Chapter 953: The Process of the Tryouts
The team's players and students gathered in the center of the field, and Aven, Hermione, and Colin came to the stands. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"I hope Ron isn't so nervous, he looks like he's going to faint!" Hermione said worriedly, looking at Ron in the crowd, "Angelina doesn't let him use the asterisk, it seems to have a big impact on him." ā
"From a fair point of view, people really should use the same model of broomstick. Evan said.
At the suggestion of others, Angelina asked everyone to use the school's sweep or comet broomstick, and not to use the light wheel, fire bolts, and star pickers.
After all, it's a selection of goalkeepers, not better than whom's broomstick.
Firebolts and Astral Picks can be Gryffindor's secret weapons, but it's the pilot's skill that counts.
On the field, the first-graders nervously clutched a few tattered old brooms from the school warehouse, and the other students of the other ages did the same, but they were even bigger, especially the sixth- and seventh-year students, who stood tall and stood out from the crowd and had a strange and terrifying momentum.
Of all the people involved in the selection, the most nervous was probably Ron, whose face turned slightly green.
The more onlookers and the louder the cheers, the more nervous he looked.
In addition, Ginny did not participate in the selection of the goalkeeper, she thought about it again, and still felt that the goalkeeper was not suitable for her at all, but Angelina took Aven's advice and recruited Ginny as a substitute, she did not want to miss such a good player.
She has to think about the future of the Gryffindor team, unlike when Wood was there, and next year, when she, Alia, Fred and George graduate, the team will face a reorganization, and if she doesn't develop the players sooner, it is likely to collapse.
So, this time the junior students will be the focus of the assessment, even if it doesn't matter if it's a little bit, these substitutes can usually train with the team, and if they can, they can also play games to gain experience.
Angelina asked all the students who participated in the selection to fly around the field to see their basic skills.
Some people flew well, but some people obviously came to make up the numbers, and they fell into a ball halfway through the flight.
There were also quite a few Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students mixed in, and Angelina was angry when she found out and drove away!
Among them, Ron's performance was decent, at least he could sit firmly on the broomstick.
The next step was the actual selection, Angelina had all the players on the pitch and gathered around the three high posts, still unhappy that Harry couldn't come to the selection, and she wanted to select a goalkeeper who would satisfy everyone.
The goalkeepers who passed the initial test stepped forward one by one, Angelina, Alia, and Katie formed a triangle, each responsible for a zone, and began to throw the ball into the goal, while Fred and George hit the Quaffle to interfere, simulating the scene of the game.
The first to take the field was a third-grader who had a terrible performance, knocking down only one of the ten balls, and getting hit several times by a Quaffle, before being knocked straight off his broomstick and bleeding from his nose......
Then there was Richie Gut, the only student to make it to the final selection.
The boy looked weak and very thin, but he flew well and reacted quickly.
He is not suitable for being a goalkeeper, but more suitable for chasing hands, and whenever the ball passes, his first reaction is to dodge.
In the end, he didn't save a single ball, but he dodged the Quaffle hit by Fred and George.
It was remarkable, and Angelina thought twice about it and finally recruited him as a substitute.
Similar to him is a third-year girl, Demirza Robbins, who is also very quick and agile, but she always dares to use her body to pounce on the ball, and Angelina also recruits her as a substitute.
In addition, there is Jeffrey Hooper, a very strong fellow, compared to Goyle and Crabbe.
He knocked down nine out of ten balls and was hit twice by a Quaffle, but it was like nothing happened, which was already an excellent result, and it would have been better if he hadn't been complaining about the weather, the field, the broomsticks, and all that was all that was trivial.
Angelina was annoyed enough by him, and finally reluctantly left him behind.
However, this guy actually said that he didn't want to be a substitute, and 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 have any bright spots.
The best performer in the audience was Vicky Frobischer, Aven's roommate, and he flew really well. The old-fashioned comet almost burst out with the speed of a light wheel under his control, and to the cheers of the crowd, he perfectly dodged all the Quaffles and blocked all ten pitches.
It's been a flawless performance, and even Wood wouldn't be any better than him here.
Evan didn't see a reason not to choose him as the goalkeeper, and others thought so, and Angelina even announced him as the team's goalkeeper on the spot.
But this guy actually said that he didn't have time, he just wanted to participate in the game, not the team's training.
Evan knows the wiki too well, he has too many social activities, he has the names of all the girls in the school, he knows almost all of them, he goes on dates every day, he has different girls, and he has to introduce girlfriends to other people in the dormitory......
If time had clashed, he would have put Quidditch on the back burner and would not budge at all.
This is unacceptable to Angelina, what is the use of players who can't participate in the team's training, no matter how good they are.
In fact, so did his sister Winnie Frobischer. She is a short-haired third-year girl, very cute, and her flying skills are also very perfect, but her mind is not on Quidditch at all, but on all kinds of messy social activities.
She didn't have that many boyfriends, but she set up a "charm club" and put charm first.
Colin tells Evan and Hermione that the Frobisher siblings' uncle is a professional Quidditch player and a suitor for the Caerphili Flying Crossbows, and that the two of them have been trained to play Quidditch since they were young, which is the main reason why they are doing so well.
Compared to Jeffrey Hooper and Frobischer, Ron's performance was much worse.
He only hit seven of his ten balls on six sides, but he was not hit by the Quaffle, but Evan was not sure if it was because of the mercy of Fred and George's men, and Angelina hesitated for a long time before announcing that he would be the team's goalkeeper.
In her words, Ron wasn't the best, but after some training, there should be no problem.
Especially since he is also Fred and George's younger brother and Harry's best friend, this is also something that has to be considered......
