Part 4/7:
As if the on-court failures weren't enough, the Sky's chemistry on the bench seems to be deteriorating rapidly. Observers noted Cardoso distancing herself from the team during the game, visibly frustrated each time Reese missed another shot. The body language of the players spoke volumes; a team that should be rallying together was instead showing signs of discord.
The situation has become so tense that even veteran player Courtney Vanderloot openly criticized the team's performance, calling plays "dumb" and admitting that they hadn't found their rhythm yet. When players' frustrations are captured during live games, it signals a deeper issue with team cohesion. The visible tension marks an alarming departure from what should be a collaborative environment fueled by mutual support.
