Hapoel Jerusalem, although not list yesterday (Monday) at 80: 87 on Ironi Nahariya, and indeed one of the two opposing teams is weaker league, but the capital club take Meanwhile, the ability to win and hope to improve further.

"There is a baggage that goes with us after everything that has been and after all the changes that have been, but we are professionals and we have to put everything behind us and look to the future, because that is what matters. We have a lot more to play," said Adam Ariel. Outside the arc, "I feel good about myself and my shooting, but what matters is that we won. We did not play well and we will have to get better as a team and look better from game to game. We had a bit of a hard time working because we did not have many players in training, it's no secret We need to play better. "

Coach Dianius Adumatis also preferred to take the win mostly: "We had some injured and some players who were with the team, but overall the guys did a good job. It's easy to see players went through some more training and the energy was better. Our big problem was the defense, "We need to know how to play against such rivals.

Jerusalem is pleased with the new acquisition Stanton Kid who arrived in Israel six days ago and barely did a few training sessions with the team and already looks good and was an important part of the victory with 13 points and 5 rebounds in 25 minutes.

3. It

is still unclear at what time the game will take place on Saturday against Maccabi Rishon Lezion.

At first, the club tried to postpone the date of the game so that it would be possible to bring in more spectators than 300 fans, but the league administration clarified to the Reds that even so the board is full of games postponed due to the Corona and no further postponement will be possible.

Now the matter revolves around game time.

The league administration has already announced that the game is scheduled to start at 18:30, but the problem is that the Jerusalem municipality will only open the arena when Shabbat begins.

This means that this coming Saturday the hall will only open at 18:16.

The administration is trying to postpone the opening of the game to 20:00 and instead bring forward the meeting between Hapoel Holon and Hapoel Gilboa / Galil, but the northerners strongly refuse because they have two Shabbat-observant players (Banya Srur and Chen Kalfon).

All parties hope to reach an understanding within the next day or two.

Regardless of the time of the game, Ariel says that he is very excited for the return of the crowd to the arena: "I came to Jerusalem to play in front of our crowd, this is my dream, and here in the next game it happens. Any red crowd that enters I will be happy."
