In recent years, Hapoel Jerusalem has become one of the teams most associated with the FIBA Champions League. Last year, the Reds reached the finals of the tournament, but there they lost to the powerful Bonn. In the summer, the Reds strengthened significantly and it seemed that they were aiming to do it again, but the war of iron swords devoured The cards, the team moved their home games to Belgrade and the respected coach Aleksandar Djikic left.
But it seems that in the league itself they continue to greatly extend the team, and awarded it, for the second time in a row, the first place in the league's power index.
The reasons for the selection read: "The Hapoel Jerusalem game and Speedy Smith's winning basket against Perishri mark the beginning of a new era at the club, the ambitious and talented team of the new coach Ilias Kantsouris continued where it left off, and it seems that it took a step forward this season."
Compared to the Jerusalemites, the enthusiasm for Po'el Holon was not particularly great, and the Purples, who were defeated last week by the Spanish Murcia at the start of the second group stage, were placed 15th out of the 16 teams remaining in the factory.
One place above them is their opponent tonight (Tuesday) AAK Athens, who changed their coach this week.
