The time and distance required are relative to the speed of the opponent. The opponent was just starting to move (had no speed to be considered). As a result, the time/distance required is very small and I think plenty time/distance was given for the situation. The defender had been heading away from the screen and had just stopped and reversed direction into the screen.
