Following the home clash, Maccabi will head to Piraeus where they will take on Olympiacos on Friday night.<\/p>\n<p>On a night where the dynamic duo backcourt of Oded Katash and Doron Sheffer will be inducted into the Maccabi Tel Aviv Hall of Fame, a top Euroleague guard in his own right who began his career up at Hapoel Galil Elyon will pay a visit to Yad Eliyahu. A star guard that spent part of last season with the Brooklyn Nets and one who always seems to up his game when he arrives in the Holy Land in none other than Mike James.<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mike James Nets DEBUT 2021.04.23 vs Celtics - 8 Pts, 2 Assists\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k9GNYnXGgDc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\nJames\u2019 numbers may be down this season but that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s not a threat to go off for more than 20+ points on any given night especially when facing the likes of Maccabi Tel Aviv where he has scored 10, 25, 22, 16, 19, 27, 17 for an average of 19.43 points per game when he sees the Yellow &#038; Blue.<\/p>\n<p>Running one of the Euroleague\u2019s most potent offenses now may also be a reason why James\u2019s stats dropped a bit because he\u2019s got to share the wealth a bit and also doesn\u2019t need to take so much upon himself as he used to. <\/p>\n<p>However, Coach Ioannis Sfairopoulos is well aware that he will need to stop James in order to stop Monaco, \u201cMike James is always a big threat and on a good day he can kill anybody. We have to focus on him and not let him do what he likes to do on the court. We have to focus one-on-one and by the team, this is how we stop him.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_43587\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43587\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/411C4154-4A17-4045-8558-36D371A79466.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1145\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/411C4154-4A17-4045-8558-36D371A79466.jpeg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/411C4154-4A17-4045-8558-36D371A79466-300x268.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/411C4154-4A17-4045-8558-36D371A79466-1024x916.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/411C4154-4A17-4045-8558-36D371A79466-768x687.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/411C4154-4A17-4045-8558-36D371A79466-610x546.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/411C4154-4A17-4045-8558-36D371A79466-1080x966.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-43587\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Keenan Evans: Photo credit- Dov Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nKeenan Evans who did not play in the double overtime Israeli league win earlier this week will most probably be tasked with trying to stop James. There is no reason to think that he won\u2019t be able to do just that but he is also well aware of the fact that he will need help to halt the star.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou prepare for him like you would anyone,\u201d Evans said. \u201cWatch clips and see their weaknesses and strengths and try to take advantage of that. He loves to keep to his right hand we we\u2019ll try to send him the other way. We have to come out here and try to make it tough for them on the offensive end and make it tough on the other end as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another one of Sfairopoulos\u2019s rocks on defense who also didn\u2019t play against Eilat in Angelo Caloiaro understands that Monaco is lethal on the attack and that the entire team will need to help stop one Mike James. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir offense is top three in the Euroleague for a reason. They are big and athletic. It\u2019s going to be tough. It\u2019s the team and not one person. You have a guy on the ball and the rest on the help side.

They are a team that can control the rhythm very well and if they do they can score really easy. We want to be concentrated for 40 minutes and match up to their energy. We may be a little fatigued, but we have to stay focussed and most important is the mental preparation to continue to play these games.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before tip-off Maccabi fans will be privileged to see Oded Katash\u2019s and Doron Sheffer\u2019s banners being raised to the rafters of Yad Eliyahu. Both were significant contributors to the club as well as European basketball as a whole whether it was winning championships for Maccabi or helping capture European titles with Panathinaikos (over Maccabi in Katash\u2019s case) and Hapoel Jerusalem (over Real Madrid in the ULEB Cup).<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-11-16-at-14.54.31.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"900\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-45212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-11-16-at-14.54.31.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-11-16-at-14.54.31-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-11-16-at-14.54.31-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-11-16-at-14.54.31-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-11-16-at-14.54.31-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-11-16-at-14.54.31-610x343.jpeg 610w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-11-16-at-14.54.31-1080x608.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m very happy for my club that Maccabi gives recognition and credit to the former players and they don\u2019t forget players who fought and succeeded with their team.
