This is especially true on the road against a team that they hadn\u2019t beaten all season long and in an arena that they hadn\u2019t been victorious in close to six years. <\/p>\n<p>Holon now only needs one more win in two games to find their way to the final and a chance to win the league title for the first time since the 2007\/08 season and it was Ragland who put them in that position. <\/p>\n<p>The 32-year old American-Liberian guard has played in a myriad of countries including Spain, Italy, Turkey, Serbia and made his way to the Holy Land for the 2020\/21 season where he plied his trade by the Red Sea for Hapoel Eilat. Following his campaign down south he signed with Holon and helped the club reach the Basketball Champions League Final Four where he was named to the Star Lineup along with teammate Chris Johnson.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_58545\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58545\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3A118256-9DAD-483B-A6AD-69714F2E5ACE.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"size-full wp-image-58545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3A118256-9DAD-483B-A6AD-69714F2E5ACE.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3A118256-9DAD-483B-A6AD-69714F2E5ACE-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3A118256-9DAD-483B-A6AD-69714F2E5ACE-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3A118256-9DAD-483B-A6AD-69714F2E5ACE-610x407.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-58545\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joe Ragland &#8211; Photo Credit: Sports Rabbi<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nRagland has been an integral part of the Holon lineup in 49 games this season across the two competitions as he has averaged 12.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 6.7 assists while playing close to 30 minutes a game.<\/p>\n<p>Following the game, the Wichita State product attempted to brush off his all-world showing as he had done all season long, \u201cI don\u2019t even know how many points I scored. We brought a tremendous amount of energy and we played a very good game. A lot of players are capable of doing what I did but I have been trying to show consistency throughout the season. My performance is not as important as the success of the club and the win that we recorded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, when asked if this was his best ever game as a professional, he had to shyly admit that it was, \u201cWe had to win and I just tried to attack and be aggressive. I think that this was my best game, but right now is not the time to celebrate we still have work to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of Ragland\u2019s known qualities as a pro that has seen him play in the Euroleague and the EuroCup is his attention to detail and being a student of the game which is something his Holon coach Guy Goodes admires about his point guard.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_58549\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58549\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EA33D73A-75F4-4EC0-B670-5EEBAF847464.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"size-full wp-image-58549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EA33D73A-75F4-4EC0-B670-5EEBAF847464.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EA33D73A-75F4-4EC0-B670-5EEBAF847464-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EA33D73A-75F4-4EC0-B670-5EEBAF847464-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/EA33D73A-75F4-4EC0-B670-5EEBAF847464-610x407.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-58549\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Guy Goodes &#8211; Photo Credit: Sports Rabbi<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cIt\u2019s very important that players watch and learn and know how to read the game of basketball. Joe was fantastic today and the entire team were really part of this win as they defended well and we knew that in order to win we had to do it with defense and the offense would come from there. He\u2019s done this is in the past and he has played in the Euroleague, but he\u2019s found a home here and he is a player that can lead us. We are one game away from the final.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ragland also spoke about how he has continued to become a better player as the years have gone as he molded his game after a couple of all-star guards along the way, \u201cIt\u2019s a mixture of players, Allen Iverson and Chris Paul. I try to match their game to mine and just continue to study the game and I feel I have many more years left. I want to keep working and studying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve got to study your craft if you want to be great and this is the way I\u2019ve seen it my entire life. I want to continue this way to maximize my career. I didn\u2019t feel anything special before the game but that it was just a desperate game and the pressure wasn\u2019t on us as they were the home team in the first game. We came with this attitude and to attack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over on the Jerusalem side, a disappointed head coach Yotam Halperin had no answers as to how his team could have slowed down a seemingly unstoppable Ragland and didn\u2019t hide from that fact, \u201cRagland did things in this game that were impossible to stop. He had a heroic game and it shows you that he is a very high quality player. Although we did a good job on him in the three games prior to this one, this time he finished with a stat line that if he duplicates in the next game we will have a very tough time to win. We have to find a way to bring the series back here to Jerusalem.\u201d<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_58539\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-58539\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/FAC86CCE-8623-4569-8EAC-F50BA3F5E9BD.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" class=\"size-full wp-image-58539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/FAC86CCE-8623-4569-8EAC-F50BA3F5E9BD.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/FAC86CCE-8623-4569-8EAC-F50BA3F5E9BD-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/FAC86CCE-8623-4569-8EAC-F50BA3F5E9BD-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/FAC86CCE-8623-4569-8EAC-F50BA3F5E9BD-610x406.jpeg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-58539\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Joe Ragland &#8211; Photo Credit: Sports Rabbi<\/p><\/div><br \/>\nReds guard Noam Dovrat knows that Ragland was one of the problems that his team faced but not the only issue that they need to correct going into the second game, \u201cRagland was a big problem but there were other problems that we have to deal with and will need to improve going into the next game. We have to take better shots and if we miss we have to keep going.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Credit has to go to Holon and Goodes as they were able to prepare properly for this encounter from the previous meetings and were able to place themselves into the drivers seat as they look to close out the series at home.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe learnt a lesson from the last two games we played in Jerusalem and we didn\u2019t get caught up in their aggressiveness. We took away home court advantage but the series is not over, it\u2019s just beginning. We made plenty of mistakes on the defensive end but giving up just 78 points is fine. The guys were focussed and we picked up a big win, however this is a series and we have to come in prepared for the next game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ragland felt that Goodes had his team ready to go but cautions that the series is far from over, \u201cCoach prepared us really well for this game but we have to continue this way as this was only the first game of the series.
