Last night (Sunday), Maccabi Tel Aviv qualified for the final of the 2020 Winner's Cup after a comfortable victory over Maccabi Rishon Lezion 72:92 in the semifinals over Maccabi Tel Aviv and will meet Hapoel Holon in the battle for the first title of the season.
Yannis Sapropoulos' team opened a gap of almost 30 points ahead during the first half and ended the game, but the big drama occurred in the second half.
The Yellows started the half badly, and saw how Rishon Lezion completes a 10:26 run, reducing to 68:59 near the end of the third quarter and Lianis Sapropoulos is tired.
He started scolding the bench players, took a timeout and screamed at Max Heidegger, the new citizen who first got minutes of play in the center position and actually recorded a positive game with 12 points, on a series of fouls and ball losses.
"You're supposed to run the game, what do you think you're doing?" Sapropoulos told him firmly, then criticized the bench players for their decisions, tossed the drawing board on the floor and abandoned the timeout.
He then dismantled a crowd of players and sent them to the floor.
The move stopped the momentum of the Oranges and ended the game.
"It's okay for me, these things happen. It came to me because I did not do what I say to do. The coach wants my best and the team's best, so do what needs to be done," Heidegger said at the end of the game about what happened, "This is the first game I got real minutes, I "Satisfied with that, there are many things I can improve on, organize our attack, I know the coach wants more than me, I am satisfied with what is happening, I feel more comfortable every week."
Ante Žižić, who recorded a very good game with 16 points and 10 rebounds, also commented on what happened, "We needed this time-out, he knows we can play better, he wanted to wake us up. We did not come in the third quarter in that It's the way we came in at the start of the game, but I think we responded and finished the game very well. "
"Yannis was very smiling at the end, but they would not think it was a kind of show," said one of the Maccabi men at the end of the game. "He has already seen how this game gets complicated and this is the last thing we need. He was really angry at the players' attitude. "Players are disrespectful, go out for a three-on-one burst and throw nowhere, he's tired of it."

Initiated style-style anger or loss of temper?

But that was not the end of the dramas last night for the Yellows.
During the second quarter there was a confrontation between Tyler Dorsey and Rishon Lezion coach Guy Goodes.
The American guard, who scored 16 points in the game, threw the ball at the feet of the former coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv who approached him, and between the two began a lawsuit, at the end of which Goodes received a technical foul.
Dorsey's dubious moves did not end there: the player received two unsportsmanlike offenses for ugly fouls on Golan Gut, was sent off during the second half and hissed a curse on the way to the locker room.
At the end of the game, after an inquiry with the player and the people of Rishon Lezion, the people of Maccabi Tel Aviv approached Dorsey, talked to him and the player apologized to Goodes, while Yannis Sapropoulos also publicly apologized for the player's behavior.
"What Tyler did is not acceptable at any level," Maccabi Tel Aviv said of the player, "You do not behave like this towards anyone. If he behaves like this again in the future, we will not go over it on the agenda anymore."
On the positive side were Scotty Wilbkin who sniped 22 points and added 7 assists, and as mentioned Zizic who finished with a double double and looked very active.
The chin has lost about 4 kilograms since joining the team, and Maccabi is very satisfied with his work.
"It's still a new team and we haven't played enough warm-up games, and only six Euroleague games. We're still working on the chemistry," the Croatian center said, adding to his defensive problems: "Sometimes it's a bit difficult defending against the guards, I feel better in every game, if you compare "This game for my first game I do a much better job now. I did not play half a year before I came here, it is a different pace for basketball, everything is different. I still need time to adapt, game after game is easier for me."
By the way, Žižić referred to the level in the Israeli league and claimed that these games could have helped the team before the start of the season: "The Israeli league is a quality league but different from the Euroleague, more small ball, more runners, but there are good teams and it can definitely prepare us for the Euroleague "If we had played this tournament before the Euroleague, maybe it would have been easier for us in the Euroleague."
