Hapoel Tel-Aviv - Real Madrid

Double week and the factor of home and away plays a bigger role. Zalgiris plays good basketball at home, and today there is also the prospect of a better and more vibrant atmosphere than usual. There is a lack of some stability, but the players step up, Goss' form is improving as well. Zvezda remains a home team, just like in the previous periods, and their results often differ drastically between home and away games.

The principled battle for Zalgiris, if lost at home, would be a huge disappointment for fans, so I believe there will be a serious conversation between the coach and the players before this game. Just like Zalgiris, Zvezda does not demonstrate consistent gameplay, so they are an opponent that can be defeated today. I believe Masiulis will make conclusions about rotation and Cisco will be the most productive player among the green ranks. I also hope for less playing time for Ulanovas and no decline in performance from the bench. Let's hope the coach understands this and plays Peru.

Good shape Gossas plays and plays for not bad minutes, his role in the team has changed since the first half of the season. I was really expecting a bigger contribution in the creative aspect from him since the beginning of the season, but that creativity only started in the recent period. In the last 6 matches, his numbers are: 10, 3, 3, 7, 4, 6. Today, I'm looking forward to Gossas' contributions in his creativity and team management in these emotional matches.

I don't see a lot of points here. The physical/big teams, the second week of playing, the opposing atmosphere and the slower pace all suggest an ugly game. Zvezda starts with defense and plays slowly, but once they get comfortable, everything switches and it's hard to attack them, especially with teams that don't excel in speed. The only difficult part for Zvezda's defense is Cisco, the others are too slow. They also don't attack effectively. Monekes, CMM or Nworos don't provide much speed for the games.

Not that player whose green couldn't be stopped, a throw from the bottom, so if you catch up to him on time, it's difficult for him to make normal throws, the emphasis will be on him. He played a lot in the first week, taking many evident overthrows. Against the greens, it would be worth releasing an over to join our group of three, they enjoy passing to the greens.

It just seems to me that the handicap is a bit too big for him. Of course, he still throws a decent amount compared to his age, but his form has been very weak lately and that point limit is just too high. So, I think he would need a lot of luck to overcome it.
