After two years, Hapoel Jerusalem parted ways with the State Cup tonight (Thursday), when the Reds lost 90:84 to Hapoel Rishon Lezion. The group of Dainius Adumitis Dominated for long stretches, however in the final quarter the Oranges put up gear and left the holder far behind.
Jerusalem coach Adomitis spoke about the difficult feelings after the game was over. “It’s a big disappointment, I apologize to the fans,” said the Lithuanian. “We have a problem with the last posers, you can call it whatever you want, but I think the biggest problem is the rotation. Players get tired and then in the end make mistakes of lack of concentration.”
Then it was the turn of the happy man on the lines, Guy Goodes, Coach of Rishon Lezion. “Our preparation was amazing on a mental level as well, the players responded to the challenge,” Goodes said. “Without the physiotherapist who trained three or four players for this game this would not have happened.”
also Golan is good, Who excelled with 22 points, addressed the special moment. “It’s a team win with a lot of character,” the guard said. “Everyone understood that it was an important game in our career, important for the club and also for the fans. Things connected to me but I’m happier we won.”
