-the only big ball event that won the gold medal in the world series in a row;
-The only sport endowed with "spiritual" meaning.
From stumbling through the group stage to beating host Brazil 3-2, until Serbia won the championship 3-/kloc-0-,the women's volleyball girls really made a turnaround.
Unity and hard work, perseverance, calm confrontation and never giving up, the spirit of women's volleyball once again touched the people of the whole country. The Spirit of Women's Volleyball Team —— Glory in 1980s
198 1 year, China women's volleyball team took part in the third world cup volleyball match held in Japan as the Asian champion. After seven rounds and 28 matches, China won the World Cup for the first time with a record of seven victories on June 6th. 165438. Subsequently, in Peru 1982 World Championships, China women's volleyball team won the championship again. Then at the 23rd Olympic Games on 1984, China women's volleyball team realized its dream of winning three consecutive championships. 1985 in the 4th World Cup, 1986 in the 10th World Women's Volleyball Championship, China won the championship twice in a row. Thus, from 198 1 to 1986, China women's volleyball team set the first "five consecutive championships" in the world volleyball history, injecting a stimulant into China sports which just opened the door to the world.
At that time, it was the primary stage of reform and opening up, and China launched a "new" social and economic system. The spirit of women's volleyball matches the spirit of the times. Lang Ping wrote in his autobiography "Passion Years": "After the women's volleyball team won the championship, my spiking image was stamped, the image of the women's volleyball team was put on the calendar, and there were commemorative coins and medals. Like a national hero, driving you up and down. Playing ball is not our own personal matter or behavior, but a national event. I do not belong to myself. The women's volleyball team is a banner. "
At that time, a commentator on the front page of People's Daily wrote, "Why are you worried that modernization cannot be achieved in the spirit of China women's volleyball team?" Lang Ping column of People's Daily reported that factory women workers were deeply moved by the spirit of women's volleyball team and took the initiative to work overtime and overfulfilled their tasks. The sense of collective honor and fighting spirit inspired a generation of China people.
1984, China participated in the Olympic Games for the first time, and achieved 15 gold, 8 silver and 9 bronze, ranking fourth in the medal list. At the same time, China has also developed into the largest factory in the world. The development of women's volleyball keeps pace with that of China, leading the world. * * * isomorphic became the golden 1980s.
"Catch up with the Premier League" or "Learn from the West"?
1985, Lang Ping retired and chose to leave the United States to be a student. She received a master's degree in modern sports management from the University of New Mexico and began her teaching career. Lang Ping consciously joined the "Modernization Major of Sports Management Department" in his volleyball career. It has created her international and advanced teaching experience.
Lang Ping's choice was difficult to understand at that time, but it was prescient. In the era when the west has the right to speak sports, only by learning the sports management knowledge of the most advanced countries can we keep up with the development and cope with sports competitions.
Lang Ping is a woman who has carried out the fighting spirit of women's volleyball team all her life. Her hard work and a lot of official WeChat accounts, the women's volleyball team went online as soon as it won.
In the sports rules established by a western power, in order to achieve the goal of "catching beautiful women in the Premier League", we must learn this set well (of course, even if they have the upper hand, they can change the rules with their existing right to speak. Table tennis is changed to a big ball, 2 1 points system is changed to 1 1 points system, and mixed doubles is changed to a team, which is why).
But volleyball is not table tennis-a team of 12 people can only achieve good results if they are United and cooperate tacitly; It's not even basketball or football. If there are one or two elite players, the whole team will have an extraordinary performance. Volleyball requires high stability and overall strength of the team. Therefore, even in the established rules, it is difficult for a team to dominate for a long time, which is why it is difficult to win every victory of women's volleyball girls, and it is also the reason why teams from various countries should constantly learn from each other and catch up with each other, and it is also the reason why it is difficult to dominate. Perhaps this is also the most interesting place of volleyball.
The spirit of women's volleyball in the commodity age
Today, sports have already surpassed the general meaning of fitness and become more commercialized. In particular, the Olympic gold medal has the highest gold content, and getting it is equivalent to getting a large endorsement fee.
Everyone's "husband" Ning Zetao was almost sent to the altar before the Olympic Games, and took over several sponsors such as 36 1, Yili, De Beers Diamond, Netease, VISA and Skullcandy headphones in one breath. In terms of media exposure, it also became the spokesperson of Netease News at a high price of 8 million yuan in this Olympic Games, and was even considered by experts as "no problem to earn 65.438 billion yuan in five years" and became a "superstar" after Yao Ming and Liu Xiang.
According to public reports, Sun Yang and other celebrities' endorsement fees have reached 20 million, and their total annual income has already reached hundreds of millions. It is already higher than the price of 60 million yuan per season when anhui tv's "The Law of the jungle" intends to find Liu Xiang. It is reported that the first commercial Weibo published by Fu, a new hot figure in this year's Olympic Games, is worth as much as six figures.
The women's volleyball girl, the winner of the "heaviest gold medal", has a heavy training task, but in fact her salary is not high.
On the evening of 2065438+September 6th, 2005, Zhang Ping, the former deputy attacker of China Women's Volleyball Team, visited CCTV to interpret the final battle of the Women's Volleyball World Cup, saying that "Women's Volleyball Team is the best in China, but our treatment is not as good as football and basketball."
Hui Ruoqi, the captain of China women's volleyball team, who ranks first in league salary, also said on 20 13 that the salary of volleyball players in one year is less than that of basketball players in one game.
In China, in the highly commercialized football and basketball leagues, the cost of a club is hundreds of millions. On the one hand, athletes should practice the ball well, establish the image of sports stars through superb technology, and strive for the hit rate to get more bonuses; At the same time, we should also create a good personal image, take the road of being a star and become a rich man with a lot of advertising endorsement fees. And these two points, the women's volleyball girls have not done it. Of course, how many women's football and women's basketball teams in China are worse than the most expensive men's and men's basketball teams in China? It goes without saying that it is not convenient for me to say more.
The temptation is of course enormous. Many athletes and commentators also expressed their hope to speed up the marketization of volleyball in China, play commercial leagues, establish the star image of athletes, promote the further development of volleyball with generous benefits and improve the level of volleyball players.
However, compared with other kinds of ball games, volleyball is not easy to produce individual stars-the main attack spike, the auxiliary attack block and the opponent's mistake can all score points, which requires high team unity and tacit understanding. This poses a challenge to the personal business transformation of volleyball players. Now we see shining football stars and basketball stars, but volleyball usually appears as a whole team, which reflects the value of individual commercialization.
But what really moved the whole country was the spirit of unity that became an obstacle to business transformation.
After more than 30 years of development, the Olympic Games has added more commercial and economic elements than the simple "national system" of that year. When athletes hold the national flag with tears in their eyes, strong patriotic feelings will arise spontaneously, but it also means that a large number of endorsement fees will flood into ta. However, China women's volleyball team, whose team strength is far greater than the sum of strength, is hard to fall into this business cycle. In the spiritual sense, the women's volleyball team has the heaviest gold medal; Economically speaking, this gold medal is light.
This spirit of women's volleyball, which is less than the collective interests, fully cooperates with teammates, improves their technical and psychological quality to the greatest extent in the best cooperation process, and finally achieves both individual and collective achievements, which is the legacy instilled by long-term socialist collective values. The spirit of China women's volleyball team that touched the world is unity, hard work, fearlessness and perseverance, but it is not the soul chicken soup for personal success.
So at this time, we are moved by the spirit of the women's volleyball team. We really look forward to the return of a kind of values, instead of letting the women's volleyball team become the second men's football team through a wave of commercial temptations and go to the opposite side of the spirit of the women's volleyball team.
