Driving and Shooting, Unbeatable Under Heaven
William didn't know just how amazing Lee Jordan's grandmother was, but he genuinely believed she could win a championship with him.
The grandmothers of the Wizarding World are a group of beings that cannot be judged by ordinary standards.
Just look at Grandma Neville; William even suspected that several Auror wouldn't be able to get close to Mrs. Longbottom.
Professor McGonagall is also a witch of grandmotherly age.
With her skill level, even if she were to drink goji berries and maintain a healthy lifestyle while playing Quidditch, she could still lead Gryffindor to the finals!
Of course, there's also the beautiful Half-Veela Babbling... she's an even more remarkable old lady.
Just as William was momentarily distracted, Cedric spread out five fingers, signaling the Hufflepuff players to change formation.
Based on William's usual playing style, he starts by holding the ball in half-court and then taking a long-range shot... to test his touch.
It doesn't matter if we miss; if we do, we can even put pressure on the opponent's mentality... Either way, we're not at a loss.
According to the pre-match preparations, to deal with a player like William scores such spectacular goals, the strategy should be to closely mark him from the start and not give him an easy opportunity to shoot.
But when he was trash-talking just now, William revealed his strategy for the first shot.
Cedric was certain that William, that show-off, would definitely challenge him to a one-on-one duel!
At this point, the team needs to spread out completely to prevent the opponent from breaking through.
Cedric, on the other hand, stayed in the backfield.
He rode Starbrusher, the only one capable of keeping up with the Firebolt, so naturally he had to be ready to provide backup at any time.
"William appeared in the halfway line, dribbling straight towards the Hufflepuff goal... He didn't take any long-range shots, was he having a bad shooting streak?"
Li said with a puzzled expression.
"Ah, Summerby and Noah of Hufflepuff are coming!"
He introduced them as if they were his own treasures:
"As Chaser, Summerby's signature move is the 'Egg-Chasing Shadowless Kick'."
He kicked George in the groin last time, and it hurt for almost half a year. I don't know if it's healed yet.
This kind of scoundrel should be permanently banned.
And then there's Noah, who has five-centimeter fingernails and is extremely skilled at a crazy, wild scratching move...
"Li! Don't talk about things that have nothing to do with the game!" Professor McGonagall stood up and shouted impatiently.
"How can you say it's unrelated? I was just explaining Hufflepuff's dark history to everyone... Okay, I won't say anymore."
Ah, beautiful!
Li pumped his fist excitedly and said, "William used a butterfly-like maneuver to leave Summerby and Noah far behind!"
"Wow! A tricky Bludger, that's Hufflepuff's Kobe!"
William dodged to the side—a beautiful turn past Skoll —and he was face-to-face with Cedric!
"What?!" Li roared, "William held up one finger... He wants to play one-on-one?!!"
Captain against captain, Firebolt against Starbrusher... This is getting interesting!
William, holding the Quaffle, first made a breakthrough to the left... Cedric remained unmoved.
He remembered the harsh words William had just said:
"It will fly left, right, left, and back, then fake you out before shooting. Make sure you remember that!"
Cedric reached out, preparing for a beautiful tackle, and then...
And that was the end of it.
William didn't follow his instructions to feint at all; he just flew straight over.
Cedric: "..."
"Cedric was like a wooden stake, easily passed by William. What was he thinking?" Lee asked, puzzled.
"Could he be copying Bole from Slytherin and throwing the match too?"
"Oh... I see. He thought it was a feint and made a prediction, but William predicted his prediction."
I still suffered from a lack of experience.

Cedric looked annoyed and quickly returned to defense.
Before the match, he even made Noah cut his fingernails, hoping for a fair fight.
"The goalkeeper rushed forward, but William beat the Hufflepuff players as easily as crossing a street in the early morning," Lee roared.
"He scored! Ten to zero, Ravenclaw Quidditch Team takes the lead!"
Li couldn't help but exclaim, "That's the difference between star players!"
"Don't be fooled by the Hufflepuff team members' strong physiques and speed; William can break through and shoot whenever he wants."
With a combination of sudden bursts of energy, he's invincible!
William flew around one end of the pitch, his fist waving in the air; the boos from below grew louder.
But he remained unmoved, even appearing to enjoy it, and deliberately put his hand to his ear as if listening to the boos.
"A provocation, an absolute provocation." Li chuckled.
"Guys, let's get this party started! If it doesn't work, just grab some sticks and beat them up like men..."
"Lee Jordan!" Professor McGonagall shouted. "Don't spout nonsense."
"I'm sorry, Professor, I couldn't help myself. I just mistook the Hufflepuffs for the Slytherin bandits." Li said apologetically, "I just mistook the Hufflepuff for the Slytherin bandits."
These silly badgers weren't so tough; they were soft and squishy, like sausages.
Even my grandma is tougher than them when she plays ball!
Lee's words infuriated two teams; the Slytherin and Hufflepuff students booed him in dissatisfaction.
Some people even threw Dungbomb at the commentary booth.
However, Lee's words did work. Cedric knew that the only way to defeat this Ravenclaw was to limit William.
The only way to limit him is to keep fouling him and make his shooting touch cool down.
If that doesn't work, pull someone away; if there's nothing else to do, hit their hand hard; otherwise, use an iron elbow... give him a good elbow.
Anyway, the officiating was much less forceful during the final.
Sure enough, in the next round, Hufflepuff's two Beater came at William's head with their bats.
William controlled the broom, swept backwards, and then circled around another female Chaser, Rose, whom King of Qin circled around.
He fluttered around the branch like a butterfly, then pounced on the basket at an even faster speed.
Rose disregarded the danger, jumped off her broom, and pounced on William.
The girl grabbed William's clothes, exposing most of his shoulder.
William was utterly speechless... Playing ball is fine, but why involve taking off people's clothes?
You've already taken your clothes off, so why are you still groping around, trying to touch William's abs?
William's female fans were immediately impressed.
If I had known it could be like this, I would have gone to play Quidditch!
But Madam Hooch did not react; Hufflepuff's students had just deliberately set off fireworks to attract her attention.
With a snap, William's clothes were torn to shreds.
Rose fell down, and William, shirtless, grabbed her hand and dragged her onto his broom.
"This is outrageous." Li was speechless.
"But this is what playing ball is all about! This is Quidditch is all about!"
"William, don't be afraid. A real man doesn't flinch when faced with tight defense."
Only by forging ahead and overcoming obstacles will you discover scenery that others have never experienced.
At this point, Madam Hooch finally turned the tables and called a foul on Hufflepuff.
Cedric flew over, trying to explain that Rose had been swept off the broom by William and then saved by him.
William should be given a flagrant foul.
So... Madam Hooch gave Cedric a technical foul.
Possession came to the Hufflepuff Quidditch Team, and after a handoff between Summerby and Rose, the latter took a shot from the high post.
After this powerful and accurate shot went in, Rose beat her chest in frustration, roared to the sky, and displayed the demeanor of the Badger King.
"Hufflepuff has finally broken his goal drought," Lee said with a chuckle. "However, William will soon respond with a goal!"
Li is indeed a football expert; William prepared for a fast break and flew wildly towards the goal.
Cedric blocked William's position, Starbrusher beneath him slammed into the Firebolt, the violent scraping of the broom echoing across the arena.
Thinking he had an opportunity, Coote suddenly swung his club, striking the Bludger with a resounding clang.
Just as the Bludger was about to hit William behind him, he threw Quaffle forward, which collided with the Bludger.
As both balls changed position simultaneously, William secretly delivered a powerful elbow strike, causing Cedric to stagger and nearly fall off his broom.
William seized the opportunity to break free, spun around in a wide arc, caught the Quaffle, and then passed it behind his back to Bradley without looking.
Bradley, near the Hufflepuff goal, caught the ball perfectly, didn't even need to adjust his posture, and comfortably scored.
This pancake was so satisfying!
I am Ravenclaw's number one... pancake-eating king.
"Haha, even a player like Bradley scored! Ravenclaw is completely outplayed, Hufflepuff is in danger." Lee started explaining again.
"This is what I often say: pass it out, return it, coordinate inside and outside play, have a high shooting percentage on the perimeter, and also create scoring opportunities inside, making it very difficult for the opponent to defend."
"Huh?" he asked, puzzled. "Rose of Hufflepuff, she's got a grudge against William today and wants to call back?"
Ha, look, this ball went off on its own again, didn't it?
Wow, he actually dared to shoot? Wow, that ball went in? Impressive...
Li was slapped in the face, but he remained unfazed and said:
"Although this kind of shot went in, it really dampened the teammates' enthusiasm."
The other Chaser at Hufflepuff barely touched the ball today.
"Because she's playing irrationally. She's the playmaker for Hufflepuff; how can her teammates possibly have any rhythm if she plays like that?"
William rode Firebolt, flying through the air.
As he listened to Li's explanation, he thought to himself:
The analysis is... very poor.
