7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys: 2023-24 games to watch

7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys is set to start its sixth BKT EuroCup season, and has been to the competition in the last four years. It has been really solid recently, making it to the playoffs in each of the last two campaigns and getting the home-court advantage in the eighthfinals last season. Lietkabelis is ready for bigger goals and in order to achieve them, it needs to be successful in some likely key matchups along the way.

[Round 7:  7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys vs. Turk Telekom Ankara](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/7bet-lietkabelis-panevezys-turk-telekom-ankara/U2023/70/#comparison)

### Canak returns

It should be a really special night at Cido Arena. Nenad Canak returns to Panevezys, this time as Turk Telekom head coach. Canak led Lietkabelis to its current situation, coaching the team for the previous five seasons. Last season, Canak guided Lietkabelis to the EuroCup Eightfinals for the second consecutive season. He also helped his former team make it to the Lithuanian League finals in 2022. Expect Lietkabelis fans to welcome him back with a well-deserved standing ovation.

[Round 14: 7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys vs. Dreamland Gran Canaria](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/7bet-lietkabelis-panevezys-dreamland-gran-canaria/U2023/140/#comparison)

In order to be one of the best teams in the competition, you need to do well against those who reached far in the 2022-23 season, and no other team did better than reigning champions Gran Canaria. It is its first visit to Cido Arena since 2016, and Lietkabelis usually plays well against Spanish teams at home, beating five of them in as many seasons. Given the fact that everyone has an extra motivation against the champions, Lietkabelis should be ready to give his team in a critical showdown late in the regular season.

 

[Round 18: U-BT Cluj-Napoja vs. 7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/u-bt-cluj-napoca-7bet-lietkabelis-panevezys/U2023/179/#comparison)

It is not going to be easy to rank sixth or better in any group, but Lietkabelis managed to do so in the last two seasons. Indeed, Lietkabelis ranked fifth in its regular season group in 2021-22, and was fourth last season. It may go down to its last game in Group A, against a team knows for its loyal fans able to sell out Bt-Arena on regular basis. Whether Lietkabelis is qualified or has chances to advance in Round 18, playing in front a strong atmosphere always helps the team's chemistry and prepares the team for bigger challenges.

 Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv: 2023-24 games to watch 

Following a debut in which it rolled as far as the quarterfinals, [Hapoel Shlomo Tel Aviv](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/carousels/hapoel-shlomo-tel-aviv/?q=%7B%22articleId%22%3A%22%22%2C%22categoryId%22%3A%22%22%2C%22linkedId%22%3A%7B%22sourceSystem%22%3A%22FS_BASKETBALL_TEAM%22%2C%22sourceSystemId%22%3A%22hta%22%2C%22text%22%3A%22%22%7D%7D&carouselTitle=Hapoel%20Shlomo%20Tel%20Aviv) returns for its second BKT EuroCup season as a force to be reckoned with. Hapoel matched the second-best home mark of any team last season, 8-1, behind its devoted crowd at Shlomo Group Arena, but perhaps even more impressive was the support its fans brought on the road. With some great destinations to visit in [Group A](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/2023-24-bkt-eurocup-group-a-at-a-glance/) during the upcoming season, expect those fans to be pushing Hapoel at arenas near and far to rise even higher in its sophomore EuroCup campaign.

Check out [Hapoel's full schedule](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/teams/hapoel-shlomo-tel-aviv/games/hta/?season=2023-24)  

[Round 3 vs. Umana Reyer Venice](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/hapoel-shlomo-tel-aviv-umana-reyer-venice/U2023/23/#roster)

A high point of Hapoel's first EuroCup season was its [eighthfinals home victory against Reyer](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2022-23/hapoel-vegan-friendly-tel-aviv-umana-reyer-venice/U2022/187/), which returns to Tel Aviv on October 17 in search of paybacks. It will be Hapoel's third straight home game to start the season and will help determine whether its dominance there is set to continue. This game will also be Hapoel's first chance to measure itself against another post-season participant from last season.

[Round 8 vs. Joventut Badalona](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/hapoel-shlomo-tel-aviv-joventut-badalona/U2023/75/#roster)

As many as eight returning players on Hapoel's roster will have this game circled on the calendar as a first chance to avenge their [quarterfinal defeat last season to Joventut](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2022-23/joventut-badalona-hapoel-vegan-friendly-tel-aviv/U2022/192/#boxscore). Hapoel won each of the last three quarters in that game, but it wasn't enough to overcome a lopsided start in favor of Joventut, which has signed that game's best rebounder that night, Chinanu Onuaku, from Hapoel. Expect Hapoel to take the lesson from that season-ending night in Badalona to heart and come out ready to rumble in the rematch.

[Round 14 @ London Lions](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/game-center/2023-24/london-lions-hapoel-shlomo-tel-aviv/U2023/132/#roster)

The [Group A](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/2023-24-bkt-eurocup-group-a-at-a-glance/) race will be in crunch time by the time Hapoel travels to the British capital for the second time in a row. Last time there, backed by [an amazing show from 1,500 of its own traveling fans](https://www.euroleaguebasketball.net/eurocup/news/1500-traveling-fans-help-hapoel-to-improbable-fourth-quarter-rally/), Hapoel pulled off a miraculous come-back victory, rallying from 14 points behind with 8 minutes left thanks to a 2-20 run. There is no doubt that having its fans there at Wembley Arena impacted not only the outcome but the playoffs race last season. No one will be surprised if the Hapoel hordes arrive in force with the same purpose in Round 14.

He also has scored a total of 11 points in five appearances in the EuroCup more than a decade ago. He has also been a member of the Greek national team.
