everyone loves quidditch

Chapter 19

The playoffs of the 06-07 season were anticlimactic. In the semifinals, the Madmen met the defending champion Puddlemere United, and the Itenol Comets faced the Tornados.

The two series were played brilliantly, and the live commentator threw away the microphone several times excitedly, jumped on the commentary booth with his hair and shouted.

"The opponents in the final match are—Madman and Comet!!!"

Back then, the Comets won three consecutive championships against the Madmen. Now everyone thinks that this is the revenge of the Madmen, but they did not expect that the first game of the finals would determine the direction of the entire game. ——Clin Bu Ray bumped into Comets defender Blake during a frontcourt attack. In view of the league's strict regulations on defensive actions, Blake backed away in order not to take a foul, but it happened that Colin Bray lost Balanced, fell straight to the ground.

At that time, the height was about 40 feet, and Colin Bray, who fell to the ground, was directly carried off the field, and Blake was shown a black flag and sent off.

Black murmured at a loss. Although Graf raised objections to the referee, the referee on duty refused to change the verdict. Although the Comets lost their one-man battle, although they adjusted their tactics in time and focused on the Golden Snitch, they could not stop the Madmen from advancing. In the footsteps of the team, they lost the first game by a big score.

In the 54-minute game, only 8 minutes were actually played. No.18 minutes, Colin Bray was carried down, and the Comets were sent off with a black flag. After 10 minutes, the Comets replaced all the substitutes. Abandoned the game.

After losing one game, in exchange for Colin Bray being reimbursed for all the remaining games, even Graf couldn't hold back his poker face, with a regretful and funny expression on his face, "Blake's lucky value is really...unspeakable .”

Black cried bitterly while hugging Ulysses, "Deputy team, the captain taunted me, woo woo woo."

Yuli has played in Kuichao for many years, and he is no longer the shy boy he was back then, but his sincerity has not diminished in the slightest. "It's a pity...the Mad Men team without Clint Bray is not a first-class team."

The finals were uneventful, and even Graf himself didn't expect that this series would be so easy—the last round against the Tornados, they played all seven games and narrowly advanced.

In the fifth game, the Comets played with a big score of 3 to 1. Clint Bray was expressionless on the bench of the Madmen. Graf felt a little sad for a moment. Is the end of every professional player like this? , no matter how much glory he had achieved at the peak, he would just sit there at the end and watch a game that he was powerless to change the ending.

Comets win, [-]th title!

Ulysses was delighted, the back pain forgotten, and they raved about holding the championship trophy in the shipwreck bar, so loud that neither could hear what the other was saying.

Graf had a rare drink of butterbeer. Her cheeks were flushed, but she sat quietly, her eyes sparkling.Yuli stepped in front of her. Although the bar was very noisy, no one dared to make trouble in front of the big devil Graf.

"Graf! Four crowns!" Yuli leaned on Graf and shouted, "Four! Crowns!"

"I know." Graf laughed a lot after the All-Star Game, "I have something to tell you, and you will be the first one to tell me after I make a decision."

"What's the matter? Is it a good thing?" Yuli smiled, then cast a suggestive glance at Nick Seinfeld.

Graf nodded, "Yes."

Yuli thought the bar was too noisy, so he pushed Graf out. The teammates in the bar chased and shouted after seeing them slipping away. Yuli didn't forget to slam the door shut, saying that he would be back soon , you all be quiet, don't make trouble.

The captain and team deputy have never lied to anyone. They said they would come back right away.

The team members decided to let them go, and went back to continue drinking and making noise.

It was getting dark outside, and Yuli followed Graf quietly by the lake in the backyard of the Broken Boat Bar.

Yuli drank a lot of wine and was still smiling, "Did Nick propose to you in front of Merlin?"

Graf said, "Come on."

Yuli said, "What else is there to do? Let me guess...uh..."

Graf said, "Don't guess, you can't guess."

"Is there anything else I can't guess about you? Just raise your eyebrows in front of the door, and I'll know where you want me to defend."

"Ulysses." Graf stood up straight, with a smile on his face, but a serious face, "I'm going to retire."

Yuli seemed to have been pressed the pause button, he paused, and it took a long time to find his voice.

"What did you say?"

"I'm going to retire." Graf said, speaking slowly this time, every syllable was very clear, "I'm going to retire, the European Cup is my last battle, no matter what the outcome is, I'm going to retire."

Yuli stopped talking, and his face became serious, just like Graf in the past.

"I originally planned to tell you after the European Cup, but Nick has already guessed my plan, and Coach Sanger has also vaguely sensed it. I don't want you to be kept in the dark in the end." Graf said very frankly. The words hit Ulysses' heart, "I have been flying for 11 years. In these 11 years, I have won two Quebec Championships, four Quebec Championships, won the European Championship, been selected as an All-Star, and entered the league. The first team, the best defensive team, for me, I have no regrets, and Nick, he waited too long for me."

Graf looked up at the sky, Yuli's eyes were red.

Yuli Ninja didn't blink, he felt that he might shed tears if he blinked, he was angry and sad, he hesitated for a long time and said, "I don't want you to retire."

"Actually, if it is possible, I hope you will retire too." Graf looked at Yuli, "I am very aware of your back injury, and Weiwei told me safely, but... I know you will not retire, not only Because of you at the top, but because of Seven Hawker."

"But I'm different. The time given to me by Quidditch is up, and I can't adapt to the current rhythm of offense and defense. Moreover, Nick has no time to stay on the field anymore. He has to inherit the family business, marry the mistress, and inherit Seyfield The glory of the family. And I want to be with him."

"So, Yuli, let me retire." Graf said lightly.

Neither of them spoke, the night breeze was quiet, and Graf waited patiently and cruelly.

Ulysses' whole body was stiff, he felt the chill from his heart invade his whole body, even the pain in his back became severe, but he still stood there like a flag.Growing up, Yuli had listened to everything Graf said, and now, Graf told herself, she wanted to land.

"Graf, you are the captain of the Comets."

"I'm."

"Always will be."

"Always will be."

"Graf..."

"kindness."

Yuli took a breath, feeling that the softest part of his heart had been poked, and he said softly, "You retire."

Graf Griffiths, captain of the Itenor Comets, has announced his retirement after the European Cup.

Although there was no public announcement, everyone in the Comet team knew about it. Sanger wiped his glasses and slowly said this decision, and the whole team was shocked and speechless.

"Kate Lola." Sanger looked at Graf's hand-picked successor, and handed over the yellow jersey representing the main force, "From today onwards, you will train with the main force."

"Finally." Sanger dragged out the syllable, "The final goal of this season is to win the European Cup."

The European Cup, oh yes, and the Fratcha Eagles. Last year, the Boport brothers moved to Fratza. Ulysses said, I haven't forgotten the attack of Villa in the previous World Cup.

Graf said yes, yes, I heard that they are good at using black magic, I will go meet them.

The European Cup follows the rules of the World Championships. Under the World Championships system, the defensive strength is much greater than that of the All-England Championships. The Comets once made their opponents fearful. The defensive system reappeared on the European stage and reached the semi-finals with a crushing momentum.

In the semi-final against the Fratza Eagles, before the game Victor came to say hello with a smile. Graf, with eyes on the top of his head, passed by without saying a word, and stopped right above the goal in the middle.Yuli felt a little funny, but also a little sad. This was Graf's penultimate game, and she was going to retire soon.

Vera Beauport and Sura Beauport, three years later, are still as dirty as ever, they know Ulysses is seriously injured, the defense is all about Uly, every time they hit the Quaffle They all greeted Yuli.

Is Graf Griffith Vegetarian?Back then in the Queer League, he was known as the Great Demon King. Silent spells were superimposed on wandless magic. Graf, who knew all kinds of referees' blind spots, said the Great Demon King, Quidditch is not my specialty, but magic is just the opposite.

280 to 180, and Fratza, who has the strongest seeker in Europe, Victor, could not stop the Comets from advancing. They fell at the feet of the Comets for the second time, and the Beauport brothers with bruised noses and swollen faces left the field sadly.

Graf continued to be provocative, "Hey, if you hit me so dirty next time..." Hehe, see you off the court.

"Don't worry, the European Championship is ours," Yuli said.

Before the final, Yuli suddenly thought of the Academy Cup final.Hogwarts has always been at a disadvantage in Quidditch. The house cup held every four years has never entered the top [-], but that year there were Yuli, Graf, Nick, and Rebecca... Some of them continued to play Quidditch, and some of them really stopped playing after this game.

That year, Hogwarts went all the way to the final, and after four and a half hours of finals, they won the championship trophy.When Ulysses hit the game-winning shot that year, Graf asked him what he was thinking when he shot that shot, and he said, "Don't worry, every goal goes in, and this one is no exception. "

The comet team marched towards the flight exit, and Graf was at the head of the team as the captain.

"Seeker."

Nick, "Get in."

"The batter."

Yuli and Stevens, "Get in place."

"Chaser."

Seven, Black, Joseph, "Get in."

Graf stretched out his hand and made a forward gesture, "Comets, let's go."

There was a tsunami in the audience, and the defending champion Itanol Comet team galloped out.
