If we thought that the big victory in Europe last week and the impressive ability were something unique due to the weakness of the Italian Brindisi, Hapoel Holon came and with a crushing basketball display tonight (Monday) defeated Maccabi Rishon Lezion 67: 101 and showed that it has a strong team this year.
Maurizio Buscalia has disciplined players.
The Italian coach talks about defense and intensity on both sides of the pitch and they perform.
Chris Johnson, Frederic Bourdieu and Niv Misgav take out the opponent's ball leaders to play with a tight and aggressive guard on the ball, while Sharfi Manko, Guy Pnini and the other long players attack the lost balls and inaccurate dedications and Holon punishes every mistake with fatal passing attacks. .

In the front line, Buscalia has Michael Kaiser and Mark Ogden.
The first is admittedly not a classic goal player, but a great athlete, moves well without a ball and knows how to finish inside the ring in a lethal way, especially when Joe Ragland runs it.
The other does exactly what he knows - a good guard, rolls nicely and does not get involved in the attack.
A speaker is looking for the basket,
Rishon LeZion continues its stuttering season opener. Purchasing player Maurice Kemp looks not bad at all and the Israelis are also contributing nicely, but with only two points from the two senior foreign guards it is impossible to get anywhere.
