Chapter 49: The Bladder Ball Game

Hugo and Will circled around the pole erected high in the playground, constantly adjusting their bodies, trying to adapt to the broomstick and keep themselves from falling off, and after a while Hugo felt that he had begun to become familiar with the broom, which seemed to be a little easier than expected, and then couldn't help but look in Will's direction.

I saw Will staring at his broom with a serious and careful expression, his mind was very concentrated, and there was a feeling that he had forgotten everything except the flying broomstick, although his body looked stiff, but it was magically stable on the broom, which was better than Hugo's performance that day!

Obviously, he himself was also quite excited about this result, and a little bit of his eyebrows danced, and the speed of the two little wizards gradually increased, and then tragedy happened, Will fell off the broomstick again, and the stability of the school's broomstick was still too poor, and it took a certain level of proficiency to be able to better control these cunning broomsticks.

However, a small accident could not dampen the enthusiasm of Brother Tugou, and the two of them finally finished the morning workout sweatingly, ate a lunch in a hurry, and then returned to the dormitory to rest for a while and prepared to participate in the bladderball competition in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Hugo and Will had just come out of the dormitory and arrived in the common room to find Helena already sitting on a chair, and Hugo saw her combing her hair and her cheeks twitched, apparently thinking of something bad.

A group of Ravenclaw little wizards left the common room and went out of the castle to the venue of the game, and soon the wizards of the other houses on the way, most of them gathered together in twos and threes, and moved in one direction, at this time the magical Rosaline appeared in Hugo's field of vision, the Slytherin snake fanatic gathered a few little girls around him, each holding a long horn in his hand, and linen rolled together I don't know what it was for, full of confidence, Enthusiastically walked in front of Hugo's eyes, and when he saw Hugo, he shouted at the same time: "The snake team will win!!" frightened Hugo, and then they jumped and walked away in style. . .

Sick what spurred these stupid girls!!

All the Ravenclaws showed a look of disdain, following the Snake fanatics towards the court, but this kind of 'enthusiastic' fans are obviously not a few, more and more Slytherin and Hufflepuffs are competing with each other on the way, obviously the game is not only played in the field, the cheerleaders on both sides have already had the first wave of exchanges outside the field, don't underestimate the role of the cheerleaders, they still have a very big impact on the momentum of the players on the field.

Hugo and the others walked through the crowd that began to become crowded into the arena, and came to a relatively relaxed area, surrounded by mostly Ravenclaw students, and it was obvious that this was a Ravenclaw viewing platform.

It looked like it was going to be some time before the game started, and everyone was sitting in their chairs and making a lot of noise, when Helena whispered to Hugo, "Do you know what Melinda is doing?

Hugo's face was impassive, and he said nonchalantly: "I don't know, I haven't seen her either, why do you ask this?"

"I asked her to help me return the book to Mr. Bagman, I don't know if she has returned it," Helena looked a little disturbed, muttering quietly as she rubbed her own hair.

Hugo lowered his eyelids slightly, and thought to himself: Don't worry, she has already returned the book!

The time for small talk did not last long, and soon the arena changed, and on both sides of the arena suddenly rose two huge columns, about half a meter in diameter and 50 feet above the ground, and at the top of the columns were two huge ' Balloons', of course, the things on top of these cylinders are not real balloons, but the bladder of the fire dragon filled with gas, the surface of these two dark red huge spheres are tendons, like blood vessels entangled on the surface of the bladder, after inflating it with magic, its skin looks a little weird and transparent, and it feels very punctured, but in fact, it is not.

There is a very elastic membrane on the surface of the bladder, this membrane can effectively slide away from the external impact, so as to protect the bladder itself, if your personal operation is not good, then it is very likely to hit this membrane and then be bounced open, can not effectively cause damage to the bladder, must ensure that the force of the collision is not removed by this membrane at the time of impact, which has high requirements for the player to control the broomstick.

So since it is a bladder ball game, how can it be regarded as the final victory? In fact, it is also very simple, all the players on both sides must install a uniformly issued ramming angle on the tip of the flying broomstick, although this colluding angle is not a magic weapon, but it is not an ordinary object can block it, and the players on both sides can pierce the fire dragon bladder guarded by the other party first, then it is considered a victory.

Each team has a member of the team who guards the bladder of the fire dragon, he is tied to a long rope and a cylinder tied around his waist, and he cannot leave the range of the length of the rope, just like a goalkeeper, these two guard guards are wearing strong armor and helmets, although they are very bulky but the protection is very strong, and the other team members have to try their best to break through the defense on the opposite side, and pierce the fire dragon's bladder with the bumper on the broomstick。

Around the two huge bladders, a variety of tactics have been developed, from the earliest rampage that relied on individual physical fitness, to the team formation in a tight formation to force the formation, and then to the division of labor and cooperation between the defensive and offensive players, relying on speed, strength, tactics and other means to win, making this game the hottest team sport, and the four lords are also deliberately cultivating the competitiveness of the little wizards and the trust between each other, which has made the sport have made great progress.

Overall, this kind of game gives Hugo a feeling like playing football in later generations, but each pair has only seven players, except for one bollard, the other six players can be roughly divided into three offensive players and three defenders, of course, according to the different situations of each team, the offensive players and defenders are not fixed, just like once Gryffindor actually used the extreme play of 5 offensive players and 1 defender, and unexpectedly defeated the defending champion of that session and successfully reached the top!

And due to the large number of people, when the team members on the field complete a wonderful cooperation, the visual enjoyment and mental pleasure are more than the duel of the air knights, which is also the unique charm of this sport!
