generation is about to boil.
Sir has already felt the heat of the prelude.
comes from an in-your-face question:
Our fight was so embarrassing
Have you ever considered changing your tactics?
comes from a face-breaking question:
-Why do you play ball!
-For my parents!
-Then you will never be able to type
. Think again!
-Be you!
- Then you are mistaken.
comes from a paragraph, a confession of letting go:
In fact, I just can't let go
Our generation has suffered a lot
Three intense conversations, let us travel through time in an instant.
The key to that era is the controversial figure-
Lang Ping.
Only by understanding Lang Ping can we understand the spirit of the women's volleyball team of that generation.
"three restarts" through Lang Pingsheng's .
What is the memory of the times?
The "Win the Championship" unit in "My Motherland and Me".
A small alley in Shanghai in 1984 was crowded with fellow villagers.
Everyone is looking forward to watching the televised Olympic Games.
We all know the result of that exciting game -
The Chinese women's volleyball team cleanly defeated the United States team 3-0 and won the Olympic championship for the first time .
and achieved three consecutive championships in the competition.
What can transcend time and space and still arouse emotion and resonance among a generation is the so-called memory of the times.
As an athlete, Lang Ping has proven his strength early on.
But even then, people could not have predicted it -
With each of her bold restarts.
Lang Ping will also appear frequently in our memory of the era that will last for more than thirty years.
The real pressure came when Lang Ping "restarted" for the first time.
——From a national team player to a national team coach.
1995.
Lang Ping was invited to become the national team coach.
But the Chinese women's volleyball team she faced at that time was no longer the team that had once been full of glory:
lost the Asian championship and ranked eighth in the world.
The golden brand of the Chinese women's volleyball team has been eclipsed.
What is more difficult than "starting from scratch" is "making a comeback".
There are as many expectant eyes as there are pressures that keep people awake at night.
Actually, I have never led the national team.
I was quite worried at the time.
It was because the Chinese women’s volleyball team was not good as a coach.
The responsibility is relatively heavy.
As the national team coach, she is a newcomer who has just started.
And the task is particularly urgent-
There are only 18 months before the Atlanta Olympics. How does
revive the Chinese women's volleyball team, which has become a second-tier team in the world?
has no other way -
fights.
Because she herself grew up like this.
In "The Reader" many years later, she also mentioned the injuries she suffered while training as an athlete.
I can vividly remember:
The harsh training is almost a sacrifice at the expense of youth.
She often laughs at herself:
This is still an iron hammerIron hammer
I said I am a paper hammer
Working hard can indeed yield results in a short period of time.
Under the leadership of Lang Ping, the Chinese women's volleyball team regained the Asian championship in one year.
made it all the way to the Olympic finals, meeting the Cuban team at its peak.
But in the end, only a silver medal was obtained.
Lang Ping, who is used to winning gold medals, is not angry about this ending:
Who doesn’t want a championship?
I don’t want the Olympic championship. I want a silver medal?
But I think that situation at that time
took more than a year I think our team members
are amazing to be able to get the silver medal
She said these five words "very amazing" with great force.
Even though she has regrets, she knows:
This silver medal is not the end of the Chinese women's volleyball team, but the beginning of a new glory.
Just like the tearful speech of team member Sun Yue after the game:
From the old women's volleyball team to the new women's volleyball team.
Lang Ping’s iron army spirit is becoming the spirit of the Chinese women’s volleyball team.
This continued until many years later, when preparing for the Rio Olympics:
the main attacker Zhu Ting applied the injury on one end of the arm and did weight-bearing exercises on the other end.
Another player, Hui Ruoqi , had a heart problem and underwent long-term recovery training.
has 99 days until the Olympics before returning to the national team.
"Best Substitute" Xu Yunli just recovered from the ruptured ligament and started training on jumping and footwork.
means inheritance.
In 1999, Lang Ping has led the Chinese women's volleyball team back to the world's strongest, achieving new successes in the World Championships and Asian Games.
At this time, she resigned as head coach due to physical reasons.
During the handover ceremony, she, who always showed her strength, was moved to tears.
Looking back at her inaugural speech, the language was simple and no exaggeration.
She did do every word she said:
If I can't succeed
If I can pave some roads
For the future coaches
For the future success of the Chinese women's volleyball team
I think it is also very worthwhile
Or the spirit of the women's volleyball team is exactly like this.
- Pain and Glory.
What language cannot reach is proved by sweat.
This hard work is the starting point of athlete Lang Ping and coach Lang Ping.
But just by working hard, you may not be able to reach the top.
cannot stay at the top forever.
Every victory and defeat in sports competitions has tightened the heartstrings of the people. The widespread attention of
not only brings aura, but also attracts criticism.
Lang Ping's " restarts for the second time" happened under high pressure.
2005.
She decided to accept the invitation to become the coach of the U.S. national team.
Her idea is simple, so that she can spend more time with her daughter Bailang.
She was coaching in a European club at the time, and she was far away from her daughter in the United States. She spent less time together and more distance.
This is not the first time that the United States has extended an olive branch to her.
In 2000, she refused, considering that the Chinese national team was still fledgling.
The Chinese women's volleyball team in 2005 has already established a firm foothold in the world volleyball world.
But this time he defected to the "enemy", which still caused an uproar.
Especially after the Chinese team lost to the American team in the 2008 Olympics.
Not only ordinary people, but also some celebrities have publicly spoken out:
I don’t like her going abroad to teach. I cannot accept the idea of training several opponents to compete with the Chinese women's volleyball team. I really dislike those coaches who go abroad to coach table tennis, badminton, and volleyball in other countries. Don’t forget, you are Chinese.
After all, in the eyes of many people, competitive competitions, especially the Olympic Games, are not just a competition of physical fitness and skills.
The meaning behind it is too deep and heavy.
At this time, Lang Ping saw everything.
When she was scolded the worst, she had to defend herself:
I have always had a Chinese passport and have never thought about becoming a U.S. citizen.
I came to this job as a career coach. Lang Ping belongs to China. No matter where I go, I always remember that I am a Chinese.
But compared to the dispute over passports and nationality, Sir thinks the most thought-provoking thing in this passage is the word "career" . The two words
reveal the origin and core of Lang Ping’s controversy.
Coaches coaching across countries were originally a routine practice in the world of sports.
As early as 1999, Korean Jin Changbo coached the Chinese women's hockey team and led the Chinese women's hockey team to defeat the South Korean team 2:0.
In 2006, Japanese Masashiro Imura became the head coach of China Huayou. The Chinese Huayou team trained by her defeated the Japanese team for the first time at the Doha Asian Games, ending the Japanese team's dominance in Asia.
Have these people sold out the country?
From another perspective, this question is actually asking: What exactly is
sports?
The Olympic spirit is summarized this way:
"Mutual understanding, friendship, solidarity and fair competition."
is like Lang Ping, sports is an existence that pushes human beings to their limits. In
's autobiography, she wrote:
Playing in the World Series is not fighting a world war. What we are fighting is not profit, but a human spirit.
Only by maintaining a normal mind can you maintain concentration beyond the limit.
So in Lang Ping's heart - the game is just a game.
Therefore, no matter how hot-tempered the media asked her, her response was just an understatement:
Reporter: Were you particularly embarrassed that day, because after all, Chen Zhonghe, you two are very good friends.
Lang Ping: When it comes to such an occasion, a winner must be decided. Because this is not the first time we have played against the Chinese team, we are used to it, which means we are very professional... Of course, when I play against the Chinese team, I won’t have as strong a desire as when I play against the Cuban team or other teams, and I rarely say anything special. excited. I still have feelings for the Chinese team.
The language is still the word "professional" .
has feelings, but it does not affect the performance of the game.
Because true respect comes from the full efforts of both warring parties.
Volleyball is love and glory for Lang Ping.
is a down-to-earth career.
did her job well, but she still did not forget her responsibilities.
Responsibility as a Chinese:
As such a big
Such a strong sports power
It has such a strong team
Can it be coached by Chinese
I think it should be It's a very glorious thing.
The responsibility of being a woman:
You are like our World Series
In fact, I am the only female coach sitting there
I feel I also have the responsibility to be a role model
We women can also be high-level coaches
It can be said that the Chinese sports world is lucky to have Lang Ping.
People can have a deeper understanding of the true connotation of competitive sports.
It can be seen from the survey that year that the vast majority of citizens still rationally expressed support for Lang Ping’s career choice.
The women's volleyball team should not only evoke strong national emotions. What is more admirable about
is the professionalism behind the passion.
Lang Ping has done something unprecedented and probably unprecedented -
She has participated in the Olympic Games in three different capacities:
Chinese national team athlete, Chinese national team coach, and US national team coach.
won gold, silver and silver medals respectively.
But she was not satisfied.
starts again.
" restarted for the third time" was in 2013, when Lang Ping once again served as the coach of the Chinese national team.
It is again at a critical moment when the performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team is declining.
"iron hammer" or "iron hammer".
But it seems that she has changed more or less.
The last scene in the trailer of "Chinese Women's Volleyball" made Sir laugh.
Lang Ping said to the team members: Go fall in love!
The female team members were so happy that they dispersed in an instant.
This clip is not sensational. After
coached the Chinese women's volleyball team again, Lang Ping launched a series of reform measures.
abolished militarized management and allowed women's volleyball girls to dress up and shop online.
This is not a sign of slackness, but a humanistic idea that keeps pace with the times.
Although there is sweat and pain.
But in the final analysis, the spirit of women's volleyball team is a kind of love.
includes the great love for home and country.
I am older now and don’t want to run anymore.
There is no pressure in life anymore.
If you want to teach, just lead the Chinese team.
Otherwise, don’t lead.
Including, for personal love.
In recent years, Lang Ping has been plagued by injuries.
In the past Chinese sports world, injuries were badges of pride, and "soldiers" should be proud of their injuries.
But now Lang Ping, who has coaching experience in various countries around the world, realizes that -
Truly successful sports training should be based on science and health.
So she invited the most professional physical training and injury rehabilitation experts to cancel barbell squats and other exercises that damage the knees.
conducts truly scientific management and training.
Injuries reduced.
And the results have come up.
Victory after victory -
Chinese women's volleyball team regained the Asian Championship championship.
Rio Olympic champion.
finally -
won eleven consecutive World Cups.
But what Sir admires most about Lang Ping is not the victory itself, but her sobriety:
The spirit of the women's volleyball team has always been there. Don't talk about victory until victory
She knows that simply advocating the so-called "spirit" is not enough to defeat the heroes and make a comeback.
The unknown process of giving is the magic weapon to win.
And the "women's volleyball soul" that is the keynote of struggle will not be erased by a victory or mistake in a game.
hard work, professionalism and great love. The spirit of
women's volleyball team was vividly displayed in Lang Ping, driving her to complete three key restarts in her life.
From athletes to coaches, from going abroad to returning home.
Will this passionate half-life be shown in "Chinese Women's Volleyball Team"?
There is less than half a month until the movie is released.
If you can’t wait, you can watch this short video first.
KFC's "Tears of the Iron Hammer", adapted from real events and starring Lang Ping herself, happened to focus on the "third restart" of her life.
What she showed in the video is precisely the three points that moved us the most:
When her daughter persuaded her to retire due to injuries, she looked at the photos of herself when she won the championship and replayed her hard work on the field in her mind. scene.
- This is fighting .
can ignore pain and travel through time.
The reporter asked her if she had ever thought about winning 11 consecutive World Cup titles. She said calmly: "I haven't thought about it. Let's work hard little by little."
- This is professional .
Performance is not spoken by words, but proved by sweat.
To Director Yuan, she said: "I am the only one left in the old women's volleyball team who is still on the front line. So I still hope to stand on the last duty. "
To the players, she said: "As long as we wear the jersey representing China, our goal is to raise the national flag and play the national anthem. "
- This is great love .
What she is thinking about is this land of deep love.
This is not just Lang Ping's story.
It may also be your story.
KFC also wants to ask you:
2020, what is your starting strength?
No matter what the answer is, find it and stick to it.
You will find your own light in the new year.
No matter how far the end is. Never give up and start.
