Shooting an abysmal 10\/37 (27%) in the five Round of 16 games, De Zeeuw knows full well that he could be doing better.<\/p>\n<p>But no matter, after going in for Chris Johnson who fouled out with 57 seconds left in the overtime period, De Zeeuw\u2019s experience along with captain Guy Pnini who inbounded the ball was key in scoring the winner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew we weren\u2019t going to have a clear shot on the basket with such little time left,\u201d Pnini stated. \u201cI knew I would pass the ball but the play wasn\u2019t set.

He (Pnini) just made a small motion and I knew I had to go to that spot on the floor. I took a chance to go quicker and then I just had to put the ball in the basket. It was like a striker in football scoring a goal. After the basket I ran and ran and if they didn\u2019t stop me I would have run forever. This was amazing for the fans and for the club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Being away from his family who are in Belgium and can\u2019t enter Israel has been tough for De Zeeuw explained Pnini, \u201cEveryone sees that he\u2019s not having an easy time. He\u2019s here without his family, two children and a wife and they are in Belgium all alone. If I wasn\u2019t with my family for just a few days, I would break down. It\u2019s not simple. I\u2019m so happy for him. And it was just great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The COVID-19 pandemic has taken on a toll on people all around the world in so many different ways. From losing a loved one, to having one\u2019s livelihood be taken away, there are so many stories that have impacted so, so many people.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_32153\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32153\" class=\"size-full wp-image-32153\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-2-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-2-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/image-2-2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-32153\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Maxim De Zeeuw &#8211; Photo Credit: Champions League<\/p><\/div>\n<p>De Zeeuw who joined the club during the November International window was originally on a contract that was supposed to end after the first phase of the Champions League season. But with Stefanos Dedas\u2019s squad rolling along, the 2014 Belgian Player of the Year extended his deal until the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of they day, the power forward has been a consummate professional both on and off of the court adding yet another very experienced player to Holon\u2019s team. \u201cI want to take the win, F\u2014- it. It was an awful game but as long as we win I\u2019m happy. As a pro and you know when you aren\u2019t helping the team, it\u2019s frustrating. But the fans were amazing even after I missed the free throws. It boosts you. I played good defense and I am really grateful for the fans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have gone through a lot,\u201d Pnini commented. \u201cTyrus (McGee), Chris (Johnson), Maxim, CJ (Harris) and myself have so much experience.

This time however, they did it and the key ingredient along with the experience has been most definitely the character of the players on the squad, Pnini explained, \u201cIt\u2019s the character and the quality of the players. I can count on one hand how many fights there may have been between the players.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Head Coach Stefanos Dedas knows full well that he has a special group of guys playing for him at the club and also understands how his team punched their ticket to the Final 8, \u201cAt the start of the lockdown we were watching the Final 8 in Athens for the previous season.
