The main topic of discussion for Lenovo Tenerife and Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem will be clinching a berth in the championship game of the 2023 Basketball Champions League Final Four. Not all to it, but head coaches Txus Vidorreta and Aleksandar Dzikic will be giving instructions hoping to maximize advantages on both ends of the court.
The defending champions and the Jerusalem outfit will face each other in Malaga on Friday. Hosting Unicaja and Telekom Baskets Bonn shape the other matchup on the Semifinals schedule. Winners going to the first-place game and losers to the third-place game will then conclude the season-ending tournament on Sunday.
Two players to face each other in the semis, Giorgi Shermadini and Levi Randolph are on the brink of scoring milestones. Certainly a huge part of the plan for Tenerife and Hapoel Jerusalem, they will naturally focus on getting the job done on the team level. An additional bonus attached to a potential win and a consolation on the opposite end in nearly unique achievements.
