　　China News Service, Hangzhou, July 26 (Reporter Wang Hao) On the 26th, Lang Ping, the former coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, appeared at the 2022 Global E-sports Leaders Summit held in Hangzhou, where she shared her story with e-sports.

Since she became curious about e-sports at the Asian Games in Jakarta, e-sports has gradually become one of the common topics for her, her daughter and team members.

Lang Ping also gave advice to the e-sports players who will go to the Hangzhou Asian Games: calm down and stick to the end.

　　In the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, e-sports appeared on the Asian Games arena as a performance event.

And Lang Ping, who was the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team at the time, also became curious about e-sports.

"At that time, I didn't have time to pay attention to preparing for the game. Later, I felt that I should also learn about e-sports competitions, so I watched a game from beginning to end, although I didn't understand it very well." She introduced with a smile.

　　Lang Ping said: "After I learned about it myself, I found that e-sports is very influential in the world of young people, especially for my daughter and some team members. They said that they were very happy to hear that Director Lang also pays attention to e-sports. Talk to me about esports.”

　　"As an elder, it is also very important to have something in common with young people. Especially in the past few years when I led the team, in addition to focusing on volleyball, I also asked myself to be curious about new things." Lang Ping said.

　　At the Hangzhou Asian Games to be held next year, e-sports will debut as an official event for the first time, and Chinese e-sports players will strive to win glory for the country.

At the scene, Lang Ping recalled the experience of the Chinese women's volleyball team conquering the Asian arena and going global when he was a player.

　　"At that time, if you want to participate in the Olympic Games, you must win the Asian championship. This is the first goal on the road to realize your dream. You must go beyond yourself and go beyond history. In every volleyball training camp, our slogan is to work hard on basic skills, try hard, and strive hard. Out of Asia, to the world. In order to reach a tacit understanding between the attacker and the setter, we once practiced for seven hours.”

　　In Lang Ping's view, volleyball and e-sports are quite different, but they also have something in common.

"It's quite different, volleyball is more about running on the court. E-sports players are more quiet, they have different needs, such as energy to be very focused, and the coordination of eyes and hands is also very strict. The common thing is teamwork and presence on the field. strain.”

It's enough to use what you usually train for without reservation, don't put more pressure on yourself."

　　Lang Ping said: "It's normal for you to be ahead or behind in the game. You must maintain a normal mentality. Faced with different problems, you must adjust yourself quickly. As long as it is not over, the situation on the field will change. I hope e-sports players , whether you are leading or falling behind, you must persevere to the end.” (End)
