Now with that in mind, let’s go by point to point.
Why people in story never say Shizu is Achiga #1
It is not hard to notice that people usually say who is better by how much point that player gained. That’s why Shizu , who is good at defend, is not considered the best player in Achiga. She is under the shadow of teammates. She’s also only shine when the table is full of monster.

Yeah, Shizu ability is revolved around defensive playstyle, not aggressive at all. We must expect she won't get many point in the final, but we must
expect she won't lose many point there.

In fact, if Awai knows the location of when she will win her hands (at the corners), then she can just riichi just before the corner for an ippatsu to get the same han value (double riichi = 2 han, riichi + ippatsu = 2 han). However, doing the ippatsu route offers a huge number of other advantages, including better defence, and improving her hand for extra yaku (i.e. tanyao, sanshoku, chin'itsu, yakuhai, or any number of other ones). The fact that Awai never considered not doing double riichi and building a better hand until the final round show how she is a crap mahjong player, far from the level of Saki or Teru or Koromo.

Awai use riichi ippatsu at the end of the captain match right? Maybe in the final we will see Awai using this play often with her 5-6 iishanten and double riichi negated. No way she will played by Shizu twice without some retaliation.
