Coming out of the halftime break, the Yellow &#038; Blue were down 43-40 but very quickly grabbed the lead and never looked back thanks to an absolute guard show by Cole, Roll and Pargo. The 3-headed monster did all kinds of damage quickly and swiftly to kill the game as Cole scored 15 of his season high 24 points, Roll dropped 9 while Pargo led the attack. The new\/old Maccabi guard spoke about those first few minutes of the second half, \u201cThat\u2019s something that we\u2019ve needed to do since I\u2019ve been here. I\u2019m new to the team and we\u2019ve struggled, but we have had some games where we came out well. For a winning team that\u2019s important. You want to assert yourself.\u201d Roll also talks about the team\u2019s mindset going into the third frame, \u201cWe were tired of what was happening in the first half, some of it was out of our control. But we talked about it at halftime and we came out focused, locked in and came out playing.\u201d Play they did as it was bye, bye, so long and farewell to Nes Ziona.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_10529\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/471954CF-F887-4195-A087-CF134CA427B2.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10529\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/471954CF-F887-4195-A087-CF134CA427B2-1024x721.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"721\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10529\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/471954CF-F887-4195-A087-CF134CA427B2-1024x721.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/471954CF-F887-4195-A087-CF134CA427B2-300x211.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/471954CF-F887-4195-A087-CF134CA427B2-768x541.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/471954CF-F887-4195-A087-CF134CA427B2-1536x1081.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/471954CF-F887-4195-A087-CF134CA427B2-2048x1441.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/471954CF-F887-4195-A087-CF134CA427B2-1080x760.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-10529\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Basket.co.il<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n<strong>2)<\/strong> Yovel Zoosman was a key player for Maccabi with 9 points in the second quarter once DeAndre Kane picked up 3 fouls in the frame and was benched for the balance of the game.

There\u2019s no question that he\u2019s been the X-Factor for the team since joining the roster a little over a month ago in what was considered to be a surprise move. Pargo spoke about the win and his overall play on the day, \u201cWe got a win and that\u2019s the most important thing. We stayed together as a team and we made shots and the most important thing was that we played defense. We\u2019re looking forward to practice this week.\u201d In actuality Maccabi\u2019s defense was stifling in the second half limiting the host\u2019s to just 36 points. The guard added about his own personal performance, \u201cCould have been better. It was just what the game presented and I wanted to take what they gave me. Last time we played here I had a bunch of turnovers which was uncharacteristic. I wanted to be calm as possible.\u201d And calm he was finishing the night with just 2 turnovers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overtime<\/strong><br \/>\nDerby. Yes a Semifinal Derby between Maccabi and Hapoel Tel Aviv on the Israel Basketball Winner League Final Four. It\u2019s going to be a big, big game for sure as the league has already decided to break up the semifinals to be held on two separate days instead of one as has been done in the past. It will be The Tel Aviv Derby on Sunday June 10th followed by the second semifinal which will feature either Hapoel Jerusalem or Hapoel Gilboa\/Galil and Hapoel Holon Or Hapoel Eilat. There\u2019s time into, the next game but of course we had to ask Pargo about having to play the teams arch nemesis, \u201cWe have quite a bit of time to prepare. We\u2019ll enjoy it tonight and then we have a long week of practice to get ready for Sunday. Roll\u2019s sentiments were about the same, \u201cIt\u2019s exciting. We came out and did what we had to do and now it\u2019s time to prepare. We\u2019re excited, it\u2019s going to be fun.\u201d Fun it will be for sure.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u05e2\u05d5\u05e0\u05ea 2017\/18, \u05e8\u05d1\u05e2 \u05d2\u05de\u05e8 4: \u05d4\u05e4\u05d5\u05e2\u05dc \u05ea&quot;\u05d0 -  \u05de\u05db\u05d1\u05d9 \u05d0\u05e9\u05d3\u05d5\u05d3 74:79\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/itUARF9tXwY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<strong>Hapoel Tel Aviv 79-74 Maccabi Ashdod<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Tel Aviv Reds were the first team to advance to the Winner League Final 4 after deafening Ashdod at home by 5. 79-74 and winning their quarterfinal series 3 games to 1.
