Hapoel Jerusalem Team News
After an unexpected lost to Dijon in Jerusalem, Hapoel defeated Hapoel Holon at road in the the FIBA Champions League last week. Now, they will have the opportunity to put themselves in a good position with a possible win against Strasbourg.
Good defense is something that head coach Aleksandar Dzikic insists on this season. In the domestic championship, they are allowing only 74.1 points per game, while in the FIBA Champions League first phase, they limited their opponents to 74.7 points. When it comes to the offense, Hapoel has some very solid American players. Levi Randolph is the best scorer, Khadeen Carrington is playing outstandingly, while Zachary Hankins keeps the paint under control. Speedy Smith, Brandon Brown and Siim-Sander Vene also play an important role.
„Pais Arena“ is very well filled in almost all of Hapoel’s games in Jerusalem this season. They have fanatical support from the stands and if their defense is at recognizable level, they can definitely expect win in this clash.
Strasbourg Team News
Strasbourg started great top 16 phase of the FIBA Champions League. After the victory over Hapoel Holon, they went to Dijon and achieved another triumph. Now, next goal is to defeat Hapoel Jerusalem at least once in the next two clashes.
Unlike the FIBA Champions League where they have an excellent record, Strasbourg are struggling a lot in the domestic championship. They are outside top 8 and will need better performances to qualify for the quarterfinals. Marcus Keene is floor general and controls everything in the offense. Veteran DeAndre Lansdowne is in good shape this season and Rodions Kurucs, who struggled a lot in Partizan last season, is also playing well. Head coach Luca Banchi is trying to get the most out of his team and so far he did a good job in this competition.
Thanks to good results in the first two rounds, Strasbourg will be without pressure in Jerusalem. On the other hand, they are aware that with a new win, they would come a small step away from cementing first place. If that happens, they will have home court advantage in the FIBA Champions League quarterfinals.
