Lang, a world famous spiker while playing, also ushered in a competitive system in national team as no player can guarantee a regular place in the starting lineup.
Zhu Ting, Yuan Xinyue, Hui Ruoqi, Lin Li, Shen Jingsi and other young stars got more chances of training and playing for the national team, but all of them have to fight for the starting places.
Before going to Japan, starters Yang Fangxu and Hui Ruoqi were both sidelined by injuries, bringing shadow to the team's World Cup campaign, but on back of two years' buildup, Lang quickly found proper replacements and had the Japan job done perfectly.
History repeats itself. Former China coach Chen Zhonghe took charge at the team and won the World Cup title in 2003 before leading the team to Athens Games win in 2004.
Lang and her team now have a chance of repeating the feat in next year's Olympic Games.
