But we have to look forward now to the next game and not worry about the point differential. The guys understood the level that they would need to play and they raised it by playing an incredible defensive game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe played great back to back games and these results will really help us going forward,\u201d acting captain Bar Timor said. \u201cWe came in very focused and many guys here are hungry to succeed.

This is a team game and each one of us is playing well thanks to the other players,\u201d Beit Halachmi said.<\/p>\n<p>However, it was clear as day that the head coach has been able to receive stellar play from both veteran and youngster alike thus far whether it has been the likes of Bar Timor or Yam Madar just to name two. <\/p>\n<p>Timor who had not been part of last year\u2019s Eurobasket squad under Guy Goodes and was not counted on by the previous coach Oded Katash has been arguably the most important player for Israel since coming back into the fold over the course of the past half year. Now under Beit Halachmi, Timor knew that in order for Israel to be in the position it is in now, he had to raise the level of his game.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_92989\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-92989\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-33.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"size-full wp-image-92989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-33.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-33-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-92989\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bar Timor &#8211; Photo Credit: FIBA<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cI felt that I needed to give more of myself after the exhibition games and we looked at videos and did some extra preparation with the staff and now with the results so far I\u2019m happy that we are pushing ahead with all of our strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Madar also has taken on a critical role for Beit Halachmi\u2019s side as the guard who is beginning his first season with Fenerbahce and his third overall in the Euroleague agreed that it\u2019s a true all for one and one for all effort under the coach that had won back-to-back Under-20 European Championships back in 2018 and 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe guys want to be here with each other and play with one another,\u201d Madar explained. \u201cEveryone is happy for each of our personal successes and there is a good atmosphere in the national team camp which is important for the upcoming games.
