Hello, this is Jameslime.
From today on, I will start writing my new interview column Color of Life. The content of writing is for fans at present - but it should also be for players later.
Say hello to you, let's begin.
1.1 Meet
I'm on the plane to Om. Originally, I planned to arrive at Om before Mr. Writer's weekend. However, the torrential rain in Sotsevsa in recent days led to the cancellation of flights. It was not until this Tuesday that I got the flight on Friday morning. The flight of more than ten hours made me yawn, but I still opened the flight log that I had written three quarters of, wrote a paragraph (the introduction of this article), and handed it to the cab. The captain is a Limers fan. He wrote a line of words "Go Lime 2022" and drew a team logo of Limers after my words. After the plane landed, I picked up the flight log, put it in my bag, got off the plane, and called Writer on the weekend. He said that he could not interview with me, but wished me a smooth interview. At the same time, he said he was looking forward to my interview.
The airport is far from the ancient city of Om. I got on a bus and prepared to go to the ancient city. The bus was overcrowded, but I didn't know what had happened. At the stop of Om Ancient City, the marbles on the bus rushed down, and I was pushed down without even walking.
The ancient city of Om is crowded with each other. It took me more than an hour to be pushed to the Mo Dumpling Shop. I went in and saw only Mimo in formal clothes. I asked him, "Where are your team members?" He replied, "Oh, they are holding a big stomach match near Momo Station, and can't come here. After I took you to the fans' home, I also went there." "So, there are so many balls today?" "Yes. But I tell you a good news: this fan rarely participates in such activities, so you can interview as much as you like." He took me out of the restaurant through the back door, and then, Came to a small building. "Go up to the second floor. The fans you interviewed are here. I won't go up. They are waiting for me." Just after the words, Mimo left.
I walked into the small building. This small building is made of wood, and there is no elevator. Walking on the stairs, it makes a creaking noise, which makes me feel that it will collapse at any time. On the second floor, I knocked at the door. An old blind marble opened the door and said, "I'm Mumo. Who are you looking for?"
1.2 Glorious years from 2011 to 2017
When I told Mumo about my coming, he led me into the living room. I stood by the sofa near the door and looked at the house.
It's not as big as it looks from the outside. In fact, I think this room is about the same size as my usual hotel. The room was plastered with posters in Braille. There is a table in the middle of the room with a sofa beside it. There is an old radio on the table and a bed in the corner. I
noticed that the colors of the blind staff in Mumo's hands are green, yellow and blue - the colors of the Momo team uniform.
Mumo sat next to me and asked me to sit on the sofa. I sat on the sofa next to me, took out my notebook from my bag, and asked, "How did you like Team Momo?"
"I hate answering questions. So, you don't need to ask questions. I'll tell you, my story. What do you think?"
"Of course!" I replied.
"When I was very young, I suffered from a very serious disease. After treatment, my life was saved, but I was blind from then on. Later, I went to a school for the blind, and stayed in the school for the blind after graduation, and became a teacher. However, the story starts in 2011. Mo's family lived upstairs, and he knew me since childhood. On that day, he told me that he was eager to realize his dream, start training, and participate in ramen bowl. Tell the truth at first, I was not interested in sports. But that day, I encouraged him and supported him to form a team. In retrospect, this not only changed him, but also changed me.
"In the summer of 2012, they took part in the Ramen Bowl Class A League. I always remember the day when I first watched the game. It was a hurdle race, and Momomo led the team to the stage. I sat at home and listened to the commentator's commentary. Momomo finished in the group match, but in the end, when the first two hurdles fell behind, he caught up in the third hurdle and won the gold medal. I seemed to cheer. Because of this gold medal, they just in the final competition with the ceramic team, he was promoted to the Champions League.
"After Momo was promoted to the Champions League, I felt very worried. After all, the Ramen Bowl League was the hot pot team, and they had won the championship three times in a row. Since its establishment in 1990, the Ramen Bowl League has never been promoted to the championship.
"However, they surprised me. In eight competitions, they won two gold medals and two silver medals, and won the championship by an absolute advantage. When Mimo won the silver medal in the last sand rally, I quickly went downstairs to eat in the restaurant.
"I thought they would win the championship in a row, but that was not the case. After the first four games, Team Momo won one gold medal, one silver medal and one bronze medal, ranking first in the scoreboard. However, in the fifth box pushing game, they were the last to win, and only got 2 points in the next game. After the seventh game, they lost their hope of winning the championship. Although Mimo won the bronze medal in the final game of Sand Rally, the champion and runner up are no longer Belongs to us. That night, I heard Mo say to his friends: 'If I don't get 1 point in the sixth Funnel, we can win the championship.' I said, 'Maybe you will win the champion back next year and stand on the world stage.'
"They seem to have listened. In 2015, they were invincible in the league and won the trophy again with great advantage. That is to say, this season, they determined their team logo - the garbage bag team logo. On the day of winning the championship, I went to see the game for the first time. It was also the Sand Rally and Mimo participated, but this time he only won the fifth place. However, the champion was still us. The team gave a medal to the fans every ball ——Look, it's right here. "
Mumo picked up a medal and touched it gently.
"At the beginning of 2016, I heard that Team Momo was invited to participate in the first Marble League. At the beginning, I didn't know what it was, but I only knew that it was a worldwide competition. However, I am also happy for Team Momo.
"In the first game, I was surprised to hear that Momo won the bronze medal. Next, their performance was somewhat unsatisfactory. However, in the long jump, we won another bronze medal. In the tenth game, our team created a historic moment - we won the first gold medal in the team's history. To be honest, I like the early half pipe match very much. If Om can hold a league tournament, I will definitely propose to modify this project, but then join the competition.
"Before the final hurdle race, we still have a chance to win the championship. Although Momo lost the championship in the end, I'm still very satisfied with our results. We still can't compare with European teams and American teams. It's good to win the fourth place and escape the qualifying match. This is also our best result.
"In the winter of 2016, I went to a restaurant to have a meal and heard Momo's players say that they will win the championship. I had no doubt about that at that time. However, at the beginning of the 2017 season, we played the first two games in a flat way. You know, that scene is going to happen..."
Of course, I know what he said.
"The third game is the Fingertip Gyro Collision Race. I don't like the collision race because I can only hear the results. I was still listening to the live broadcast. Suddenly, there was a scream: I knew Momomomo was seriously injured.
"You know, it takes an astronomical figure to get Momomomo back on the court. However, many teams have helped us. In addition, the three primary colors and midnight jointly held an auction and a concert of the flying insects to fund us. At the same time, I also donated tens of thousands of dollars, even if it is insignificant. After more than a dozen operations, Momomomo finally recovered. However, we need one A substitute - Mimo. "
"Excuse me, I'm curious about such a question. Isn't Mimo a founding member? Why didn't he participate in the 2016 Olympic Games?" I suddenly realized.
"In fact, Mimo is not a founding member. He only appeared in the last game, because he was a teacher, and only had time in the last game. After Momo was promoted to the Pinball Olympics in 2016, Mimo did not join. This may have something to do with his name. However, after Momomomo was injured in 2017, Momo called Mimo to invite him to participate in the game. Mimo agreed.
"That's why I was so surprised at Mimo's performance. Soon after he joined the team, the team won cards in three games - two teams and one individual. At the same time, Mimo also won a bronze medal in that individual game. To be honest, I think he was the best player that season.
"After the high jump match, the team broke out a little friction. Mo complained that Mimo stole the team's spotlight, so that the team did not play well in the later matches. However, before the final game, Momomomo mediated the contradiction. Although the final result was poor, a united team was established.
"In the end, we ranked ninth. Under the attack of countless unexpected situations, this is a good result.
"At the end of 2017, Momomomo was completely recovered. The team seemed to be thriving. Even if it was going to play in the qualifiers, there was no fear of marbles."
1.3 Low tide period from 2018 to 2020
Mumo took a drink of water and continued to tell:
"2018 is a winter game. This is a different attempt. In the qualifying match, we achieved excellent results and qualified for the regular match for three consecutive years. However, we were not good at winter games. But in the third game, something worse happened: Momomo suffered from altitude reaction and was unable to participate in the game. Momomomo also left the game injured. Later, Mo contacted many teams in green jerseys, but no team responded. Finally, it was the three primary colors and We united to form the Momary team.
"I have always opposed the temporary team combination. However, in the face of the danger of withdrawal, we decided to unite.
"The effect of the temporary team combination was not good. We were ranked last. However, after a period of time, Momo won a gold medal. Later, in the obstacle chase, the team won a silver medal. We got rid of the last one. Finally, we were ranked 12th, a fair place.
"The three primary colors team, to be honest, is a more chaotic team than their competitors. They are too disunited.
"In 2019, I went to the site for the first time. However, I did not sit in the Momo fan seat. However, that was an unpleasant memory."
I noticed that Mumo's hands were shaking.
I answered in my heart: "Yes." Because this is the beginning of the decline of my home team, Limers.
"By 2019, everything seems to be developing. We are confident that we will be able to participate in the 2019 race. Momomomo played in the first funnel race. Our ranking was OK. I was cheering for the team at that time, however, when we arrived at Block Pushing, we did not play well. This is our strong point; however, we ranked 13th. We hope to win a good place in the relay race, but it is also a midstream place. We are getting more and more the more dangerous. By the way, are you from Sotsevsa? I remember when I watched the game, I heard the sound of fighting, as if there were gunshots. Is this the work of your famous sports hooligan organization, "The Seaside People's Sect"
"That's not certain. It can't be said that the" Crazy Iron Gang "did it." I shook my head. "By the way, do you have an extremist fan organization?"
"That's a European thing."
"Wait, if I remember correctly, Chocolaiters, Rojo Rollers, Jungle Jumpers and O'rangers are more famous extreme fan organizations of American teams!"
"Don't interrupt. To be honest, there are some extreme fans, like the one who threw balloons at the stadium after the 2021 league tournament. But there is no extreme fan organization. We are very harmonious.
"In the final diving competition, we must take the cards as much as possible. We played in the last group. When I heard Mo taking the lead, I shouted loudly. However, who ever thought that the players of Rojo Rollers and Team Primary caught up and took the first place. The 16th place - which means that we can only watch ML2019 in the stands. I remember crying like rain at that time, but there was an old female marble sitting besides, comforting me and saying: "I will come back, I will return to the league."
"I like the atmosphere of our old fans very much. Unlike you young players who are as enthusiastic and aggressive, we old players help each other and are full of warmth, even if they are not fans of the same team."
"Which team is she a fan of?"
"I remember hearing her cheer for Snowballs."
"Excuse me, can you remember her name?"
"I remember her friends calling her Mrs. Slade."
I took down the name.
"I don't need to mention Showdown and M1 after 2019. Our performance at that time was good, and we finally returned to 2020 successfully. Our performance in that year was also fairly good. Even though we ranked last several times, we won two silver medals in a row - I don't know why, we always won medals in a row, and finally won the eighth place, one place higher than raspberry."
1.4 Create resplendence again in 2021
The night has covered the ancient town, and the lights under the small building are flashing, and people are buzzing. The big stomach competition is about to start. I sat in the dark yellow room and listened to Mumo's story.
"In fact, although I like M1 very much, it has never left an impression in my mind - even Mimo, who scored nine goals in one turn. However, I was very impressed with that grand prix. This is my first time to watch the game at home. At the beginning, we ranked last. However, this" magic player "Mimo can always create miracles. At one time, he reached the top, and finally finished seventh. Marble said that our home court is Marble League's "second devil home court", which I quite agree with.
"Finally, we ranked fifth. This is a great record.
"In 2021, we rushed into the league from the qualifiers. However, this year's league has given me joy and subsequent disappointment.
"From the second game, we played well, in the first five games. In addition, in the seventh game, we won four medals. Especially in the hurdle race - two years later, we won the gold medal again. At the same time, we locked the half way championship. This is the closest time to the cup.
"I still remember that day clearly. The whole Om was crazy. The streets were crowded with people, shouting Momo's cheers and singing WYAS. Before Block Pushing, I very much expected the team to win the gold medal. Because, this is our strong point. But in this game, we played badly, and finally ranked average. I never thought that this was the beginning of our journey away from the trophy.
"When the Block Pushing was over, I felt that we had lost the confidence of winning the championship. Almost all the events we were not good at were behind us, and our players did not get good results in the new events. By the 12th game - probably, we fell to the first place. In fact, we could not win the championship.
"On Sand Rally, Momomomo's lead gave me a glimmer of hope, however, the hope was soon broken. He finally ranked last. I don't blame Momomomo, because I think he wanted to win too much. At this stage, the whole team had no chance to win the championship.
"Finally, in the football match, we played in an average way. When we got to the small wheel car, Mimo participated in the game. Even if he was the 'Mr. Wonder', he failed to let us create miracles and enter the top three. However, Mellow Yellow and Gliding Glaciers played better, didn't they?
"After they came back, I once talked with them for a while. They blamed themselves very much. Just like a few years ago, I comforted them with the same words. It seems that they listened.
"Finally, I want to tell you a story. One of our fans, Marble, was seriously ill and needs at least millions of people to be cured. However, since they, Team Momo, and those old fans knew about this, they started us to donate money. With our donation, the marble finally recovered. Someone asked why there are so many fans because Team Momo did not play so well. I would answer, because I Our players and fans blend together. Momo is like a big family. Let's synthesize a heart that will beat and be bright forever. "
Always beat, always bright. I savored this sentence.
1.5 Ending
Outside the window, the night is deep and the lights are bright.
Shouting Momo, marbles waving scarves gathered.
At this time, singing came from outside the window.
Mumo moved to the window and sang.
I heard him singing out of the window:
When you are smiling，
When you are smiling，
The whole world smiles with you，
When you are laughing，
OH, when you are laughing，
The sun comes shining through，
When you are crying，
You bring on the rain so stop your sighing，
Be happy again when you are smiling，
The whole world smiles with you，
The whole world smiles with you……
