Game 2
Israel – Luxembourg 104 – 70
(27-13, 30-15, 26-20, 21-22)
The Second defeat in a row for our squad against the top favorite team in the tournament, the nation of the Division A U20 European championship winner. A step forward for our national team who played better than yesterday.
The opponent succeeds to take the lead from the beginning of the game and managed to win their game due to the high intensity in defense, plus the quick transition and the high number of the 3 points shots made. Our squad tried to show reaction after the 1st game but the team efforts weren’t enough specially in defense due to the lack of aggressiveness (7 team fouls during the game).
The players are determined to come with a better performance tomorrow against Macedonia, the game will take place in gym « KALE » at 18:45
