Maccabi Tel Aviv will host the Olympics tomorrow (Thursday) as part of the Euroleague's 26th round. Maccabi is coming in fifth place and a win could bring it to fourth place with a home advantage if CSKA Moscow lose to Barcelona in a match that takes place a few hours earlier.

Team coach Janis Spropoulos spoke at a press conference this evening: "It is important for us to be energized, play well for 40 minutes to achieve the desired result" Open Coach, "Expect an interesting game, have a new coach, they have changed a lot of players, they have players Who are recovering from illness and injuries then we have to be ready for everyone. "

About the opponent: "Of course she can win, every EuroLeague game is very open, if you don't play well you can lose to anyone. Olympiacos is very athletic, if we don't do our job in the best way it can cause problems for us, for example their game against Tesk "A Moscow."

On the situation of the injured: “Black will be out, he is in the final stage of recovery but will not play and we do not know when he will return, it seems, the doctor will decide when he will return. Yuval is in good shape, he returns, I think he will play in the game, he is ready to play, and also Quincy Acey on the roster. I hope we have this roster to the end, including Tariq, so that we are in the most optimal position to fight for the result we want. ”

On the possibility of gaining home advantage: “It's still too early to talk about home advantage, it's important to think game after game like we started from the beginning of the season, the most important thing right now is to qualify and that's something we haven't yet guaranteed, so our focus is on that. There is still a long way to go, anything can happen, everything is open and we are experienced enough to recognize it. We think carefully after game, ”the coach concluded.

As with quite a few games this season, this time around, many representatives of NBC teams will also fill the Hall of Manna Mivtah offerings. Apart from a delegation of Golden State officials who have been in Israel for several days and representatives of the Cleveland Cavaliers, there will also be Brooklyn Scouts of the Brooklyn Nets, Houston Rockets and Indiana Pacers.
