Zhang Rongfang, who was the deputy director of the Platoon Management Center at the time, and Lang Ping went out to Japan together, and finally the Chinese women's volleyball team won the championship in adversity, returning to the top of the world after 12 years, here is also a credit to Zhang Rongfang.
Now retired Zhang Rongfang's enthusiasm for the Chinese women's volleyball team is still not cold, if she can take over the Chinese women's volleyball team, the women's volleyball team will return to the peak will be just around the corner!
