It is not easy to make outstanding achievements in a certain field, which requires much more time and energy than ordinary people. Many successful people say that they devote themselves wholeheartedly to a certain cause and have no private time at all. This is a successful philosophy that we often hear, but this method does not apply to Lang Ping, because she has her own private space, and there is no volleyball in this space.
Lang Ping can have nearly half a year's holiday, whether she is coaching the China women's volleyball team or the American women's volleyball team, because there is no meaning and nothing to do without the national team. At this time, Lang Ping can give himself a holiday and enjoy life. Vacation is a condition that she particularly values. The same is true of coaching a professional team. After the league, the coach can take a vacation. Generally, the league and the national team are linked together, and players need to turn around. As a coach, Lang Ping is only responsible for part of it.
Lang Ping doesn't like the nickname "Iron Hammer". The girl's name is a bit of that, which makes people feel that this girl is too rough. In fact, Lang Ping likes architecture, music, history and other cultural contents. She will go to the movies, attend concerts or play tennis and basketball during the holidays.
Lang Ping coached the Italian Novara Club in 2002-2003 and led the team to win the league championship. In 2005, he became the head coach of the American women's volleyball team. Yao Ming landed in the NBA in 2002, and their time abroad overlapped. So Lang Ping will go to Yao Ming to cheer for Yao Ming when he is on holiday. At that time, NBA players had two tickets for each game. Yao Ming gave it to Lang Ping every time, and Lang Ping took her daughter to cheer for the little giant.
There are two teams in Los Angeles, the Lakers and the Clippers. Lang Ping certainly wants Yao Ming's team to win, but his daughter Bai Lang is a diehard Lakers fan. This is normal. At that time, all Los Angeles people were Lakers fans.
In the process of coaching European clubs and American women's volleyball national team, one thing has always accompanied Lang Ping, and that is that she needs constant surgery. Some are clean-up surgery, some are replacement surgery, and more interestingly, Lang Ping is not the only former national player of China women's volleyball team who has surgery in the United States. Feng Kun and Zhao are both "patients" of Lang Ping.
Yao Ming will have dinner with Lang Ping and others after the game, which is a realistic version of "China people in LA".
With the passage of time, Yao Ming retired from the NBA, and Lang Ping accepted the invitation of Evergrande Women's Volleyball Team to return to China to coach, so they met again in China. Yao Ming is already the president of CBA and chinese basketball association, while Lang Ping is the head coach of China women's volleyball team, the vice-president of China Volleyball Association and the president of China Volleyball College. Excellent people always appear in groups. The stories of Yao Ming and Lang Ping once again prove this point.
Lang Ping invited Yao Ming to attend the kick-off ceremony of the Super League, and Yao Ming also asked Lang Ping how to serve. Yao Ming, who is used to playing basketball, looked at the volleyball in his hand stupidly, and the scene was very interesting. Serving requires players to have good arm strength. Yao Ming don't have to worry about this at all. After all, this is a great center who once made a name for himself in the NBA. Such a thing can't beat him.
Lang Ping also attended the charity dinner of Yao Fund at the invitation of Yao Ming. Lang Ping brought a signature volleyball, which was finally taken away by a fan at a price of 20,000 yuan, which was regarded as Lang Ping's contribution to the basketball cause in China.
