A shock at Hapoel Jerusalem after the 73:68 yesterday (Wednesday) for Manresa who complicated the Reds in the struggles for promotion to the next stage of the Champions League.

The team from the capital has suffered a second consecutive loss at home and now three of its next four games will be away, with Oren Amiel and his players having to win three games to ensure at least third place and promotion to the play-offs.

The first to pay the price for opening the bad season is Thun Maker who arrived with a loud cheer and with the highest salary on the team and so far has not really delivered the goods.

The Australian-Sudanese player seemed unfocused on and off the pitch, and during yesterday's game Amiel looked frustrated by his lack of connection to the other players and what was happening on the floor.

According to rumors, even before the loss to the Spaniards, the club's leaders have already started looking for a player in position No. 5, and apparently now the contacts on the subject will be accelerated.

Micro himself said at the end: "It was definitely a game we had to win easily. I do not know what we are missing, I always try to stay ready and try to do my job and my part."

One of the questions that most puzzled the fans and commentators who watched the game was the question of Sean Kilpatrick's bench at most stages of the second half.

The Jerusalem attack stalled and apart from Jaylen Adams' solo moves did not provide solutions in front of the Spanish defense.

And yet, Kilpatrick, perhaps the highest-quality scorer on the roster, remains on the bench.

Micro.

Does not appear to be connected to a group,

The reason for the bench is not professional, but disciplinary.

The player did not like one of the cases in which he was replaced and apparently threw a word to the coach when going down to the bench, and it decided to leave him out.

"There are things I prefer to keep within the group, to respect everyone," Amiel replied at the end when asked about the issue.

The player himself came out late in the locker room and told reporters: "I did not play in the last quarter because of the coach's decision. I am here to do my job and play basketball. Obviously I feel I could help in the last minutes, as in any other moment, but the coach decides what is best. "And right for the team. I need to stay professional, and encourage my friends."

There was a lot of criticism of Oren Amiel in the stands of the arena and on social media among Hapoel Jerusalem fans.

In the last minutes, calls were heard from the stands demanding that the coach resign due to the bad start to the season.

Amit Gershon tried to reassure some of the fans when he told them: "We are all together, stop reading."

"I can understand them, this loss hurts them and they feel it in their heart," Amiel said of the fans' cries.

"The group is theirs before it's mine. It's not pleasant and it hurts without, but I accept everything with understanding."
