Maccabi Rishon LeZion breathed a sigh of relief yesterday after returning from a 20 to 85:93 deficit over Bnei Herzliya.
Noam Dovrat had a hard time getting into the game and got only 13 minutes, but scored a big three in the decisive moments and arranged the victory for the Oranges.
"I didn't get into the game well enough and that's my responsibility," he admitted at the end.
The young talent referred to the selection of his two friends, Danny Abdia and Yam Madar, in the NBA draft and did not hide his dream of reaching the best league in the world in the future.
"That's the goal, to get there, but I have another way to do it. I have a lot more work to do for it, but I know it's possible."
A spokeswoman added: "I got up at night to see the draft, I had to watch it and see who the team would choose Danny. I know he will succeed. Yam also met his goal. I was excited for both of them."
A spokeswoman is expected to go out tomorrow with the team to a bubble in Valencia and for the first time (and not the last) to be on Oded Katash's squad for the European Championship qualifiers.
"It is very exciting for me and a very important moment," he said, "it is a milestone and a pride for me. I am waiting, excited and proud to represent the country."
