Hapoel Holon players celebrate (Hagai Michaeli)
After qualifying for the second time in a row for the top 8 in the FIBA Champions League, Hapoel Holon was drawn today (Friday) against Strasbourg. The quarter-final series will be played in the format of the best of three games, with Guy Goodes’ team enjoying the home advantage thanks to finishing at the top of the house. In addition, it was determined that if Hapoel Holon passes Strasbourg, it will meet the winner of the series between Tenerife and Topash Bourse in the semi-finals of the Final Four (to be held in May in Bilbao, Spain).
Estimated game dates: April 6, 13 and 20. Holon hope to continue the momentum after finishing the previous round with four wins and two losses, including the last game in which it came back from a 16-point deficit to win over Dijon, who secured the home side at the expense of Ludwigsburg.
The French team is considered a rising name and last season finished in fourth place in the factory. This season in the domestic league she has suffered ups and downs, but since the arrival of Cameron Taylor she looks very good. The loanee from Maccabi Tel Aviv has so far recorded 10.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game in the Champions League, along with 12.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.7 assists in the French league.
