The seventh round of the Euroleague opens tonight (Thursday) and as part of it, Maccabi Tel Aviv will be hosted by Anadolu Efes in the hope of avoiding a fifth loss this season, in order to return to positive momentum and start climbing up the table. The two teams have met 29 times in total and the Turks have won 16 of them, including in six of the last eight meetings and 77:99 in Istanbul last year.
Maccabi Tel Aviv surrendered at home 75:65 to Fenerbahce last week and have only won twice in Europe this season. Last Sunday, the Yellows advanced to the Winner’s Cup final after 72:92 over Maccabi Rishon Lezion, thanks to 22 points by Scotty Wilbkin who so far was the only safe share in Yannis Sapropoulos’ team in Europe and passed the 20-point mark in three of the six games. Maccabi Tel Aviv will have to go aggressively to the offensive rebound as it did against Fener last week, so one offensive rebound was far from its club record, in order to prevent the Turks from developing the running game and fast pace that are comfortable for them. In the injured section, Yuval Sussman, Omri Caspi and John Dibertolomao continue to be absent.
On the other hand, Anadolu is preparing for the game after suffering a severe blow yesterday and was informed that three of its players will not be able to take part in the match, led by star Shane Larkin. The quarterback, who led the Euroleague scores last season and even broke the all-time record with 49 points in one game, only made his first appearance this season last week after recovering from an injury. In addition to Larkin, chins Bryant Dunston, ex Hapoel Holon and Bnei Hasharon, and Sertak Chanley are also absent. At the same time, and although so far they have recorded two victories compared to three losses in the Euroleague, Argin Atman’s team has won its last four games and last Sunday defeated Boyukchkamja 79:98 in the local league.
