NOVEL NEXT Chapter 328 Decapitation Tactics, Anxiety
The commentator's job is to help the audience understand the game.
McMillan is experienced, and he also sees the changes in Banad's lineup.
"Banad chose to defend, which confirms my guess that they are preparing to use the lightning decapitation tactic to attack Hogwarts."
"This is a tactic that tests the seekers very much. It was popular during the days of the Applebee's Arrows. They had the top seekers at the time, which once caused many teams to fail. Odd Ollie can Should I imitate them at that time?"
When Principal Banad heard all the tactics on his side being explained by the damn commentator there, he was so angry that he wanted to hit MacMillan with the Cruciatus Curse, shouting that this was too unfair.
Time to shut that damn commentator up.
But what they got in return was the speechless and indifferent attitude of many principals.
Stephens was startled and quickly looked at Ollie.
Ollie has absolute confidence, even if others find out, it doesn't matter.
This tactic is a duel between seekers, and outsiders cannot interfere at all.
So it can be said to be a conspiracy.
The outstanding vision of a falcon overlooks everything in the sky.
Excellent dynamic vision allows him to capture the tracks left by the movement of the Golden Snitch.
"Calm down, Stephens." Stephens quickly adjusted his breathing.
In his first match against a professional Seeker, even he would inevitably feel a little uneasy.
After realizing this, he adjusted his emotions.
Start responding with all your strength.
Not long after he adjusted, he caught a glimpse of a figure passing by from the corner of his eye.
His heart tightened, and Stephens immediately chased after him.
The score now reached 70:60, and Banad, who retreated defensively, created a goal drought for Hogwarts.
Now that the Snitch is caught, Hogwarts will lose on the spot.
Although this does not mean final defeat, it does mean that they will have to bear a 140-point deficit from the beginning.
This is very detrimental.
"Odd O'Leary discovered the Golden Snitch? No, this is..." At first, MacMillan also thought he had discovered the Golden Snitch. After taking a closer look, he exclaimed, "It's Wronski's fake move!"
The Wronsky fake is a deceptive move.
By the time Stephens found out it was too late, he had been deceived by Ollie's realistic sprint.
By the time he reacted, he was already so close to the edge of the field that it was difficult to turn back.
He lost control and flew towards the auditorium. When he was about to hit him, he used all his strength to pull the broomstick to turn.
The end of the broom left a chill in the hair of one unfortunate Gryffindor, who plummeted toward the ground.
The broom fell out of control and threw him down, causing Stephens to roll on the ground more than ten times. His clothes became covered with mud and he lay motionless on the ground.
Ms. Hooch quickly came forward to check, and Stephens struggled to get up.
He felt that there might be some cracks in his bones, and he would feel a burst of pain when he moved his arms.
"I'm fine, Ms. Hooch." Stephens said firmly, "I can continue."
He picked up the broomstick and rode on it, flying crookedly.
"You should just leave like this so you don't get called a loser."
Stephens endured the pain and said solemnly: "That is the behavior of a coward."
"I kind of admire you."
It was just a joke. As a professional golfer, Ollie had the capital to be proud of.
Once Steph experiences the intensity of a pro ball game, he becomes cautious.
Sorry, caution is never a good word among seekers.
They need to have the determination to move forward with all their might.
A trace of triumphant pride flashed in Ollie's eyes.
The game continues.
The first hour passed.
The tension didn't stop.
At the 70th minute, the Ravenclaw Chaser made a contribution.
He broke through the goal and pulled the score into a heavy step.
170:100.
Although it was not a one hundred and fifty point difference, it was able to minimize the points lost by Hogwarts at the end of the game.
That's the time.
The Golden Snitch finally appeared like a mysterious little girl.
It flaps its wings, leaving golden traces on its body.
Stephens moved.
Even faster than him is Ollie.
The game came to the first critical point.
...
"The Golden Snitch is out!"
McMillan stood up and yelled excitedly.
Is the appearance of the Golden Snitch a success or failure of the decapitation tactic?
Wood roared: "Get another goal, another goal!"
When it comes to professional players, he has to be prepared to take the most pessimistic view.
The smaller the difference in points, the better it will be for their point differential in the later stages.
Everyone in Hogwarts was also working hard, and the Slytherin beater hit the Bludger on the broom of one of the Chasers in Banad.
The Bludgers were enough to break the bones of an ordinary person, and this time the broom's tail was blown away.
The chaser's expression changed, and it looked like he was falling from the sky.
The Ravenclaw Chaser found the right opportunity and threw the ball hard. It passed through the intercepting arm of a Chaser and landed in the hands of a Gryffindor player in front of the goal in the lower right corner.
The ball went in.
The score came to 180:100.
With a point difference of 80 points, even if the Golden Snitch was defeated, it would only be 70 points.
They can definitely try to get it back in the next game.
But as a seeker, how could Stephens easily accept such an arrangement?
"We are determined to pursue glory."
Stephens pressed down on the broom to make himself go faster, and he said firmly: "Even if it's only a little bit possible."
"I'll chase the Golden Snitch too!"
His speed is getting faster and faster.
Ollie, who was flying ahead, caught a glimpse of the chasing figure from the corner of his eye, and he was startled.
Although his arm had been injured due to Wronsky's fake move, he still held the broom firmly.
Stephens was not as cautious as expected, and he did not hesitate to pursue him.
"Don't even try to catch up with me!" Ollie sped up with a cold face.
How can a professional golfer lose to an amateur like you?
If a broom collides with a broom, such a small friction will not be judged as a violation.
Ollie secretly took action. He noticed that Stephens' left hand had some sequelae due to the roll.
So during the collision, the impact was intentionally on the left hand.
His approach was so subtle that even Ms. Huo Qi couldn't find it.
"Two Seekers in pursuit, Odd O'Leary half a body ahead!"
McMillan's commentary didn't stop.
Odd Ollie used the trick of a professional golfer, tilting his body slightly so that he could suppress the opponent's speed.
Stephens was suppressed and he gritted his teeth and persisted.
"Is this a professional golfer?" Stephens intuitively felt the gap between himself and his opponent.
Even though he was the best seeker in Hogwarts, he was still suppressed when faced with strong professional ball players.
No matter how Stephens breaks through, he can't escape the fate of being suppressed.
"Give up, this is the gap between you and me."
Ollie was at ease and didn't forget to hit Stephens.
He calculated the location of the Golden Snitch and himself.
"That distance is not suitable for acceleration. Let this guy continue to maintain this speed. When the Golden Snitch is far enough away, I can take action."
Ollie plans how to capture the Golden Snitch.
Wood wished he could walk out of the goal and score a goal himself.
Banad, who was missing one man, was a good time to score points.
Hogwarts scored another goal, but the opponent was not a vegetarian either.
They quickly formed a counterattack and made a long pass, allowing the Quaffle to land on the Hogwarts position.
Then a chaser shot through the air to form a single sword.
Wood took a stance, his eyes quickly determining which goal the opponent would attack.
The Chaser's broom moved slightly to the right, and Wood immediately took action, sending the Chaser into the middle goal.
Wood was wrong.
Once again, the score was pulled back.
Wood was chagrined.
