Hapoel Jerusalem's season depends on the question: How important will it be for Ankara to win?
The Reds must win (19:30, 5 plus) in Limoges to get into the top 16 of the Champions League, but that will not be enough if the Turks do not beat Igoka in the corresponding game.
On the plaguing plague of injuries (in Ankara), its genuine interest in helping Israelis and the long preparation of Jerusalem for the French

Does not depend only on himself.

Apparently, not much needs to happen for Hapoel Jerusalem to make it to the top 16 of the Champions League tonight (Tuesday, 19:30, 5 plus).
Its own away win in Limoges, plus a home win by Turk Telecom Ankara over Igokea - and the Reds inside.
Still, the very fact that the Israeli trophy holder reaches the lockout cycle when her future is not guaranteed, and especially when he is not in her hands and she is not dependent on herself, is not normal for her.
In Dainius Adumatis' first game on the lines at the European factory, he will already be dealing with this complex situation.
Ankara, the one that won in Jerusalem two weeks ago, is also the only one that can save Jerusalem.
And the main question is how much the Turks intend to take their game seriously, having already secured the ticket to the next stage.
On the one hand, beyond the natural sporting desire, they have a clear interest in winning - to win first place in the third house, and not go down to second place.
If they do, they will be placed next with two teams that finished as runners-up, and only with one head of house.
How significant is this?
It is not clear.
The problem is that Ankara has been plagued by injuries for a long time.
"I am very proud of this team, because we have been performing with seven or eight players in the last two months, and whoever is healthy, has had to play 35 and even 40 minutes," coach Burak Gran explained after the victory at the arena.

Three days ago, Ankara defeated Bachashir 88: 101 in the Turkish league, with its leading stars barely coming off the field: Nick Johnson (20 points and 14 assists) played 38 minutes, Kyle Wilcher (29 points, 13-9 For three) partner for 33 minutes, and both Jan Corkmaz and Sam Decker got 31 and 29 minutes respectively.
Gran had three poster boys on the roster, and each received a maximum of one minute of play from her.
But as mentioned, even before the squinting to Turkey, Jerusalem will have to do the work itself.
Limoges, which will host it, is the only one in House C that has already been practically eliminated and will part ways with the Champions League tonight.
Jerusalem had nine days to prepare for this game, and it will get back Adam Ariel, who has recovered from an injury.
"This is the most important game we have had this season so far," admitted assistant coach Jonathan Alon.
"In the nine days we had to train, we worked on designing our game, with the new method of defense and attack, and at a fairly early stage we started concentrating on Limoges. The French have two key players we need to stop, Philippe Scrub and Jerry Botsale, along with an assisting team that scores threes. "We need to know how to neutralize the key players and control the complements. We will try to play fast, with our basketball, and dictate the pace and nature of the game."
