The Chinese women's volleyball team once again won the Olympic title after 12 years. Lang Ping also realized his dream of going from Olympic gold medal player to Olympic gold medal coach. It is gratifying that the new generation of Chinese women's volleyball team has been carefully trained by Lang Ping and has rebuilt the spirit of women's volleyball team, inspiring the Chinese people. As Jinan Times reporter Wang Xingbu who has interviewed the women's volleyball team many times, he is proud of the women's volleyball girls and even more proud of Lang Ping. Here, I would like to share the story of this old reporter and the famous coach Lang Ping with volleyball enthusiasts.

That year, the "women's volleyball trend" was revealed.

In the 1980s, a "Chinese women's volleyball whirlwind" blew up in the world sports world. The Chinese women's volleyball team from 1981 to 1986 , won five consecutive world championships. As soon as the Chinese women's volleyball team competes, it becomes a festival for young people, especially college students. There are many women's volleyball fans at Shandong Medical University where Wang Xingbu is studying. Whenever the Chinese team plays, hundreds of students crowd into a small dilapidated building, surrounding a 14-inch black and white TV set, three floors inside and three outside. , watch the live broadcast of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Students who couldn't see the TV had to listen to Song Shixiong's explanation outside. Lang Ping, Sun Jinfang, Chen Zhaodi, Zhou Xiaolan, Zhang Rongfang, Cao Huiying, Chen Yaqiong, Zhu Ling, Liang Yan, Zheng Meizhu, Hou Yuzhu, Yang Xilan and other famous players of this generation can be said to be household names, known to all women and children. Wang Xingbu still cherishes the older generation of Chinese women's volleyball players. The Chinese women's volleyball team has become a banner of Chinese sports, inspiring young people from all walks of life.

In that era, "Iron Hammer" Lang Ping's name was very popular. She was the idol in the minds of many young people. Lang Ping had many fans, and Wang Xingbu was one of them. Now Lang Ping is a well-known big-name coach in the world of sports. After many old women's volleyball players retired, most of them left the field of volleyball, but Lang Ping still sticks to it. Lang Ping, who retired in 1986, first played and coached abroad, and then returned to China to coach. He has been active in volleyball for more than 30 years. In April 2013, Lang Ping became the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team for the second time after 14 years, rekindling the Chinese people's hope in the Chinese women's volleyball team.

In the past, Wang Xingbu could only watch Chinese women’s volleyball matches live on TV. In the mid-1990s, after Wang Xingbu became a sports reporter, Wang Xingbu had the opportunity to have close contact with the Chinese women's volleyball team and paid more attention to Lang Ping.

The one who accepted the exclusive interview? Sister Lang?

Wang Xingbu’s first exclusive interview with Lang Ping was on September 19, 1998. That year she led the Chinese women’s volleyball team to Jinan to compete. , at that time, a manager in the Chinese women's volleyball team announced that he would not accept any media interviews. Later, with the help of a friend, the manager arranged for Wang Xingbu to interview Lang Ping for five minutes.

Wang Xingbu came to the Zhonghao Hotel where Lang Ping was staying. Seeing that she was discussing work with Zhang Rongfang, he affectionately called them eldest sister and told the two female ranking generals that he was Zhang Rongfang when he was in college. Die-hard fans of the Chinese women's volleyball team admire them very much. After saying a few words, Lang Ping was very happy. She took bananas and poured tea. She also said politely: "If you have any questions, just ask." ?

Wang Xingbu saw that Lang Ping was so approachable and had no celebrity pretensions, so he quickly entered the interview mode and chatted with her for half an hour, covering everything from her career to her family to her life. Lang Ping talked about his daughter Bailang.

After the interview, Lang Ping also wrote a souvenir inscription for readers of Jinan Times. The inscription is still under the glass plate on Wang Xingbu's desk.

After returning to the newspaper, Wang Xingbu wrote an exclusive interview, "Listening to Lang Ping Tell the Story in Her Heart," which was simultaneously published in "Jinan Times" and "Sports Weekly" and caused a stir among readers. Great response. It was that year that Wang Xingbu met the meritorious coach Chen Zhonghe, who was still Lang Ping's assistant at the time, and became good friends with Wang Xingbu.

The humble coach Lang at the Beijing Olympics?

Wang Xingbu interviewed Lang Ping many times. The most unforgettable one was at the Beijing Olympics on August 15, 2008, when Lang Ping coached the US women’s volleyball team. Met the Chinese women's volleyball team led by Chen Zhonghe in the semifinals.

?Peace War? attracted much attention and attracted many reporters from Chinese and foreign media. The Capital Gymnasium was packed to capacity. ?What does it mean to be deafening? Now it is called deafening. The passionate voice of CCTV commentator Song Shixiong described the heated scene quite clearly. Wang Xingbu was also shocked by his voice in the press box.

The girls from the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team and the US Women's Volleyball Team presented a very exciting game to the audience. In the end, the US Women's Volleyball Team won 3-2. As soon as the final whistle blew, the American players cheered and formed a circle on the court, screaming non-stop. Lang Ping sat motionless on the coaching bench. After a while, Lang Ping stood up, hugged the team members and left. Although Lang Ping led the American team to win the Chinese team, the reporter did not hear a single defection from the fans at the scene.

In the press conference hall, Lang Ping had a very serious expression without a trace of smile. Perhaps because he attended the press conference as the head coach of the US women's volleyball team, Lang Ping did not answer questions in Chinese, but spoke fluent English. As an outstanding representative of the Chinese old women's volleyball team, this time as the head coach of the US team, she faced her home team in her home country. Lang Ping believed that this was just a normal game. Lang Ping said that she has been the head coach of the US team for four years and has played against the Chinese team many times before. The Chinese team is just an opponent of the US team in the Olympics. She is more concerned about the game itself and strives to give correct instructions to the players through professionalism.

Although they defeated the Chinese team this time, Lang Ping believes that the American team is still not as strong as the Chinese team. In Lang Ping's view, winning or losing the game, in addition to strength, is also related to the situation on the field and the understanding of the opponent.

The ensuing final between the US Women's Volleyball Team and the Brazilian Women's Volleyball Team became the home court of the US team. Chinese fans cheered for the US team heartily because of Lang Ping. In the end, the American team lost to the Brazilian team 1-3 and won a valuable silver medal. Lang Ping wrote a glorious page in his coaching career. This is Lang Ping's second silver medal as a coach at the Olympics.

The women’s volleyball team’s song bears witness to the spirit of the women’s volleyball team

In the competition for the head coach of the Chinese women’s volleyball team in 2013, Lang Ping decided to step in at the last moment. As we all know, the Chinese women's volleyball team was at a low ebb in those two years, and the head coaching position was a hot potato. Lang Ping was able to step forward. His spirit is commendable and he has won praise from all walks of life. "Firefighting" again is more of a complex and a responsibility for Lang Ping. Lang Ping took office again for two years and led the Chinese women's volleyball team to gradually get out of the trough. In October 2014, Lang Ping led the team to win the runner-up at the World Women's Volleyball Championship in Italy; in May 2015, they won the Asian Championship.

2015 is the year of the World Cup. The Women’s Volleyball World Cup was held in Japan in August. Lang Ping led the team to win the championship and also qualified for the Rio Olympics. At the Rio Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team played very hard in the group stage, only ranking fourth and qualifying. Lang Ping showed the strength of a famous coach. In the quarter-finals, he eliminated the host Brazil, which was calling for the title. In the semi-finals, he defeated the Dutch team, the opponent that had lost in the group, and advanced to the finals.

In the final, facing an opponent they had lost to before, the Chinese women's volleyball team came back to win under the unfavorable situation of losing one game first, and contributed the most valuable gold medal to the Chinese delegation. This is also the third time that the Chinese women's volleyball team has won an Olympic gold medal after the Los Angeles Olympics 32 years ago and the Athens Olympics 12 years ago.

"The sun always comes after the storm", this is the team song of the Chinese women's volleyball team. Lang Ping and the women's volleyball girls cleared the clouds and saw the sun at the Rio Olympics this time, and had the last laugh. The reason for its success, in Lang Ping's words, is a kind of persistence, a kind of persistence, and a kind of love for the volleyball career. Congratulations to Lang Ping! Blessings to Lang Ping! Thank you to Lang Ping! ;
