home again

After two years in France and after a long summer of tension, anticipation and excitement, last night (Monday) the Hapoel Tel Aviv fans got to watch their favorite team take the field again, with Tomer Ginat, who made a renewed debut in the red uniform, attracting the most attention of course.

Danny Franco's trainees displayed fluent basketball and tight defense, ran for burst attacks at every opportunity and enjoyed a great shooting evening by Ginat, who stood out with 16 points, on the way to an impressive 69:107 victory, and a ticket to the quarter-finals of the Winner Cup against Bnei Herzliya, in a replay of the cup final from last season.

The star of the evening shared at the end: "I was really excited at the beginning. It's great fun and I'm very happy about the victory. We have a long way to go and we'll work hard. We have a very talented team with a lot of potential that can do beautiful things this season."

The Reds marked the team defense as the target for last night's game, and the stopping of Diante Garrett in particular, as the main key to the contest, and so they did when the rival's star from the Curies was stopped at 12 points on only 25% from the field.

Hapoel Tel Aviv coach Danny Franco said at the end: "I take from the game the intensity and good defensive play in general.

In the first quarter we got a lot of points from the fouls we committed, but in the third quarter we kept excellently in the first minutes, and that opened the gap." About the Israeli who returned to the red uniform he said: "Ginat?

There aren't many Israelis with a presence like his."

Another player they were happy with was Jaylen Hurd, who came to the team on a temporary contract, and since then impressed greatly in the preseason games and was rewarded in the form of a contract extension, when last night the American-French forward contributed 13 points and 5 rebounds in only 19 minutes on the floor.

"'We like him very much, he is a young man who has not played in Europe and does not know the league unlike our other players, but he has been absorbed in a great way. He is very serious and works hard. He came here as a question mark and connected in a way that was difficult for us to give up on him. As the season progresses He will get better and better and we can earn here a very nice steal of this season," said Franco.
