The Jerusalem Hapoel Club was not among the four strongest teams (BIBL). This was due to the poorly played fourth quarter, which Dainius Adomaitis’s students lost even at 11:29.
The performance recalled former coach Oded Kattash’s farewell confrontation with Ankara’s Turk Telekom team, when Hapoel lost an important FIBA Champions League battle at home 77:78 and completed the fourth quarter at 11:23.
“There are no unimportant games in basketball,” D. Adomaitis said after the pancake. – You have to fight for victory every night. Today, the fate of the match was decided in half, which I don’t like. In the last quarter, it is necessary to show the best and most intelligent game, but we suffer from exhausted energy. This was due to attack and rotation problems. The pitches did not fall, although they were not bad. We don’t always make the right decisions in attack. The bottom line is that we lost 29 points in the fourth quarter. Defense energy has been falling and falling. “
In Israel, D. Adomaitis will have to adapt to an unusual basketball rule: there must always be a basketball player with an Israeli passport on the court. Hapoel’s rotation was further eroded by Adam Ariel’s trauma.
“It just came to our notice then. I believe in hard work and good exercise. We lost Adam, so we have problems with the rotation because the rules here require that you always have an Israeli player on the field. You need to plan ahead to five basketball players, sometimes regardless of the circumstances on the field, ”said D. Adomaitis.
Despite the defeat, the Lithuanian enjoyed the first two training sessions in Jerusalem. Hapoel’s next game is the last match of the Champions League group stage in Limoges on January 26.
Hapoel needs not only a victory, but also a favorable result in the next match between the Igokea and Turk Telekom teams.
“We had two good training sessions. I really liked what I could see, but these are just two workouts. We need more, then we will solve our problems, “said D. Adomaitis.
