Chapter 68 I Thought Charlie’s Ball Skills Were Unmatched
On Saturday, the first game officially begins.
Hufflepuff versus Slytherin.
As the game time approaches, all the teachers and students of the school go to the Quidditch pitch.
The weather was not good. The sky gradually turned gray and drizzle began to fall on the heads of the students.
But everyone's enthusiasm did not diminish. Sitting in the audience, the noise became even louder, rumbling like thunder.
As usual, Lee Jordan was the commentator for this game. Before the players entered the field, he was holding a microphone to relieve everyone's boredom before the game.
"A few days ago, a violent riot occurred during a Quidditch match in Indonesia. The number of dead wizards has reached at least 153. Aurors also used disarming spells, exacerbating the chaos of the incident..."
"I hope everyone will watch the game sensibly, let alone bet on the game... Well, the Hufflepuff Quidditch team came out of the locker room!"
Li changed his voice and introduced loudly:
"The person at the forefront is Captain Truman, a veteran of Hufflepuff. This is his last year... I hope he can realize his dream."
Li introduced the team members respectively, and soon came to Luo Fu at the back.
“After Chaser Cadwallader graduated, the team made personnel changes and moved Scamander into the starting lineup.
Scamander is already a second-year player and started last year... I look forward to his outstanding performance today and kick Slytherin's ass! "
There were boos from Slytherin College, but their boos were quickly drowned out by the cheers from the other three colleges.
In order to deal with the Slytherin Quidditch team's money-making behavior, the other three houses have united to keep warm and have unanimously disclosed it to the outside world.
This "outside" is Slytherin.
Luofu carried his broom and strode towards the center of the arena. The rain was getting heavier, but when it fell on the boy's head, it seemed to hit an invisible iron plate and bounced away.
Cedric and the others were all amazed, and they all guessed that it might be the effect of a magic item, so they were not surprised.
Luofu raised his head and squinted his eyes, raised his arms high, and reached into the rain curtain, seeming to feel the hazy coolness of the drizzle.
Rove played the Seeker position last year, but this year he chose the Chaser position.
Although he has excellent flying skills, and with the modified flying broomstick, he can easily catch the Golden Snitch, but...
Rove prefers to control the ball;
as well as……
Powerful shot!
I have practiced ball skills with Charlie for several summers, and if I don’t bring my talent for hitting people... ah, playing ball to the position of chaser, I really feel sorry for the sweat left behind when fighting with Charlie.
As Slytherin's players came on the stage, Li began to introduce the players separately. He said loudly:
"Slytherin also has a new Seeker, Draco Malfoy.
Although Malfoy repeatedly claimed that he relied solely on his Quidditch talents to squeeze out Terrence Higgins' position as Seeker, no one believed it. "
Li held the microphone and said angrily:
"Terrence Higgins is very strong. He won the Quidditch Cup with the team the year before last and also reached the finals last year. There is no reason to suddenly remove him and replace him with an inexperienced second-year rookie.
What kind of champion are you Malfoy?
cjb champion? ! "
In last year's game, Li often teased Terrence Higgins for being like a slow, bulky Gaboon viper, but today he was like his best friend, fighting for him.
Even Terrence Higgins in the Slytherin audience was stunned.
Damn it, I was depressed because of you, Lee Jordan, and now I'm here to be a good guy.
However, Higgins was secretly happy. He was playing the game well, and suddenly he was substituted. Who could he ask for explanation?
Higgins wishes the Slytherin Quidditch team was dead!
Li continued to mock: "Who makes Higgins not have a school director father? We have to wonder if there is any unfair transaction in this matter..."
Professor McGonagall, holding an umbrella with a tabby cat on it, shouted loudly: "Jordan, don't talk about things that have nothing to do with the game!"
"Sorry, Professor McGonagall." Li said a little aggrievedly: "But seriously, if you are threatened by Professor Snape, just blink."
The students burst into laughter and clapped wildly.
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and did not retort. There was a helpless smile on her lips that no one noticed, but it quickly disappeared.
Malfoy couldn't help but clenched his fists after hearing Li's taunt. He looked towards the Gryffindor auditorium, looking for that figure.
"Potter, you must be watching my game too, right?"
Malfoy secretly vowed that he would catch the Golden Snitch and prove to everyone that he entered the team on his own merit and did not go through Professor Snape's back door... although he did.
"Wait for me, I will defeat Scamander first, and then kill you, Poit!" Malfoy thought in his heart.
Soon, the captains of both sides came up to shake hands. Truman and Flint both wanted to crush each other's hands.
"Listen to my whistle," Mrs. Huo Qi blew the whistle and said loudly, "Three...two...one...start!"
The crowd roared with excitement, welcoming them to take off, and the fourteen team members jumped into the sky together.
"The game begins!" Li's voice penetrated the field.
"Slytherin's players succeeded in competing for the ball with Nimbus 2001, but it was nothing to show off. The gorilla captain held the ball..."
Seeing Professor McGonagall's stern gaze, Li quickly changed his words:
"Captain Flint holds the ball...Hufflepuff adopts a flanking tactic, huh? Flint accelerated instantly and broke through the flanking attack. He is too fast..."
In the past, Flint had to rely on cover or some dirty tricks, but now he only relied on the speed of Nimbus 2001 to tear through the defense and complete the breakthrough with the Quaffle alone.
"Hufflepuff's defense was completely reduced. Flint had no chance to throw the ball, but he found Vasai, the chaser on the right, with a big gap... Hey, Summers, hurry up and save the ball..."
But Flint scored, and the Slytherin side burst into cheers.
Li cursed fiercely and said: "You filthy snake! I hope you will be sewn into the belly of a dead camel..."
Professor McGonagall tried to snatch the microphone from Li's hand, but he jumped away.
Soon, Slytherin repeated the tactics just now and scored another goal by taking advantage of the broomstick.
But they apparently ignored Rolf, whose broomstick is faster than Nimbus 2001.
Just when Flint was about to score twice, Rove accelerated. His judgment was accurate and he poked the Quaffle out with his right hand. Then he rushed forward and picked up the Quaffle for a solo fast break.
"Beautiful, a steal from Luofu!" Li immediately cheered up, waving his arms and saying:
“Slytherin attack!
But Rolf was not afraid in the face of danger;
He is so fast!
Gonna cum!
“Ahhh!
Li screamed madly:
"Rolf turned the tide, passed three people, and volleyed hard, piercing Slytherin's goal!"
"I originally thought that Charlie Weis's skills were unmatched in the world, but I didn't expect that there was someone braver than him..."
