Chapter 1070: The Interrupted Ronsky Feint
"...it's Ginny Weasley! Gryffindor keeper Ginny Weasley catches a tricky angled right-hander! It's Gryffindor beauty Ginny Weasley!"
"Look, that's not bad! She passed a standard low toss to Demelza Robbins! Robbins flies well too - remember? He's just retired captain Harry The talents discovered by Porter were just a bench substitute until a few years ago!"
"It's a pity to say... Although Potter said to focus on his studies, I still think he is the most handsome man on the Quidditch pitch! I heard that he has recently asked for leave. Hope... oh, wait! False advance! Robbins sent Dean Thomas past Ravenclaw captain Cho Chang with a non-standard back pass from the underarm!"
"No! We have to wait a little longer! Thomas failed to break through—as expected of Qiu who has both technology and beauty! Her big counterattack action was unexpected! Not only did she avoid the Bludger that was attacking her, It even snatched the Quaffle back from Thomas precisely!"
"Ravenclaw, attack!"
On the Quidditch pitch, the passion in the hearts of the little wizards was being constantly stirred up by the commentator.
Although this year's new commentator sometimes likes to talk about the private life of the players, her technical commentary is not bad at all, and the atmosphere of the entire stadium is constantly heated up.
And, there is no doubt that this Quidditch duel between the lion and the eagle is very evenly matched.
Of course, to some extent, the actions of both Seekers have nothing to do with the offensive and defensive battles of other players. Hermione and Luna were chasing each other higher in the air, flying up and down around the field, trying to find the trace of the golden snitch.
Yes, apart from the need to keep an eye on whether the opponent's batter is hitting the Bludger towards them from time to time, their task is more of a competition with each other.
The sound of the wind whistled in the ears of Hermione and Luna.
"Hula—hula—"
Accompanied by two consecutive air blasts, Hermione and Luna flew past the stands of the teaching staff successively. Then Maca saw that Hermione, who was flying in the front, suddenly turned around and climbed towards a higher place.
Was she the first to find out where the Snitch was?
No, it wasn't - the golden snitch was flying at a very high speed at an unknown location, and Hermione didn't really see the small golden figure.
This is a textbook example of Bagarda's slalom climb. It was originally a technical movement used by a chaser to get rid of the chase, but Hermione flexibly used it in the fake action tactics of the seeker.
And it was her beautiful spiral climb that attracted most of the audience's attention, and many little Gryffindor wizards subconsciously shouted.
However, Luna's reaction was not slow.
She who had been chasing behind Hermione, although she was swayed by the other party's movement for a while, soon she also pulled up the broomstick, drew an arc and accelerated to follow.
But to be honest...
"Why doesn't it look like Luna's style?"
Maca, like other spectators, raised her neck and looked at the sky, watching Luna draw a concise and clear arc in the air. But at this moment in his heart,
In fact, I feel a little puzzled.
In fact, compared with Hermione, who used various technical skills from time to time, Luna's flying was a bit too ordinary-this has nothing in common with her usual unconstrained thinking?
But, to be honest... Even Maca, in fact, has not really understood what kind of girl Luna Lovegood is.
"call--"
However, Luna turned over and adjusted her orientation with an arc, and then quickly returned to a position almost in line with Hermione's flight trajectory. Then, she was the same as before, staring at the tail of Hermione's broom and chasing straight after her.
It was true that Hermione's gyrating and climbing movements were more advantageous at first. Although she lost some speed, she was able to turn faster and get rid of the pursuers.
However, what she did was a fake move after all, and she didn't really find the trace of the golden snitch. It won't be long before Luna, who turned in a big arc, will catch up again, and may even be overtaken in one fell swoop.
Because, the steering method chosen by Luna will only reduce a small part of the flying speed.
Sure enough, only six or seven seconds later, Hermione felt a person following behind her again, and she was still approaching.
Oh! They weren't riding Firebolts—their broomsticks couldn't reach the limit of flying speed within ten seconds.
Because of this, Luna who reached the top speed earlier would overtake her in one fell swoop!
For a qualified seeker, the opening stage of the entire game is basically a race and entanglement with the opponent's seeker.
Although even if you don't care about your opponent, the opponent may not necessarily find the Snitch before you, but the more professional the player is, the less likely he will allow himself to rely on luck to find the winner.
That's 150 points!
Therefore, the Seekers of the two teams have been "sticky" together from beginning to end, which is the norm on the field.
But because of this, the Seeker who enters the chase battle will try his best to become the leader and use this to gain a wider field of vision than his opponent.
And this will often make it find the golden snitch's position one step ahead.
When she felt that Luna was about to surpass herself and win the pilotship, Hermione decisively made another big change. Since it is the first time, there is only one way to go to the dark.
Turning around again, climbing up, and then turning down again, three movements in a row, the timing of each movement is extremely precise, showing the results of Hermione's hard practice during this period of time.
Ke Luna is also extremely fast.
After discovering that Hermione's second action was to climb again, she also climbed up; when she saw that Hermione turned around and changed to a dive again, she also descended together.
When the two passed by each other during the period, they glanced at each other - at that moment, they both saw that the other was pursing their lips without letting go.
That's right, not only Hermione, who has always been meticulous in her work, but even Luna, who is always in a trance, also showed a rare firmness.
Then, Luna, who was almost able to surpass Hermione, was pulled away again.
However, Hermione's lead will eventually be overtaken by Luna again, and at that time, she will be in the predicament of having to change direction again. And every turn would force Hermione to slow down.
In this way, Luna will surpass her sooner or later.
Therefore, in this racing phase, either Hermione was the first to spot the Snitch, or she could just watch Luna pass by her.
The right to lead the flight can greatly increase the chances of spotting the Snitch before the opponent - Hermione doesn't want to just lose it!
You must know that there are actually not many games where the Snitch can be caught in a short period of time, and the record for the longest event in Quidditch history even exceeded three months.
Of course, the Quidditch Cup at Hogwarts is just a competition for students. If it takes so long to compete, do you still want to go to school?
But even if there is a time limit for the Quidditch Cup game, including pauses during the period, it can last a whole day at the longest!
"...Although it sounds a bit 'cunning', I still have at least one advantage in this competition."
While diving at high speed, Hermione secretly thought about countermeasures in her heart. Even if the actual situation is actually not good for her, after all, Luna's simple flying method is actually more conducive to protracted battles, but she is still very calm.
"And my advantage is... Luna never fakes!"
The two of them would come to the stadium for practice almost every night, not to mention whether Luna learned some of Hermione's habits, at least Hermione had carefully observed Luna's flying.
And one of the big things Hermione observed was the straightforward way of flying caused by Luna's innocent character.
As a Seeker, Luna's flying skills are concise and effective, which is undoubtedly a plus. But if you look at it from another angle, the advantage may also become a defect.
At this moment, Hermione seemed to be the first to find the location of the Golden Snitch, and saw her staring closely at the neat lawn under the court, and suddenly adjusted her direction while swooping down.
"Could it be...Lonski's fake move?"
Among the young wizards who went to the Quidditch World Cup three years ago, some began to realize Hermione's thoughts-they still remembered that when Krum of Durmstrang was the star of the Bulgarian team, he It was this difficult technical action that tricked the Irish team's seeker into falling to the ground at high speed.
Could it be that Hermione wants to do that once, too?
"It's too dangerous!"
In that short ten seconds, some students couldn't help shouting. And the danger he was talking about didn't just refer to Luna, because this action was very difficult, so even the performer might kiss the ground at an alarming speed.
However, everyone seems to be worried for nothing.
Just when Hermione was about to hit the lawn in about five seconds, she didn't know if she was scared or something, but she suddenly pulled the broom handle and flew towards the other side of the arena horizontally.
"It really doesn't work," Hermione murmured in her heart while flying, "Even if I have to win this fight, it's quite normal to use fake moves in the fight...but it's too much for Luna. It's not fair anymore."
While Hermione was thinking like this for a few seconds, Luna behind her finally seized the right moment, and rushed past Hermione who needed to re-accelerate with a roar of the wind.
"...Huh? Why didn't you finish the action just now?"
Hermione didn't hear it, and Luna muttered suspiciously as it passed over her.
