Do not understand why you think it is extremely difficult for a player:

27.1. Definition
A player who is holding a live ball on the playing court is closely guarded when an
opponent is in an active legal guarding position at a distance of no more than 1 m.
27.2. Rule
A closely guarded player must pass, shoot or dribble the ball within 5 seconds.

So why do you believe its difficult for a defender to be in LGP for 5 seconds at or within 1 meter when all the offense can do is pivot?
