  • Just few days ago Lang Ping and her couple were invited to the stage of the second most-watched TV show amongst the Chinese households, CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala (Moon Festival) on the Thursday's evening of September 15, 2016, departed from the normally all entertaining, singing and dancing shows.


    There Lang was asked for her busy engagements in volleyball competitions during the last two to three years and there she and her couple both spoke further few good words and good wishes to the audience, this segment lasted for over good four minutes (here's the video clip with spoken Chinese, timed at 1:15:20).



    (Pic: Lang Ping appeared in the 2016 CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala)


    Receiving such highly and widely regarded appreciation, though intangible it's still quite important in the Chinese culture, I believe Lang Ping will be staying and carrying on her tasks there, at least until Tokyo 2020 cycle. I am also pretty sure that Lang will later again be named as the Best Coach in the annual CCTV Sports Personality Awards of 2017 edition (and the team as well).

  • In theory,
    Lang Ping is "not" the head coach of Chinese women's volleyball national team now because of the expiration of contract in September, 2016.

  • Can someone tell me more about Yan Ni ? This player intrigues me. She 's actually a very good player as MB. But I always ask why JLP invests on her since she's an "old" player and she never participated in any Olympic games before. I also never see her as player in Chinese NT before JLP became the head coach in 2013.

    The MBs are named 副攻 (the second spikers). (OH - 主攻 (main spiker), OP - 接应二传 (second setter), S - 二传/举球手 (setter), L - 自由人 (free person))
    Yes, middle blockers are also middle spikers and middle receivers (Liu Ya-nan and Chen Jing in OG2004).
    Before 2013, Chinese NT needs "middle spikers" such as Liu Ya-nan, Zhang Ping, Xue Ming, Yang Jun-jing and Ma Yun-wen, whose spike is better than their block.
    Xu Yun-li's two skills are balanced, so she is the substitute MB.
    Yan Ni's block was better than spike before 2013.
    Ding Xia helps Yan Ni's spike much.
    Yan Ni was a beach volleyball player before 2005.
    She was Liu Ya-nan's substitute player before 2009 in Team Liaoning and proved she has a litter receive skill, too.
    Although Cai Bin called her in 2009 for 2009 East Asian Games, then Cai Bin lost the head coach of NT.
    In 2014, Yang Zhou is still better than her but her injury destroys herself.
    Therefore, at last, 28-year-old Yan Ni entered Chinese national team A in 2015.

  • Thanks tomen for explaining, only the one who follows long enough CHN WVB knows such background stories :-) I wonder since when you follow the news on the team.


    I don't even know that name, Yang Zhou 杨舟 let alone her look. So I try to dig out how she looks like, failed by google so I tried baidu, here she's.



    Yang Zhou, shirt no. 12 and No. 8 is Li Jing, the MVP of the recent 2016 AVC Cup for Women.


    /EDIT: My bad, for totally forgot that Yang Zhou was on court in the entire tournament of the 2016 AVC Cup for Women in Vietnam recently, she played a very good MB there.

  • I'm wondering who are going to replace Xu Yun-li and Yan Ni. I really like both of them. But they will be over 30 in OG2020 and I don't think they will be in the next NT squat. Yuan Xinyue is a very talented MB player and she has lot of potential. But her erratic and unpredictable performance gives some headaches to JPL.


  • In Team Zhejiang, Yang Zhou wears shirt No.12 and Li Jing wears shirt No.8.

  • Although in theory, Lang Ping should sign her new contract, she may quit due to her long-time heavy injuries.
    Other factors also influenced her such as the promise of China Volleyball Association, the situation of her family members and the difficult popularization of volleyball in China.
    Many fans gave some plans:
    1 Lai Ya-wen or An Jia-jie could be the caretaker before 2018 WCH and Cai Bin, Wang Bao-quan, Yu Jue-min and so on must be out of NT.
    2 Foreign coaches? - I only hope a foreign coach be the head coach of Chinese male NT.
    3 Cai Bin, Wang Bao-quan or Yu Jue-min and so on returns? Chinese male coaches almost have many lessons of failure instead of experiences of success. What a poor Chinese male volleyball circumstance!
    4 The officer of Fujian Province, Chen Zhong-he? Are you kidding me?

  • I Will Either Coach the Chinese Team or Retire, Says Lang Ping


    Editor: Jane Wang, November 29, 2016


    Jenny Lang Ping, head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, said in an interview that she plans to keep coaching the Chinese team as long as she continues her coaching career. She also acknowledged that she has declined several offers to coach for foreign teams.


    Lang, who guided her team to victory during the 2016 Rio Olympics, gave her commentsin a CCTV documentary on Nov. 28.


    "I am aging, and my daughter has a job. We do not have any major pressures, so I will either continue coaching the Chinese women's volleyball team or end my career," said Lang.


    Some speculate that the beloved figure's vague answer indicates that she will continue coaching the Chinese women's volleyball team once her injured knee recuperates.


    Lang also disclosed that on her second day back in Beijing after the Rio Games, several foreign teams, including the Italian team, offered her large sums of money to coach for them, but she refused these offers without hesitation.


    After this year's Olympics, Lang decided to take a long vacation before signing a possible contract extension. She plans to spend time with her family and receive treatment for her injury.

    (wait for the English news)
    If necessary, An Jia-jie or other coaches had to be the temporary head coach before WGP 2017.

  • I just found these videos on youtube, (maybe you guys have seen them already). I`m not sure when it happened, but Zhu just posted on her instagram. Zhu won female player of the year and I think Lang Ping won coach of the year, and the women`s team won a award also.
