Mixed feelings at Hapoel Tel Aviv after the huge 75:93
yesterday (Wednesday) in a derby that narrowed the gap in the quarterfinals of the playoffs to 2: 1 and sent the series to a fourth game to be held at the Kvutzat Shlomo Hall on Sunday (21:00).
After the loss in Game 2, Idan Zalmanson said that nothing is finished yet and the series still depends on him and his friends who can turn the result around.
The chin, which has made a big comeback in the series, was also behind the talk.

"We have a team that is hard to break," Zalmanson said after the win.
"Even at 2-0 we did not think for a moment about the end of a season. We came to this game without James Young, we knew it would be very difficult, we knew there would be players who would have to rise. Jacob's injury spurred us even further. We faced ourselves first. "And we proved that we are a team with character. I do not know what will happen in the next games, but we will leave everything on the field, and fight. Nothing is over yet."

On the other hand, the team is very concerned about Jacoben Brown's injury.
The quarterback, who is suffering from a few injuries during his career and only in the last few days has concluded a new two-year contract, suffered a strong blow to his neck towards the end of the second quarter and had difficulty getting up.
The actor also felt pain extending to the leg area.
Hapoel Tel Aviv's team members immediately evacuated the player to Ichilov Hospital as they dragged him from the locker room to the ambulance while he was on a stretcher. After the game, coach Danny Franco traveled with him along with other staff members to visit him and demand his safety.
During the night, the player underwent CT and MRI examinations and the team fears that this is a serious injury.
It is estimated that Brown is not expected to play again this season, but are waiting for the test results to get a final answer.
"Jacoben is a tough player and if he shows such feelings of pain then something serious has probably happened," the team said.

Bar Timor shows wonderful ability in the entire series, and last night he surpassed even more and provided one of the greatest performances of an Israeli player in the playoffs in recent years.
At half-time he went into the treatment room to check on Jacoben's condition and when he saw his coach worried, he told him, 'Leave him alone, I'm taking the game on me.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
