Eh, I guess so. But I don't think the scene had much buildup compared to the manga. In my opinion, part of what made that scene so epic is what preceded it. You saw Ai's times slumping, and you see that both Ai and Junichi are worried about it. Junichi starts to wonder if he's a distraction, if he's hindering her performance. He's honestly worried about how she's doing in terms of her times.
Yeah, Ai offhandedly mentioned that her times were slumping, but it didn't seem to phaze Junichi at all. Again, most of this is because the condensed the entire conflict into 1 episode.
