Ness Ziona had every reason to give up participating in this year's European enterprise.
FIBA does not cover costs for teams playing in the European Cup, in the Corona era the difficulties and costs are even higher and a few weeks ago it even lost Nimrod Levy, one of its senior players, due to injury.
But instead of making assumptions for themselves, the Oranges took up the challenge with both hands and traveled to the bubble in Wloclawek in order to qualify from the third house to the quarterfinals.
Tonight (Tuesday) they opened the European Week on the right foot and defeated Sporting Lisbon 81:86.
It really was not easy.
The Portuguese, who lead the local league with a perfect balance, pressed and maintained excellently and also led in the last quarter thanks to Trebonta Williams (22 points, we will not be surprised if he comes to Israel in the coming years), but Patrick Miller (17), Jerome Mainsy with great fighting and Tal Dan (15 points, 6 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals) set her up for victory in the opening game.
On Thursday, Brad Greenberg's team will meet Hungarian Solonoki and on Friday, Polish Ostrov.
Both teams will face off later tonight.
Scorers for Nes Ziona:
Selden and Miller 17 each, Dan 15, Minsi 13, Carrera 12, Angola 10, Lemond 2. Yes Partner: Abu, Cornelius and Trotsky.
