Group F, Day 1: LEBANON vs. QATAR

[FEIFEI]

August 10th 2009, Tianjin Gym, 21hr00 Tianjin time, 14hr00 Beirut Time.
What do u think of this game??

Why don't any one make a Thread of this game???
Are all the LEBANON fans think thay will win the game 100% after QATAR lost to China by 30+???

[nader]

this aint the real reason the reason that our nt is concentrating on our important match against china and our match with quatar is going to be a difficult one

[talion..]

My prediction. If Lebanon wins by more than 25 to 35 points over Qatar, Lebanon and China are evenly matched. If it wins 35 to 50 points, it is a little better than China. If it wins by more than 50 points, then CHina is in trouble.

On the other hand, if Lebanon wins by less than 25 points but not less than 15 points, CHina is a little better than Lebanon. If it wins by not more than 15 points, CHina will certainly win over Lebanon when they meet.
If Qatar wins, then there is a medium to high probability that even Korea, Taiwan, Philippines and Japan might pull an upset over Lebanon.
If Qatar wins by over 20 points, I think it's time to impose the death penalty on Vroman. Lol kidding. Goodluck on both teams i think lebanon will win over qatar but when lebanon faces china i think china will win easily.

u cannot analyze it like that.maybe quatar had a bad day against china or china was playing their best. maybe lebanon will play its best game against quatar but play badly against china etc. look jordan managed to beat lebanon. however jordan won by 12 points against UAE lebanon won by 70 points.

Yes !I agree ,I think the score can not show all of the the actual situation .
Just like the game China vs Qatar ,at the end of 3th China win 39pts.
And the whole 4th China use all most of the bench players .
So I think we should see the process not only the score.
As to lebanon NT thay should try them best to win the game first .

I hope Liu Wei gets his game going again. Yesterday's game was his best so far.

Also, who will replace Liu Wei in the future? The guy is reaching his 30s and, by FIBA standards, that's already old.

Yes he is 29 right now ,in the future I think the PG will replace him are
Liu Xiaoyu 188 cm 1988 ,Guo Ailun 190CM 1993 (he is the nephews of China NT coach Guo Shiqiang and get inteseting by John Calipari the coach of university of kentucky in the LBG camp in USA )

qatar is not an easy team ... they lost to china by 30pts but this dont mean they are bad... offensively we are better that them .. we must work on our defense and team work to secure the win...
leb vs china i think it will be a close game in the first half.. and then china will make the difference in the q3 and q4...

Liu Xiaoyu was born in 1987. He was the Chinese high school league MVP before he turned pro and joined CBA

Lebanon is strong enough!

lebanon nt is strong enough to easily beat qatar!
i actually think we should win by at least 25 to 30 points,
we lost the first game, and i'm happy that we lost it cause afterward the real picture of our team is shown! we came into jordan's game thinking that we will win even without running, and it is wrong, we lost the game, we learned the lesson.
in the next 2 games, lebanon nt shows its real face! crushing UAE by 70 points, and then smashing indonesia by 87 points! and by every game, we will improve more!
those 2 games were an alert to all the other teams! Qatar, here we come!

[SNIPER]

Well I'm afraid that if we beat qatar and China (I doubt) in the 2nd round we might get overconfident and lose in the quarter finals or semi finals


We might beat Qatar, but china .. Hell no.
We're not moving/rotating the ball or shooting it in a good way
We're not playing a system.
We're not paying with guts, heart...
Until now we are relying on our body size and physical advantages that Lebanon has on most of Asian teams. This might not work each time.
Defensively every team can find our defensive gaps (what a gap we're having!!!)
