everyone loves quidditch

Chapter 18

The 06-07 season was thrilling. The Comets abandoned the half-field position they had played for so many years and started running and bombing. Ulysses, who was originally the offensive and defensive hub near the center circle, moved five flying bodies to the frontcourt. For a while, the comet team's fast break style of play was even more dazzling than the artillery team's three fast cannons.

Yuli said, "If you leave such a big back door, our defense will be sieved."

The average conceded goal rate broke through Graf's career high. Although the Comets are still winning, the criticism of Graf's decline is coming. The "Quidditch Daily" opens a page every day to spray Graf in different ways .

"I'm not famous for my ability to save individual soldiers." Graf didn't take it seriously, "I have already considered this situation when I pushed you to the frontcourt. There is no way to lose the entire defense line. Conceding goals like before."

"Let Nick participate in the defense?"

"Forget it, after the rules limit the speed limit, Nick lost his advantage, let him focus on the Golden Snitch." Graf rejected Yuli's suggestion, "In short, as long as we can win, nothing else matters. There will be the European Cup next year, and our goal is to defend the title."

Yuli sighed, "Then... what about Kate Lola?"

Graf stopped Yuli from talking, "It's good to be ambitious."

The votes for the All-Star Weekend were announced, and Graf was unsurprisingly lost.

For the first time since the Comets gained a firm foothold in Quichao, Graf lost the starting qualification of the All-Star. In view of the particularity of the goalkeeper position, usually when the head coach handed over the replacement list, he would not consider putting an extra goalkeeper on it. .

Graf accepted the result calmly, "However, I hope you lose the election."

Yuli was stunned, the potion in his hand shook slightly, and then stabilized, "What are you talking about?"

Graf said, "It's a pity, it's a rare weekend to rest, and you have to learn from Kent Stosur, who always 'just' got 'injured' before the All-Star Game."

Yuli was speechless, "Why don't I get injured in tomorrow's game?"

Graf, "..."

This All-Star Weekend was held at the home court of the Montrose Magpies. Seven Hawker only played in the main game on Sunday. He wanted to arrive at the game site on Saturday night, but Captain Graf told him that Uli would go on Thursday. Montrose is gone.

"Yuli left so early?"

"Yes." Graf replied naturally, "Marbury Sean asked him to go over early."

Mabry Sean?

The former main chaser of the Comets moved to the Montrose Magpies in the first year when the Comets were promoted to the Super League. Seven is not very familiar with him, but Yuli cooperated very well with him in the frontcourt. .

Oh yes, back then Ulysses was still a Chaser.

When Seven arrived in Montrose, he was shocked by the black magpies that covered the sky. The All-Star Weekend was huge, and the Magpies also came out in time to show their presence at home. Contact Ulysses.

"Aren't you going to arrive tomorrow night?" Yuli asked through the double-sided mirror. Marbury on the side leaned over to make a face, and was pushed away by Yuli amused.

"I have nothing else to do, I just want to come here early." Seven replied, "Where are you?"

"Playing Quidditch."

Marbury leaned over, "Yuli, you will be on my team for a while, I haven't cooperated with you for a long time, and we will compare who will score more."

"What about your team spirit?" Yuli gave him a disdainful look, "It really hasn't changed at all."

Marbury laughed exaggeratedly and fell to the ground, this psycho is still the same as before, Yuli thought so.

When Seven followed the magic imprint sent by Yuli to find this field, Yuli and the others had already been playing for a while.Marbury split the ball in the backcourt, Yuli slipped in from the sideline, and another chaser made a pick-and-roll for him in time, Yuli threw off the opponent's defender and rushed to the left goal. The speed was not fast, but Very precise, and then he raised his hand and fired the ball into the goal.

"nice shot!"

Marbury rushed over and pressed Yuli's head. He used to like this when he was in the Comet, "It's beautiful, it's a pity that you don't want to be a chaser."

At the end of the game, Yuli's team lost the game. Although the offensive end was very smooth and beautiful, the opponent's seeker was even better. They caught the Golden Snitch with almost zero defensive pressure and ended the game .

Marbury landed on the ground following Yuli, chattering endlessly.

"I said that your speed has dropped a lot. You didn't play seriously today, or you are still injured. Can you do it?"

The word "injured" made Yuli's heart tense, and Ravenclaw's black belly was reflected. He said without changing his face, "I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up, so you're flying with the rhythm."

Marbury laughed angrily, and was speechless for a long time. Finally, he took out the pipe embarrassingly, lit it up, took a puff, and exhaled a smoke ring.

"Hey, it's been many years."

Yuli quickly answered, "Why, do you regret leaving the Comets?"

The "omnipotent" Michelle tried his best to persuade Ulysses to leave the comet. In his eyes—including in the eyes of Sean, Edward, and Reed—the Itenor Comet team was not good enough. They have the appearance of a championship team, so after the setback in the first year of Kuichao, they left here one after another.

But later, at least Michelle regretted it.

Marbury never said this to Ulysses, and Yuli also realized that he had said something wrong, but the other party just looked at him calmly, "Youli, people have to be responsible for their own choices."

Sunday night, the All-Star Game.

Nick Seinfeld booked the VIP box at the best location on the field, and Graf followed the magic mark all the way up the stairs and met Tim Poynter just before reaching the box.

The young Seeker was wearing a navy blue wizard robe, with a golden captain's badge pinned on his collar. Graf walked up to him and was taken aback for a moment.

Before Graf signaled to excuse him, Tim made way for the aisle, and made a very gentlemanly "please" gesture, his eyes were bright, as if the two met for the first time at the prom.

In the early years when Graf was in the Queer League, the two could not see each other, so naturally there was no intersection. The resentment between the Griffiths and siblings was not a matter of space, so naturally no one talked too much.

Later, the Itenol Comet team was promoted to the Super League, and they seemed to be in the same league, but they played four regular season games in a season. If they were lucky, they would meet in the playoffs, ranging from four games to seven games. There are almost no other intersections. The so-called grievances have been separated for a long time, and the two parties...at least Graf has been too lazy to mention it.

But today, Tim Poynter, who always pretended not to see each other, blocked the entrance of the passageway, waiting for Graf quietly in the dark.

It was very quiet in the passage.

The magic imprint that Graf held in his hand flickered.

Tim Poynter lowered his head, as handsome and suave as he was in his youth, "Graf, do we still have a chance?"

Graf finds the question hilarious.

When she was accused by the Wizengamot and almost imprisoned in Azkaban, she asked herself why Tim Point did not hesitate to report herself to the Ministry of Magic.But then I thought about it too much and found that it was meaningless. As far as the ending is concerned, it doesn't matter what the process is.

"It's not appropriate for us to say this." Graf replied clearly, "Are you going to retire? You lost the All-Star selection, and your condition has declined?"

Pointer hummed vaguely, "Graf, my father wants me to get married this year, but I think..."

Graf interrupted, "Congratulations." Her gaze passed through Pointer and landed on Nick Seinfeld behind him.

"Mr. Pointer." Slytherin's smirk piled on his face, and he did all the gentleman's gimmicks, but he didn't even give him a friendly handshake. "You are blocking the way of my captain."

Because of this episode, the two were less interested in watching the All-Star Game, and Seven and Ulysses were divided into two teams. The last time this happened was in 2003, when Yuli's defensive right was blocked by Seven fancy slings, but this year Ulysses only played 5 minutes.

In 5 minutes, he touched the Quaffle twice, made a beautiful interception, and then was replaced to watch Clin Bray and Seven Hawker fight wildly.

The All-Star games in the past two years have basically been played in this way. The two greatest modern Chasers are playing in full swing. The audience and other players on the field have become supporting roles. It depends on how they perform. Graf Last year, I made a complaint when I was guarding the goal. The general idea was: stop arguing, and give each of them an MVP before the next game before starting the game.

After watching for a while, the two were evenly matched.

Graf suddenly said, "Clin Bradley is 36 years old, and his condition has not declined significantly. He is really a terrible opponent."

Nick nodded, "Prince is two months younger than Bree, but he obviously can't keep up defensively. It's probably... just a year or two."

Nick was talking about Prince's retirement.

When Vincent was traded back then, the Comets exchanged a large sum of Galleons. In the blink of an eye, they fell in love with Prince Phibrix in the transfer market. After two years of working together, they won a three-peat championship.

Graf asked, "Nick, how much longer can you fly?"

Nick replied, "My father and I set the time limit at 35 years old, and there are more than four years left."

Graf said, "I have heard that Earl Seinfeld is not in good health."

"..." Nick was slightly silent, and then gave an affirmative answer, "Yes."

Graf laughed. She suddenly lowered her head and kissed Nick on the lips. The cheers from the fans outside were deafening. They exchanged a kiss in the box, "Thank you, Nick."

Nick tried to say something, but Graf stopped him, and she looked out of the box, fourteen players were flying in the air, dragging fourteen meteors to chase the moon.

"I hope this year's European Cup champions are us, Itenor Comets."
