CJ Harris: "Feels lucky to be able to play again"
The Hapoel Holon player was moved after participating for the first time this season with the Purples in the victory over Hapoel B.S./Dimona: "Physically, I still don't feel that I'm 100 percent back to myself"
Just before the start of the play-in series in the FIBA Champions League against Igokaa, Hapoel Holon opened the new year last night (Sunday) with a nice home victory at the Toto Hall 77:92 over Hapoel Beer Sheva/Dimona, and achieved its third league victory in a row.
The visitor from the capital of the Negev came to the match in good shape after two impressive victories over Hapoel Jerusalem and Nes Ziona, but the champion was not moved and dictated the pace from the opening with a dominant first quarter that ended with a score of 13:26 in her favor and heralded the continuation.
"In terms of energy, we started the new year very determined," Guy Goudes noted at the end.
"It was translated in the beginning and in the defense and then also in the attack. We started the game with our good first quarter, everyone who came up to play entered the game before the defense and we also managed to divide the minutes which was important for us. For me the most important way is to constantly look ahead, to the new year and not to What we did last year"
The club expressed satisfaction with the performance of CJ Harris, who made his debut for the season in the team's uniform after a long recovery from the injury he suffered in the Winner's Cup that sidelined him for three months.
The American guard looked wonderful and contributed 16 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds in 20 minutes of play, and managed to forget the departure of Eric Green.
"I feel great and happy to be back playing, I went through a lot of work on the way to this moment and I thank everyone who helped me along the way. I feel lucky to be able to play again. Physically, I still don't feel like I'm 100 percent back, so I still have a lot of hard work to do." Harris shared his feelings at the end.
Hayden Dalton, who was not registered in the last two rounds, returned to the squad last night due to the injury of Marvin Jones and produced his best game in Israel with 25 points and 8 rebounds in 32 minutes and received compliments from the team and I, the team, and he did it in front of his family who came especially to Israel to visit and watch in a close game.
Now the Purples will be able to turn to their main task this week, the first game in the play-in series in the FIBA Champions League against the Bosnian Igoca, with whom they will host at the Toto Hall in about three days.
