Yuval Sussman Thrower (Itzik Belnitsky)
The tenth round of the Winner Basket League comes to an end at this time, six days late, with Maccabi Tel Aviv hosting Hapoel Gilboa / Galil at Menora Hall. The game was supposed to take place last Saturday, but was postponed following the identification of a positive player for Corona at Real Madrid immediately after the Blancos’ game against the Yellows eight days ago.
The yellow-blues come into the match after almost a whole month in which they did not play in the local league – their last league game was in an 80: 101 victory over Hapoel Jerusalem on December 31. The champion, who comes with a 1: 6 balance, did not list Scotty Wilbkin, Omri Caspi, Tyler Dorsey and Angelo Cloiaro in the squad for the game, while the new purchasing player TJ Klein has not yet dressed either.
From the other side of the barricade, the Reds opened the season excellently with seven wins versus just three losses. However, their return from the corona lag was disappointing with a 78:77 loss to Maccabi Haifa, and now they will try to surprise and return to the winning track.
First quarter: 14:16 to Gilboa / Galil
Maccabi Tel Aviv quintet: Chris Jones, Yuval Sussman, Oz Blazer, Dragon Bender and Othello Hunter.
Gilboa / Galil Quintet: Yiftach Ziv, Joe Thomason, Amit Gershon, Kerry Belkshire and Jahiba Floyd.
The teams started the match with a shocking offensive ability, when it took almost three minutes for Kerry Blackshire to be the first to get on the board with points under the basket and an offense, which raised Gilboa to 0: 3. Maccabi looked quite confused in the first minutes and the first points were by Chris Jones, who scored twice from the line and saw on the other side Amit Gershon stitches a three that raised the visitors to 2: 6, Thomason buried another three and the Northerners already started to run away.
It took the Yellows 7 minutes to get into the game, but when it happened, it happened very quickly. The champion started playing and a 0:10 run ended with two points from Oz Blazer from the line, 9:12 to the host. Gilboa did not panic, Chen Kalfon who came up great from the bench led to a 2: 7, 14:16 run for Gilboa in the first quarter.
