Well with the loss at the Drive In that just became that much harder. <\/p>\n<p>Nothing seemed to click for Israel whether it was setting up the offense or going on the break while also committing 15 turnovers and not grabbing the timely rebound which allowed the Germans to score critical points. However, the biggest issue was the personnel on the floor during the critical times of the game as well as allowing Justus Hollatz and Robin Benzing the opportunity to score down stretch as they were unable to stop the duo in crunch time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe led in the fourth quarter and #21 (Hollatz) made a couple of big shots off the dribble to cut the lead and Benzing put them up,\u201d Goodes said. \u201cWe had difficulties and we had too many ups and downs in this game.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_52375\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52375\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/C6585965-5DEA-4833-9BB8-A8FB98746F6E.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"693\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/C6585965-5DEA-4833-9BB8-A8FB98746F6E.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/C6585965-5DEA-4833-9BB8-A8FB98746F6E-300x208.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/C6585965-5DEA-4833-9BB8-A8FB98746F6E-768x532.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/C6585965-5DEA-4833-9BB8-A8FB98746F6E-610x423.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-52375\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Justus Hollatz &#8211; Photo Credit: FIBA<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nInterestingly enough, the player who did the most damage to Israelis referred to by Goodes as #21 and not by his name, Justus Hollatz which begs the question if the Blue &#038; White were ready for the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>While the Blue &#038; White players felt that they were adequately prepared for the game, it seemed that they were far from it as they headed into halftime down by a deuce and couldn\u2019t hold onto a 5-point lead in the 4th quarter with the veterans on the court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that we were not totally focused.

There is no question that Pnini and Mekel have been the backbone of Israeli basketball for years. But just as Gordon Herbert did with the likes of Sengfelder who is having a spectacular season with Bamberg and Hollatz who is just 20 years old but gaining experience in the EuroCup with Hamburg Towers, Goodes had to think a bit outside of the box. <\/p>\n<p>Dawson needed to be on the court down the stretch and the thought of dressing Hapoel Jerusalem\u2019s Adam Ariel who is not only a lethal shooter from the outside where Israel took only 14 attempts, but has also ratcheted up his defense and become a premier defender. Unfortunately Ariel was released from the second game and did not travel with the Blue &#038; White as Jake Cohen was given permission by Maccabi Tel Aviv to play in Germany.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_52447\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-52447\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_2532.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"744\" class=\"size-full wp-image-52447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_2532.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_2532-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_2532-768x571.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_2532-610x454.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-52447\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Guy Goodes &#8211; Photo Credit: FIBA<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nOn one hand, Goodes should be commended for staying loyal to his troops, but on the other he had to see that when things just weren\u2019t working out with Mekel having gone 2\/9 with 4 turnovers and Pnini taking only one shot in that change needed to be made. <\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s hope he doesn\u2019t continue to cut off his nose to spite his face in Heidelberg as he looks to guide Israel to a much needed win to get their World Cup hopes back on track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Israel National Team blew an excellent chance to move their FIBA World Cup qualifying record to a perfect 3-0 as they lost to Germany 71-67 in Tel Aviv in what was a must win matchup before the two sides play one another again on Monday this time in Heidelberg.
