Storm in the Kingdom with Oded Katash, Part I (Sport 1)

A very big disappointment for the Israeli team after the loss last night (Monday) 84:80 to the German team in Heidelberg.

Following the loss, Israel dropped to second place in the fourth round of the Mondobasket qualifiers with two wins and two losses, just like Estonia, and it will have to secure its place in the second round in the next window in late June where it will face Poland away and Estonia at home.

Israel has a hard time believing how they dropped an advantage 15 near the end of the third quarter with the help of a fourth quarter scattered on both sides of the field.

In the decisive moments, the team's players missed penalties on the one hand, and on the other hand they missed two rebounds on defense that gave Germany the opportunity to gain the advantage from which the team did not return.

Tomer Ginat again led the team with 18 points and 10 rebounds, Jake Cohen added 12, as did Tamir Blatt who provided 6 assists and Sean Dawson scored 10 of his own.

"Feeling very disappointed, in the two games we played in this window we were able to win, we had a few points that the game was in our hands and fell apart at the end. Very disappointing, everyone will concentrate on the goals they have left until the end of the season. "Properly to get ahead," Tomer Ginat concluded, "how many ball losses, how many rebounds on offense, how many threes they scored, too bad. .

Bar Timor who recorded a good game with 6 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, said: "Again leading 15-16 and they ran over us with the little things, offensive rebound, some of their good personal actions. We got stuck in front of their substitutions. A very hard loss. "The end of the third quarter, instead of going down to 16 we went down by 11, small things, we had to wait until the end of the clock, a drop for better defense, we kept really good in the third quarter, too bad, it's very frustrating."

Fell in the little things.

In the second game, the team received good ability from Tamir Blatt and two solid games from Bar Timor, but the two who were supposed to lead the boys in blue and white, Gal Makal and Yam Madar, did not fulfill the role.

Stick is suffering from a crisis in his palm that occurred only after he signed up for the squad for Sunday night’s game, and is expected to miss several weeks.

Although Madar scored 12 points in the first game, he was also far from his best.

In last night's game he did not enter the game, scoring only 4 points in almost 19 minutes, and in some significant actions stopped the team game.

At the end of the third quarter, with a 13-point advantage, he did not take advantage of the entire game clock, and the Germans managed to reduce the difference to 11.

In the last quarter, he lost a ball in the momentum of the team, after which the pendulum turned again.

The team tried to defend Madar and talked about coming away from peak fitness, after an illness, and after recently not getting minutes of play regularly, but were far from defending the decision to go with him for many minutes in the decisive moments.

Max Heidegger, who was brought in on a guard standard that can help the team, played 8 minutes in the first game and in the second game without a stick stick not on the floor, which can teach him that the team is not building too much on him for the future.

The chances of immigration were harmed.

The pair of losses to Germany puts Israel in a very problematic position in its dream of promotion to the World Cup, a dream that in order to come true, the team will now have to maintain an almost clean balance.

The team lacks one win, over Poland or Estonia, to secure promotion to the second round, but to be left with a real chance it has to win twice and come up with a 2: 4 balance.

In the corresponding house Finland is with three victories, Slovenia and Sweden with two and Croatia with only one victory.

The next window in June will send at least two teams to the next stage with three wins or more, which means that in order to arrive with a good chance, the team must be at the entrance to the next house with a certain advantage.

Assuming that Germany will now have a difficult team to cross, Guy Goodes' players will have to move two from the same house, a very difficult task.
