Satisfaction among the Yellows after the 91:97 victory over Hapoel Holon, which advanced them to the final of the Winner Cup • The guard, who made his debut with a double double, received compliments: "He helps Wade Baldwin and makes the game easier for us, their combination is special"


Last night (Thursday) Maccabi Tel Aviv recorded its best game so far in the preparation when it beat Hapoel Holon 91:97 and advanced to the final of the Winner Cup.

Lorenzo Brown stood out in the debut game with a double-double of 13 points and 12 assists and led the Yellows in double figures on the way to the finals of the tournament, where Hapoel Tel Aviv is waiting for a hot city derby to be held on 10.23.

"I think it was a good game for us in general, maybe our best in the preparation so far. Except for the last quarter when we got out of rhythm and there was a feeling that maybe the game was over, something that shouldn't happen and I take it on myself," noted Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Oded Ketch.

The club really liked to see the smooth integration of the newly acquired guard, Lorenzo Brown, who is in the European Championship with the Spanish national team, and last night he made his debut in the yellow uniform and immediately showed his abilities with excellent game management and a double-double of 13 points and 12 assists. 

"As you saw, he is another real center on the court. I think he gave 12 assists. Not necessarily overly complicated passes, but I think he simplifies the game. It helps Wade, who until now was the only ball carrier and the game was on him. It will help both of them play together Ketch added.

In the club, the control in the fight for the rebounds was noted positively as the one that decided the game and manifested itself in 32 yellow rebounds, 17 of which were in the attack, a figure that produced 15 points for the yellows from a second chance.

"Rebounding balls is a key element for winning games. A team that does it well wins more possessions. It puts pressure on the defense, it's something we can do, we want to put emphasis on it and fix it. We just want to do it better and better," he concluded catch

"We are happy, but not satisfied yet. The process will take time and we are all enjoying the journey," summed up the victory Alex Poithers, who finished as his team's leading scorer with 17 points and 11 rebounds.

Now the team will begin to prepare for the opening game of the Euroleague on Thursday next week, when Zalgiris will come to Menorah Hall.
