Israel national team players celebrate immigration to Eurobasket (basketball association website ibasketball.co.il)

Three and a half years ago in total, the Israeli team last appeared in Eurobasket.

In her farewell match she was defeated by Eliyahu by Ukraine, and her leading scorer that evening, Lior Eliyahu, had already retired from basketball;

The highest number of minutes was given to Elisha Kadir, who has since been relegated to the National League and returned from there with Bnei Herzliya;

The team's top scorer in the tournament, Omri Caspi, returned from the NBA, but not to the national uniform;

Yotam Halperin retired, Yogev Ohayon matured and dealt with injuries, and Sean Dawson has also spent most of his time in rehab.

Last night (Sunday), Israel completed the journey towards its 14th consecutive participation in the European Championship.

But the players who will march it in the summer of 2022 will not be the ones to get off it in 2017.

After many years, in which it was difficult to break free from the older generation that carried her for about a decade, the team changed its face almost completely.

Those players, who scored 73 percent of her points in the previous tournament, will not be in the next tournament.

Not only was the trip to Eurobasket completed with the end of the games bubble in Poland, but also the well-worn term "rejuvenation process".

Unless there is a sensational development this summer at Panathinaikos, Oded Katash has apparently finished his career as national coach after two qualifying campaigns - one for the World Cup and the other for the European Championships - and with a drastic identity change on the floor.

* The team held 18 official games under Katsch's guidance: for the Mondobasket qualifiers, under the influence of the rejuvenation, it came without any preconceived expectations - and in retrospect it was only one victory away from getting a ticket to the tournament;

For Eurobasket she has already risen without any glitches or squeaks, and the coach concludes his term with an 8:10 balance in official games.

* No less than 31 different players wore the blue-and-white uniform during Katsch's tenure, and the team's undisputed star was Jake Cohen.

He appeared in the most games (along with Tamir Blatt), got the most minutes (28.8 per evening) and was the king of the Israeli baskets - with 15.8 points;

Cohen is the only one who has participated in at least half of the games and has managed to maintain an average of double figures.

* Apart from the process of rejuvenation and the search for the right line-ups, the move to the windows during the season has caused changes and shifts in the staff.

A minor injury automatically resulted in the absence of at least two games;

The clash between Fiba's schedules and those of the Euroleague and the NBA has put many senior basketball players off their feet, at least in part. by the way, playing on the team and he scored a laser Oz, shared for ten minutes in one game only.

* what about the heroes of the reserve team wins the European championship 2018 and -2019? Yuval Abbadia Danny Sussman and did not participate in most of the early games, in light of the problem of schedule Mentioned above, but it is not inconceivable that they will become the main stars of the show in the final tournament.

In addition to them, only two more went up a grade from the junior team to the senior team: Gil Benny appeared in only one game, and Yam Madar began to get a permanent place on the roster just this season.

One step ahead of everyone.

* To these four should be added another interesting name, Noam Dovrat, who due to the corona plague has not yet been privileged to appear in the reserve, and in the last window has already become part of the national team.

The guard from Maccabi Rishon Lezion, born in 2002, is the youngest player to wear blue and white during the Katsh period, and yesterday he was also honored with his first official international points.

* The oldest player on the roster was Guy Pnini, who initially found himself out of the team, but was returned to it and became a five-man player: at 37, he is still ranked fifth in minutes and fourth in points.

If he plays in the World Cup qualifiers next season, the forward is expected to be among the top five Israeli appearances of all time.

* The player who made the most significant progress while on the move is Tomer Ginat.

Until a year ago, he had a marginal share in the rotation (4.5 points and 2.7 rebounds in 12.4 minutes per game), but in both windows of the current season he became the leading power forward in the team and jumped to 10.2 points and six rebounds in 25 minutes.

* Another interesting process the team went through in everything related to the selection of the citizen.

At the beginning of Katsch's tenure, Richard Howell continued to occupy the slot, but since then there has been a change: for the first time in many years, this position was not automatically maintained for an inside player, and in some games Israel appeared without a citizen.

She ended up having four of those in the last three years: the tall Howell and TJ Klein, and guards John Dibertolomao and Spencer Weiss.
