Hashemi: Everyone is a partner in basketball victories

According to IRNA, برد Mustafa Hashemi after the victory against Bahrain in the first qualifying window of the 2023 World Cup added: “It was a difficult game and we revealed a lot of balls.” On the other hand, the Bahrainis played a lot in me and the situation became a little difficult, but these issues will be resolved through practice.

He continued: “The most important thing for a coach is to change the players’ habits, which requires time.” You have to change the players technically, which is a bit difficult. I think our players are worthy players who have proven themselves and they were the ones who won the game in the third quarter.

The head coach of the Iranian national basketball team reminded: ‌ I hope that with the support of the basketball family, we will end the return match with a victory, because 12 points at this stage is very important. We will go to China and Australia in the next round and we have to get the necessary points from now on.

It is worth mentioning that the Iranian national basketball team defeated Bahrain 82-66 in a home match in the first window of the 2023 World Cup and started its work with a victory. Our national basketball team on the way to the 2023 World Cup and in the first selection window must hold its return match against Bahrain on December 29 in Manama. In the next step, the Iranian national basketball team will host Kazakhstan on Tuesday, March 26, and will host Syria on the eighth day of the same month in the Azadi Basketball Complex.

Mustafa Hashemi’s students will face Kazakhstan and Syria away on July 10th and 13th, respectively. At the end of the first round of the 2023 World Cup qualifiers, which include the first, second and third windows, the top three teams in each group will advance to the second round of qualifiers, which includes the fourth to sixth windows.

Accordingly, 12 teams from the Asia-Pacific region will advance to the second qualifying round of the 2023 World Cup.
