Good point, but if you think about it, you know that he is trying to attack Ichigo obviously, and for Orihime to protect him she just had to create the shield around him at any point. I think that it was planned that she was going to put the shield out there, not that she read it last second.

Then again, it would be cool if she saw things move slower due to a her time reversal powers.
