周五晚上，前中国队选手郎平带领的美国女排以3比2击败了中国队。

The United States, playing under former Chinese player Jenny Lang Ping, defeated China 3-2 in women's volleyball Friday night.

周五比赛之前，当问及她的经验能否给美国队带来一些优势，或者一些排兵布阵的方略时，主教练郎平言归正传。

Before the two teams met Friday, as for her experience giving the United States any advantage, or even any insight into strategy, Coach Jenny Lang Ping got back to business.

她说，“这将是一场非常，非常艰难的比赛。中国队是主场作战，而且他们打得很好。”

"It's going to be a very, very tough game. China is the host and they play very well," she said.

"就算是你了解他们的打法，也必须要去拼，而且要打好。”

"You have to go play and play well, even if you know how they play."
