Hapoel Jerusalem has been operating since the start of the season with an atmosphere of crisis hovering around it.
The two losses at the start of the Premier League, along with the unconvincing ability in the Champions League and the difficulty in reaching a high review created these feelings.
The club is looking for a player who will upgrade the offensive aspect, but in the meantime they count a fifth win in a row in all the frames - and last night (Saturday) they even crossed the 85 points mark for the first time, when they defeated Hapoel Galil Alyon 70:89.
Coach Aleksandar Dzikic knows that his life will be simple and good on the days when his guards arrive focused and focused, and that's what happened yesterday: Speedy Smith and Levi Randolph combined 8 of 13 for threes, with the center standing out especially with 12 assists, and the interior players didn't encounter special difficulties either , with Zach Hankins (13 rebounds) and Marcus Myris hitting 12-of-16 for two.
"All the best to Galil who managed to get back into the game several times per game, more than I wanted, but the most important thing is that in the end we won," Dzikic said.
"We had very good minutes, and also some that we need to talk about. We have moments when we are focused at a high level, full of energy and playing together, and then - for some unknown reason - we drop from a thousand to zero. Maybe it's fatigue, but I'm not sure. If there is Something I'm very demanding about, that's it."

The Serbian also referred to the encouraging display of Smith, who, despite the cloud surrounding his ability, led the Jerusalem scorers with 19 points (five three-pointers), and in addition to the 12 assists, he also picked up seven rebounds: "It was one of Speedy's best games of the season. He didn't hesitate, And also as a team we were not hesitant. He made the right decisions and he needed this kind of game. We'll see how he will be later on."
Jerusalem now has a week of rest until the next game, next Sunday at Yad Eliyahu against Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The Yellows will appear in three games until then (tonight in the derby against Hapoel Tel Aviv, and then in the double round in the Euroleague against Olympiakos at home and the Red Star in Belgrade).
"It's not an advantage for us," claimed Džikić.
"Maccabi has a super deep squad, and they will find the players who will face us at the highest level."
Smith concluded: "We had a great week in training, and we translated that into the game. We played together, and it was a team win.
A new member, Omer Arian, only 19 years old, joined the professional team of Jerusalem, who will deal with building infrastructure for the scouting system.
