Chapter 38 Battle Against Hufflepuff (Revised, Typos Have Been Corrected)
"Good morning, everyone. I am the commentator for this game—Lee Jordan. This game is Ravenclaw vs. Hufflepuff!" Gryffindor's Lee Jordan's enthusiastic voice ignited the audience Cheers, he is a black boy with a traditional black haircut, and his big white teeth are in stark contrast to his complexion when he speaks.
"Now the Quaffle is first grabbed by Ravenclaw Chaser Alan Harris wearing the No. 3 jersey. If Harry Potter of Gryffindor is the youngest Seeker in a century , then Harris is the youngest Chaser in a century, he was the first to grab the Quaffle in the first game, it seems that although he is young, he is agile enough!" Lee Jordan introduced AI At the same time, he did not forget to bring Harry of Gryffindor.
"He was flying all the way on it, this speed-this speed is amazing... Wait, Merlin! Did you see that? Harris is riding a concept broomstick Neptune." Jordan jumped up from his seat excitedly.
A black Bludger hit Allen's back quickly, but Allen quickly dodged it as if he had eyes on his back, and the Bludger whizzed aggressively from Allen's ear Pass.
"Oh, watch out! Hufflepuff's Gabrielle Truman's fierce blow was dodged by Allen riding Neptune, and Neptune's performance really lives up to its reputation." Jordan roared, "Fortunately, Alan Harris is not looking for the ball hand, otherwise Harry Potter's Nimbus 2000 won't have any advantage against this broom..."
"Jordan! This is not a Gryffindor game! Nor is it time to advertise broomsticks!" Professor McGonagall poked Jordan in the back with his wand, warning him not to divert the topic.
"Okay, okay, sorry, Professor. Alan Harris continues to fly with the ball. If Alan is King Arthur of England, then he does not have Knights of the Round Table like Lancelot, Gawain, and Grahead. Go forward bravely, do you want to be a lone hero by yourself?" Jordan, stroking his waist, was obviously not optimistic about Allen's strategy of flying alone with the ball, "With all due respect, Quidditch is a sport that requires the cooperation of teammates..."
Captain Roger, who was transferred to the batter's position, angrily hit the Bludger that hit Allen with his bat again: "Who said Allen has no teammates?"
Ravenclaw's other two Chasers were stretched wide apart, and the two Batsmen were also desperately holding down the Hufflepuff players, creating a favorable singles attacking environment for Allen, which is what they were. Part of the tactic is to allow Allen to reunite and use the advantage of the broom to play his flying skills-let Allen break through first to disrupt the opponent, and if he is pulled away like this, then he will use his personal ability to break through the opponent in front of him, Even without the broom advantage, it is very difficult to guard him in one-on-one situations, and if the opponent gives up marking his target and double-teams Allen, Allen, who has excellent body control ability, can accurately pass the ball to let the opponent The open player completes the attack.
"Wow, if Roger's shot was hit higher, it could fly directly into the hat of the Frenchman across the sea." Jordan shouted, as if he didn't know that the opponent was irritated by his words.
"Allen just made a change of direction and broke through the interference defense of Hufflepuff No. 8 Chaser Kobe Bryant from the right. He stretched so much! Now he only has the goalkeeper in front of him, and he rushed to the leftmost ring !gooooal!go! The ball went in, Allen tricked the goalkeeper over and then used the broom to make an emergency stop at high speed and threw the ball into the rightmost basket! The youngest chaser in a century——Alan · Harris scored the first goal of the game." Along with Jordan's excited commentary, there were huge cheers from the Ravenclaw stands.
But this was the first goal, and the Hufflepuffs were not at all discouraged. They quickly passed the ball to the chaser Kobe, and launched an attack before Allen returned. Their formation at this time seemed to be A triangle, aggressively turning the ball between three Chasers,
Attack on Ravenclaw's positions.
Roger, the captain of Ravenclaw, quickly organized the interception, but because the overall style of the game was soft and Ravenclaw, who was a little afraid of physical confrontation, was not good at defense, so their defense did not play a big role. He was almost pushed by the opponent not far from his own ball ring.
"Hufflepuff's triangle is very effective. It's close, close, and Ravenclaw seems to be helpless about it." Along with the commentary, all Ravenclaw's hearts tugged.
"Hey, it's Alan, Alan came back with unbelievable speed... a gamble steal! He got the Quaffle from Hufflepuff No. 5 Robert Horry...Jordan was shocked, he didn't Seeing clearly how Allen intercepted the ball in Daniel's hand, "Merlin, he didn't wait for his teammates, and directly launched a fast break with the broom! Hufflepuff couldn't come back, and Allen once again gave himself the opportunity to face only the opposing goalkeeper-to no one's surprise, Allen scored another fast break! "
"It's a smart move. Since Aaron Harris is only a first-year student, he is obviously the shortest of all the male players on the field, but he is smart enough not to make too much physical contact with the opponent when defending. Taking advantage of my agility and broom speed..."
The game continued for a while after that.
"Hufflepuff's goalkeeper James can block Ravenclaw once and block Ravenclaw twice, but he can't stop Ravenclaw always shooting!" Jordan lamented, "This kind of breakthrough ability makes He Chippaqi has no choice but to switch to a man-to-man defensive tactic, even if No. 8 Kobe, who is good at defending and who sometimes violates the curfew to go to extra training at 4 o'clock in the morning, is allowed to stare at Allen, the result will be completely defenseless Hold him! He allowed Allen to score 30 points in three possessions, and if they only went to the zone defense, Allen could always throw the ball through the gap. Ravenclaws scored one after another with this simple combination Hufflepuff, who has always been gentle, almost turned into an angry pit bull, being controlled by Ravenclaw and flying around, but he never knew how to resist Ravenclaw's attack-although Ravenclaw's The defense is relatively poor, but the offense surpasses the opponent too much, and the points are gradually opened up under mutual offense.
Now Hufflepuff's only chance may lie with their house hero, Seeker Cedric Diggory. As long as he can catch the Snitch, victory will belong to Hufflepuff.
As the competition continued fiercely, Professor McGonagall subconsciously stabbed Jordan in the back with his magic wand.
"Now it's Kobe... ouch, Professor McGonagall, I didn't say anything nonsense!"
"Sorry, Jordan, it's easy." Professor McGonagall maintained his serious expression and maintained a decent look, but his ears were slightly rosier.
Professor Flitwick, who was not far from her, watched the black boy's startled reaction after being stabbed... and couldn't help feeling a little itchy.
"Haven't they found the Snitch?" Helplessly, Jordan turned his head and continued to observe the game, but couldn't help but stare at his dean with a bit of vigilance with his small round eyes.
As if Lee Jordan used a divination prophecy, as soon as he finished speaking, Ravenclaw's Seeker Qiu Zhang suddenly lowered the broom and swooped towards the Ravenclaw stands.
Cedric, who was not far away, just stayed for a moment, and then followed him as if he suddenly realized—although he could immediately determine the location of the golden snitch, but after a short time after the two chased after each other, he followed the opponent's direction. The direction found the walnut-sized metal ball.
During the chase, not far in front of the two was the huge banner that the Ravenclaws cast a levitating spell on, but Qiu Zhang didn't slow down at all, and rushed straight towards the banner. Cedric, who was behind, saw that the matter was urgent, So he did not hesitate to foul and reached out to hold her, but the two of them got involved in the banner together and fell from the sky.
Qiqi in the stands exclaimed!
Professor Flitwick quickly drew out his wand, and quickly cast two shock-absorbing spells successively to slow down the falling momentum of Cho Zhang and Cedric Diggory. When they collided, they fell on the grass together with the banner and rolled several times. week.
Mrs. Hooch called a halt to the game, and the team flew down to help the two of them out of the tightly wrapped banners.
When they stood up, the stand seemed to be paused and restarted, and deafening cheers resounded throughout the stadium.
Cho Chang raised the hand holding the Golden Snitch high, and Ravenclaw won the victory with an absolute advantage! For the Academy Cup, where the total score is compared at the end, Ravenclaw's victory today gave them a big lead over other teams.
This is the case in competitive games, where the joy of one party sets off the sadness of the other party, and the extreme emotions of human beings are fully reflected and released at this moment. That's Quidditch, and that's why wizards love the game so much.
Under the command of Mrs. Hooch, the players from both sides shook hands one by one. The 90-minute match was finally over. The players on the field were busy relaxing their muscles, while Allen needed to relax his nerves. For him, muscle is not a problem.
