97. Equipment crushing (third change)
"Please get on a broomstick!" Mrs. Hodge said loudly.
The Slytherin and Gryffindor players immediately adjusted their positions.
"Toot!"
With a whistle from Mrs. Hodge, the Quidditch match officially begins!
The game had just begun, and the two sides entered into a fierce confrontation.
The first to grab the Quaffle was Gryffindor's chaser, Angelina Johnson, a good-looking female player, whose performance immediately caused cheers from the audience.
Angelina Johnson's mount is a brand new Sweeping Seven, and the Gryffindors seem to be keen on "sweeping" the company's broomsticks, and over the Quidditch pitch, the beautiful Angelina transforms into a red lightning bolt and finally passes the Quidditch ball towards her teammate Alia.
It's a pity that her pass failed.
Slytherin's captain, a good chaser (and possibly even the best chaser in all of Hogwarts), Marcus Flint cuts the ball.
Marcus Flint seems to have some giant blood, and although his stature is not as big as that of the stout Hagrid, he is already over 2 meters.
The characteristics of long hands and feet gave Marcus a natural advantage in chasing the Quaffle, and Angelina, who was robbed of the ball, beat her chest angrily.
"Now is not the time to sulk, Angelina! You have to get the Quaffle back! Commentator Jordan said loudly.
Angelina woke up from a dream after hearing these words and rejoined the game.
Slytherin's Marcus was flying with the Quaffle, and his speed made it difficult for the Gryffindors to stop.
"Catch up with him! Catch up with him! Gryffindor's captain, goalkeeper Oliver Wood, commanded loudly.
The goalkeeper is a team's last line of defense and the command tower that directs the defense, and when Marcus bursts forward with the ball, Wood is not panicked and calmly strategizes - because he sees Marcus riding a Comet 180, which he remembers to have a top speed of no more than 80 miles per hour.
Gryffindor's teammates, chasers Angelina and Alya, both have new brooms in the Sweep series, and their brooms can break 100 mph at a speed.
Professor McGonagall in the stands was not worried about Marcus's attack, as Gryffindor's defensive formation was already in place - Angelina and Arya were flanked by Angelina and Alia, slowing down the enemy through constant collisions and interferences, and then the last chaser, Katie Bale, snatched the Quaffle head-on.
This is known in Quidditch terminology as the "Parkin pincer tactic" and is one of Gryffindor's best defensive techniques.
Moreover, Professor McGonagall noticed Marcus' mount, Comet 180, and she knew that Marcus would never be able to escape the pursuit with this equipment.
"Clamp him! Girls, clamp him! Don't let him break through! Professor McGonagall exclaimed.
Professor Snape, on the other side, was worried.
"Oh, the Gryffindor chasers are equipped with the Sweep set, and they're so fast, Marcus is going to suffer at this point." Snape frowned, "Looks like it's time to equip the kids with some good broomsticks next year." ”
"Professor Snape, don't worry too much." At this time, Luo Xiu, who was sitting below Snape, smiled and said, "Our broomsticks are not bad. ”
"Comet 180?" Professor Snape asked curiously, "But the ultimate speed of this broomstick doesn't seem to be as fast as the latest Sweep series......"
However, before Snape could finish speaking, Marcus in the field suddenly exerted force.
The Comet 180 he was riding accelerated abruptly and disappeared as a comet!
Originally, the Gryffindor players on both sides, Arya and Angelina, were ready to wrap up, but Marcus got out of the two lightly, causing the two to collide.
Boom!
The two girls collided and almost fell off the broomstick and caused an accident.
And the Gryffindor defender Katie Bale, who was facing head-on, was even more caught off guard and was easily shaken by Marcus.
"This ...... How is this possible? Professor McGonagall couldn't believe his eyes, Comet 180 shouldn't have been so fast.
Even Snape was dumbfounded, and asked Rosho in a low voice, "What the hell is going on?" Why is Marcus so fast? ”
"I've done a little bit of a twist to Slytherin's broomstick." Luo Xiu said with a smile.
"Transformation? You actually modified the broomstick without permission? Snape said in a deep voice, "The process of making broomsticks is quite complicated, and you are not afraid of causing accidents by modifying them without permission?" ”
However, before the words fell, Slytherin had already scored!
Marcus dribbled the ball at high speed, the Quaffle crashed straight into the gate guarded by Gryffindor captain Wood, Mrs. Hodge's silver whistle blew, and Slytherin scored 10 points!
"Oh! Well done! Snape, who had been scolding Rosho a second ago, smiled briefly, waved his fists and shouted.
Luo Xiu smiled and looked at Snape, "Professor, what did you just say?" ”
Snape patted Rosho on the shoulder: "Well done, Xiu, you've perfected the broomstick!" ”
However, the Gryffindor team was puzzled, because the Comet 180 piloted by Marcus was a little weirdly fast.
"Keep an eye on Marcus! Don't let him get the ball anymore! Captain Wood roared angrily, he didn't expect to be penetrated by his opponent as soon as he opened the game.
And at this moment, the golden light in the distant sky flashed.
"Harry! It's the Golden Snitch! Wood shouted loudly, the Golden Snitch is the key to victory!
Even if Slytherin had a point lead, as long as the lead did not exceed 150 points, then Harry would take the Golden Snitch and Gryffindor would be able to win the game.
Harry Potter was immediately excited when he saw the Golden Snitch, and he flew towards the place where it appeared like a 2000 arrow.
But at the same time, Malfoy of Slytherin also saw the Golden Snitch, and he had been waiting for the little thing to appear, and he was also waiting for the opportunity to fight Harry Potter again.
Seeing that Harry had activated, Malfoy's eyes flashed, "Come on, Harry, I'm going to defeat you in front of me this time!" ”
In the stands.
Luo Xiu watched this scene with interest.
The fateful battle between Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy is much more exciting than a skirmish in flying lessons.
At this time, Professor Snape behind him asked a little nervously: "Xiu, how does the performance of your improved Comet 180 compare with that of the Light Wheel 2000?" I mean, Harry was riding a 2000 Wheel, and it was not very fast. ”
Luo Xiu smiled lightly: "Don't worry, Professor Snape, even if the light wheel series comes out in 2001, it is not the opponent of our improved Comet 180." ”
