Fortunately, over the past 4 minutes, they had stabilized the situation with solid defense, but if this continued, it would be very unfavorable for them.
On the other side, James, like a monster, was going full force on the offensive end and, despite his poor defensive habits draining a lot of energy, he was still full of vigor. When the opportunity for a quick transition arose, he'd surge forward faster than anyone else. If this dragged on, the game would eventually be overwhelmed by James.
They had to score! They had to break the deadlock!
That meant they could only rely on their one rookie high school student who had a relatively stable mid-range scoring ability.
On the other side, Mike Brown didn't make any substitutions. Sometimes, not understanding offense could be a 'benefit.' He wasn't anxious about offensive plays, as long as he had James to rely on; it saved him the worry.
The game continued, with the Bobcats falling into a set offense.
