After the announcement of the Tokyo Olympic roster of the Chinese women's volleyball team, it caused an uproar in the outside world, because the fans expected Liu Xiaotong to be out, but they did not expect that she sent a post in advance to "let the wind blow", and finally caught the last train; and the diligent and down-to-earth Lin Li finally lost to the controversial Wang Mengjie and so on...
In fact, the most painful thing for fans is Lin Li, who is usually silent and taciturn, and she is also a hero of the Rio Olympic champion. But in the Tokyo Olympic cycle, even if Wang Mengjie was in poor form in the 2021 World Women's Volleyball League to be scolded on the hot search, Lin Li still failed to shake Lang Ping's trust in Wang Mengjie. After the release of the Olympic roster, many fans realized that in fact, when Lin Li was interviewed after the World Cup 2 years ago, she had expected to be out of the Olympic competition.
The women's volleyball girls all want to go to the Olympic Games, Lin Li was replaced by Wang Mengjie in the 2019 World Cup, after the game she still yearns for the Tokyo Olympic Games, but according to the CCTV documentary, at that time she had a premonition that she would lose the Tokyo Olympic Games: "In this team, the collective interests are greater than the individuals, you can't think too much about individuals, everything must be considered more for the collective." ”
At that time, many fans were not optimistic about Lin Li, thinking that her peak had passed, but in the World Women's Volleyball League, which was the last big training before the Tokyo Olympic Games, Lin Li won the trust of the fans again with her diligent performance, and everyone even called on Lang Ping on the Internet to give Lin Li a chance, even if it was to bring two free people! But as Lin Li herself said, the women's volleyball team is a collective, and the interests of the collective are always higher than the interests of individuals. In the end, Wang Mengjie, who was in a bad state, replaced Lin Li, and it was obvious that Lang Ping had other considerations for guidance.
In that documentary at the time, the narrator had been emphasizing that Lin Li's father was from a peasant background, but he would often teach Lin Li to be a down-to-earth and simple person. And Lin Li since becoming an Olympic champion with the team, in the beautiful days did not put up a shelf, floating in the sky, she has long been accustomed to doing things seriously, down-to-earth people, even if now there is no chance of Tokyo, can also be generously accepted such an ending, can be called the Chinese women's volleyball team's most sacrificial spirit of the player! I hope that Lin Li can stay in the future, help the next coach pass the help, and educate the later players what is the real spirit of the women's volleyball team!
