Then it was Real Madrid. <br \/> Maccabi and Tau have played 8 times since 1999 and are even 4-4. Maccabi won the last two games in 2003: in Tel Aviv 100-77 and in Vitoria 93-79. <br \/> This will also be an encounter between the two stars of the Lithuania national team- Sarunas Jasikivicious (Maccabi) and Arvydas Maciauskas (Tau). Both of them stressed today that this is not a personal affair but a clash between the two two best teams in Europe. <br \/> A win will bring the Cup to Tel Aviv for the fifth time. For coach Pini Gesrshon it will be a third consecutive win after Paris(2001)and Tel Aviv(2004). Saras can also record a third win in a row after doing it with Barcelona(2003)and Tel Aviv (2004).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"custom_author":[],"class_list":["post-25509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25509"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25509\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":493557,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25509\/revisions\/493557"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25509"},{"taxonomy":"custom_author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maccabi.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/custom_author?post=25509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
