Galil is playing against Kumanovo 2009 in the first semifinal and here is what Lubin said before the match:

„First of all we are very happy to make it to the Final 4. I think EUROHOLD Balkan League is very good for us, it′s our second year and we′re happy to be in the competition. I think the level this year is much stronger, we have very good teams this year with very good coaches. We love it to be here in Samokov, this is our third visit, we like the city and for us it is a great experience. Definitely will be very difficult for us. I know we lost once against each team this year so the level for me is much stronger and the competition is great. We started the journey trying to protect our title. Reaching the Final 4 was our first goal and of course now we have tough opponent. We lost to them the last game and we know they are very tough. Every team has its problems but semifinal is one game, you don′t know what is going to happen and we have to be prepared. Our goal is to protect the title."
