Chapter 953: The Process of the Selection Competition
The team members and students who participated in the selection gathered in the center of the field, and Ivan, Hermione, and Colin came to the stands.
"I hope Ron won't be so nervous, he looks like he's about to faint!" Hermione said worriedly, looking at Ron in the crowd, "Angelina doesn't let him use the asterisk, it seems to have a great influence on him .”
"From a fair point of view, everyone should use the same type of broom," Ivan said.
On the advice of others, Angelina asked everyone to use the school's sweep or comet broom, and the use of the Nimbus, Firebolt and Star Reacher was not allowed.
After all, it's about picking goalkeepers, not who has a better broom.
The Firebolt and the Star Reacher can be used as Gryffindor's secret weapons, but the key is the driver's skills.
On the field, the first-grade students nervously clutched a few tattered old brooms picked out from the school warehouse, and the students of other ages probably did the same, but they seemed to be stronger, especially the six- and six-year-old brooms. The students in the seventh grade are tall and big, standing out from the crowd, and their aura is strange and scary.
Among all the people involved in the selection, Ron was probably the most nervous, his face turned slightly green.
The more people around and the louder the cheers, the more nervous he looked.
In addition, Ginny did not participate in the selection of the goalkeeper. After thinking about it, she still felt that the goalkeeper was not suitable for her at all. However, Angelina adopted Ivan's advice and recruited Ginny as a substitute. She did not want to miss such an excellent player.
She has to think about the future of the Gryffindor team, which is different from when Wood was there. After she, Alicia, Fred, and George graduate next year, the team will face reorganization. If the players are not trained early, Likely to be devastated.
Therefore, this time, the lower grade students will be the key assessment targets. Even if they are close, it doesn't matter. These substitute players can usually train with the team, and if possible, they can also play games to gain experience.
Angelina asked all the students participating in the selection to fly around the venue first to see everyone's basic skills.
Some of them flew pretty well, but some were obviously just trying to make up for it, and fell into a ball halfway through the flight.
There were also many Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students mixed in, who were angrily chased away after Angelina found out!
Among them, Ron's performance is quite satisfactory, at least he can sit firmly on the broom.
Then comes the actual selection, Angelina has all the players on the field, surrounded by three tall goalposts, she is still not happy that Harry can't come to participate in the selection of players, and she hopes to select the players. Everyone is happy with the goalkeeper.
The goalkeepers who passed the preliminary test stepped forward one by one. Angelina, Aliya, and Katie formed a triangle, each responsible for an area, and began to throw the ball into the goal. Fred and George hit the Quaffle to interfere, simulating the game time scene.
The first one to play was a 3rd grader who did a terrible job, knocked down 1 out of 10 balls, got hit by the Quaffle several times, and ended up being knocked off his broom with a bloody nose ...
He was followed by Rich Gutt, the only first-year student who made it to the final selection.
The boy looked fragile, very thin, but he could fly well and react quickly.
He is not suitable as a goalkeeper, but more suitable as a pursuer. Whenever a ball passes by, his first reaction is to dodge.
In the end, he didn't knock down a single ball, but dodged the Quaffle hit by Fred and George.
It was a big deal, Angelina considered it again and again, and finally absorbed him as a substitute.
Similar to him is a third-grade girl named Demelza Robbins. She also reacts very quickly and moves sensitively, but she never dares to use her body to catch the ball. Angelina also absorbs her as a substitute.
Also, Jeffrey Hooper, a very strong guy, comparable to Gore and Crabbe.
He knocked down nine out of ten balls, got hit twice by the Quaffle, and acted like nothing happened, which is an excellent result, if he hadn't been complaining about the weather, the field, the broom and other trivial things. If so, that would be even better.
Angelina was so annoyed by him that she reluctantly kept him in the end.
However, this guy actually said that he didn't want to be a substitute, he didn't want to waste time.
He wanted to join the team as an official player, but was directly driven away by the angry Angelina.
The next few students did not perform well.
The best performer of the show was Vicky Frobisher, Alvin's roommate, who was really good at flying. Under his control, the old-fashioned Comet almost exploded at the speed of a halo. Amid the cheers of the crowd, he perfectly avoided all the Quaffles and blocked all ten pitches.
This performance is simply impeccable, and even Wood can't perform better than him here.
Irwin couldn't see a reason not to pick him as the goalie, and so did the others, and Angelina even declared him the team's goalie on the spot.
But this guy actually said that he didn't have time, he just wanted to participate in the game, and he couldn't participate in the team's training.
Aiwen really knows Vicky very well. He has too many social activities. He has the names of all the girls in the school in his hand. He knows almost all of them. He is dating every day, with different girls, and he also introduces girlfriends to other people in the dormitory. ...
If there was a time conflict, he would certainly put Quidditch on the back burner, and would not budge.
This is unacceptable to Angelina. For players who cannot participate in team training, no matter how good they perform, what good is it?
In fact, so did his sister, Vinnie Frobisher. She is a third-year girl with short hair. She looks very cute and has perfect flying skills, but her mind is not on Quidditch at all, but all kinds of messy social activities.
She didn't have so many boyfriends, but she set up a "charm club" and put charm first.
Colin told Ivan and Hermione that the uncle of the Frobisher brothers and sisters was a professional Quidditch player and the pursuer of the Caerphili Flying Crossbow Team. He trained the two of them to play Quidditch since they were young. The main reason for being so good.
Compared with Geoffrey Hooper and the Frobisher brothers and sisters, Ron's performance is much worse.
He only hit seven out of ten balls out of six sides, but he was not hit by the Quaffle, but Ivan was not sure if it was because Fred and George were merciful. Angelina hesitated for a long time before deciding Announced to make him the team's goalkeeper.
In her words, Ron's performance is not the best, but after some training, there should be no problem.
Especially since he is the younger brother of Fred and George, and Harry's good friend, this is something that has to be considered...
