Goal - Euroleague: Eurocup season opens tonight Israel today

2021-10-19T10:23:13.970Z


Three Israeli representatives, two teams claiming the crown, and one Zeljko Oberdovich • Season 2021/22 In the secondary factory of the Euroleague will start tonight with a new and especially tricky method


1.

The plant opened last European Eurocup season is early evening (Tuesday), with no Israeli groups detached from the plant and moved the Champions League's biggest rival, FIBA. Four seasons since Hapoel Jerusalem has the Champions League, there was only one season of Israeli participant - Maccabi Rishon LeZion.

On the other hand, the factory will have a respectable representation of Israeli actors.

Tomer Ginat and his ambitious and strengthened team to Bloa Metropolitans, Yam Madar in the great project of Zelimir Oberdovich, and Gal Makal in Andorra.

The three teams were placed in the same house, and there will be quite a few Israeli derbies.

2.

The plant secondary Euroleague, also marked the second plant, its strength in Europe, has experienced erosion of its status.

The Eurocup has been damaged professionally and in terms of image, due to the departure of several important clubs in favor of the Champions League.

Among the "arteries" - Ritas Vilna, Glatsray, Drushpaka, Topash Bursa, and this season also Malaga.

The Spanish teams, unlike in the past, come to the Champions League willingly, and this season no less than four of them will play there.

All this reopened the debate as to who was the second most powerful enterprise on the continent.

Although the big card is in the hands of the Eurocup - only through it can the Euroleague (the two finalists) be reached - a big image battle took place here.

This season, the Eurocup received a great gift, perhaps a tie-breaker - Zelimir Oberdovich.

Once the head coach decided to give up the Euroleague in favor of the Belgrade partisan, it created tremendous momentum for the factory and great interest.

It is not only that such a coach deserves to coach in the EuroCup, it is also his immense appeal, which led to him building a strong team with Euroleague players, who only because of him decided not to play in the senior factory.

Zeljko in this area is a buzz, this is a team that sees only one goal - reaching the Euroleague.

But it's not just Oberdovich.

This is also Virtus Bologna, and the fight that will be created for the title of the dominant team in the league.

Virtus, who missed out on qualifying for the Euroleague last season, got even stronger this season.

The team of Milos Theodosic and Marco Bellinelli has been very armed this summer (Niccolò Manion is one example).

She has built a team that many believe is already worth high stakes in the Euroleague.

Here, too, there is prestige on the lines - Sergio Scariolo, returning to the artist in Europe.

To the two big favorites will be Valencia, which has won the factory four times, Locomotive Cuban and also LeBlue.

3.

There are also novelty - system.

The regular season will be extended, but the deciding stages will be very dangerous for the favorites.

In the new method, twenty factory groups are divided into two houses of ten groups.

The top eight will advance to the playoffs.

The regular season will include no less than 18 games.

The thing is that from a situation where there are a lot of opportunities to fix, it is reversed - from the quarterfinals to the finals there will be no series, but one game at each stage.

The possibility of the factory final being part of the Euroleague Final Four is also being considered.
