Games between Hapoel Holon and Hapoel Jerusalem always provide tension and wonderful stories, and the opening game of the season today (Friday) was no different, when the Purple beat the Red 76:80.
The coach of Hapoel Holon, Guy Godes, summed up the game: "For him, we came away with a victory in the opening game of the season against a good and trained opponent. It's not easy to have such an opponent in the first game, certainly not for the players for whom it was their first game in front of our amazing crowd."
Goodes continued: "It took us a while to get into the rhythm, but in the second half we knew how to make adjustments and come out with the upper hand. What's important at the beginning of the season is to collect victories and I'm glad we did it against a great team.
"Capacity is a process of getting in shape. We understood that the preparation tournament abroad would get us in shape and that helped us pass the fourth quarter of Jerusalem.
Eric Green?
Quality of player and impressive abilities.
His entrance is smooth because he knows his basket of abilities."

Hapoel Jerusalem's coach, Alexander Dzikic, also summed up the game: "I want us to do a better job to stop the opponent's goals in defense.
"I like our team approach, we used our offenses correctly. Itay Segev was hurt in the head and couldn't continue playing, that's why we brought in Gilad Levi."
About Noam Dovart, Dzikich said: "He played great offensively. We will continue to give him the stage and we have a lot of expectations from him. When we built the team, we left a significant place for him."
