The Crazy Scientist was set on competing, and Coach Carl had the same mindset, both focusing on offense, but their coaching philosophies and team play styles were entirely different, which naturally led them to want to compete against each other when they met.
However, the game never goes quite as expected. After the timeout, both teams started the "clang clang" mode of missing shots.
The tactics were in place, the fast breaks were executed, and the ball reached the hands of the finishers, but neither side could make a shot!
The reason—stamina!
It was nearing the end of the mid-season, and it was the second game of a back-to-back for both teams, with stamina issues becoming apparent from the first quarter.
The key players were somewhat better off, their strength ensuring a certain stability in their shooting even in back-to-back games, but the role players who came off the bench were struggling.
