The window opens. The Israeli national team is currently holding a press conference ahead of the pair of games against Finland (24.2) and Slovenia (27.2).
As a reminder, those who will stand on the lines for the games are also those who served as Guy Godes’ assistants – Nadav Zilberstein and Dror Cohen. Also, just before the press conference, the national team announced that Niv Mashgav had been released from the squad due to an injury.
Unfortunately for the staff and fans of the national team, the meetings this Friday and next Monday will be for the record only, because Israel was unable to get the ticket to MondoBasket.
Also, in the last few weeks, talks have been going on between the team members and Pablo Lasso, with developments on the subject expected soon.
The one who spoke at the opening of the press conference is the interim coach Nadav Zilberstein: “As in every window, we are happy to be here. The Israel national team is the showcase of Israeli basketball, the games are very important to us. We want to come and win. This team, like those before it, is part of a dynasty of beautiful achievements. We want to play at the same standards and train at the same standards standards. We want to bring the intensity and aggressiveness of those that preceded it.”
