first half BRA 39- 29 IRI

VIVA IRANNNN

[asdzas]

Final Brazil 81 x 65 Iran


Brazil played enough to win. Used the bench a lot. Our defense was not very good, so we need to improve it if we want to compete against Slovenia and Croatia.

We also used the bench a lot . Don't forget we missed our captain Samad and Afagh before this cup .2 of 5 starting players

and you are the only team missing key players in the WC...

[mohsena2631]

the first Q was awful, nothing positive going on, you know you are not doing what you are supposed to offensively when your C & PF take 3pt shots.
Hope the game turns for the better from this point on.

and that first quarter was enough to lose the match, Brazil wasn't that strong as everybody thought

obviously we had no plan without Samad in offence (against an average defense) , unfortunately we have no one even close to Samad, (we had Aidin ) Arsalan had a good game but he is a power forward. and Zandi played really bad tonight.

Hamed and our fans in stadium were the only positive things in tonight's match !

[GustavoGanso]

no surprises for me, Magnano use bench, Varejao spared. The calendar favors us.

Nope that was not a travel, the first 2 dribbles were part of the cross-over, you should start the count when he started to pick the ball with 2 hands, and that's only 1 step. He is just too quick.....

Yes, he is quick but the slow motion capture clearly shows that he travels.

Yes, he is quick but the slow motion capture clearly shows that he travels.

As I mentioned, you should start counting when he started to grab the ball with two hands, though it would seem he already grabbed the ball with 2 hands on his 2nd step (due to camera angle) but he didn't, hence, he only took 1 step.

Additionally, when you are on a motion to score, you are allowed at most 2 steps before you launch a shot, and with that said, he did not travel.

[Perseus]

it 's not travel ,hr carries the ball.the do it all the time ,in an other mised dunk of Iguadola (i think ) he moves his feet 3-4 times but nothing .

That's true Mohsen, Brasil didn't play well, but Iran wasn't mentally ready to take advantage. Samad & Aidin would have helped a lot, Afagh playing instead of Davari and Zandi for ~30 min would have helped too

It was the most obvius traveling violation I ever seen. 3 steps while holding the ball. Clear enough.

[planaria]

It´s easy come from three point line for a dunk when you´re allowed to give one more step than everyone in the planet...







Let alone the fact that he was much more closer from a 4th step than the regular one.

LOL, you really cannot believe huh, it is truly amazing isn't it?.... The second picture is when he started to grab the ball with 2 hands, let's say that's the 1st step in the shot motion, the third picture is his 2nd step and he jumped for a dunk at that point.... no travelling .....

if you still can't believe it, a question for you, if the 1st step is the second picture, how can he take two or more steps to get to the third picture without going out of bounds? You think those are just "baby steps"? Of course not, those are hop steps (see http://www.wikihow.com/Do-a-Basketball-Hop-Step)
