A team in an identity crisis: Hapoel Yerushalayim was defeated hugely in the eyes of its audience, who called Kanzoris to resign

by

Hapoel Tel Aviv left the Hafis Arena in the capital this evening (Saturday) with an impressive 64:91 away victory over Hapoel Jerusalem and handed the cup holder its ninth league loss in 18 games.

The Battle of the Reds at the Arena brought together two teams that were looking to change momentum after painful losses in the European arena and start a new path, but there was only one team on the floor at the Arena in the second half. After one close half, Danny Franco’s men took control of the game and ran over the host without difficulty.

Hapoel Jerusalem of March 2024 is a group in crisis, an identity crisis and a professional crisis. There is no trace left of the fearsome defensive team of Aleksandar Dzikic who left and under the guidance of Elias Kantsouris the Jerusalemites suffered their fifth league loss out of the last seven league games.

Dusty Hanas (23 points, plus-minus 38+), who did not take part in Hapoel Tel Aviv’s loss in the Eurocup, returned to the local arena and led his teammates who did their best on both sides of the field when the difference crossed the 30-point mark in the middle of the fourth quarter.

At the end of the game, a handful of the team’s fans chanted harsh slogans against the coach, calling for him to resign. The fans didn’t stop until he stopped the TV interview and had to move to another place. The fans protested against the team and demanded that he take responsibility for the state of the team.

Elias Kanzouris and his apprentices will meet the Turkish Karshiaka on Wednesday as part of the last round of the top 16 stage of the FIBA ​​Champions League for a game from which there is no way back. Another loss for the Jerusalemites could end their European season.
