Just before the outbreak of the corona plague, Isaiah Miles signed for Shula, but failed to appear in the media even once before world basketball was shut down.
Only last night (Wednesday), with a fashionable ten-month delay, did the American finally get the opportunity to perform on the floor in the La Miller hall, but not in the French team uniform - but with Hapoel Holon.
"I was excited to get on the field because Shula has never seen me play here, and this was my chance to show myself," said Miles, who scored 14 points, including four threes (all in the second half), en route to a 71-89 victory that lifted the Purples to the top 16 in the league The champions.
"It's always fun to go back to where you were before, and on the way to the hall I got support from the fans. I still keep in touch with some of them."
On the achievement of his team, which went through a stage in the factory for the first time, the American said: "I am happy for my friends. We have worked hard and earned this achievement honestly. We enjoy playing together, and are already looking forward to the next stage."

" We proved we deserved to come up, "the Greek added." We played good basketball in a fateful game, moved the ball in and out, attacked the misses as we prepared in advance, knew how to deal with Shula's regional.
It was a big evening for us.
The guys can relax and celebrate with a bottle of beer, but my head is already in the Israeli league game in Haifa on Sunday. "
