A wonderful achievement for Nes Ziona: The modest team advanced today (Friday) to the finals of the European Cup, the second most important enterprise of FIBA, after beating the Russian Pharma Pharm 80:81, the favorite to go all the way to the title, in a dramatic and nerve-wracking game in Elijah's hand. The game's great hero - Less than 24 hours after the death of his good friend Terence Clark, a Kentucky player, he had a great future ahead of him until he lost his life in a fatal car accident.

Selden sniped 24 points and sealed the big win basket, with a hard three that gave the advantage Ness Ziona after long minutes of tension with less than 10 seconds left on the clock.Ness Ziona's defense managed to stop the Russians in the last race, celebrated the exciting immigration to the final, and wait for the final on Sunday where it will meet the winner between Romanian Urda and Polish Stal.

It was an impressive Ness Ziona close-range game, led by captain and sergeant Tal Dan, who came up to play despite a hand injury, cut his head and needed stitches in the first half, but fought all the way to the final.

Patrick Miller added 15 points for the winner, Nimrod Levy contributed 14 and Jerome Myensi finished with 10.

the progress of the game

Tal Dan started with a five with a bandage despite the injury, and seemed full of energy in the first minutes, marching Ness Ziona to a 10:18 advantage.

Joshkevicius sniped two threes for the Russians, but Ness Ziona's control continued, and the difference reached double digits, 10:20, with four minutes left in the quarter.

The Russians threw more and more shots from outside the arc, but Ness Ziona wrote the pace, and together with Minsi and Miller finished the quarter with a

21:28

advantage

.

The second quarter opened with a flood of threes by the Russians, led by Grigoriev, which helped them shrink to just minus three, 30:27.

Mainsi and Selden kept Ness Ziona in the lead, and a series of good actions by Nimrod Levy, set a record difference for the host, 30:41.

But then the Russians tightened the defense, made a 0:12 run with the help of a technical foul by Brad Greenberg and passed the advantage to them.
