SNB didn't kiss anybody for goodbye or anything like that ! he is not retired at least for now. still he is not going to Japan with the team. also Haddadi needs 3 weeks rest. he most probably won't go to Japan either (even if he goes he will be just a tourist and won't play)
today all big guys Arghavan, Mirzaei, Hassanzadeh fouled out ! and Hamed came to play one minute (even though it wasn't necessary with 10pts lead)
coach Shahintab was pissed off after the Game, he wanted to use this guy Geramipour but he can't enter Iran apparently for some stupid reasons , actually if he enters he can't leave Iran because of military service issue. they are working on a solution for him (now he is 26 and that can be solved by paying a bit) but until that, they still hope to have him in Japan.
I think the only good thing about today was the win, otherwise half-empty stadium, poor play, etc.

This is the end of China Blue. Now Li Nan is assured the 2019 NT head coach.

even if he was not a normal player , that's no problem since Iran has no naturalized player
but I think I didn't explain it well, our coach was pissed off about the rules in Iran, not FIBA. Geramipour played half a season in Iranian league and he was good enough to draw attention. but he had to leave quickly to not get trapped in Iran. like any other Iranian individual he has to serve two years in military service ! rules in Iran are not that strict about those who born and raised outside of Iran. they have to wait till they became 26 then they can pay for their military service. Geramipour is 26 now and our coach was expecting a quick solution for him but he was angry because in other sports (specially football) they solve such problems in a day while in basketball nobody cares. Geramipour still can play for them when they play outside of Iran but since he didn't train with the team at all that's apparently not going to happen.
I have to explain this, in Iran when you get 18 you have to serve 2 years in military. that's mandatory for boys. unless you are a student. and when you get that age until you solve it (by serving that 2 years) you need special permission every time you leave the country. even though professional athletes usually don't go to real military bases. for example years ago we had a military-based team "Sanam" (which was also rich and could pay them well) something like Sangmu in Korea and players like Samad served their military service by playing for that club. right now as far as I know there is no team in the superleague with military connection. so they either have to play in lower divisions or just postpone that. the only way to postpone that is making yourself a student. even though they probably don't even attend a class ! that's probably what younger players like Yakhchali and Mashayekhi do. but you can't do that forever. so if Geramipour enters Iran there is no special permission for him this time and he has to stay ! what our coach wants is special permission for him (or just let him pay for that which is within rules but needs lots of paperwork and takes time)
btw Iran NT left for Japan without Haddadi and of course without Samad NB (who left for USA). with only 11 players . only Yousefvand joined the team. since this is off season and players probably don't train much during their summer. there is no other player available to replace these guys ! and obviously they didn't care much about WC qualifiers to keep other players ready in case, Asian Games was their only goal this year. to be honest I think Japan will be huge favorite this time.

Originally posted by Dtown View PostYes they were quite the different team, 4 straight wins including wins over Australia and Iran. I still give them an outside shot to make it.

Which means as long as China wins most of their remaining games, Japan will make it if they don't do terribly vs. Kazakhstan. In other words, it won't have anything to do with Jordan. (Jordan isn't done but no way they'll finish ahead of China because China will play 2 games vs. Syria.)
It is unfair, because Group E is overall better than Group F. The two teams that qualified with Iran, Qatar and Kazakhstan, lost to Australia "C" by 52 and 53 points respectively.aim low, score high

Having equal numbers from East (including Pacific) and West Asia in the second round is also unfair. In this window, East Asia/Pacific went 10-2 against West/Central Asia. The only 2 eastern teams that lost were China Blue and Philippines Post-Brawl team, both closer to "B" than "A" strengthwise. No doubt Chinese Taipei can beat both Qatar and Syria (and in fact they did exactly that in the Asian Games without an import.)aim low, score high
