First of all, the national seed team can play one less round. If a team can fight to the end and play six rounds back to back for six days in a row, even if the first round can abuse vegetables and play one less round, it will save considerable physical strength and energy. However, this is not the most important thing. Because according to the grouping principle of the national competition, the seed team can effectively avoid a top strong team before entering the semi-finals, except the fourth and fifth seed teams, because they are in the same quarter-finals. For example, Hainan and Luoan in the middle of the plot.
The grouping of IH Summer Nationals is very particular. Whether it is the seed team or not, the first round basically ensured the situation of strong and weak contrast, so Xiangbei is a dark horse that is seriously underestimated. However, this situation has also occurred frequently in previous national competitions. So in the first round and the second round, either the weak team was hanged or the strong team was upset. After all, the strength of every high school basketball team changes every year and every three years. There are only a handful of teams that can maintain high-intensity combat effectiveness all the year round!
Is it possible to win the championship if Xiangbei wins the seed right in the plot year? According to Inoue Takehiko's realistic design, the answer is no, in Inoue Takehiko's own words: "Let Xiangbei play four more such fierce games, anyway, I can't draw such a game!" On the one hand, the plot design of Xiangbei and Shanwang Industry was exhausted after the first world war, on the other hand, the main physical strength and reserve strength of Xiangbei were weak, which was also a very important reason. So even if Xiangbei plants the seeds correctly, it may not be able to win the world! However, northern Hunan is bound to go further.
If Xiangbei and Hainan swap places, Xiangbei will start as the quarterfinals. In the second round, he gave the horse a good beating, but in the third round, he may not meet an A-level team. After two health wars, northern Hunan has become the top eight. Then the story goes on, fighting for an A-level team and then fighting for Shanwang Industry. Even if Inoue Takehiko didn't want to draw one more game, he was weakened after fighting to the extreme, and Xiangbei became the runner-up in the national competition. So why doesn't Inoue Takehiko design like this? Because Xiangbei needs to grow up in Kanagawa Prefecture. All the above are personal opinions.
