Every time they faced off, he could see the progress of the Bobcats!
Compared to the matchup at the beginning of March, the Bobcats had not made as significant progress tonight in terms of player and tactical abilities as they had between the first and second, and second and third matchups. The potential of the Bobcats' current players and their tactical potential had been fully tapped in the early to mid-season. They needed time to polish the players' fundamentals and more games for the coaching staff to gather material for tactical studies before they could accumulate potential again.
But after a little over a month, the Bobcats' ability to seize opportunities had improved a lot!
They were also stronger at controlling the game after establishing a lead!
Saunders thought the Bobcats would pose a threat to them only in the following season, but tonight, he already felt a strong sense of unease and urgency.
The recruitment was not going well!
