Disassembled together: Hapoel Jerusalem once again found itself in a horror film
Blatt lost control already in the first minute, Papas could only try to dress up as Fargo, and the sparkling guards did not exist in front of the San Pablo seniors.
After another anemic display in a crucial game, and despite the mitigating circumstances, Katsch's next apology may be the last

Interview with Jacoben Brown, captain of Hapoel Jerusalem (video editing: Nir Chen, after: Avichai Baruch)
1. The Oaka - Yad Eliyahu on Speeds
"We had an amazing season, and then the Corona came and after that everything changed. Everyone with their head down, because it's a hard way to lose. It's very disappointing to end like that. We opened the game terribly and were shocked. We weren't aggressive enough, timeouts didn't help. I'm responsible for that. We did not do enough. "
This quote belongs to Oded Katash, and his words correspond one by one to the reality that slapped across his face last night (Wednesday) in Ouaka.
But he said these words in another case, so different and so similar, and so not so long ago - two months ago in total, when Hapoel Jerusalem lost to Maccabi Rishon Lezion in the Israeli Final Four.

Oded Katash: "Sorry on behalf of all of us for the way and the result"
To the full article
The words he said two months ago also matched yesterday.

And so, the Reds again found themselves in the same horror movie.
The first half in Uka was Yad Eliyahu on speed: within 15 minutes Jerusalem managed to open weakly, hesitantly and anemically, and fell into a double-digit deficit;
Nikos Papas disguised himself (at least for a few moments) for Jeremy Fargo and returned her to the picture, but unlike the comeback completed in July - this time she only came close to minus 5. The relatively small lag did not last more than a few seconds, before the Israelis finally waved the white flag.
Even before the break, Burgos flew to 20:38, which is a bit reminiscent of Rishon Lezion's 19:41 in late July, and it was not even an introduction to the record advantage.
The National Cup holder was defeated 92:65 and suffered its heaviest loss in Europe since defeating 108: 61 in 2016 to another Spaniard, Gran Canaria.
In the four seasons of the existence of the Champions League, there was only one playoff game that ended in a higher gap (Monaco - Gilona Gora 60:90, two years ago).

2. Crop: 19-2 from the field, 11-0 for three, 39: 2 in the index
The cumulative age of the top three guards from Burgos is no less than 105 years: Omar Kook, 38, Alex Renfro, 34, and Thad McFadden, 33. The stage for young people;
Well, yesterday they added 31 points, 16 assists and 7 3-pointers by 50%.
On the other hand, Jerusalem has placed the young people who are supposed to be at the height of their power.
Tamir Blatt, 23, received a long-term contract with the Euroleague team this summer, and did not exist at all in the match against the San Pablo seniors.
He had 24 minutes, 0 points and 6 losses (another tier reminiscent of the semifinal against Rishon Lezion), and it's not that his back line partners were better.
Malcolm Hill (24) may still turn out to be a fantastic steal this season, and Tariq Phillip (27) arrived in Israel after a good EuroCup debut season, but last night this trio scratched 2 shots from 19 field shots, including 0 from 11 from outside the arc, and lost to the three old men 39 : 2 in the index.
Then you will be told that James Paladin did not appear for big games.
A disturbing phenomenon that repeats itself over and over again.

Date B or three units?
It is no coincidence that the script in the first few minutes mentioned the events of Yad Eliyahu at the end of July.
In fact, a team that suffered from non-ideal preparation (to say the least), which had not met a non-Israeli opponent for six months, lost its main offensive engine and is still groping its way to reconnect, had to get into the decisive game tactically and controlled.
In practice, the opposite happened.
In the absence of Jacoben Brown, and in light of the fact that he is the only coordinator on the roster, Blatt has taken the matriculation exam.
And he will probably have to wait until the second date, or go down to three units.
He started the game with three quick negative actions (two fouls and a loss), and lost control of what was happening on the field.
Within four minutes, Jerusalem was 0 out of 5 for three, while the Spaniards grind the color and reach the ring at every half opportunity.
When the Burgos players finished this task and shrank the defense, they were free to throw threes themselves;
By the start of the second quarter they were already on 5 of 9.
A souvenir from the stranger who only played once.

4. Papas' prophecy came true too quickly
"Papas is in no way similar to Brown," we introduced here to the Greek Guard last week.
"He's not a coordinator, but on the day Blatt meets his instability from the negative side, and the opposing defense manages to narrow Hill's and Phillip's steps, another option will be required to score points on offense. The Greek guard is well acquainted with the rings in Ouaka, and he comes to save the Reds Everything will go wrong. "
And "those moments where everything will go wrong" came early.
very early.
too early.
Oded Katash sent Papas and Luka Mitrovic off the bench after less than six minutes;
In fact, they scored 9 consecutive points together and led Jerusalem to a 4:11 run.
But it could not really work for long.
The Greek forgot the rust marks and finished as the leading scorer with 13 (just like Mitrovic), but as befits someone who joined the team four days ago, his points came from individual operations and not from group moves.
Can further turn into fantastic theft.

5. There is at least one positive line
What does all this say about the continuation of the season of Jerusalem? By and large - nothing. The Reds knew they were coming to the "Winner's Cup in a Million Euros" from a problematic starting point, because the late end of the Israeli Corona League forced them to start preparing for this season long after their rivals (a problem Maccabi Tel Aviv will also suffer in the Euroleague in the coming weeks); And they realized, even if they did not agree to admit, that their story ended with the receipt of the MRI results that presented the condition of Brown's shoulder.
But the troubling news for her is the tendency to fall silent, over and over again, in the playoffs, and to repeat the same negative effects, the same mistakes and the same players. When Katsch extended his contract a year and a half ago, Eyal Chomsky referred to him as "Alex Ferguson of Jerusalem." Another such collapse in Money Time, which will be registered in his name, and his life will be more flushed than Fergie's. The apologies and confessions will no longer help him.
Hapoel Jerusalem Model 2021 will be measured according to its displays in 2021, and the new foreigners will still provide quite a few highlights. And if there is one positive line that the Reds can still take from the dismal evening in Athens, it is the fact that after the 1-of-7 show yesterday, Hill will probably not get to exercise the option to leave his contract and stay until the end of the season.
