Maccabi Tel Aviv will continue its Euroleague season tomorrow (Thursday, 19:30, Sport 5) when it will be hosted by Sinadan Erdem Arena in Istanbul with Anadolu Efes.
The Yellows come into the game with a balance of two wins and four losses, while their opponent has won two games and lost three, while still having to complete one game that has been postponed due to the spread of the corona in the Euroleague teams.
With a single victory since the opening round and in the midst of a very difficult streak of games, Maccabi Tel Aviv know that they must start winning games even against rivals who are considered very high quality on paper if they want to get close to a place that leads to the playoffs.
"Zero team is very talented," coach Yannis Sapropoulos said at the press conference today, "she had a great season and she continued with the same staff and the same coach. Although she did not start the season well, but against Olympiacos we saw she came back to herself. We will lose concentration for a minute or two, that will be enough for her to escape. "
Maccabi's three injured players since the beginning of the season - Omri Caspi, John Dibertolomeo and Yuval Sussman, will continue to be absent, even though Caspi has returned to training gradually.
It is estimated that he and Dibertolomeo will be fit to play in the coming weeks, while Sussman is expected to be absent for another month.
"I do not know a team that can be at its peak without three key players," Sapropoulos said at the press conference. "I spoke to a friend who told me he does not remember when Maccabi started the season with three injured. These are players who already know my method and requirements. "From last season, we went down to six. It's half a team."
Sapropoulos was also asked about Scotty Wilbkin's defensive ability and replied: "From the moment I came to Maccabi, I work with all the players on more effectiveness on defense. If you want to be a great player, you have to be good on defense as well. "Scotty? He's been doing a better job lately and better understands my demands on defense."

If Maccabi Tel Aviv were disappointed with last season's stoppage due to the Corona, just when the team was facing a record season for it in recent years, Anadolu Zero were doubly disappointed.
The team that led the Euroleague table and threatened to win the factory for the first time in its history.
The two teams have met 18 times in the Euroleague with the overall balance standing at nine wins per team.
The Israeli champions defeated Anadolu in the last meeting between them, but before that they lost six of seven games between the teams.
Anadolu opened the current season with a lameness, also due to the absence of Shane Larkin who returned to action just last week in the away win over Olympiacos.
Argin Atman's team continues to rely on the same squad as last season, with Larkin starring Serbian Vasily Micic, Bryant Dunston, who last week became the leading blocker in Euroleague history, Frenchman Rodrigo Boboa and Adrian Morman, German Tibor Place and German James Janss. The seniors and the experienced Croatian Kronolosev Simon with great numbers this season of 15 points, 4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game.
