"OK, move a little to the left, yes, that's all right." Mary adjusted the proportion of the composition with her brush, then looked up at all the members of the Team Momo, "just keep your posture and let me type the draft."
"Thank you, Mary, but I'm still curious about how long it will take for you to make a draft." Momo asked.
"Please be patient. Besides, this is also to celebrate that you have won the first podium in the team history." Mary smiled, "one year later than us."
"It's still the third place, which may be that we have a close heart." Momomo quipped, but Mary did not deny it.
"Of course, your recent performance is also very good. Tell me, how did you beat Team Galactic in the collision final?" Mo asked curiously. "When they entered the final, everyone basically thought that Team Galactic would win five gold medals."
Mary did not answer at the first time, but picked up the eraser to modify the details on the paper. After blowing off all the debris, she picked up the pen and said, "Wow, this is also related to our conversation the day before the game. Do you want to know this story?"
"Of course," Team Momo said in unison. So Mary remembered that day again——
After dinner, the team members of Team Primary gathered in the living room to drink after dinner coffee. The players were all lazy and calm, and didn't talk much to each other. Coach Secondary threw a piece of firewood into the fireplace, then turned to look at his team members.
"Everyone, tomorrow is the Collision Match. We don't need to explain the tactical part, but what I care about is your current state." Secondary said, "I know we haven't achieved much in this season, but this is not the reason why we are stagnant."
Although the team members of Team Primary looked at their coach, none of them echoed his call. The manager Rypr saw that the situation was wrong and took the initiative.
"Otherwise, since everyone is so boring now, let's play a game to activate the atmosphere." Rypr looked at the eyetop and picked up one of the remaining glass bottles. "The classic bottle turning game! The person who turns to it should have a heart to heart talk."
"I can do anything." Aryp was the first to respond to his cousin, and the remaining three primary players also agreed one after another. So they sat around the living room. Rypr and Aryp discussed the strategy in a low voice. Then, Rypr turned the bottle first.
"Aha, Imar." Rypr smiled unkindly, "Well, please name the shortcomings of someone present at random!"
"What? Their shortcomings." Imar looked around the scene, "Mary has become a square again recently? Is that a count?"
"No, you guy!" Mary complained, but she was calm.
"Maybe I didn't see it?" Imar said, and then continued to rotate the bottle, pointing to Prim this time.
"The rules are the same, Prim, let's talk about it," said Rypr. "The disadvantage of whoever is present."
"In fact, I think Imar is more upright than Mary, otherwise he can't run as fast as her.
"Do you have to hold on to the square?" Mary glanced at Prim angrily. Prim didn't think so.
The next one was Aryp, who looked at his coach and said, "I think your mobilization speech is a bit old-fashioned, not like it is used in this era."
"It really hurts." Secondary said that when Aryp's bottle turned to Rima, Rima sighed. "Just talking about the results of this season, I don't think anyone here has reached the standard."
"That's what I want to say. Our level did not play to our full strength." Coach Secondary agreed to Rima's point of view, but he did not find that other members of his team were inadvertently looking elsewhere. And Rima did not stop her desire to express her views. "So do you, coach. I didn't feel the support of the team this season. You should all do better."
"Because you have won a medal, you are entitled to express these views." Imar said with some dissatisfaction, "The two matches you participated in were all eight to four scuffles, which also means it is easier to get ahead, right?"
"But it's better to only get 2 points in this season, isn't it, Captain?" Rima looked at Imar directly, "and I don't understand why Prim has three personal opportunities, but I or Aryp don't."
"I'm sorry, Rima," Prim said. "You're right. I failed to live up to your expectations."
"Well, now the bottle is pointing at me." Mary picked up the bottle and pointed to herself. "Prim, please, don't be so depressed all day long. This is the most poisonous thing for the team."
"Mary, don't be so angry." Aryp said carefully, but Mary mistakenly thought it was Aryp's accusation to her - "Do you think I'm angry? Aryp?"
"No, it's not. Rypr, your idea is terrible. That's the blame. You smart aleck! This game will only add fuel to our atmosphere! It has destroyed the whole team of Team Primary." Aryp finally couldn't help it. Rarely, the Team Primary substitute became angry and pointed the contradiction at his cousin. All the players on the field had never seen Aryp perform like this before. They were stunned at their positions for a while, and only Rypr was very calm.
"Wow, in that case, otherwise you can sit down first. Let's continue, just change the question. Continue to rotate the bottle, but the person who is transferred will tell you one of the other's advantages." Rypr said, and went back to the bottle from Mary, and continued to rotate. This time, he was transferred to himself.
"What I want to say is, Rima, we are really proud of you this season. Since I joined the team, I have seen your talent. It was I who asked the coach to customize a whole set of triathlons and Water Race tactics for you. He spent several weeks working, and I saw it."
Then Rypr turned the bottle again. This time it was Rima. It can be seen that he calmed down. "Captain, Imar, I'm sorry. Your achievements are not equal to your role. Everyone sees them. You have the best mentality among us."
Rima then turned the bottle. This time it was Mary, "Aryp, you are the best one we have now. Thank you for helping the team and my brother in M1S3. We need you."
"It's OK." Aryp was next transferred. "Prim is also very important to me. I think you should know him better than I do. He has a strong sense of responsibility and wants to protect each of us, especially you."
Aryp was later transferred to Imar, "Mary, you are our base. I know that my team leader did not particularly meet everyone's expectations, but you still helped me a lot and always believed in me, thank you!"
"Since everyone has said enough, you're the only one left, Prim." Rypr looked at Prim with a smile, but Rima still got ahead of him.
"By the way, I have to say that I need to thank Rypr and Prim at the same time. Do you remember Prima? I can't forget the most severe bastard. I still remember what he did to me after I lost the pole position in Jungle Track. It was Prim who took the initiative to argue with him. Then it was you, Rypr, who gave the team a new look. You are too important to us."
"In fact, I'd like to say one thing about Prima's advantages. Since you mentioned him," Prim said, and all the other members looked at him in surprise, "Do you remember the most things he taught us at that time? To smash the opponents, to break their defense regardless of everything, to make full use of physical confrontation, and to fight with all your strength. In my opinion, this terrible courage is really an advantage, if we don't lose control."
"Yes, this may be an advantage. And I also hope that we can have such a mindset on the Collision Match tomorrow." Mary said, her body unconsciously rubbed the Prime to praise, "Come on, Team Primary! It's time to show our most dangerous side and crush them! No matter who!"
Their fighting spirit was aroused by the whole line!
"Is that how you won the game?" After hearing this, Mimo was full of pride. "It's so cool."
"Yes, this is a very good story for us," Mary said, putting down her brush and looking at the corner near the window of the studio. The sunshine on the glass bottle reflects the warmth, and the three primary tulips are growing healthily under such care. Beautiful things will only bloom for those who appreciate them, and that requires a positive heart.
