Kazakhstan basketball coach: Iran is respectable; We won a tough game

According to IRNA, after his team’s victory over Iran in the qualifying window of the Basketball World Cup, Darko Rousseau stated: “According to our knowledge of Iranian basketball, we already knew that an easy game was not waiting for us.” It was like that and it was a tough game. Iranian basketball is one of the Asian powers and they are respected.

He continued: “We were not good in defense and rebounding in this game, but in the second half we were able to win with high confidence and more effort, and we are very happy about this.”

“We are a long way from the World Cup and in the next round we will have to play against Australia and other teams, we have to keep trying so that we can finally qualify for the tournament,” the Kazakh coach said of the team’s promotion to the World Cup. Let’s get it and this is what will be determined in the future.
