The fourth window of the Basketball World Cup; Iran’s youth did not compete with Australia’s experience

According to IRNA, after the morale-boosting win against Japan in the fourth window of the World Cup, Iran’s national basketball team went to Australia to face the powerful Asian team in an away match in Bendigo. Considering the strength and class of Australian basketball, the possibility of Iran winning in this window was very weak, and therefore Armaghani rested some of his stars and took advantage of his young players.

In this game, he faced Australia with the combination of Sajjad Meshaikhi, Mohammad Jamshidi, Salar Manji, Sajjad Kabehan and Navid Rezaifar. The first quarter of this match ended with the result of 27:15 in favor of Australia, in the second quarter Armaghani’s students performed better and managed to end this time 15:14 in their favor.

In the third quarter, the national team of our country implemented the personnel measures well on the field and managed to win 28-24, but in the fourth quarter, the more experience of the host and the youth of the Iranian team made Australia increase the point gap and dictate its power over the Iranian team. and in the end to win with 95-66 advantage. Armaghani did not have some of his key pieces in this match. Hamed Haddadi, Behnam Lakhari and Arslan Kazemi were among Iran’s big absentees in this meeting.

At this stage of the World Cup window, Saeed Armaghani’s students are in the same group as Australia, China, Japan, Kazakhstan and Bahrain, but on their way to the World Cup, they played against China, Japan and Australia. China is very important for us and we have to leave the field with a win in the home matches. Of course, the results of other matches will also be important for us, and we should hope that the conditions will turn out in such a way that the Iranian national basketball team will qualify for the World Cup.
