Even though I haven\u2019t played here I have the experience of having been a leader and I want to bring that leadership and energy to this team. It took me a few games to get comfortable and now that I am, the team believes in me and I believe in them, now we are getting some good results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nes Ziona has now won four games in a row, three in the Israeli league and one in the State Cup. Meyinsse sheds some light as to why the squad has been doing so well the past few weeks and what he has done to impact the results, \u201cIt\u2019s the little things that win games. Everything I do doesn\u2019t necessarily show up on the stat sheet but what\u2019s important is to win. If I can help a teammate out, dive on the floor or talk to give the team energy I am willing to do it, whatever it takes. That energy is contagious and is far it\u2019s been helping is win some games.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_26631\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26631\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/0E22193F-C6E5-482F-AA1D-B5037CB302EC.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"size-full wp-image-26631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/0E22193F-C6E5-482F-AA1D-B5037CB302EC.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/0E22193F-C6E5-482F-AA1D-B5037CB302EC-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/0E22193F-C6E5-482F-AA1D-B5037CB302EC-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-26631\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brad Greenberg &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nCoach Greenberg spoke about how Meyinsse and fellow newcomer Braian Angola have helped changed the team for the good, \u201cThey are team guys and helped changed the temperament of our team to a smarter more precise and more talented team especially at the defensive end as they can guard. Israeli basketball is ball screen, ball screen, ball screen and if you can\u2019t guard the ball screen then you\u2019re going to have a lot of trouble and they give us the chance on a lot of possessions to guard. If you play defense then you have a chance to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The bench boss also talked about what Meyinsse brings to the table and what type of personality Nes Ziona was able to acquire, \u201cHe\u2019s a special guy and I\u2019m not just talking about basketball. He carries himself in a special way and he\u2019s got his routine to be prepared every single day for practice he\u2019s studious, he wants to learn everything, not just basketball stuff. He knows basketball, he wants to learn about Israel, Hebrew and learn about the world. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s a renaissance guy and uniquely different than a lot of players that choose to leave the United States and play overseas. Everything is an experience for him that he wants to grow from. He\u2019s joy to coach. You\u2019re lucky to run across guys like that and I\u2019ve been lucky with a lot of good players.
