1. In the city of Nahariya, they were very satisfied with the 86: 91 last night about Ness Ziona municipalities who first raised them in their history for the National Cup final where they will meet Hapoel Jerusalem on Thursday in an attempt to make history and win the bachelor's degree for the humble club from the north.

"It was fun to be in this game, to fight for the club, for the city, for yourself and to win," he said with satisfaction with Me Segev, who gave another good game and continued his excellent season. "Our coaches and a lot of the players have already won the titles and our transcendence in the game is the result of this experience. ".

Ahead of the final, the chin added: "It's no secret that Jerusalem has a bigger budget group, everyone knows it, but in games like that the money doesn't speak. It's a given game and we will come prepared and ready to do our job."

2. Alongside the joy and contentment of the final, the club dealt with the exclusion of Jarl McNeill who pushed Tal Dan hard in the closing minutes and may also be excluded from the final game.

According to the rules of the Basketball Association, the player will automatically be fined NIS 12,000 and, according to the plaintiff's decision, will face trial tomorrow (11:00). The hearing will be held at the Basketball Association Tribunal as of Wednesday and the decision will affect the final game. In addition, Tal Dan will face trial and will also be automatically removed from his team's upcoming league match against Hapoel Jerusalem as this has been his second exclusion this season

Coach Danny Franco was upset at the finish and attacked Tal Dan's behavior, which he said provoked his players during the game, claiming McNeill should not be kept away, but perhaps whistled for an unsportsmanlike offense. "If we do not exercise judgment, then why do judges, why coaches, players need it? I hope this injustice does not haunt us for Thursday."

As is evident in Hapoel Jerusalem, they do not intend to demand McNeill's exclusion and make every plaintiff's decision.

3. The judging team responded to the incident and criticism in a statement released by the Jury immediately after the game: "Tonight we ran the game between the teams of Nes Ziona and Ironi Nahariya as part of the National Cup and would like to report: 1:21 to the end of the game, after a whistle for the offense and before the penalty shots are played, against the player Ness Ziona number 6, Tal Dan, faces Nahariya player 7, Dominic Waters.

Nahariya's No. 22 player, Jarl McNeill, reached the scene of the incident and pushed hard and with both hands to Tal Dan who fell to the ground. Immediately, players from both teams gathered at the event, the three judges separating the hawks. After a consultation, we also checked the incident on a monitor, in accordance with the constitution, and the two players who resorted to violence were removed. "

Shortly after the whistle, the game form and player cards were transferred to the Basketball Association's offices to continue their disciplinary treatment.
