Hi Guy: Holon defeated Besiktas and forced a third game in Play In | Israel today

2022-01-12T19:40:45.890Z


Thanks to a huge three by Guy Panini, the Purples erased a minus 16 in Guy Goodes' debut, defeated the Turks 70:72 away and tied the series at 1: 1


The shock helped.

Hapoel Holon survived the relegation from the FIBA ​​Champions Cup, with an impressive victory over Besiktas in Istanbul - 70:72.

Guy Goodes made a big debut on the lines, and Holon compares the play-in series to 1: 1.

The decision on the promotion to the top 16 moves to next week, in Israel.

The director of the series wrote the same script for Game 1, but in reverse.

Last week, Guy Pnini scored a three that gave Holon an advantage and was supposed to be a winning basket, but then came Isaiah Whitehead (who did not play today due to injury), who responded with his own basket and won the game for the Turks (72:73).

Tonight it was again a three by Pnini - who if not he - 18 seconds to go, which raised Holon to 70:71.

Again the Turks went out for a last attack, but this time the reaction was different.

Holon's defense worked well and forced Kanan Sifahi to lose a ball.

Two dramas, and each one ends in an away win.

Goodes, who replaced Maurizio Buscalia, has already seen the series and the season is over.

After a quarter and a half, the hosts led 15:31, controlling the offensive rebound and scoring well from outside the arc, while Holon looked weak and lost.

But then Adam Smith arrived, and with his own hands brought his team back to business by the half and gave it confidence.

Interestingly, however, Smith barely saw minutes in the second half because Goodes saw other successful tactical needs.

In this crucial half, Holon presented a significant defensive upgrade.

After a first half in which she absorbed 44 points, she absorbed in the second only 26.

Also, Chris Johnson (as usual) was excellent, Joe Ragland came back to himself after a bad first half, and the X Factor was Niv Misgav.

Holon turned the game around and went up to 55:62, Sifahi still brought back the Turks, but as mentioned - failed in the last action.

Even before the decision in Holon against Besiktas, another decision game awaits the Purples.

On Sunday, they meet Hapoel Haifa in the quarterfinals of the cup.
