Hapoel Eilat and Hapoel Tel Aviv met yesterday.
Eilat achieved its seventh consecutive victory and Ariel Beit Halachmi, who was fired from Hapoel Tel Aviv last season, stood on its lines.
The victory over Hapoel Tel Aviv was symbolic.
One failure in red does not yet make a coach unsuccessful.
What did not work for Beit Halachmi at Hapoel Tel Aviv is going great in Eilat. You can not even call it a comeback because the veteran coach was successful before the short period in the red and now also continues to be successful after it.
Beit Halachmi put together an excellent team in Eilat with a rare 4-of-4 hit in the selection of foreign players.
Eilat in a dream period.
The longest winning streak in the league (7), a lethal offensive ability with an average of 106 points in the last two games and in its winning streak has not dropped from 89 points and scored 74 threes together.
Beit Halachmi with almost 460 league games (the fifth amount for a coach of all time) has been in business for over 20 years.
Whoever was elected coach in March wants to be there in April and especially in June.
Is Beit Halachmi European champion twice with the reserve on the way to the great achievement of his career in the league.
2. Hunger is the name of the game.
The secret of Hapoel Haifa's success is the desire to prove.
The double victory in the derby is another sign of the excellent return of the Reds from Carmel to the first league and the staff of Haifa is full of those who want to show what they know.
We already have a comeback this season - Karem Mashur.
Keenan Evans, who comes from the league in Bosnia, wants to prove that he has a place in the top of Europe.
Amit Simhon, after a season in which he was released from Holon and did not acclimatize to it, wants to show that he is still a leading Israeli.
Jason Seagers, last season with the team in the second division, wants to prove that even at the age of 35 he is still at the top levels.
Coach Elad Hussein returned to the Premier League after a few years in order to show his place there.
When everyone is so hungry to succeed something good must come out of it.
This is how you build a successful team.
We have a similar example in the Euroleague - it is called Bayern Munich.
3. Although Hapoel Tel Aviv is still strong in the battle between Maccabi Haifa and Nahariya, they are marked as favorites to be relegated at the end of the season.
Despite this, Haifa and Nahariya are not twins.
There is a difference and not just because Haifa has more victory.
Haifa looks more competitive in recent games, is more connected and stable and is expected to receive quality reinforcement in the form of Devin Marble.
On the other hand, Nahariya is in a very bad situation.
Her dilapidated staff added more problems.
She lost Mackenzie Moore due to injury.
Joe Alexander was released and no replacement was brought.
Or Leumi has not played in the last two games due to injury and its Israeli squad included Ziv Ben Zvi when the other players were in the second league last season.
Plus, when she had to bring in a foreign guard instead of Moore, she's bringing in a chin - Sean Jones.
Because of all this one can say: right now, Nahariya is almost certainly going down.
Haifa will still give a fight.
