First win of the season.
Hapoel Holon appeared this evening (Wednesday) for the first game as reigning champion and had no difficulty beating Hapoel Galil Alyion 79:91 on the way to the semi-final stage of the Winner Cup.
Hapoel Holon's coach, Guy Godes, summed up the game: "For him, every game in the preseason is an opportunity to learn about ourselves as a team and to understand what kind of fitness we are in."
Goodes continued: "Our third quarter was good and opened the difference, in the last quarter with only seven rotation players we fell off our feet.
The personal fitness of some players is still not where they should be, but we continue to improve."
"It's important for us to push ourselves now to get into personal and team shape.
We are still learning the team and the players are learning each other.'

The coach of the champion referred to the injuries of CJ Harris, who slipped on a sticker on the parquet and was taken to the hospital for an MRI: "I didn't see what happened and if it was because of the stickers, but players get injured from these things and these are things that need to be checked.
If the injury is serious, it is very bad for him because Harris is a reputed player.'
The coach of Hapoel Galil Oliion, Barak Peleg, shared at the end: "We were short-staffed today, but that's no excuse."
I'm not happy with the defense we showed today.
We treat this game as a preparation game, we still have a lot of preparation and this game helps us examine where we are at the moment.'
