Xinhua News Agency, Jakarta, August 27 (Reporter Zhang Zewei Yan Lei) after winning the Indian team on the 27th, the Chinese women’s volleyball team was promoted to the top eight of the Jakarta Asian Games with a team victory and no loss in one game. Due to the overall weak opponents in the group match, chief coach Lang Ping sent young players such as Li Yingying and Hu Mingyuan in many matches. She said that she would give more opportunities to young players without losing the ball.
“When we have the chance and don’t lose, we will let the young players play more, but it is impossible for the young players to play at the same time.” Lang Ping said that the purpose of letting young players play is to let them gain confidence in the victory. If they lose a lot in order to exercise the players, confidence will not be found.
“So, when young players are on the court, there must be old players.” She said.
Besides focusing on Li Yingying and Hu Mingyuan and other newcomers, Lang Ping also pays special attention to the cultivation of young setter. In this Asian Games, she brought second-hand passers such as Ding Xia and Luo Linyu. In this regard, Lang Ping said: “The training cycle of the second pass is relatively long. We hope that on the basis of winning, all the second pass, especially the young second pass, will play more. Because training is different from competition, the second pass needs to accumulate experience. In the game, no matter whether the second pass played well or not, I hope the fans will be more patient and give them more opportunities.”
Although the opponents in the group match were weak, Lang Ping made Zhu Ting start in the five group matches. She said: “The Asian Games has a long schedule, which is particularly easy to be distracted and not easy to maintain. Let Zhu Ting and other main players play more, just to keep the state and keep everyone alert.”
