Chinese coaches like to pick their setters very early. Setters usually start training before 7 and if they can’t make national team before 20, they’re done. Sports players also go to sports schools that focus more on training instead of normal schools that focus on academics. Ding started playing volleyball in middle school at 12 yo. And she didn’t go to sports schools. She trains 2 hours after class and that was it. It was more of a hobby, until a coach from Liaoning saw her play and offered her a chance to try for their team, which was in desperate need of a setter. And after high school graduation, Ding eventually chose volleyball over Gaokao. She started her real professional training in Liaoning at 18, which was deemed too late to achieve anything by most coaches. But Liaoning stuck with her, and even made her team captain at 20 years old with barely any real experience. Liaoning even stated that their main goal was to make Ding a national team setter. At that time it was regarded as a joke. Nobody took them seriously, a club that has never produced a decent setter and a setter that barely played any real volleyball. And in 2015, less than one year away from the Rio Olympics, she made the national team at 25 years old. Every time she subbed in she made an impact. Although she was never Lang Ping’s first pick (she’s too short for a team so tall), she became the main setter of this Lang Ping era.
I agree. 2015 World Cup was the start of her era. She even got the 2nd setter position in 2016 Olympics which was supposed for Shen Jingsi. Fortunately, she really proved herself pivotal for the team’s success especially during the championship game against Serbia. So proud of her and Yan Ni. They’re my old but gold tandem. Liaoning is lucky to have both of them.
Some people tend to overlook Ding Xia’s skills because of her spikers not noticing how her great and fast her court making decisions were everytime. She can change the tempo and rhythm inside the court which makes their opponent having a hard time guessing on who to block.
Best setter I've ever seen and most important player in Chinese team imo,when she plays ,it improves whole team synergy and fluidity and ofcourse her setting is the pivot for zhu ting ,zhang changing,gong xiang yu
Unfortunately, she did not play very well at the Olympics because of a serious injury (even if it was not made public). Many people ignore her perfect defense and she tried to make up for the lack of the pass of Liberia’s every time. It still cannot be denied that she is the best setter of the Chinese team in the past five years. She still deserves it. Thank you Ding, for your contribution.
The best setter in the world and the most underrated and possibly well rounded player on the Chinese team
no doubt ! , she's a combatant, a fighter and an athlete

One of the best setter in the world

中国队场上6人，5个可以扣球，1个又是全球第一主攻手，郎平的这种全面进攻，就是男排都少见😏
5:58 best underhand pass
萬般招式，唯快不破，快而能穩，就要重復打磨去蕪存菁，五年之功滴水穿石，女排們已經不知練了多少次了！
2:38 head goal
❤️❤️❤️

郎平真的了不起
這個先發陣容以後應該是不會再有了
所谓时间差，就是在对手拦网不及时，造成主攻有机会可以下球。竞技体育只有输赢！挺中国女排~
举球动作过于明显是给谁，影响不了对方拦网的动向，这一向来都是丁霞的弱点，但这些年真的还是进步了不少，排球还是需要像她这份拼劲！
你在胡扯什么？丁霞恰恰因为传球欺骗性高经常性晃出1对1，很多时候把对面副攻给晃的像傻子一样，比如19年世界杯美国的华盛顿日本的荒木大队长，奥运资格赛土耳其的艾达。今年VNL对美国队的比赛中美国队的斯洛文尼亚助教就明确指出看丁霞的传球不能看身体要看肘，因为丁霞经常身体后倾假装要传身后球却传出身前球，往往还是快球。VNL对美国的比赛FIVB的两个解说对丁霞颜妮的28连动那么赞不绝口就是对丁霞传球最好的褒扬。还丁霞的弱点，要说丁霞的弱点就是现在只要研究过中国女排的都知道丁霞会暴力二传上身动不动打二次，所以前排会留人防她导致今年VNL丁霞的二次被拦了几个。
@@hunterwaye 补充一点 丁霞的脚步特别快 前排时除了用后倾的假动作骗对手 而且喜欢跳传加速 还可以在对手发球破功厉害一传不到位时 跑到后面用跳传强行组织快攻在后排防守时也可以作为半个自由人。真正的缺点除了容易急眼 喜欢自己扣球 再就是身高稍矮 在排场上阵容时会被对手争对 因为二传轮换时在右边刚好面对人家的主攻 拦网时可能被争对..这次带了刘宴寒 碰上厉害主攻可以换人拦网
丁霞是孙春兰的亲戚，以后她领衔的中国女排夺冠，估计孙春兰会奖励中国女排。不过要是输了呢？
