Chapter 472 Goals and Allusions
The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! The chance to affect the two players of the opponent is not always there. After the incoming Bludger, George immediately descended, trying to avoid being blocked by Harry as much as possible.
But even so, his broom speed was already a lot slower, and under the influence of this redundant behavior, he had to lag behind Harry and Ginny by a large margin.
The purpose of Maca is obviously achieved. Because in the future, he only needs to use the Bludger's interception again to slow down Harry.
Without saying a word, he just turned around and plummeted down—another Bludger is right below!
The fast flight made his robes sway constantly, making hunting sounds. If you look at it from a distance, Maca at this moment is like a shooting star, rushing down obliquely and straight down.
The moment he passed the Bludger, Maca swung the bat while picking up the handle of the broom. Accompanied by a muffled "bang", the Bludger suddenly soared upwards, and flew straight in front of Harry again.
"Oh—the Firebolt is so fast!" George still had time to sigh, obviously, he knew that he would not be able to catch up again this time.
Generally speaking, there are two tasks for a batsman. In addition to hitting the Bludger to the opponent's Chaser, it is to protect the Chaser in his team as much as possible from the impact of the Bludger.
In the two strokes just now, Maca faithfully performed the batter's previous task, which is to attack; while George has been trying to perform the latter's defensive task.
But unfortunately, under Maca's ingenious obstruction, he couldn't catch up once.
Of course, during a Quidditch match, Harry's senses were still sharp. When he heard the sound of Maca hitting the ball, he was already looking for the direction where the Bludger was flying. But when he saw clearly the flight path of the Bludger, he didn't choose to dodge again.
There was no way, Ginny's flying movements were beautiful, and in addition to the fact that he had slowed down because of avoiding just now, he hadn't had time to get rid of the opponent's entanglement in a short time.
What if I can't hide? Harry thought of a movement almost in the blink of an eye.
He often sees the current captain of the Gryffindor team, Chaser Angelina, practicing a rolling technique, which can effectively reduce the chance of being hit by a bludger while retaining the sprint speed.
This technical action has a very interesting name - "sloth hugging a tree and rolling".
But Harry suddenly leaned over, lying on the broom with his hands and feet tightly wrapped around the broom handle. This action made his speed not only invisible, but even slightly increased. And being close to the broom greatly reduces the area that can be hit, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
However, he still holds the Quaffle in his hand!
This technical action has a lot of disadvantages for protecting the ball. For a while, the red Quaffle has no body cover to protect it, and it is even exposed to Ginny's sight.
Again the Bludger missed Harry, whizzing past inches from his waist and continuing high into the air.
"Not bad?" Makati kept climbing while holding the broom handle. Seeing Harry's decisive response, he couldn't help but nodded. "It seems that the frequent training is not in vain. Enthusiasm makes the difference."
In a normal game, even Maca can't make too much impact by hitting the ball. After all, the hit probability of the Bludger is notoriously low. However, he could tell that George had never intended to hit the ball at his sister, which was considered waterproof in disguise.
Things were going on just as Maca expected. Harry rushed forward wholeheartedly, and Ginny chased hard, but they still couldn't catch up with Harry's speed. The two of them had already entered the scoring area in front of the door knocker after chasing and fleeing. .
By the way, Ron hasn't been active yet, and his forehead is already covered with beads of sweat.
This is the big winter? It is conceivable how nervous he is at the moment.
On the other hand, Harry has never practiced the technique of throwing and shooting, let alone breaking through and throwing the ball alone. Even if he had been Gryffindor's ace all along, he was just a Seeker.
Although he watched his teammates practice a lot, Ron was also a Quidditch fan, and he had watched as many games as Harry!
Even though his heart was shaking, Ron had to move.
I saw that he immediately followed a goalkeeper's action in memory, and kept flying in the shape of an "8" between the two door knockers. Since he couldn't yet see which loop Harry was going to throw, he felt he had to.
However, the technical movements in mind and making them by yourself are completely different things.
As Maca and Ginny said at the beginning - for Quidditch, written knowledge is far less important than practical practice.
Ron's idea is correct, but the speed of the single "8" circle flying he is doing now is far from the standard.
When he flew to the door knocker on the left again, Harry suddenly flicked the broom handle to the right, and suddenly accelerated and sprinted over.
The moment Ron tried to turn hastily, the Quaffle had been thrown by Harry towards the knocker on the right. The ball went a little wide, but after hitting the inside of the knocker, it went through.
"Ten points for Harry!"
Luna, who was watching from below, reported the score in time when she saw it. It can be seen that she is also very excited, waving her arms below, her long pale golden hair is shaking in the sun, reflecting a soft radiance.
Maca didn't bother to congratulate Harry, because he was looking at Luna happily! It would be great if it could make her happy. He didn't care about winning or losing from the very beginning.
This was a small Quidditch match, but it was also a time for the friends to laugh together, and he didn't want to show any personal heroism at this time.
Besides, Luna doesn't take that set either, does she?
Harry above made a goal and immediately grinned. Laughing, he flew towards the falling Quaffle, and after spinning to catch it, he flew towards Ron again.
Ginny, who was behind him, also stopped at this moment, looking a little annoyed.
"Hey, Ron!" Harry said, "I have to say, your choice was very correct, but I think you have to fly faster."
Ron quickly caught the ball Harry threw him, but he just sighed helplessly.
"I tried it too, but I just can't fly fast. I feel that if the speed is too fast, I won't be able to turn in time!" He asked with some distress, "How can I turn around faster?"
"I think you should ask Maca," Harry couldn't help admiring, "he's the fastest turning player I've ever seen! Maca—"
Hearing Harry calling his name, Maca finally took his eyes off Luna, turned around and continued to climb up.
"What's wrong?" He asked as he flew.
"How do you turn around?" Harry was also very curious, "I've never seen anyone who is faster than you, and the arc can be so small!"
"Didn't you see it?" Maca asked strangely.
"I only saw that you turned sideways when you turned around, but I didn't understand." Harry shook his head immediately, "You always block my view when you turn around, and I can only see your back!"
"Really?" Maca thought for a while, and then suddenly said, "Oh! When I turn around, you are usually behind me, no wonder you can't see it..."
He paused, then turned over and made a movement, hooked the broomstick with his right leg, and then while grasping the front end of the broom with his left hand, he turned his whole body sideways, almost forming a nine-nine Ten degrees.
"You can see clearly this time?" Maca hung on the broom, maintaining this movement, "Rely on your own weight to fall in the direction you want to turn, grab the hand of the broom and pull it back at the same time, you can quickly Make a turn. But this action is not easy to master the balance when the speed is fast—"
"Oh—this is really great! How did you come up with it?" Harry seemed to understand the principle, and he nodded repeatedly, "I have to practice hard, and then I can have another trump card! This Especially useful for a Seeker!"
"I didn't come up with this, how could I have the time to think about Quidditch's technical moves?" Maca shook his head and said, "This is the stunt of Nico Nenad, the batter of the Romanian national team. Because I didn’t have time to use it a few times, so few people know about it.”
"Not in time?" Harry asked in surprise.
"Yeah! I didn't have time..." Maca shrugged, "Don't you remember the 'Assault in the Forest①' incident in the Quidditch World Cup in 1809? I think it's quite famous?"
Seeing that everyone seemed unclear, and only Ginny seemed to have a vague impression, Maca explained the general situation with a smile.
"...In that game, Nenad hired a large number of black wizards and cast a curse on the entire forest around the field." He briefly described, "When the situation was not good for Romania, Nenad would The Bludger hit the forest, causing the trees to riot!"
"As a result, Nenad himself died?" Ron and Harry were stunned for a moment.
"That's right, that's it!" Maca smiled and said, "The Quidditch match turned into a battle between a wizard and a big tree, and it lasted seven hours—Nenard, who was the culprit of the incident, was killed by a violent tree. The spruce tree was smoked to death."
"What will happen if you don't obey the rules." Ginny nodded again and again, "But it sounds terrible—ordinary trees can kill people!"
"Okay, I've finished the allusion, let's continue now! Go back to your seats, go and go!" Maca urged, "I don't have many opportunities to play Quidditch with you, you guys Let me play for a while!"
Soon, after everyone was in position again, Ron tossed the Quaffle to Ginny and started the next attack.
