Victory is a value, not a consideration
Maccabi Tel Aviv came up with a clean slate for its last game, focused on victory, and left the calculator aside. Leave a stench and dirt that has never been erased, and not only that.
When a team embarks on a new and successful path, it must not be touched, lest it be spoiled.
And the fact that there are rumors about the throwing of the last games of Real Madrid and Anadolu Efes, should only strengthen Maccabi.
When everyone around Macambans, Maccabi is in the best form in Europe, and goes for the trophy.
To win it, you will have to beat all the good ones anyway.
And in any case it is impossible to know who is better.
It is advisable to maintain the deterrent effect, which others will fear.
The playoff
method The method of the Euroleague quarter-final series benefits the homeless underdog.
Maccabi will play two consecutive games in Madrid, which it has only won in the last month.
The pressure is on the favorite, and Real is full of problems, injuries, and certainly not six for the new and threatening Maccabi.
The goal is to come back with a split, 1: 1, then take advantage of the renewed confidence of the fans who will make the hall go crazy, take the two games in the hands of Elijah and end the series in Tel Aviv.

This is exactly the format in which David Blatt's Maccabi advanced to its last two finals, in 2011 against Vitoria, and in 2014 against Milan.
In recent victories in Athens and Barcelona she has gathered confidence and renewed faith, remembering how to win outside.
just on time.
What we did in 2014
this season is really starting to remind us of 2014. An extreme passage invests in the mud of the deep pit she dug for herself, until the flag was hoisted at the top of the mountain.
From a tired and fake band, to a cool and stylish jazz band.
Nasu CSKA from that semi-final returned in the form of removing that CSKA along with the other two Russians - a move that kicked Maccabi up the table and brought the yellow color back to its face.
Basketball is a simple game.
The players are teenage kids, just give them a ball and they immediately return to age 12. The coach’s job is to release them into action and direct them, but not push, and certainly not limit them.
He needs to improve their personal fitness, and at the same time adapt the tactics to their talent, instead of forcing on them a method of play that he brought from home.

He tries to take out of them the joy of the game, to produce pleasure from sharing and participating, and must set clear goals and the path to them.
The change in the coach's position has become Maccabi this season, and together with the success of Hapoel Holon, it is possible to long for even 2004 - when the Israeli teams won the two senior titles in Europe.
We are on the map and we stay on the map, at least in basketball.
The new Histadrut The new
Maccabi can finally return to being a model for a healthy, happy, strong and competitive team in every game.
It's something it's almost always had, and disappeared after the last Euroleague win in 2014.
Now she will embark on a fascinating series that will stretch to the limit her talent, connection, courage and level of execution.
Whether you succeed or not, whether you win the trophy or are eliminated in the quarterfinals or at some point along the way - the current model must remain: insist on an Israeli coach, develop young Israelis, sign fewer foreigners, but quality and recognized, and long-term (six excellent enough ) That will create continuity for the audience and identification, and be based on fast and happy play.
If you stick to this model - it will also achieve.
And said Hallelujah.
