Haddadi: I will accompany the national basketball team in important games

According to IRNA, “Hamed Haddadi”, the star of the Iranian national basketball team, said after the match against France in the Olympics: “Today we played much better against France than against the United States. I always said that every few years we have the chance to play with big teams.” We have and we must make the best use of these opportunities. I did not want to play today due to my injury, but I did my best by eating painkillers. Some scenes I was behind because of the pain I had, but the kids tried to help me.

Regarding the block shot on Rudy Gubert’s hand, he said: “In that scene, Gubert was hesitant between Lineup and Dunk. He wanted to dunk, but he saw that I was there and he applied for my line and I arrived. If he applied for Dunk, I would not have arrived.” . He is a respected player and one of the top 5 defenders in the NBA. In general, France has a good team and they played very well.

The star of the Iranian national basketball team continued: I do not intend to say goodbye to the national team at the moment, but I try to be less and only attend important games. I would like to help the national team as long as I can score points. Everyone says that I am older, but there are players in different countries who play until they are 40 years old.

He added: “Because of the injury I have, I have to reach my body more so that I can play more.” I used my body too much, so there are injuries.
