Laso: Hapoel Tel Aviv is a very hard team to stop

Anadolu Efes will face Hapoel Tel Aviv tomorrow evening in Bulgaria in Week 8 of the EuroLeague. Before the match, Efes head coach Pablo Laso made comments on the club's official website.

Laso said games against Hapoel are among the toughest matches one can play. Stressing that the opposing roster has very talented players at every position, Laso said Vasilije Micic, Elijah Bryant, Dan Oturu, Zach LeDay and Tomas Satoransky are among the best players in Europe. He also reminded that some of these players have worn the Efes jersey in the past.

The head coach said Tel Aviv has built a team that is hard to stop. According to Laso, just when you think you have controlled one star player, another one steps up. He interpreted this as a sign of the quality of the roster.

Laso also pointed to Antonio Blakeney, who comes off the bench and poses a serious scoring threat. How Efes balances its defense and tempo against the opponent's depth will be the question to watch in this game.
