Wang Yimei's appearance coincided with the time, her powerful smash became the most lethal offensive weapon of the Chinese women's volleyball team, "Wang Yimei's smash is like a bombshell, once detonated, the opponent can't parry it at all" Chen Zhonghe, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team at the time, commented
In 2006, Wang Yimei ushered in the first peak of her career, in the World Women's Volleyball Grand Prix, she averaged 20 points per game, becoming the scoring champion of the Chinese team, and against Brazil, Wang Yimei scored 28 points, including 21 smash points and 7 block points, showing comprehensive technical strength

After the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team entered a relatively sluggish period, with the retirement of veterans, the overall strength of the team declined, and Wang Yimei also began to encounter a bottleneck in her career
3. The pain of transformation: the loss from "heavy artillery" to "omnipotence".
As a main attacker known for her strength, Wang Yimei's offensive strength is undoubted, and her technical shortcomings are also very obvious: slow movement speed, weak defensive ability, and lack of physical fitness

After entering the London Olympic cycle, the technical and tactical development trend of the world women's volleyball has gradually shifted from emphasizing strength confrontation to paying more attention to speed, change and defense, which is undoubtedly a huge challenge for Wang Yimei
In 2009, Cai Bin took over as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and he began to try to change the traditional "high and high" tactical system of the Chinese women's volleyball team, focusing more on speed and defense, and trying to cultivate more comprehensive attackers
In this case, Wang Yimei's "heavy artillery" style of play gradually exposed its limitations, her shortcomings of slow movement speed were infinitely amplified by the opponent, and the loopholes on the defensive end have also become a major hidden danger for the Chinese team

In 2013, Lang Ping coached the Chinese women's volleyball team for the second time, and she still recognized Wang Yimei's ability, but also clearly pointed out her problems: "Wang Yimei's offensive strength is undoubted, but her technical shortcomings are too obvious, and it is difficult to have her place in the modern volleyball system"
