At the National Tournament, as long as they did not run into the story's final boss, Sanno Technical High School, or Shohoku with its protagonist's halo before the finals, Wu Yufei had no fear of any other powerhouse.
Whether it was Meihou Industrial, home to Morishige Hiroshi, who was modeled after Shaquille O'Neal; Daiei Academy, led by the towering floor general Tsuchiya Jun; or Aiwa Academy, led by the "Star of Aichi," Moroboshi Dai—Wu Yufei believed they could all be handled.
As for second-rate powerhouses like Toyotama and Jousei, there was even less to say. With Miuradai's current strength, even if Wu Yufei clocked out after playing only one half, the rest of his teammates could still win the game.
During the more than ten days after the brutal training camp ended, Wu Yufei kept up his regular practice while constantly studying and simulating the opponents they might encounter at the National Tournament and how to deal with them. He had even sought out Coach Harada to discuss the team's lineup and tactics for the tournament.

"That's right! Miss Miura, over the next few days, you and the big shots on the board can figure out where you're taking us to celebrate after the National Tournament ends and Miuradai wins the championship!"
"I want to go to Hokkaido!"
"What's so fun about Hokkaido in summer?
