Comments of Maccabi Tel Aviv after Zalgiris Kaunas (Danny Maron)

Even before Danny Abdia is selected in the NBA Draft, Maccabi Tel Aviv will continue its Euroleague season tonight (Wednesday, 19:30, live on Sports 5) when it will be hosted at the Vision Center in Madrid by Real Madrid.

The Yellows come into the game with a balance of three wins against five losses, with another game ahead of them this week in Spain, on Friday against Valencia.

Othello Hunter, who has been absent from the team's recent games, is expected to play with a special mask fitted in front of him.

Maccabi come to the game after not beating Real Madrid for three years and Madrid have not come out with a win for more than a decade.

However, the feeling among the club members is that in light of the improvement in the recent Euroleague games, it is possible to come out with a victory from the difficult hall.

"We love the underdog position," the team admitted last night.

This morning the team will hold the concluding training ahead of the match.

"We will be ready for this game, Real is a very good team, a team that is very difficult to win," admitted Angelo Cloiaro. "Like any Euroleague game it is difficult, especially against Real, especially in Spain, we need to be more prepared. I think we made a significant step in the day Last Thursday, and we want to keep it going. "

The forward added on the matchup against the huge Walter Tavares: "Tavares is a great player, you have to get him out of the ring, move him a bit, but he is who he is, he is huge, over 2.20. .

Oz Blazer added that the team is not looking at the next game against Valencia at all, and thanked for the excitement that exists: "It's in our preparation, we did not talk about the second game, we know we are flying and after this game another game, we have to come win the first game, it "It could be a huge victory for us that can bounce us to where we want to be. This season has many first times for me, it's a milestone for me this game, another game I will do everything I can to win. I played against NBA teams and the Israeli team."

How will Maccabi Tel Aviv deal with its air umbrella this time?

One of the big differences in Maccabi Tel Aviv between victories and losses this season is shooting from the outside.

Although the Yellows also recorded good shooting evenings in losses against Olympiacos and Zero Andulo, the gap still exists.

In victories, the team scores 10.6 threes per game at 41 percent, and at losses 8.8 threes at 31 percent.

"Honestly, shooting from the outside always helps, but what matters is the defense. Against zero we scored excellently and lost, against Zalgiris we scored and won, even if we did not score well there we would win thanks to the defense," explained Cloiaro. That is the big difference from last year. "

Oz Blazer, who finished this week on the eve of a bad shot against Bnei Herzliya, added: "Sometimes there are days like this in the attack, I'm glad the important shot in overtime came in. Yannis told me to keep throwing with confidence, glad I didn't go on the offensive either. "Ours, but we have other capabilities, but when the bullets come in, it's very difficult to stop us."
