For all the people inside the building, the image of Konan High inside their heads was always 'invincible', 'almighty', 'untouchable', or something like that. No matter how many years passed and how many times players come and go, they would always come out as a benchmark for a proper championship team. They were a bunch of monsters being placed into a team and somehow, it would always work perfectly without each one of them conflicting with the others.
They had the best recipe for being a champion team here: they were full of talent, experienced, and could work together like a well-oiled machine.
That was why when a team like Tsunemori managed to give them trouble, it shocked all the people who watched the game. Even though they admitted Tsunemori's performance far exceeded their expectation, what Konan players showed in this game was far below their standard. That was why it wasn't so strange for anyone to hear the critique echoed all over the building.
