Chapter 558 God's Operation
“It feels like it’s not even close!”
Looking at Hermione and others standing on the top floor, waving to him and shouting "Come on", Jerry smiled and stretched out his hand to gently snap his fingers.
Suddenly, countless beautiful petals appeared out of thin air over the entire stadium, and fell to the audience below with the wind. The delicious fragrance of flowers filled the entire stadium.
When everyone was silent in the beautiful rain of petals, a red rose quietly fell into the hands of Hermione, who was reaching out to catch the petals.
"The competition officially begins!"
Although he was surprised why there was an extra shower of petals, Fudge still followed the opening sequence and started the game on time.
As expected during the game, the England team was completely at a disadvantage. However, given the home field advantage and the team's hard training during this period, it was still better than expected.
One second before the Golden Snitch was released, the score between Ireland and England was 110:40, a 70-point gap.
"Look, our referee today, Hassan Mustafa, the well-supported president of the International Quidditch Federation who flew all the way from Egypt, is starting to release the Golden Snitch!"
Seeing that the balance of victory began to tip towards Ireland, the English fans finally waited for the Golden Snitch and began to cheer loudly.
Because they knew that whether the England team could defeat the Irish team would depend on whether the legendary Seeker Jerry could catch the Golden Snitch before the Irish Seeker.
And it cannot be too slow, otherwise once the score difference between Ireland and England exceeds 150 points, even if Jerry can catch the Golden Snitch, he will not be able to win.
Because the score of the Golden Snitch is 150 points, if you catch the Golden Snitch, the game is over.
The Golden Snitch, which was smaller, more agile and faster than the Hogwarts Quidditch game, flew out of the box in the hands of the referee, and then quickly disappeared from everyone's eyes.
Jerry and the Seeker on the other side stared at the Golden Snitch and quickly looked for traces of it.
"Found it!"
In just two seconds, Jerry used his far superior vision to locate the movement of the Golden Snitch, then activated the Firebolt under him at full speed and rushed towards the Golden Snitch.
Although the Irish Seeker on the opposite side hadn't spotted the Golden Snitch yet, seeing Jerry rushing over, he very smartly rushed towards the direction of Jerry's flight.
With the same Firebolt broomstick and the same full speed, the Irish Seeker naturally moved at the same speed as Jerry, but because he was a step slower, he was half a body behind.
In the audience, everyone saw Jerry and the Irish Seeker rushing towards the Golden Snitch through the panoramic telescope, and the atmosphere reached a climax in an instant.
Flags of shamrocks and red crosses filled the entire field, and the names of Jerry and the opposite seeker rang in the sky.
Because whoever catches the Golden Snitch first will end the game directly.
Ten seconds after the Golden Snitch was released, Jerry appeared behind the Golden Snitch riding a broomstick, and half a meter behind him was the Irish Seeker.
Seeing that if the speed was a little faster, he could reach out and catch the golden snitch, but at this moment, the golden snitch actually changed direction at super speed and fell vertically downwards.
…
In fact, this is normal. The Golden Snitch is just a ball. Although it is fast, it is not as fast as a broomstick flying at full speed.
The reason why it is so difficult to catch is because it is very small and can change directions at will.
Under normal circumstances, the Seeker cannot adapt to a super-speed change of direction like the Golden Snitch, and will inevitably overshoot, then adjust the direction, and then search for the Golden Snitch's position again.
Therefore, if the seeker's skills are not strong enough, he may not be able to catch the Golden Snitch even if he catches it for several days, and the game will last for several days.
Historically, this kind of thing has never happened.
If it were a normal game, Jerry would probably do the same as a normal Seeker, let go of the Golden Snitch first, take his time later, and catch it at the last moment.
But today, he led everyone to buy a bet, and it was also the last Quidditch match. Naturally, it could no longer be the same as before.
Therefore, for the first time in the arena, the 100,000 wizards present saw what could be called a scene of divine manipulation.
I saw that when the Irish player rushed over because he was too fast and had no time to turn, Jerry jumped directly off the broomstick.
Then at the moment of falling, he grabbed the tail of the broomstick and relied on the gravity of his body to force the broomstick to rotate 270 degrees in mid-air.
When he aimed the broomstick at the golden snitch flying downwards, he used his strong arm strength to put his body back on the broomstick.
The whole process can be described as smooth and smooth, not much slower than the Golden Snitch changing direction at super speed.
Seeing that he did not get rid of Jerry and was already flying downward to the stadium ground, the Golden Snitch continued to change direction at super speed, changing from downward to forward, trying to get rid of Jerry again.
Unfortunately, Jerry had already anticipated this situation. At the moment when the Golden Snitch changed direction, he did not control the broomstick to change direction at all.
Instead, he directly pushed his feet on the broomstick, and flew over from the broomstick. When the golden snitch changed direction, he grabbed him, then rolled in the air and landed gracefully on the ground.
"Fifteen seconds, it took Jerry Kamen fifteen seconds to catch the Golden Snitch, the game is over!
Ireland versus England, the score is 120:190, this year the world is in the final, England wins!"
The Director of the Sports Department of the Ministry of Magic, who was responsible for hosting and commentating, excitedly announced the results of the competition.
All the fans present who supported the England team, or should be said to support Jerry, raised their flags and stickers of Jerry, and started cheering and shouting crazily.
Some wizards even took out their wands and began to release balls of flames or luminous magic. Occasionally, there were a few who were about to cast arrow spells, but they were quickly stopped by the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic who were scattered around to maintain order.
Catch the Golden Snitch in fifteen seconds, and the series of amazing operations just now, this year's Quidditch World Cup will definitely be recorded in the history of the Quidditch World Cup.
Because this is not luck, but Jerry truly relying on technology to complete the process of capturing Quidditch.
In the future, there will surely be many Seekers who need to train and imitate Jerry's skills in dealing with the Golden Snitch's speeding change of direction.
Likewise, most of them will experience serious injuries such as broken arms, thighs, and necks.
After all, without Jerry's extraordinary physical fitness, it would be impossible to skillfully perform difficult skills like the one he just did without falling hundreds of times.
