Day 2 Group B: Iran Vs Uzbekistan

[mohsena2631]

-I think it's good that Matic decided to give most players playing time
8 out of 12 played more than 15 minutes(11 out of 12 played more than 10 min).

-Iran's 3pt % was horrible 18% (4/22) Nikkhah 1/7 and Afagh 0/4 ! these two are Iran's sharp shooters. It could be because they changed the stadium and they were not used to it.

today I saw a video about the first match in IRIB3 (akhbar varzeshi) and Afagh said the same thing after the first match. and Kamrani said "we played bad because of Haddadi" he said we must play without center against short teams !

today Sohrabnejad played his fist match after 3 months injury break ! healthy Sohrabnejad (Hamed #3) can improve us a lot. he is more scorer than Sahakian.

I watched PHI-JPN match, I think we have a very good chance to beat both of them. of course the ball is round and nothing is impossible but I think only Korea is a big threat in the second round but both JPN and PHI can be dangerous.

You won!!! that's what is important. The biggest hurdle in your group which is Taipei is gone. The next round will give you a better gauge if Nikkhah and the rest are really struggling. You will have to hurdle Three teams who LOVE TO RUN!!! PHI,KOREA,JAPAN.

you`re right man, we won..

Iran is the best in Asia....we will play in the World Championship next year..

Uzbeks are most likely gonna be booted as early as prelims. Why is Phils Team B Coach Toroman is so high on them? Did they send a different team?

[flipballa7]

Like what i said in another thread, the top teams will truly show their form in the next round. This could go down as perhaps the best FIBA Asia ever. Too bad guys like Yao Ming, Yuta Tabuse, Sean Chen and Jimmy Alapag aren't part of their respective teams for various reasons.

Can't see the game but I guess they are playing better
end of 3rd quarter Iran up 72:45
Kamrani 23pts
Nikkhah 18pts
Sahakian 7rbs

[Buran]

What the hell are they doing !!!

only 6pts diff after 18 mins

right, I also thought they would score more.
good to see afagh and haddadi coming into the game

did they ask them to cover up the tattoos in the 2007 games? haddadi had a white bandage over his tattoo in those games

they can ask but they can't force them in international matches. but in the Super League they must cover it because of "BadAmoozi"

actually our fed doesn't care about that.

[Buran]

NO
*the organizer only broadcast 6 matches per day (all matches in the main arena)
* IRIB didn't broadcast the yesterday match because they don't care about Basketball !



you must know THAT WAS A CLUB TOURNAMENT !!! this Kuwait is another team. they beat Qatar in Stankovic Cup and they lost to Kazakhstan by 3.

The first quarter is over, iran is ahead 23 : 17

Hamed Afagh and Hamed Haddadi have not entered the game yet!! hope they are not sick or injured

Nikkhah has 8 pts and 2 fouls already Kamrani 9 pts

[mohsena2631]

Forgot to tell you they came here to the Philippines to practice with Gilas as a preparation for their campaign in Tianjin. And yes I know the difference between Al Qadsia and Kuwait NT.

sir the kuwait national team for fiba asia 2009 has made a camp in philippines before they go to tianjin just like they did last 2007 and I learned now that Gilbert Lao can be a double figure guy in teams like Sri lanka or Uae

ah ! ok, I didn't know it.
