Chapter 662: Dogfight

Near Bournemouth, the training base of the English Quidditch national team.

Inside the Jurassic Quidditch Stadium.

Tina Scamander and Brandon Dhorn, the head coach of the national team, looked up at the figures flying above the Quidditch pitch, and from time to time there was a thunderous roar, a cry of pain and panic, and ......

The cheerful chuckle that swayed in the wind, unique to eleven or twelve-year-old girls, was as crisp and pleasant as a silver bell.

Rexey, the star chaser from the Poterry Pride team, had already fallen directly in the first attack, and although there was no danger to his life for the time being under the care of the stadium's first aid team, it was obvious that he would not be able to regain the air in a short time.

Unlike the young students on the Hogwarts campus, with the 'death' of Rexey, the other two top stars from other Quidditch League teams in the United Kingdom reacted quickly, and before Elenala, who had regained possession of the ball, could rise to the top of her attack, they used their broomsticks to quickly shuttle through the air to prevent their coordinates from being quickly locked.

In official Quidditch matches, it is not uncommon for players to use their superior arm strength to defeat opposing players by throwing Quaffles or Bludgers directly, but it is not uncommon.

To put it simply, using the ball to knock the opponent off the broom is one of the things that Quidditch rules allow.

Therefore, as official players of the Quidditch Pro League, although they are extremely shocked in their hearts, they are not ready to collapse and surrender directly - strength will indeed have a certain advantage in Quidditch matches, but it is the flying skills that really determine the victory.

After a brief shock, Planck and Draven quickly sorted out their minds, adjusted the position of the broomstick, and took the initiative to fly in the direction of Elena, the two of them were like wolves hovering around the girl, constantly looking for the angle to break the ball, and at the same time using their own flight trajectory to continuously compress Elena's flight space.

Since Brandon Doon, as head coach, did not announce the end, it means that the "confrontation" should continue.

Andβ€”

Five minutes, as long as they hold on for five minutes, they will win......

Although less than a minute had passed since the start of the game and the launch of the Quaffle.

"This kid ......"

On the edge of the field, Tina Scamander looked up, her face full of confusion.

I have to admit that Elena's previous performance was indeed too deceptive, so that she still hasn't been able to fully associate that soft and cute little sweetheart with the silver-white Quidditch queen in the sky.

"Coach Doon, she's not cheating, is she? or we're still ......."

"Cheating? This is Quidditch, ma'am. It's amazing to throw a Quaffle of this magnitude with your bare hands, but as far as I know, there are at least 10 top players in the world today who can use a bat-bat-to-wouger to achieve the same effect. ”

Brandon Doon shook his head, his eyes burning at the figures moving through the sky.

I see, is this the top Quidditch talent who is so amazing that Albus Dumbledore personally wrote to him and strongly recommended him to the British Quidditch National Team training base for summer training?

Compared to the superficial attention that Tina and the others were concerned about, he quickly noticed something else after a brief moment of surprise.

Quidditch is not a team competition in which anyone with a faster broom has more strength to win.

After countless attempts by Quidditch enthusiasts, the wizarding world has gradually developed a recognized understanding:

In the face of this aerial sport, the experience of most Muggle sports cannot be applied, because the thinking of Muggle ball games has always been limited to narrow and flat ground, unable to carry the complex and vast sky competition.

Quidditch contains such skill and technique that no Quidditch team dares to say that it has reached its limits, even to this day.

Avoiding Bludger's interference in attack and defense is a must-have for all Quidditch players.

Whether the opponent's strike is a broken arm or a near-death state, it doesn't make much difference in the fast-paced Quidditch arena.

On the international court, players who have been hit once usually do not hold out until the end of the game, and will leave the field early due to the continuous siege of the opponent.

According to the current Quidditch rules, as long as the starting list is determined, unless the Seeker "dies" violently, it is not allowed to rotate the lineup during the match, even if there is a vicious accident.

What really shocked Brandon Doon was that a minute had passed and his players were still flying around the sky, not getting out of Elena's "lock-in" as cleanly as he had imagined to be, and starting to try to fight back.

Not to mention that Elena is not facing the average Quidditch fan - including the "start-up" Rexey, they are all from the top stars of various Quidditch clubs in the UK.

In terms of the performance of the broomsticks used by both sides, there is a huge difference.

Elena's Sweep Seven Stars was certainly the pinnacle of the Sweep series, and for a long time was standard for the English Quidditch team.

But since the last few years, European professional Quidditch teams have begun to switch to the Halo series.

At this time, the Plang [5200 www.bqg5200.xyz] gram and Delevingne were using the Halo 2001 series broomsticks, which had not yet been fully marketed.

Compared to the easy-to-handle Sweeping Seven Stars, the Halo series is subversive in terms of absolute speed and altitude climb.

In today's Quidditch theory, height and speed are the two fatal elements that dominate the game.

This means not only a wider field of vision, but also unrivalled pursuit, defense, and the ability to fly higher and faster to have the initiative in the arena – the iron law of Quidditch theory and broomstick manufacturing.

However, on this very day, Brandon Doon suddenly discovered this iron law, and there seemed to be a crack.

"No! This tumbling slowdown is a trap! Oops! Draven is too fast, he's going to be locked straight on......"

Before Tina could ask a second question, Brandon Doon's exclamation suddenly sounded in her ears.

Immediately afterward, a red pillar of light crossed the sky again.

Rumble!

With a dull crash, Delevingne, a chaser from the Hornets, also fell to the ground.

"Unbelievable, what the hell happened just now!? What the hell was that way of flying away from the pursuit just now......

"Dogfight, close-quarters air combat skills. ”

Elena floated down slowly, unhurriedly pulled the Quaffle from the unconscious Draven's body, and gave the young man a healing rune to stabilize the injury, while casually explaining.

"In the defensive state, the instantaneous stall maneuver can complete the transition of attack and reception energy level...... This is a scientific theory that is not based on the very foundation of the magical world. ”

"Dog, dogfight, what is a stall maneuver?"

Brandon Doon repeated in confusion.

I don't know why, he always feels that a magical door that he has never seen before is slowly opening.

"Like two dogs fighting, chasing each other's tails, finding each other's blind spots and movement patterns, so as to complete a fatal attack. Pretty graphic, right?"

Elena shrugged her shoulders and flipped the blood-dripping Quaffle in her hand to reveal a sweet and lovely smile.

"As for the stall maneuver, it's a bit complicated, if you're interested, I can explain the air superiority theory to you in detail later. Only, please wait for me for another minute, and I'll go and finish the last crash first......"

"Wait!

Before Elena could rise again, Planck, who looked burly and muscular, quickly descended from the sky and waved his hands in a panic.

"I give up, I abstain! ”
