Lang s Army s First Appearance in Group B League

Evergrande Beat Hebei at 3-0

First Show Concluded Perfectly

Last night Guangdong Evergrande Volleyball, a super-luxurious fleet created by Lang Ping herself, appeared for the first time in the domestic league. Eventually the powerful Lang s Army concluded its first show in the Group B league at 3-0 with perfection. Despite the effortless victory, Lang remained serious all the time. After match she said that it was nothing of tension but a habit of many years.

Created by Lang herself, the super-luxurious fleet includes New and former national players like Feng Kun, Yang Hao Zhou Suhong, Yin Yin and Yin Meng, who secured victory with little effort in the match last night, at 25-9, 25-15 and 25-17. This was not only the first show of Lang s team, but the first time for Lang herself to appear in the domestic league.

Although Hebei was a team of ordinary strength, Lang remained serious all the time. She told the reporters that she has a warm feeling at home. She said, A serious expression is just a professional habit rather than tension. Actually I m much delighted to join the league at home, in particular when I see so many enthusiastic audiences who care much for volleyball.

I know that many audiences come for stars like Feng Kun and Zhou Suhong, anyway I hope that besides Evergrande s, other matches can also attract so many fans. In this way the volleyball league can be improved greatly.

As to this competition, Lang said that she d try to arrange performance for every player so that they can be adapted to the environment, and she hoped they would be well prepared for next competitions. They played a good game this time, but had too many errors. It was normal when the team spent only two weeks in training of cooperation. Anyway it would become better.

After the match Lang will lead the team to Xiamen, Fujian Province, meeting Fujian in the away game. Chen Zhonghe, the former coach of Chinese national team and now the director of Fujian Sports Bureau, is in charge of the training of Fujian which is under his supervision, so this is a match with great concern too.

Lang is psychologically prepared for the meaningful He-Ping battle . She said, Fujian has tacit cooperation and we should focus on ourselves and display our full skills. Of course, I m expecting to see Chen because Zhangzhou is the paradise of women s volleyball, where I ve had hard training as player and coach.

I have a deep feeling of it because trainings for any world competition were done there too. I m expecting much to meet Chen again.
