Elijah Bryant to Sportal.bg: I Hope the Arena is Full

Hapoel Tel Aviv star Elijah Bryant spoke to Sportal.bg during the team's official practice at "Arena Sofia" ahead of their highly anticipated EuroLeague clash with Panathinaikos on April 2nd at 8 PM.

"Happy holidays to everyone in Israel. Personally, I take it day by day. Right now, I'm focused on practice. If you look too far ahead, you can accumulate stress and anxiety. I'm excited to play basketball and help my team win.

I think we need to play better defense, handle the ball better, and score more points than the other team. Overall, we need to play with more motivation.

Whether the arena will be full – we'll see. I'm grateful that we can play the game. I'm thrilled about the opportunity to play good basketball. It would be great if people come; it's an excellent opportunity, and I'm excited," Bryant told Sportal.bg.
