On the lines.
Guy Goodes is not a coach who turns players on emotionally.
He speaks quietly, in stencils, sometimes in clichés, but he understands basketball and his experience as a player is of immense importance in his ability to identify situations on the court.
So we got the first and anemic quarter of the team, which was not properly mentally prepared and came out of the locker room dormant, but we also won, because Guy identified the critical points for victory (running at every opportunity without getting to a neat game, and betting on the Poles' long shot) and the players returning it Per game.
The extinguishing wind.
Maccabi Tel Aviv was present in the hall even when it was in Berlin and sent only two players to the team. Where were the days when Zvika Sharaf would shout before every game that the opponent is fantastic and "I warned you not to be complacent"? Too much in basketball and too little in mental aggression.
At Maccabi this would not have happened.
Yiftach Ziv continues on the steep descent line and almost lost the game with his own hands, because he dribbled himself to know, as if he had caught up with Scotty Wilbkin.
The stick and the carrot.
Gal Makal is a role model and an example of an Israeli super athlete, who always chose his path, was not afraid to leave Maccabi (twice) and take a championship from her and not with her, reached the NBA, always valued himself at the highest level and did not compromise on inappropriate contracts in teams Wrongness.
And yet, after serious injuries and Corona, he arrives happy and smiling, winning games for the team with three straight threes in moments of upheaval.
not finished.
The only thing that is good about the Euroleague-FIBA war and that not all the players come, is that thanks to him we won Guy Pnini in time. Let the Poles cry alone, in the dark.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
