Two Israeli Basketball Players One Win Away From EuroLeague Berth
Two Israeli basketball players, Dorin Dahan Suez and Romi Levi, are one victory away from reaching the prestigious EuroLeague with their team, Crvena Zvezda (Red Star Belgrade). The Serbian champions secured their spot in the final qualifying round after a comeback victory over Brno of the Czech Republic, with a final score of 75-69.
Brno held a significant lead of seven points entering the final quarter, but Crvena Zvezda staged a remarkable comeback, outscoring their opponents 20-12 in the last ten minutes to secure the win.
Dahan Suez, in her second season with the Belgrade team, contributed 4 points, including crucial baskets in the final minutes, along with 2 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal in 20 minutes of play. Levi, who recently returned to Europe after a college career in the United States, scored 3 points and grabbed one rebound in her nine minutes on the court for the team.
Crvena Zvezda will now face Hungarian team Miskolc in a decisive game next Wednesday for a place in the EuroLeague. The losing team will compete in the EuroCup.
This potential achievement follows a trend of Israelis reaching the EuroLeague, with Daniel Raber being the fourth Israeli woman to play in the league last year, and Jordan Garzon set to become the fifth after signing with Zaragoza.
