Hapoel Gilboa Galil was clearly the better team entering their quarterfinal series against Hapoel Jerusalem with a full and deep roster of players and an excellent mix of Israelis and foreigners. As for the capital city Reds, they entered the postseason broken having lost four imports that returned to the United States due to the security situation and a very short bench. <\/p>\n

It was no surprise that in game one of the best of three series Avishay Gordon\u2019s team demolished a helpless Jerusalem side 85-58. However, they also knew that game two on the road would not be nearly as easy and that as proven to be correct.<\/p>\n

Yonatan Alon\u2019s team gave Gilboa everything that they could handle as they scored early and often against a Galilee squad that looked nothing like the team that took to the court in Gan Ner 48 hours earlier. Jerusalem did anything and everything to cause Gilboa fits whether it was Idan Zalmanson scoring in the key, Suleiman Braimoh form the outside and inside or Chris Kramer hitting his shots and even putting down a dunk.

\nThe Reds disrupted Gordon\u2019s team time and time again as they continued to make one bad decision after the next over the course of the first twenty minutes. But after the halftime break, Gilboa started chipping away at Jerusalem\u2019s lead which bumped up to 23-points while also playing airtight defense as time ticked off of the clock with Jehyve Floyd taking center stage. <\/p>\n

The story that was about to unfold over the final ten minutes could be likened to the “The Tortoise and the Hare\u201d, one of Aesop’s Fables with the tortoise in this case Gilboa who were going to find a way to cross the finish line at the 40 minute mark in first place. They kept going slowly but surely throughout the fourth quarter and as the seconds went by the came closer and closer and closer until finally they were able to get over the hump as it went from 89-81, 89-83, 89-85, 89-87, 89-88, 89-89, 89-90, 89-91. The end.

\nThere were a number of heroes for Gilboa on the night, from Joe Thomasson to Iftach Ziv, Kerry Blackshear to Isaiah Cousins. But there was no one bigger than big man Jehyve Floyd how put on a 25 point, 10 rebound performance as he helped erase a massive second half deficit to end the sees right there and then in the Jerusalem Arena and not what until Saturday night to do so at home. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been there before being down by 19, 20 points against teams and made a comeback,\u201d Floyd began. \u201cIt starts with our defense. We started putting pressure on the guards and disrupting their offense that\u2019s when we gets stops and get on a run. I feel like that in the first half we didn\u2019t do that they got open shots and it let them gain confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whatever could go wrong did for Gilboa as they dug themselves their own deep, deep hole but they were abet to figure it out when they had to in what was just one heck of a crazy game.

\n\u201cI have seen a lot in my career and a game like this only happens once in a while,\u201d Gordon said at the post game press conference as he described his team, \u201cIn one word, winners. This is a special team and I\u2019m proud to get to the final four. It\u2019s a big honor. The first half was a catastrophe and you can describe it that way. In the second half we took it step by step.\u201d <\/p>\n

Gordon made sure to prepare his team not to think that they were going to have a walkover in the Arena, but preparing is one thing and implementing that in practice is something totally different, \u201cWe spoke about how Jerusalem would play for their pride and would be aggressive. They have a lot of great players, but this was a big lesson for us and this game came down to the small things. We kept our head up and made the big shots.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, I think we came into the thing like we got to beat them early on,\u201d Floyd said. \u201cI think they punched us in the mouth first and then we didn\u2019t respond until the end but the goal was to get a 2-0 (sweep) so we can also get some rest in between the series. I think we came into the game a little bit too high but once we were down we felt more comfortable but we don\u2019t want to do that again.\u201d

\nGilboa certainly won\u2019t want to do that again because they know full well that should they do so, either Hapoel Holon or Nes Ziona will punish them Floyd explained, \u201cBoth teams are tough, both teams beat us and we beat them, so it going to be a tough game either or. With Nes Ziona we would have home court advantage so you know.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a super short squad, Jerusalem\u2019s players got into serious foul trouble as the minutes went by and Gilboa could have taken advantage of the situation much earlier on in the fourth quarter to make their lives a but easier as they mounted their comeback. But as Floyd explained, they are a team that is still learning anf coming into their own, \u201cWe\u2019re a young team. We\u2019re just out here trying to play trying to fight and come back. We weren\u2019t really thinking about tactics all season, we\u2019ve been just playing hard, just playing basketball and trying to figure out a way.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe spoke about these things at the breaks and timeouts,\u201d Gordon competed. \u201cI wanted to go inside more and more. We have a lot of tools, sometimes it\u2019s Kerry, or Jehyve, or Joe.\u201d

\nFloyd is quickly becoming one of the hottest names in Israeli basketball as more and more fans are finding out about the Holy Cross product and what he offers on the court compared to the rest of the league, \u201cI pride myself on defense. I don\u2019t know about how overall as there are some great centers out there, but I think I\u2019m the best defensive center in the league and I try to prove that all season long. We got some great stops in the last seconds of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gordon feels that Floyd can do even more than what we have seen so far in only his second season playing pro ball, \u201cI want him to take more on himself and be more physical, get to the line and believe in himself. He has to take advantage of his size and tools.\u201d<\/p>\n

If Floyd can continue to develop there\u2019s no question that he will be able to move up a level or two just like other \u201cgraduates\u201d of Gilboa who have made it to the Euroleague. One example of that is Zach Leday, but one thing that the Milano forward doesn\u2019t have is an Israeli league title and that\u2019s something Floyd is looking for along with the rest of the cub who haven\u2019t hoisted the league championship since 2010.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal is always the championship. They told us from the beginning of the season that we have a special group we\u2019ve proved it time and time again across the season we are here now; might as well shoot for the stars.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
