Precisely in the midst of the problematic offensive sequence, Anseld Jr. praises: "He is confident in his new role and allows the game to reach him." The pretentious pass to Gafford turned into a "crazy dunk"


Precisely in the midst of a slightly less good period personally, Danny Avdia receives recognition and respect.

The Israeli forward returned to the bench tonight (between Thursday and Friday) in Washington's game against Toronto, got 28 minutes and was content with 6 points with not good percentages (2 of 7 from the field, 0 of 3 from three), but precisely now, after three consecutive games with A single digit number in the points column, the Washington coach is more optimistic than ever.



"Danny struggled a little offensively, but he again helped a lot with the rebound, and he has an important part in this victory," Wes Anseld Jr. said at the end.

According to Anseld Jr., there has been a significant mental improvement in Avdia in recent times.

"He is less stressed, and more confident. In the earlier stages of the season, I felt that he was fighting for his minutes and trying to influence the game as soon as he got on the floor, he tried to make things happen. Now he allows the game to come to him. Something has been resolved in him. He understands that he has a role certain, and he feels safe in this role.

Having trouble?

"He is more and more confident in himself."

Avdia was involved in one of the most beautiful moves of the game, when he led a burst in the second quarter at the end of which he handed out an assist to Daniel Gafford's Eli Hope.

Avdia's pass, which was particularly high, required Gafford to jump very high before the dunk, and made reporters who cover Washington remember the quote the athletic center provided a few months ago, when he said that for him, "you can hand me to the moon."

"Gafford asked, and Avdia obeyed," they wrote in the United States - and the impressive dunk reached the parade of the most beautiful moves of the night, and was chosen in fourth place.



"Danny asked me in the locker room if his pass was too high, I told him it was perfect," Gafford said.

"I always like to catch the ball with one hand and dunk, I like that my athleticism is tested. I surprise myself sometimes. My dunks look more and more crazy to me. It was another one of the crazy dunks I've had throughout my career."

By the way, Avdia was also a participant in what was defined in the United States as "the embarrassing moment of the night", when during several consecutive attacks, Washington and Toronto missed again and again, in a comedy of errors.

Avdia was actually a bright spot in the entertaining moments, with two good passes that set off bursts that unfortunately ended in strange fouls.
