Started and is already over.
The European season of the Israeli teams began tonight (Wednesday) with the relegation of Hapoel Tel Aviv from the FIFA Champions Cup qualifiers. The Reds chose not to go down to the European Cup in the event of relegation, which the club also went through last season.
Hapoel Tel Aviv Model 20/21 started the season with quite a few signs of concern.
The defense, which was one of the strongest parameters in the last part of the previous season, this time disappeared, and tonight the red team allowed its opponent to score 70 percent to 2 and 14 threes to 48 percent.
To this should be added a noticeable inferiority in rebounding.
Even on offense it looks bad.
Hapoel Tel Aviv still scored 9 threes but was less than 40 percent for two. Yam Madar with 19 points and 8 assists still appeared for the game. The others really did not. Walter Lemon Jr. stood out in his weakness with 5 points and 2 from 10 from the field.
The team from Israel also showed a low breaking point.
17 minutes more was a close game, but then the Danish team ran to 0:17 which brought it to 36:50 at the start of the third quarter and from there, the game was actually over.
The Danish team starred three exes of the Israeli league, two of whom previously played in the red: Devon Akon Purcell (19 points all in the first half), Dashon Stevens and the third Justin Dentmon.
