Nine hundred and twentieth chapters unexpected tactics
"Quidditch is still very safe, but your considerations are really unnecessary..."
In the stands of Hogwarts, Draven watched the game in the sky with interest and said casually.
"Professional competitions pursue performance advantages. There is no need to add any limiters to broomsticks. Things like impact shields are naturally good, but they are just icing on the cake and miss the point at all."
After lunch and a short break of more than half an hour, the second game of the day started immediately.
Compared to the close contest in the morning, this game was obviously much more boring.
The Hufflepuff team is almost the favorite to win the championship this semester. Their captain Cedric Diggory is now recognized as the top seeker in Hogwarts, and with Hannah Abbott joining the pursuit team
After changing the hand position, Hufflepuff has more ways to end the game - according to the Quidditch rules, if a team is knocked down by all members, it will be directly awarded a loss.
As a "temporary teammate" who had trained together, Delevingne was very aware of the terrifying aspects of that shy girl.
You know, at least a quarter of the holes in the Jurassic Quidditch field were made by Hannah.
Perhaps a team with rich experience and a tacit understanding can resist this strange style of play. For example, the two teams in the morning were able to win by pulling together, but this kind of miracle will never happen in a team composed of pure newcomers.
Draven looked at the young face under the silver-white robe in the sky and said with pity.
"This is not a confrontation of the same magnitude at all. If they all change to the latest version of Nimbus 2001, they may be able to use the speed advantage of the broom to get around, but with the Sweep series alone... failure is just a matter of time..."
"..."
Ognechka frowned and did not speak. Instead, she wrote a few lines in the notebook and handed it to her side.
"Oh, Mr. Ogg said that if 'bludger invisibility' is added to the new broom, it can reduce the risk of players being hit. The priority of these things should be the first priority - only those who survive can attack.
Chance."
Frank took the book, looked at it, coughed slightly, and said softly politely.
According to the Foundation's third-category contact rules, Muggle researchers in the "Academy City" area are not allowed to speak directly to other wizards without special approval. All conversations must be relayed by accompanying Foundation field members.
However, in the eyes of Draven and others, these became the label of a lonely and eccentric old wizard.
From the introduction to each other, to eating, and now watching the game together, this "old wizard" has not said a word to them. All the conversations are relayed by the young wizard named Frank next to him.
Of course, in the magical world, wizards with weird habits like this are not uncommon.
Generally speaking, the more capable a magic craftsman is, the more different his temper and character are from ordinary people.
Especially in extremely niche professions such as potion masters, wand craftsmen, and broomstick makers, this is an extremely common thing. In comparison, Mr. Ogg's eccentricities are not so bad.
…
On the other hand, judging from the questions at the previous dinner table, this "Sugoi Chief Technician" obviously has something.
"This... um, Mr. Ogg? You see, in most cases, players can use skills to avoid damage."
Draven turned back to look at the taciturn "old wizard", shrugged his shoulders, pointed at Ginny in the sky, who had narrowly escaped Hannah's "Quaffle Sniper" again, and chose to continue the conversation at the dinner table.
That discussion never ended.
"The Bludger misleads, the Bludger becomes invisible...these are all redundant."
"In fact, in the eyes of top Quidditch players, Bludgers are sometimes a cover. In the long history of Quidditch, there have been so many techniques for dealing with Bludgers that wizards with some flying talent simply don't know how to do it.
Hit by a Bludger."
After a slight pause for half a second, Draven's eyes fell on Hannah, who had just attacked.
"For example, look at Miss Hannah, the Chaser on the Hufflepuff team. The opponent tried to use the Bludger to contain her actions, but she had obviously noticed the opponent's actions. At this time, she only needed to move slightly to the side.
With a small body position, you can perfectly miss the Bludger. This tactical move is very common in professional Quidditch matches and is called..."
boom!
Suddenly there was a loud noise in mid-air.
Looking at the oncoming Bludger, Hannah waved it calmly.
Immediately afterwards, the shiny black Bludger flew in the direction it came from at a faster speed, forcing the two boys who were the batters of the freshman team to roll around with their broomsticks in their arms for a week and a half before they rolled around in embarrassment.
Escaped pursuit.
"...Uh, okay, this can be considered a kind of Quidditch skill."
The corner of Draven's mouth twitched, and he scratched his cheek helplessly.
After more than a month of careful preparation of the "Bloody Brunia" package, the members of the England national team can now barely hit the Bludger that has not reached the highest speed with their fists. It would be easier if they have a bat.
.
However, this kind of understatement and unarmed counterattack are currently only the skills of Miss Hannah and Coach Kaslana.
"Quidditch is very simple. Generally speaking, it means it is faster and more accurate."
Draven selectively ignored the accident just now and looked at the thoughtful "old wizard" and continued.
It’s not that he is too determined to win or lose and must win or lose in the debate.
Mainly because as the only official designated partner of the England Quidditch National Team, the parameters of [Sugoi] Broomstick Company's new generation of broomsticks have a very intuitive impact on them - whether it is a test pilot, spokesperson, debut... these
The roles are all played by Delevingne and others. For the sake of the next game, he must express his views as clearly as possible.
Obviously, the [Sugoi] broomstick company probably took this issue into consideration, and took advantage of this Hogwarts Quidditch match to specially arrange for them to meet with the broom manufacturers to communicate with each other and discuss the issues of the new generation of broomsticks.
As a professional Quidditch player, the method Delevingne is most familiar with is naturally to explain it in conjunction with the game.
"Let's take the current situation on the field as an example..."
"The Hufflepuff House team now has an absolute advantage. Hannah Abbott's sniper range can radiate from the midfield to the entire field, which means that her ball speed is equivalent to the speed of a broomstick - if Hufflepuff chooses
For Gryffindor's quick attack, they only need to move the freshman team half the distance. This is a reflection of personal strength, and it is difficult to make up for it through broom performance..."
Delevingne glanced at Ognechka, who was busy writing in a small book, and sighed helplessly.
He could understand the old man's thoughts very well. Top broomstick manufacturers always hope that they can create brooms that can easily control the game. However, it turns out that broomsticks are just broomsticks and they cannot replace people.
Impact protection, emergency braking, angle of attack limiter, bludger invisibility...
There is no doubt that [Sugoi] company obviously wants to create a multifunctional broom that transcends the times.
However, in Draven's view, they carried too many redundant ideas on that broom, at least he didn't think he would be able to use those protective measures - a month after being shot down by Elena, he
Now it has been completely transformed.
"Actually, the real possibility of breaking the game is not in the head-on confrontation, but on the seeker's side..."
Draven raised his head and looked at Cedric Diggory, who was hovering in the sky.
