Although Wakatoshi Ushijima already felt that time was extremely tight, unfortunately, the gap between him and Hank was simply too large. There was no way for him to catch up in a short period of time. Ever since Hank had faced him before, his strength could be said to have grown explosively.
Looking at it in the short term, Hank would probably only keep getting stronger.
He would not leave many chances for people like them to surpass him. Although Ushijima had already understood this result in his heart, deep down, he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
After all, among the people standing here, who did not hope to surpass the other players and become the strongest one? Even if everyone thought that way, the reality was right in front of them. Not many people could escape it.
Thinking of this, Ushijima immediately became serious as he treated Hank as his next opponent.
"The players from Itachiyama Institute are starting to enter the court. Pay attention!"
"Is this the championship lineup?! We see them in the finals every time. They're practically permanent residents of the championship stage. Every team that comes here is a challenger, and almost no one can shake Itachiyama Institute's strength!"
"Although I don't want to admit it, that really is the truth right now. Not challenging Itachiyama Institute is practically impossible!"
"Let's pray for everyone. Hopefully Aoba Johsai can hold on for a little longer. That way, we'll be able to watch an exciting match!"
"Next is the grand final. Both teams look incredibly fired up, but that's only natural. After all, both sides reached this place only after being selected through several battles."
While the members of Aoba Johsai were still observing the match venue in front of them, the surrounding stands instantly became lively. Everyone began discussing whether the next players to appear would be able to excite them. Judging from the setting of this match alone, this game was already destined to be extraordinary.
This match between Aoba Johsai and Itachiyama Institute was bound to attract everyone's attention, and players from all across Japan would be watching it.
There was hardly anyone who would doubt that.
And amid the cheers of the crowd, the members of Itachiyama Institute, dressed in teal-green uniforms, appeared in front of everyone for the first time. Just like in the original story, almost the moment they stepped onto the court, they directly caused a commotion throughout the surrounding area.
Without a doubt, this was also the first time they had encountered a situation like this. Before the players from both sides had even begun the match, the atmosphere had already become heated.
"There are so many people! Everyone from Aoba Johsai also looks really energetic!"
Motoya Komori was the first to walk in from the entrance. Looking at the members of Aoba Johsai, he revealed a bright smile. His mood seemed extremely good, just like how he appeared on the surface.
However, beside him, Kiyoomi Sakusa had a gloomy expression and looked completely displeased. It seemed that he did not want to appear in such a crowded place at all, but because he had no choice, he had to attend this match.
After they entered the court one after another, many people's hearts began to fill with anticipation. To be honest, they did not know which side would obtain the final victory.
