QUESTION!


We all know that TEAM CHINA DIDNT WIN THIS YEARS CHAMPIONSHIP...
So, what are the chances of the FINAL FOUR teams in the OLYMPICS?...
Are four of them qualified? or will they play another QUALIFYING TOURNAMENT AGAINST AMERICANS and EUROPEANS? except for the CHAMPION which is IRAN or LEBANON...

Congratulations to Iran for winning the Asian Championship for 2007 and qualifying for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Congratulations also to Lebanon for reaching the finals. Asian basketball is becoming more and more unpredictable.

[BURATIN]

thank God that Iran won, i dont like lebanon to win............

nice work Iran!!!

[joel23]

yeah those Indons have a great basketball program but i guess it will be hard for them to catch up to the level of basketball in China or maybe Taiwan

It's too far but very great year for Indonesia but still basketball level of Malaysia and India. Not Taiwan and Qatar

[manu_bol]

thank God that Iran won, i dont like lebanon to win............

i started to hate lebanon when karim here is posting arrogant statements about their team.... HAHAHA

nice work Iran!!!

i guess, the loss will surely make them humble once again.. but lebanon is really a world-class team. they just rely on elkhatib and vogel too much..

anyway, asian basketball is unpredictable...

[saints13]

well, congratulations to the Iranians..

they are really worth the Asian Championship..

congratulations to runner-up Lebanese team

[budz17]

Iran was the class of the championships. only 1 loss, though big, but they won when it mattered.

congratulations to iran. their boys became men in this tournament. it will become even harder to beat them in the next championships because of the confidence that they gained here.

congratulations to lebanon. they proved their maturity and steadiness here. although, in my opinion, they lack depth in the scoring department. they rely heavily on 2 players, khatib and vogel, for scoring.

to all the teams, including my beloved RP, the race for 2010 world basketball championships has begun.

i now wanna see the real China vs Iran at FIBA '09

Wang Zhizhi 、Mengke Bateer and LI Nan will retire the NT in 09.Yao shouldn't join in asia level games. But you could see Zhang zhaoxu ,JI Xiang, Shang Ping 、Su Wei and so on.

How did some of these teams qualify? I know the top 5 from before (China, Korea, Iran, Japan, Qatar), the host (Japan), SEA Toruney (RP,Indonesia), and Mid-Asia (Kazakhstan and India) qualified, but I dont get/know how the other 6 or so made it. HELP!!!
