Chapter 239 Long Pass, Fast Break, Pick-And-Roll And Running And Gunning

Although Levin acquired a large amount of the Black family collection,

But he didn't study them immediately,

Because this year's Quidditch season, Ravenclaw's game is finally here,

According to news from Tonks, the leader of the Yin Kingdom team in this World Cup, Hamish MacFarlane, will go to Hogwarts to watch Ravenclaw's next game.

If Levin wants to participate in the next Quidditch World Cup with Cirilla, he will have to perform well in the next few games.

In addition to him, Roger is also very positive about the next Quidditch match.

This was Roger's last Quidditch match before graduation. Even though Ravenclaw had won the championship for two consecutive years, he devoted almost 200% of his energy - this was what Ravenclaw's Quidditch captain wanted to do. Completed his final battle with three consecutive championships.

Everyone can see that Roger is determined to win.

He discussed tactics endlessly and organized everyone's training as if he would never get tired.

But the players soon discovered that Levin Green, who had always only regarded Quidditch as an extracurricular pastime, became serious this time.

Not only did he participate in training and become more active, he also took over the tactical planning of the Ravenclaw team.

Everyone knows that their Ravenclaw "Four Four Three" geniuses have very high IQs and are quite proficient in whatever they do.

Soon, they saw that the genius not only had Quidditch skills, but also had attainments in Quidditch tactics.

After taking over the Quidditch team tactics, Levin completely abandoned a series of fancy traditional Quidditch tactics formulated by Roger.

What is the "Transylvanian feint" where you pretend to hit the opponent's nose to confuse the opponent (as long as you don't actually hit the opponent's nose, this trick is legal);

summer

The "Wollongong Zigzag" is the Chaser's zigzag flight:

What is called "sloth rolling" is that the players hang on the broom, hold the broom handle with both hands and feet, and avoid the Bludgers;

The "Chelmundston Charge" is when the Chaser jumps on a broom and pushes the Quaffle towards the goal post;

The "starfish hang upside down" is when the goalkeeper grabs the broom handle with one hand, hooks one foot on it, and stretches his limbs to ensure that the Quaffle is blocked as much as possible.

In his opinion, these are basically personal tactical actions, most of which are technical and belong to the category of personal strength.

I can’t say it doesn’t help the actual competition, I can only say it doesn’t help much.

After all, a single skill needs to be used under specific circumstances.

In his opinion, most Quidditch games in this world place too much emphasis on individual skills and underestimate overall tactics and strategy.

This is not incorrect, because the smaller the number of people in sports, the more emphasis is placed on individual skills and tactics.

But there are seven people in Quidditch after all, so focusing only on individual skills and tactics is still too scientific.

Especially since Ravenclaw already has two core players, Levin and Cirilla. They are responsible for skills and other matters. The others can just be blue-collar tool men. There is no need to waste time practicing some unused tactics.

Therefore, after he took over the tactical training, Ravenclaw's training time was cut into two parts.

Part of it is still traditional technical and tactical training, while the other part is overall tactical training.

Levin planned several tactics for Ravenclaw in one go.

For example, in a long pass and fast break, after the goalkeeper or the chasing chaser gets the Quaffle from the opponent's shot, he will take advantage of the opponent's time to return to defense and directly pass the Quaffle to the enemy's battlefield. Levin and Cirilla will Quickly launch a fast attack.

The problem with this tactic is that the accuracy of long passes is difficult to guarantee, and offensive players may not be able to react.

But for Ravenclaw, this disadvantage is nothing. Levin and Cirilla's reaction speed, as well as the firebolts under their crotches, can ensure that they launch a fast attack in time.

As for the inaccuracy of the pass... the chaser works hard and can catch it accurately.

So goalkeeper Grant Page gave up the flashy "starfish upside down" and began to focus on practicing long passes.

Roger, the weakest of the three Chasers, also practiced with him.

Levin's second tactic is man-to-man to pick-and-roll.

That is, all players perform one-on-one man-to-man defense against the enemy, but when the chaser holding the ball is intercepted, the closest player on the team quickly changes defense to block the defender for the ball holder, making it easier to break through and attack.

The key to this tactic is to create a time difference and disrupt the enemy's rhythm through sudden defense changes.

The advantage of this tactic is that everyone can participate and it doesn't require too much skill.

After all, Beaters and Seekers can mark and screen for Chasers - as long as they don't touch the Quaffle themselves.

In addition, there are run and gun tactics, which are long-term fast-paced games that wear down the enemy through tireless flying, passing and shooting.

This tactic is also very suitable for Ravenclaw, because they have the advantage of broomsticks. The three Levins have three Firebolts, and the previous generation competition broomsticks they purchased can replace the oldest broomsticks in the team if they have Nimbus 2000 and sweep seven stars. A few brooms.

Levin's series of simple but effective tactics impressed the Ravenclaw players.

They all agreed that such tactics were most in line with Ravenclaw's wisdom.

"Let us use our wisdom to fool them around!" This was Roger's high-spirited declaration.

As a result, Ravenclaw's little wizards began to gradually give up practicing those fancy skills, and instead strengthened their practice of basic movements such as ordinary passing, sharp turns, long passes, etc., in order to surprise all enemies in the next game.

In a blink of an eye, the end of February is coming, and Ravenclaw is about to have their first game.

Before the game day, Levin contacted Onyxia and asked him to arrange for a reporter from "The Quibbler" to go to Hogwarts for an interview.

This was also a form of pressure for Hamish McFarlane, who came to watch the game.

After acquiring a majority of the shares of "The Quibbler" during the Christmas holidays, "The Quibbler" received sufficient funds and carried out a series of expansion and restructuring under the leadership of Onyxia.

In addition to the original content, additional columns such as current affairs, news, magic issues, and Quidditch have been added.

The next day, when the Ravenclaw players entered the auditorium, there was warm applause in the auditorium.

Even Hufflepuff and Slytherin students were applauding and cheering for them.

As early as Hufflepuff's Seeker, Cedric Diggory, because of the attack of the Dementors, he unconsciously captured the Golden Snitch from Harry and defeated Gryffindor.

The two houses had a falling out over Quidditch.

Most of the little lions believed that this victory was dishonorably snatched from their hands by the little badgers.

And what about Slytherins?

They wish Gryffindor... was dead!

Whenever they say this, Slytherins often have ferocious expressions and gnashing teeth, wishing they could eat a Gryffindor on the spot!

How much hatred and hate...Oh, it turns out to be Malfoy, excuse me...

The incident with the Whomping Willow was over, but it didn't mean that he didn't hold grudges against Ronald. He hated Ronald all the time, and naturally the entire Gryffindor family became mortal enemies.

Another key reason is that Levin is so popular!

Throughout Hogwarts, hundreds of young wizards have joined the Polymath Society, and the number of young wizards who have joined the core class of the Polymath Society and are taught arcane theory by Levin himself has exceeded twenty.

Now these people have understood the basic divisions of schools, and have learned a few simple and easy-to-use ring tricks.

There are often little wizards showing off their [Mage Hands] in the lounge, deliberately using it to fold a quilt in the air, pour a cup of tea, etc., and then win unanimous praise from the onlookers.

And these little wizards are often the core figures of major colleges.

Levin's control of them is basically equivalent to controlling the public opinion of Ketian College.

In response, Levin naturally became a national idol, and even the Ravenclaw Quidditch team benefited from it.

In response to being unanimously ostracized by the three houses, the Gryffindors responded by displaying Harry's Firebolt in a high-profile manner and placing it in the most conspicuous place on the dining table.

Under the leadership of Wood, a group of Gryffindors performed a series of pre-battle rituals around the Firebolt, as if they were worshiping.

Facing Ravenclaw, who had three Firebolts and two masters, Harry and his Firebolt seemed to be Gryffindor's only hope.

Therefore, they become the focus of Gryffindor discussion.

Especially Harry's good friend Ronald,

He would tell anyone who would listen about the unique feel of sitting on a Firebolt.

When someone asked him what it was like to fly a Firebolt, he would familiarly describe his experience riding a broomstick with Harry.

In his words, even if you do strenuous exercise on it, it is very safe.

As for Harry, he was explaining Wood's pre-war training:

"I don't want to put too much pressure on you, Harry, but we have to win today, understand?"

Harry nodded.

"So, during the competition, you have to work harder, and it is best to knock down the 4.8 Zhang Qiu. This is a competition, and it is inevitable to be rude, understand!"

In order to get some good results in his last season, Wood almost began to change the direction of his old rival Flint.

People will always become what they hate the most.

Harry remained silent and said nothing.

A game and a lifetime of sexual happiness...

Which one is more important between the two? There doesn’t seem to be much hesitation, right?

Harry glanced far away at the Ravenclaw table.

The atmosphere here at Ravenclaw is much more relaxed, everyone is laughing and chatting.

Levin is also discussing with Zhang Qiu how to bring out the effectiveness of the Firebolt.

"Zhang Qiu, if you can't help it, just knock Harry off the broom, you know? This is a competition!" Levin was also instilling the same concept in her.

Zhang Qiu looked up and accidentally found Harry looking at him.

The girl nodded politely, with a polite smile on her face, and whispered to Levin: "Okay!"

Harry's face turned red,

He suddenly felt that even if Zhang Qiu caught the golden snitch during the game, it would not be a big deal.

Well, Wood didn't know that the entire Gryffindor hope in his eyes was now about to become Ravenclaw's mole. .
