Hearing his words, the other Ryonan players looked surprised and turned toward him.
Yueye Hongming asked outright, "Do you really think Shohoku can win?"
"They've improved fast, but Hainan has been a national powerhouse for years. They have far more experience than Shohoku."
Sendoh's lips curved slightly as he explained, "Don't forget, two Shohoku players have awakened Wildness."
Liu Chuanfeng's Wildness had long since matured, and his explosiveness and hunger to score had grown far beyond what they had been.
Although Sakuragi Hanamichi had only just awakened his and had yet to master it, the impact of that power would still pose a serious threat to Hainan's interior defense.

During Shohoku's game against them, Sakuragi Hanamichi had clearly awakened it in the final moments, when he caught up to Chi Tong and prepared to block him. That uncontrolled yet immensely powerful Wildness had produced a sudden burst of explosiveness that startled them all. Even now, remembering it sent a chill through them.
That meant Shohoku had two players with Wildness: Liu Chuanfeng and Sakuragi Hanamichi. Liu Chuanfeng could already activate and restrain his freely. Sakuragi Hanamichi had only just awakened his and was still somewhat unpracticed, but his beastlike instincts and explosive force were not to be underestimated.
