everyone loves quidditch

The team was rebuilding, and Coach Sanger decided to have a long conversation with everyone.

The twin siblings, Graf and Ulysses, were the first to be interviewed. After the two shook hands and hugged Sanger with their own concerns, Sanger was the first to regret that he should have summoned these two disciples separately. It's best to enlighten, I didn't expect to find that it was more difficult than imagined as soon as we met.

Fortunately, even though she was preoccupied, Graf still respected Sanger. Sanger asked her, "What do you think of the new season?"

Graf was a little humble at first, but when she realized that Sanger really just wanted to know her thoughts, she began to analyze mercilessly.A Ravenclaw, a Ravenclaw at the top level, from the formation of troops to the practice drill, the images on the strategy map changed repeatedly, and the structure of the Comet team emerged impressively.

"This requires a total attack and defense tactic. Since Yuli has been pushed to the batter's position, our offensive attempt should not be as thin as last season, pick and roll near the scoring zone line, and cover flying without the ball , and the hitter as the axis should be more actively involved in the offense, even... In extreme cases, the seeker can also push to the front, and the hitter can also be responsible for scoring, just like the Braga broom As long as the fleet has done, as long as we can control the possession of the ball, as long as we have a batter with excellent insight and movement, we can achieve this style of play."

Sanger stared dumbfounded at Graf talking. This goalkeeper who has always claimed to be "not very talented" has shown a super-class level in reading the game.

"As for the defense, the defense we used last season can be further deepened. I have been thinking about this problem all summer. The strategy of individual defense lies in the relationship between the 'ball' and the 'person'. Either let the 'ball' pass, Stuck the man; either let the 'man' pass and get the 'ball' stuck, the point is... this."

Graf waved his wand, effecting changes on the strategy map.

"You can name this defense, comet defense? How?"

Yuli interjected, "It looks like a zone defense."

Graf said, "It's similar, but not exactly the same. The Quidditch field is too big, and the flying speed is faster, so individual soldiers pay more attention to positioning, short pass coordination, cover and so on."

"And the scoring ability of the batsmen, Braga broom fleet, you know what I mean."

"It's not difficult to restore this style of play. The difficulty is surprise. Once other teams see your intentions, such tactics will only bring disadvantages. If possible, I hope that the 'batters score' mode only exists in the game. The most critical moment, do you understand?"

Graf was taken aback for a moment, then nodded slowly, feeling a little regretful.

The two discussed a few more words softly. Sanger regained consciousness, sighed, and waved his hand to indicate that they could go out. "Go back and discuss it first, and come to me when you have a conclusion. I think I need to make an appointment with you for a second meeting."

The next person Sanger met was Stevens, the Comets' lead hitter.

Vincent's departure made Stevens very uneasy. The Comets' promotion lineup had already fallen apart. The first thing Stevens said when he saw Sanger was, "When will the Comets plan to clean me?"

Sanger patiently told him that the team had no plans to purge him. Compared with Yuli, who became a hitter halfway through, Stevens, a batter from a professional background, has been very stable although he is quite satisfactory.

Stevens talked about his thoughts.He usually doesn't talk much. Although he has an outgoing personality, his age makes him look more stable, and he doesn't take much part in the jokes of the younger players.

Sanger asked, what do you think of the team?

Stevens talked about him left and right, does my opinion matter?Of course I want to win the championship.

Sanger said, your opinion is of course important. For the coach, the opinion of every player is very important. I need the trust of each of you to better lead the team to chase victory.Stevens, don't you trust me?

Stevens murmured, his erected defenses and vigilance gradually disintegrated. Sanger's weight to this team was simply unbreakable all the way from the Quebec League, "I still trust you, I believe you can lead us Going to win, but, the Comets right now make me uneasy."

Stevens said, "Quidditch is like a business, not a sport I like. I never knew it would be like this after being promoted to the Super League."

After Stevens went out, he met Nick Seinfeld, a well-dressed blond boy. When Stevens saw it, he reached out and touched the other person's head.

Nick said awkwardly, "Mike! Fiddled with my hair again!"

Stevens shrugged. "I'm done talking. It's up to you. I guess the coach will talk to you about the position of the Seeker for the new season. Good luck."

Of course, Coach Sanger did not talk to Nick about the positioning of the new season's seeker. For Sanger, Nick Seinfeld is one of the two most reassuring people in the team. Sanger said in the tone of a friend, "In the professional On the Quidditch field, pure Slytherins are rare."

Nick smiled. He joined the team a year later than Griffith. In his first season, he became the starting seeker and suddenly became the main force.

Nick replied, "Uncle Sanger, I have my goals, and I will try my best to fight for them before I achieve them."

The next person Sanger interviewed was Prince Phibrix, a transfer from the Tuthill Tornados this season, with the title of former Prince of the Tornados and a body of injuries.

Sanger asked, "How do you feel about the Comets compared to the Tornados?"

Prince smiled gently. Once the elegant former prince on the court smiled, he looked like an astrologer with outstanding temperament, charming and trustworthy in every gesture, "Very good. Full of ambition, but cautious in every step .”

Sanger nodded in agreement, "A very official answer."

Prince didn't take it seriously. He has been in the Super League for so many years and is used to seeing various scenes. Even though he didn't believe it before, when the team announced that he would trade him for his injuries, he finally understood "" What is the meaning of "The League of Super League is a giant Gringotts".Valuation, trading, and maximizing profits, the wizards hiding behind the scenes of various clubs are essentially the same as elves.

"For the Super League, the Comets are a young team." Sanger said slowly, "He is not comparable to the Tuthill Tornado, the latter is a behemoth, while the former is just a boat .”

Prince listened quietly.

"You are 30 years old, how many years are left in your career? What can you do with the Tuthill Tornados?" Sanger took off his glasses, and he wiped the lenses gently with a handkerchief, "30 years old You can only be a role player, competing with a group of rookies and veterans for sporadic playing time, even if you help the Tornados take the championship from the Portree Madmans, the credit is not yours."

Prince Febrix, by far one of the best Chasers in the league, smiled quietly in the face of such a blunt "insult" from Coach Sanger at the end of his career.

"So, Mr. Sanger, what can the Comets give me? It's only been in the Super League for two years, you know, two years, and the Tuthill Tornados have been around since 1520."

Sanger said, "Give you the main position, give you a stable playing time, and give you 100% trust."

Prince looked at Sanger calmly.

Sanger smiled, "Yes, the Comets have only two years of history in Quichao, but I think this is lucky for the entire team. You are not chasing history, you are making history."

Coach Sanger met with everyone on the Comets except Seven Hawker.

Hawker has been absent from training for a week. This time, Coach Sanger took the initiative to find him and still couldn't find him, so he had to call Graf, "You are the captain. When the coach is powerless, it is the captain who should step forward."

Graf found Seven Hawker and took him to watch a Muggle cartoon. The lines in the film read: Life is a train to the grave, there will be many stops on the way, and it is difficult for anyone to get to the beginning Finally, after walking with you, when the person who accompanied you wants to get off the car, even if you are reluctant to give up, you should be grateful, and then wave goodbye.

Graf wants to use this line to tell Seven that people come and go, which is normal for professional Quidditch, or for the whole life.However, Seven murmured while watching the film and understood, but bit his lip from beginning to end and did not say a word.

Sanger asked Graf to enlighten Seven, thinking that Graf's experience could inspire Seven. The big devil, Graf, understood Sanger's meaning. She stared at Seven and said to him, "I used to have a lover. , We made a marriage contract when we fell in love the most."

Hawker asked, "And then?"

Graf stood up. "And we broke up."

Graf's experience is not instructive for Hawker, and her and Tim's situation is very different from that of Hawker and Vincent.

If the coach can't figure it out, he can hand it over to the captain, and if the captain can't figure it out, he can only hand it over to the team deputy. Ulysses went to Seven Hawker in grief and indignation.

Ulysses paid a direct visit.

Hawker knew what Ulysses came to him for, he didn't ask, and confronted Ulysses silently.

Ulysses put his hands in his trouser pockets, stood in the room and watched Hawker and the owls playing in the yard. The yard was very clean, there were no broomsticks, no Quaffle, and he didn’t look like a professional crocodile at all. The yard of the strange players.

After a while, Yuli said, "Seven Hawker, don't you want to play Quidditch anymore?"

Hawker was startled, and looked up at Yuli.

Uli said, "If you don't want to play, you have to tell us in advance, we may have time to find a new Chaser before the start of next season, or..."

Yuli paused for a moment, then smiled wryly, "Maybe I still have a chance to fight back to the Chaser."

Changing the position on the field is still a hurdle in Ulysses' heart. He looks up to this hurdle every day, hoping to overcome it one day, but this time he said this sentence in front of Hawker with ease, only to realize that The hurdle that he thought was impossible to cross so quickly has unconsciously become irrelevant, and he can even talk about it calmly.

When Hocker first came to the Comets, he didn’t know why Ulysses, who seemed to have a good relationship with everyone, didn’t like to talk to him. Later, Vincent said something about Ulysses on the court. Position, regarding Ulysses' talent as a chaser, Hawker vaguely understood that it might be because of himself that Ulysses lost his position.

"I prefer the Chaser to the Batter," Ulysses said.In the past season, he became the hitter of the whole team, showing unparalleled ability on both ends of the offense and defense. Even the coach of the champion madmen, Phoebe, also said that Ulysses is an epoch-making hitter. With this positioning, he is only one step away from becoming an unprecedented superstar.

Hawker said, "You like the Chaser. But now the Chaser is me."

Yuli nodded, "It's you, but you don't participate in training now, and you don't take advice. A year ago, Sanger said you would be the 'answer' for the Comets to win the championship. I believed it, so I became a hitter. But now it may prove that even if you have outstanding talent, you may not be the 'answer'."

Hawker bit his lip, stood up and looked at Ulysses.

Ulysses also looked at Hawker, his face was expressionless, just like Graf when he was serious, "When I joined the Comets, it was still in the Queue League. I played alongside John Vincent for three years, It was only brought to the Super League. Two years ago, John told me that our next goal is the championship of the Super League.”

"That's my goal too," Hawker said loudly, "I want to lead the Comets to a championship with John."

Yuli looked at Hawker silently, Hawker suddenly realized that John had left the team, this fact swept him over instantly, and he suddenly became sad.

Ulysses couldn't continue talking to him, he realized that Graf had made a mistake in asking him to come, he could only be himself and help no one else.

When Ulysses returned home, Graf felt a low air pressure coming towards him. Hawker’s matter had not yet been resolved, and another Ulysses was lost. Graf said, “Uli, don’t make me feel I am a failed captain."

Ulysses shook his head and went upstairs in silence.
