Israel national team players celebrate immigration to Eurobasket (basketball association website ibasketball.co.il)
The Israeli team celebrated tonight (Monday) on the floor after its players remained perfect in the EuroBasket 2022 qualifying campaign and secured their place in the championship thanks to a 72:78 victory over Poland.
The team had a hard time in the opening but Yiftach Ziv came up great from the bench and flew it to a double-digit advantage.
When the Poles returned, Gal Makal, Jake Cohen and who if not Guy Pnini with a three-clutch were there for Oded Katash who celebrated his first promotion to the European Championship as coach of the Israeli national team.
Team coach
Oded Katash
said at the end: "Great fun. The players, no matter how young, are showing great maturity. We talked about the good atmosphere in the team. We came to this game with 99 percent that we qualify, but it was important for these players to finish with a victory. "We started the game not well and showed a lot of character. It's a win over a good team. It's a team that beat Spain. I think the very immigration at a fairly early stage and the fact that we are perfect so far shows the good work we have done."
On himself: "It's a weight that goes down. But even we, in our wildest dreams, did not think we would do it in such a smooth way. In a campaign that costs three out of four we are not too enthusiastic, but the fact that we did it without loss shows we did a good thick." .
On the future: "I think there are young players here who will get a lot of experience. I hope we just keep that atmosphere and enjoy as we do."
