Things aren't that Clear about Champville new import !
Earl Barron (213-PF/C)(USA) Is no longer an Option for Champville ,and champville Team still Negotiating many imports like Sam Hoskin (206-C)(USA) EX-Champville same for Marcus Haislip (208-PF) also An EX-Champville ,also Lewis Sims (203-PF)(USA) A very experienced player 40 Years old passed on the best leagues in Europe like ACB Spain ,Italia Seri A ,Russia and many Others
Champville signed for Now Michel Maadanly (196-SG)(SYR) the Syrian Basketball Star to play with the team these 2-3 Games until they find and Sign their new import !!
So How we will see the Combination of 2 Huge scorers like Maadanly and El Khatib Both considered top in Asia !!
Maadanly will play Tommorow against Riyadi and also Against Amchit and Hoops (only for 3 games until they will sign their New Import)

Unfortunatly bad News for Riyadi Fans and also For All Lebanese Fans

Ahmad Ibrahim (201-SF)(LEB) Al Riyadi Rising Star had a Serious Injury and will be out for 6 Months !!

Get Well Soon Champ

ouf man.... thats really bad news !!....that means he will not be able to participate with the NT for the ABC.....
seriously we are so jinxed in this matter... its like khalas we r not to be given any chance to qualify to the world cup...
as long as ahmad is injured, in my opinion, his spot and skills cannot be replaced by any lebanese players now... Fadi is not the same anymore, jean abdel nour as well, Rodrigue will never reach rony fahed's level and heart and make tough decisions at the most critical times.... and Ali mahmoud also not in his best times....
im saying this bcoz Ahmad is a real prospect for Lebanese Basketball, he has the skills, the heart and the persistence...however despite his attitude which i think its normal for his experience level, he is our next rising star !! and i hope he regains his level once he recovers....

so the way i c it for our NT is a huge decline in evtg... Level and professionalism .... specially that Ghassan Sarkis is still heading the team; and as long as he remains there, our NT is gona go into more and more declines; if we take a look at other asian teams, they are all improving their teams and preparing them as it should... as for our NT and ghassan Sarkis, they are counting on IMPROVISING and passing the ball to our "former" legend Fadi, who is not as fit as before, and not in the same level as before, and has no help whatsoever, from the coach and the FLB so he could merge his experience with other players on the basketball court...
Other teams have several players and stars to count on... as for Ghassan Sarkis, its only Fadi...

anyways good luck for the ABC, but dont expect much from our NT.... any team can defeat us now... and all the best for Ahmad..

 

[gazara2]

Hey Gorgan yes it's true ,in these days all the Media are talking about Champville new Import !!! they are searching on really very high level but the issue is that they are negotiating a lot of players and every day a new name appears ! I think Ghassan Sarkis Champville head coach played Smartly and signed Kardoust Asghar (210-C)(IRI) for Few Games (i think it's about 3 games Riyadi-Amchit and Hoops) then to sign their Huge one !!
Champville need a C and a solid one specially tonight when they face Al Riyadi in Manara in a crucial game ! they need Kardoust next to Nikoloz
they were many Rumors that say they will sign for these 3 games Michel Maadanly or Lewis Sims ...
as for the Imports that they are negotiating with ,it's a huge list of good names ,hopefully the champions will be back on the right track after 2 big losses against Byblos the Dark Horse of the League and Al Riyadi ,then they won against Mouttahed at their Home
Gorgan do you know if Kardoust arrived to Lebanon ??

WOW !! man this kardoust is a real HORROR in the Lebanese League !! hes an amazing TANK ! if he was more familiar with his team mates and the way they play, Champville could've definately won the game !! the guy came directly from the Airport to the Game...although he got into the game tempo quickly... nothing special about ghassan sarkis's way of play afterall (ought to say systems since he's system-less)

i think Kardoust is an A level center import for the Lebanese League.

Riyadi edge Champville, assume control of top spot
March 18, 2013 12:30 AM
By Dany Abboud
The Daily Star


Riyadi Beirut went to the top of the Lebanese league with a 75-69 win over traditional rivals Champville at Manara Sunday in round three of the final eight. A win for Riyadi meant jumping to first place following Sagesse’s loss Saturday but Champville were boosted by the surprising arrival of Iranian international center Asghar Kardoust.

The home side began brilliantly, with Loren Woods on the scoreboard early on. He finished the match with 18 points, 13 rebounds.

Riyadi found it all too easy to break through their opponents’ defense, with Egyptian veteran cutting to the basket to extend their lead to 10 toward the end of the first.

Karl Sarkis did his best to keep the visitors in the game, especially that Champville’s star Fadi al-Khatib wasn’t in his usual scoring form.

Riyadi were treated to a moment of silence when Ahmad was forced to leave the court following a calf muscle strain eight minutes into the match.

The Beirut side were also missing Ahmad Ibrahim, whose season is over due to a compressed brachial plexus. But Riyadi were still able to lead 25-16 at the end of the first.

Kardoust entered the match in the last seconds of the opening quarter, and he soon showed his footwork, beating Woods for a basket that brought his side within seven early in the second.

But Riyadi were rampant and Champville had no answer as good defensive work from Woods allowed Ali Mahmoud to set up Amir Saoud for a 3-pointer. The home side proved they weren’t solely dependent on Ahmad, as they opened a 15-point deficit 37-22 with four minutes to go.

Only Sarkis and Kardoust were able to find their way to the basket from Champville, with Khatib failing to score more than one point in the first two quarters.

Riyadi went into halftime with a 46-31 lead.

The hosts began to falter in the third without their Egyptian star, and inaccurate shooting cost them dear as Champville refused to lie down and started a fight back.

Khatib, helped by Kardoust and Sarkis, began to show his worth offensively, as the gap evaporated to only five at the start of the fourth.

The final period was a close affair, as Champville continued to surge thanks to two 3-pointers from Khalil Aoun, which gave his side a rare 69-68 lead.

But Ali Mahmoud replied with another three, and Jean Abdelnour tipped in another decisive basket that wrapped up a pivotal win for Riyadi who moved into first place alone for the first time this season at 19-2.

Alongside Woods, Omar Turk contributed with 13 points, while Abdelnour added 11 points and nine rebounds, Ali Mahmoud also had seven points and seven assists.

Sarkis had game-high 19 points, while Khatib and Nikoloz Tskitshvili each added 13 with six rebounds and six assists for the former.

Kardoust marked his debut with 12 points and six rebounds.

Champville remain tied in third with Mouttahed, who played out an entertaining win over seventh-placed Bejjeh 66-62.

Saturday, Byblos produced a shock 75-62 home victory over Sagesse.

American Jay Youngblood top scored with 31 points and five rebounds, while Mike Fraser dominated with 19 points and 18 rebounds. Omar Ayoubi was also a key player with 14 points and five assists.

Deshawn Sims and Aaron Harper had 16 each to cap off the worst offensive night for Sagesse this season. Sagesse slipped to second place at 18-3.
