But he also featured in the Basketball Champions League back in the 2016-17 campaign which is teh competition that Holon has participated in over the past numbers of years and advanced all the way to the Final Four back in the 2021-22 season. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m ready for the competition and I played in the BCL 6-7 years ago. I know how it is and all I want is to take Holon to the highest level, help them win games and win titles too. I played three years in the Euroleague so I know what a big competition is and I am ready for this. I\u2019m excited.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Noua could have taken his talents to many teams in different countries but decided that Holon was the place where he could make an impact and help use his positive energy to lead by example as he explained what was behind his decision to continue his career in Israel.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_93442\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93442\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1766.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-93442\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1766.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1766-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-93442\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amin Noua &#8211; Photo Credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cI had many offers and I took my time to decide. For me I thought that this was the best project. I talked to the coach and he trusts me and I know he is going to put me in a great situation and that\u2019s what I want. To be stable and to be with a big team and to play in one of the best competitions in Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCoach Amit Sherf explained to me that he wants me to take the team to the highest level and they all expect a lot from me, but I am ready. I\u2019m only 26 but I have numerous years of professional and Euroleague experience, so I am ready for this new challenge and I am excited.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly enough, young Israeli sensation Noam Yaacov, who starred for the Under-20 team that took home the silver medal at this year\u2019s European Championship is beginning his third season with ASVEL after having been loaned put to Hapoel Jerusalem this past year. The guard trained together with Noua in Lyon and spoke to Holon\u2019s new recruit while also connecting Amit Sherf who will begin his first season as the head coach of Holon and also served as an assistant for the U20 team.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_93434\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93434\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1751.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-93434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1751.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1751-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-93434\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amin Noua &#8211; Photo Credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cI only heard great things about the club. I spoke to him and coach Sherf who had been with the Under-20 Israel National Team and he told me great things and that\u2019s why I came here. I am really excited and I am ready to take on this challenge. I practiced all summer to be here in good shape and in the best condition and now I am here ready to go.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>As for expectations, Noua looks to translate the success he had in France to Holon, \u201cI won three championships with my team in France and that is what I want to do and what I play for, to win titles. I know that Holon won the Israel league title two years ago and I want to put them at the highest level and the highest level is to win. This is my goal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Along with Noua, Holon added a number of new players for this upcoming season including veteran swingman Drew Crawford who has played in Israel over the course of his career, but all in all, the Lyon native can\u2019t wait to get the season underway.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_93444\" style=\"width: 1290px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93444\" src=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1756.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" class=\"size-full wp-image-93444\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1756.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/sportsrabbi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_1756-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-93444\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Amin Noua &#8211; Photo Credit: Yehuda Halickman<\/p><\/div><br \/>\n\u201cEach year I try to be better and better on and off of the court and that is what I am bringing here along with the experience that I have had especially in the Euroleague.

We also have a great roster and a great coach and I know it will be his first year behind the bench but I am sure he is going to be ready and we will have a good preparation and be ready for the first game which is what I want.
