He has worked for Vilnius Ryte and the Lithuanian national team, but has been unemployed since last summer. Dainius Adomaitis translate a new career page.

Next week, the strategist will celebrate his 47th birthday in Jerusalem as he signed a contract with Hapoel’s team. Krepsinis.net invites you to familiarize yourself with the makeup of the Israeli club and the challenges that lie ahead.

It is worth starting from the fact that Oded Kattash had great confidence in the Hapoel leaders and no one intended to change it, but the Athens Panathinaika proposal became an opportunity for the Jew, which he could not give up because the Euroleague did not he took on the job so easily.

In recent years, we have seen Lithuanians in Hapoel: Mindaugas Kupšas spent half a season, and David Sirvydis also spent half a year there, which went to the Detroit Pistons. D. Adomaitis will now meet a familiar face: Chris Kramer, 32, 191 cm tall.

The American, who played for Chimki in the Moscow region last season, failed a medical examination in the summer because he was overweight, but had recovered from his physical condition and is now one of Hapoel’s leaders. D. Adomaitis, the former captain of Vilnius “Rytas”, worked in the capital and it was this player who helped the team reach the quarter-finals of the European Cup, at the beginning of which he suffered a painful ligament injury Crusaders, which ended their season.

D.Adomaitis highly appreciates Ch.Kramer for his strong game organization and intensity on defense. In the FIBA ​​Champions League, he scores 11 points (35.7% from three points) in 33 minutes, bounces 4 balls, makes 4.4 assists, takes 2.2 balls and accumulates 14.6 utility points.

Chammer forms a percussion tandem with defenders Tamir Blatt. The 23rd defender signed a contract with ALBA Berlin last summer and will play in it from next season, and this is not very successful for him: he scores 9 points in 27 minutes, recovers 2 balls, makes 7.5 assists and collects 10.6 utility. balo.

Hapoel’s other two biggest players are front-line members Suleiman Braimoh and TaShawn Thomas, who play for 32 and 30 minutes respectively. Note that the time spent on the court by the 4 mentioned players is between 27 and 33 minutes, which is a really high number, but it is linked to the injuries that plagued the team at the beginning of the season.

Neither S. Braimoh nor T. Thomas is a true center; They are both 203cm tall, so a full exchange can be applied to their defense. Both players play very well: Braimoh averages 14.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 17.4 utility points, and Thomas is one of the best players in the tournament: he accumulates 18.4 points in 30 minutes, rebounds 6, 6 balls and captures a utility of 23 points.

A very important player is J’Covan Brown, who did not play in the first month of the season due to injury, but now gives a very good boost from the bench: the 30-year-old scores 13.7 points in 25 minutes, bounces 4 balls, makes 6.7 assists and records a profit of 15.7 points.

Lightweight Malcolm Hill, who defended Nur Sultan’s honor in Astana last year, will compete in the top five. This American looks the most boring of all the Legionnaires so far, capturing averages of 7.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 7.3 utility points in 20 minutes.

Not surprisingly, Hapoel has recently acquired a complement, Jamila Wilson. The 30-year-old American is a familiar face, having played for Unics Kazan last season and in the fight against Morning. It should compete with Hill in the top five.

Hapoel has signed a contract with Andrew Eudy, who was born in Lebanon but has a US passport. The 24-year-old 201cm forward is just beginning his professional basketball career after graduating from the NCAA and has yet to make his debut as a member of the Jerusalem team.

The remaining basketball players are local players who perform an auxiliary function in the FIBA ​​Champions League – providing rest minutes for the main directors. After nearly 14 minutes, 24-year-old defender Adam Ariel (4 points, 2.8 assists) plays 206cm tall Idan Zalmanson (3 points, 3 assists) for 10 minutes for 10 minutes.

Twelve also have youngsters: 20-year-old center Nivas Baloulas and 18-year-old Yuvalas Sznajderman.

Challenges. Hapoel has the highest goals in the Champions League, but first requires the first goal: to move to the next stage of the tournament. In Group G, the situation is confusing as Hapoel has 2 wins and 3 losses, Igokea of ​​Alexandrovac (3/2) leads Turk Telekom of Ankara (4/1) and the latter is Limoges CSP (1/4) .

Hapoel landed a second time at home on January 13 for Turk Telekom, who lost 4 points (94:98) on his outing, losing his chances of taking first place. The day before, a match between Igokea and the CSP teams had been played, which ended with a Bosnian victory of 76:73, meaning that the Israeli club was in a dangerous situation beyond their control. Now the Adomaitis soldiers will have to defeat the CSP in Limoges on January 26 and hope that Igokea loses in the trip against Turk Telekom. By the way, Hapoel landed for the Bosnians on a trip (73:75), but came running home with plenty (84:68), allowing them to have a mutual advantage.

In Israel, Hapoel (7/2) shares 2-3 places with Galil Gilbao Hapoel of Galilee and is behind the leader Maccabi of Telciv (8/2). In the local championships, Hapoel is expected to reach the final, and the main objective is the removal of Maccabi from the throne.

D.Adomaitis’ team will also receive support from fans: Israel is rapidly vaccinating its population (21% vaccinated), so it already plans to play with 75% in March. full sands, which is a large number.
