Background
Before Wu Yufei joined, Miuradai was a competitive but incomplete Kanagawa program. The team had reached the prefectural top eight the previous year before losing to Kainan, and its roster possessed an average height above 185 cm, Murasame Kengo’s scoring ability, and Naito Tetsuya’s elite physical gifts. Its major weakness was poor ball handling and the absence of a high-level point guard. 2
Coach Harada spent two years strengthening the program in hopes of breaking Kanagawa’s long-standing Kainan–Shoyo duopoly. After watching footage of Wu Yufei leading a previously weak middle-school team to China’s national top eight, Harada recruited him to orchestrate Miuradai’s offense and unlock Murasame and Naito. 2
Wu’s arrival transformed the team immediately. In an early intrasquad game, his passing repeatedly created open opportunities for Murasame, Naito, and the rest of the lineup, while opponents were unable to contain both him and Miuradai’s established scorer at once. 4

Major Arcs
Rise in Kanagawa
Miuradai opened its new era by dominating friendly matches against Takezono and Tsukubu, both previous-year quarterfinalists. The team’s performances convinced its students and spectators that it could surpass its earlier prefectural top-eight finish. 21
In the Prefectural Tournament, Miuradai overwhelmed its group-stage opposition, including a 155–45 win over Ohkita, a 158–33 win over Nanbin, and four consecutive victories by over 100 points. 24 25
First National Championship Era
After becoming a national champion, Miuradai’s success reshaped the school’s basketball culture. The club’s membership grew beyond sixty students, the school board increased investment, and plans were discussed to renovate or replace the gym with professional-level facilities. 105 193
The team also proved it was more than a single-star lineup: second- and third-string players received extensive tournament minutes and helped secure major victories. 153 243
Dynasty Building
Following a roster transition, Harada cut veterans whose ability no longer met the program’s standards and selected younger replacements. The resulting twelve-man rotation contained six freshmen, creating a roster designed for sustained national competitiveness. 179
Wu’s election as captain formalized his authority to organize training and demand high standards from every player, including reserves. 180
National Dominance
As defending champions, Miuradai entered later national tournaments as the leading title favorite. The team’s ability to scout opponents, control tempo, rotate lineups, and rely on reserves allowed it to maintain dominance even when Wu did not start or play extensive minutes. 234 590 591 595
Miuradai’s third Winter Cup title was secured with a 100–88 finals victory over Shohoku. The victory completed a three-peat and marked the culmination of Wu Yufei’s high-school career. 823 824
