With an official loss of a chance to qualify for the playoffs, tonight (Thursday, 21:05, live broadcast in Sports 5), Maccabi Tel Aviv will advance to the 28th round of the Euroleague when it hosts Spanish Valencia.
The Yellows come into the game with a streak of four losses and with only 10 wins from 25 games, knowing that only nine wins in nine games by the end of the season will guarantee them a place in the last eight.
The Israeli champions have not talked since the loss to CSKA Moscow about the promotion to the playoffs or the picture of the chances, but only about one thing - to stop the current losing streak. "We are not a team that belongs to the bottom of the table in the Euroleague," the club said yesterday The recent losses personally, and there will be no problem of readiness or seriousness. "
Sandy Cohen also agreed with this line ahead of the meeting against Valencia: "It was hard to accept this loss, but we fought hard, we came back from a big lag and we did not give up. That is the most important thing at this stage. We need to be more consistent for four quarters. So many losses in the gap Small in the season is something that can empty you mentally, it's a bitter pill. In the end the loss to CSKA gives me more motivation than anything else and I'm ready to play, and I'm sure everyone's ready.
I think we will be ready to play. "

Chris Jones said ahead of tonight's game that "we must not think about the previous games, we need to concentrate on ourselves and the small details. We need to improve the defense, because a good defense leads to a better attack. Against CSKA we allowed the attack to dictate our game instead of playing good defense "More and let our defensive strategy lead to easy points on offense."
