On the way to the World Cup: The Israeli team must take advantage of the chaos Israel today

2021-11-25T07:22:40.862Z


In the absence of a responsible adult, European team basketball sinks into ego struggles and marches into the unknown.


If world basketball had a father and a mother, the Israeli team would host Poland tonight at Yad Eliyahu or at the arena in Jerusalem.

11,000 spectators would come to see Danny Abdia lead the Israeli golden generation against a stubborn Polish team led by Matthias Ponitka of Zenit.

On the other hand, if world basketball had a mom and dad, the November window of the national teams would not have taken place, but an extended window in February where the NBA All-Star break would have been used for two weeks of celebrating world basketball teams.

Just describe a game between Greece and Slovenia in Uka.

20,000 spectators would come to see Yannis Antokompo in front of Luka Doncic.

With far less ego among world basketball captains led by the Euroleague, 22,000 people would crowd the Kombank Arena in Belgrade to watch Nikola Jukic and Bogdan Bogdanovic face Ricky Rubio.

Ginat, Ziv and Madar.

Tonight opens against Poland,

There is no such film in football, that on the day the local team plays at the beginning of its path in the World Cup qualifiers, its national champion plays in Germany against the local champion.

But without a responsible adult and a demanding public opinion, the national basketball we grew up on goes into the unknown.

This chaotic situation must be exploited by the Israeli team to register for the World Cup in the summer of 2023. Its rival tonight, Poland, did this perfectly in the previous campaign.

Although she lost twice to Lithuania at home early but kept the home side, taking full advantage of the fact that Italy and Croatia played against her without NBA and Euroleague players, to return to Mondobasket after 52 years (!).

In the previous campaign, the team recorded a loss in Tallinn and two more against Georgia, and performed Kharkiri in the closing seconds in Germany.

If we know how to maintain homeliness and take advantage of the missing vehicles - on a clear day you can see Manila.

Premiere on the lines

The first step begins today.

After 21 months, the Israeli team returns to play in front of the home crowd at the Kvutzat Shlomo Hall.

With a new coach on the lines (Guy Goodes) this was to be the joint premiere of the new generation, which is set to elevate the team in the next decade to new heights.

But at least with four of the potential five - Tamir Blatt, Yuval Sussman, Danny Abdia and Roman Sorkin - we will probably have to wait for the national team window at the end of June to start reconnecting.

Moreover, the current state of the team is not optimal.

Tomer Ginat does excel in France, but - and here there is a big and long mourning - Yam Madar is recovering from the injuries and the load, and Gal Makal only returned this week to play;

Yiftach Ziv and Jake Cohen, two of the most prominent on the team in the successful bubble in Spain a year ago, need the team as a rehabilitation project;

Pnini - good as he may be - is already 38 years old, and of the only nine Israelis currently on a double-digit balance of points in the league, only four are on the team.

Goods, like the other teams, does not have time to instill a new method, so the team must continue what it did well in the Eurobasket qualifiers.

A game as fast as possible that will also ignite the crowd, good decision-making by the guards in pick-and-roll, and changing defenses - because keeping pressure effective only if practiced over time.

On the other hand, Israel gets Poland at the start of a total shift change, carried out by the talented Croatian coach Igor Milicic.

Without naturalization and without phonetics.

Must take advantage of this.

go go Israel.

Were we wrong?
