Tiktukno: summary of today's events in sports, 22.11 (Sport1)
Maccabi Tel Aviv will meet Olympiakos tonight (Tuesday, 21:05) at Menorah Hall as part of the ninth round of the Euroleague.
The Yellows come to the game from the middle of the table with four wins and four losses, compared to their hot rival who is ranked in second place with only six wins and two losses.
In Maccabi Tel Aviv, there is great vigilance for the match, when the club knows that the current game may be a turning point for the better for them if they win it, and a negative road sign if they lose and record their fourth loss in a row in Europe.
"Olympiakos is very strong, but we are Maccabi and we have expectations when we play at home in front of our crowd. This is the Euroleague, this is the challenge and we are looking forward to it," said John DiBartholomew before the match.
From a professional point of view, the yellows will try to disrupt the movement of the ball of the Greek opponent, when the professional team knows that it is very difficult to slow down the big star of the reds - the Bulgarian Sasha Vezenkov, who leads the race for the title of MVP.
However, Maccabi Tel Aviv will try to prevent him from getting eager.
"If we also absorb 90 points from them, it will be very difficult to impossible for us to win," said the team, "their defense is such that it will not allow us to develop our game easily, we will have to win this game defensively."

"We're a new team, and we're getting better every day," Roman Sorkin commented on the game.
"We are looking to take this step, this progress in order to be at the top. We come to every game with the intention of winning and we also come to this game to win."
