Maccabi will not only face Yam Madar (averaging 5.9 points, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals) for the first time since his days with Hapoel Tel Aviv, but they will also face former players James Nunnally (averaging 11 points at 65.2% from two) and Mathias Lessort (averaging 12.7 points and 8.6 rebounds), who both played for Maccabi last year. The Sports Rabbi had an extensive chat with Tremaine Dalton from The Process Basketball earlier this week, and they had a chance to talk about what the Maccabi big men will have to face tomorrow night. \u201cRight now he\u2019s ranked number 6, as one of the best players in Europe,\u201d Dalton said of Lessort. \u201cI emphasize not only efficiency on the court, but mentally off the court, with making players feel like they\u2019re the best in the world \u2013 Matthias, that\u2019s how he feels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also the first time that Maccabi coach Oded Katash go head-to-head against his former coach, Partizan coach Zeljko Obradovic \u2013 who coached Katash as a player at Panathinaikos when they beat Maccabi in the 2000 Euroleague final. \u201cHe really is a special coach and a special person,\u201d Katash told the media earlier today at Ben Gurion Airport. \u201cI haven\u2019t had a chance to speak with him in a long time, but it\u2019s very exciting.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_68922\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-68922\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/EFAB6445-CADD-4C65-928B-FAFDC8F44C5E.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-68922\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/EFAB6445-CADD-4C65-928B-FAFDC8F44C5E.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/EFAB6445-CADD-4C65-928B-FAFDC8F44C5E-610x407.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-68922\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oded Katash &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nKatash is under no illusions how difficult it will be to come up against one of the greatest European coaches of all time, \u201cPartizan is also a team which has been built with a lot of new players. You see that they found it difficult at the start, but they\u2019re starting to develop a rhythm. And they\u2019re really implementing the things that they want to do just like Obradovic knows how to do in an exceptional manner. We need to be focused and aggressive. We need to make sure that all five players are involved in the defense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Partizan is coming into the game on the back of a poor performance, make no mistake \u2013 this is going to be a difficult assignment for the yellow and blue, as the home crowd will make things as uncomfortable as they can for the visitors in the stands while their team will be trying to do the same thing on the court. And while Yad Eliyahu is known as one of the more difficult places for visiting teams, Maccabi will find that same hostility when they step into Partizan\u2019s Stark Arena \u2013 a venue which boasts the highest Euroleague crowd so far this season with 16,723 (more than 6,000 more than Maccabi\u2019s highest home attendance to date).<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_70290\" style=\"width: 2058px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70290\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-19-at-12.00.30-PM.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1366\" class=\"size-full wp-image-70290\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-19-at-12.00.30-PM.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-19-at-12.00.30-PM-1536x1025.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/WhatsApp-Image-2022-10-19-at-12.00.30-PM-610x407.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-70290\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">John Dibartolomeo &#8211; Photo Credit: Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cThey\u2019re a very good offensive team,\u201d Maccabi captain, John DiBartolomeo, said of Partizan.
