"What will happen, we can not win quietly?", Said in frustration at Hapoel Tel Aviv after the huge 89:95 last night (Monday) in the arena over Hapoel Jerusalem which was a big step for them in the escape struggles from the bottom.
The Reds provided a tremendous game in the capital, but lost during the first half James Young who went down to the locker room groaning in pain.
The initial diagnosis of the medical staff was that the player suffers from a strong groin strain, but he will undergo extensive tests during the day and the team hopes that he did not tear the impact and will be forced to be absent for an extended period.
Tyrrick Jones, who was also injured, suffered a groin injury and will also be tested today to rule out a more serious injury.
2. And back to the game.
Danny Franco is proud of the excellent ability of his players: "It's a great victory for the team," the coach said after the game, "We came here with a new team once again with a team that is not the most coordinated. We played exceptionally well in the first half and started losing soldiers. The youngsters, fighters with a lot of team spirit and mostly 300 soldiers came in the stands.It has been two games that there is a large crowd behind this club that gives the players the little bit that we were missing in a few games before.
"We can rejoice in the cohesion we have shown, in the fighting, in the struggle. I think we have represented the spirit of Hapoel Tel Aviv with dignity. It is one struggle from a long war, we are still in a place that is very dangerous in the table and the wisdom is to remain modest. I am very proud of everyone's performance. ".
The red coach also commented on the acquisition of Paul Stoll who made his debut: "I was looking for something closest to Brian Tolbert I had in Holon in the cup season, that all these years it was this crazy gunner who became the coordinator, the responsible adult and now knows from above his age to bring the experience to the field and look for other players. "To come and be there in the last minutes when Khim Madar and Bar Timor are already falling off their feet. This is what I expect from him and he brought it, seeing that he is not connected yet and that he is not yet in pace, I believe he will be better later."
3. Justin Tillman, who excelled with 37 points in a great game, shared from a personal angle: "I lost both my parents last year after falling ill in Corona and did not know if I would play basketball this year, I was injured and moved teams. Now I am happy and blessed to be part of Hapoel Tel Aviv and be In a country I love so much. "
