MANILA, Philippines - Dumiretso sa kanilang ikalawang sunod na panalo ang two-time champions Iran matapos igupo ang South Korea, 76-65, sa Group C sa 27th FIBA-sia Men’s Championships kagabi sa Mall of Asia Arena sa Pasay City.
Nanggaling ang Iran sa 115-25 pagdurog sa Malaysia, habang nagmula ang South Korea sa 63-59 paggitla sa nagdedepensang China noong Huwebes.
Mula sa 30-34 agwat sa first half ay sumandal ang Iranians kina 7-foot-2 center Hamed Hadadi at Sammad Bahrami Nikkhah para iwanan ang mga Koreans sa 51-41 sa pagtatapos ng third period.
Ipinoste ng Iran ang malaking 14-point lead, 64-50, mula sa basket ni Hamed, naglaro sa NBA para sa Phoenix Suns, galing sa pasa ni Mahdi Kamrany sa 4:12 ng fourth quarter.
Humugot si Hadadi ng 15 sa kanyang game-high 30 points sa final canto bukod pa sa kanyang 13 rebounds, 1 shotblock at 1 assist.
Nakatakdang labanan ng Iran ang China ngayong alas-5:45 ng hapon.
“China is a very good team. They’re coming off a championship in FIBA-Asia and they come here to win, and so as we,†wika ni Hamed sa Chinese team.
Samantala, bumangon naman ang China mula sa nauna nilang kabiguan sa South Korea matapos ilampaso ang Malaysia, 113-22.
Hindi naglaro para sa Chinese si dating Milwaukee Bucks center Yi Jianlian dahil sa iniinda nitong hamstring injury.
Umiskor si Wang Zhelin ng 21 points para banderahan ang China kasunod ang 17 ni dating NBA player Wang Zhizhi at tig-16 nina Zhu Fangyu at Ailin Guo.
“We want to put in a team with a strong mentaÂlity because any pressure or any game is important. If we think we are just plaÂying a weak team, then we’ll lose something,†sabi ni Greek coach Panagiotis Giannakis.
