Introduction: Strasbourg will not make life easy for Holon Israel today

2022-03-25T11:58:53.807Z


With an experienced Finnish coach on the lines, quality foreigners, ex-Maccabi Tel Aviv and high ability outside the arc, the French are a high hurdle • Past encounters tend in favor of Guy Goodes' team


The one that separates Hapoel Holon from the Final Four of the Champions League, which will be held in Bilbao, is the French city of Strasbourg.

A team that reached the semi-finals of the factory last season.

On paper, this is not a simple rival, but Holon's home advantage in the series (better than 3) is very significant.

The two teams already met two seasons ago in the early house and Holon won twice, but did not advance a step.

This season Strasbourg went through the early stages from second place with a 3: 3 balance.

She also passed the play-off stage with 0: 2 in the series over PAOK Thessaloniki and advanced to the quarterfinals from second place in the top 16, again with a 3: 3 balance, with the home team winning the strong Tenerife.

A tough opponent is waiting for Guy Goodes on the lines.

The young Finn Lassie Toby is considered one of the rising forces in the field of training in Europe.

He is the assistant coach of the Finnish national team and is destined to become the head coach soon.

Cameron Taylor, who started the season at Maccabi Tel Aviv, did not make his debut at the highest levels of the continent.

He was loaned to Strasbourg where he supplied the goods and became dominant.

The main player of the French is Diandra Lansdouan, who plays in both guard positions.

In the coordinator's position is Puerto Rican Jordan Howard.

Czech junior forward Yaromir Bohachik, who plays for Nano Ginzburg, is also a significant player in the lineup, but has not played for a month due to injury.

The 23-year-old forward, Matt Mitchell, impresses in his first professional season with 11 points and 5 rebounds in the factory.

The interiors are relatively sparse with Yannis Maureen and the experienced Nigerian Ike Udano.

Two important local players are forward Leopold Cavalieri and guard Jean Baptiste Mayla.

Strasbourg is ranked seventh in the French league.

The impressive statistic that Holon will have to pay attention to is the shooting ability outside the arc - 40 percent for three in the Champions League.
