Iran basketball team lost to Italy

[Nokhodi]

They lost 76-55, which may not be a impressive score but lets remember this is the first time in years that the basketball team is playing a solid European team. Italy is ranked 7th in the world.
Next we play Italy again, and then Croatia and Algeria, then the team will later play friendlies against some of the teams participating in the Olympics in Beijing.
Little by little, hopefully this team gets better.

تيم ملي بسكتبال ايران در ديداري تداركاتي به ايتاليا باخت.
به گزارش خبرگزاري دانشجويان ايران (ايسنا)، تيم ملي بسكتبال ايران كه بامداد روز يكشنبه براي برگزاري يك اردوي آماده سازي و شركت در تورنمنت تداركاتي به ايتاليا سفر كرده است، شب گذشته نخستين ديدار خود را مقابل تيم ملي ايتاليا با شكست پشت سر گذاشت.
تيم ايران ساعت 23 دوشنبه شب به وقت تهران (20 و 30 دقيقه به وقت محلي) در برابر تيم ملي بزرگسالان ايتاليا صف*آرايي كرد و در نهايت با نتيجه*ي 77 بر 56 نتيجه را به حريف قدرتمند خود واگذار كرد.
تيم ايتاليا كه از 10 بازيكن اصلي خود در اين ديدار بهره مي*برد، توانست مقابل تيم ايران به برتري دست يابد.
رايكو ترومن در اين ديدار به جز جابر روزبهاني، سعيد داورپناه و علي باهران از ديگر بازيكنان تيم ملي بهره برد.
مهران حاتمي، مربي تيم ملي بسكتبال پس از پايان اين ديدار به خبرنگار ايسنا گفت: به جز دو بازيكن تيم ملي ايتاليا كه در اسپانيا حضور دارند، همه*ي بازيكنان اين تيم در ديدار مقابل ايران به ميدان آمدند و ما در واقع مقابل يك تيم كامل و قدرتمند به ميدان رفتيم.
وي درخصوص مسايل فني اين ديدار خاطرنشان كرد: براي ما اين ديدار جنبه*ي يك بازي تداركاتي را داشت. تيم ايران با وجودي كه بازيكنان اصلي خود را خيلي دير به خدمت گرفت و در شرايطي كه صبح و عصر هر روز تمرينات سنگين بدنسازي را پشت سر مي*گذاشت، عملكرد خوبي داشت، هر چند كه به اعتقاد من مي*توانست بهتر از اين هم عمل كند.
حاتمي تصريح كرد: در حال حاضر مشكل ما باخت يا برد مقابل تيم*هايي مثل ايتاليا نيست، مهم كسب تجربه*ي حاصل از مصاف با تيم*هاي بزرگ است. با اين حال در ديدار امشب كه دومين بازي ما مقابل ايتاليا محسوب مي*شود سه تغيير خواهيم داشت تا تيم را در شرايط جديد محك بزنيم.
تيم ايران امشب از ساعت 23 به وقت تهران در برابر تيم ملي ايتاليا قرار مي*گيرد. اين ديدار از شبكه *Roy ايتاليا پخش تلويزيوني خواهد شد.

This still isn't good enough. We need to cut the deficit against these big teams if we are gonna have any chance by the time of the olympics. Would have loved to watch that game!

The death of Aidin Bahrami has had a huge effect on the team, of and on the court. He was top 3-4 in the team. Lets hope the guys can come back and play good at the olympics.

How did the game against Australia go?

The 3 games with Australia are coming up in June

sorry for sounding like an ass, but who is he and what happened to him?

[princeofpersia1]

mkbf2, basically what happened to Aidin was that after a league match for his team Saba Battery vs Pardis, they had won but Aidin was supposedly tired and had injury. His coach recommended that he didn't drive home, but he decided to anyway. On his way up north he died in a car accident in Chalous.

The reason why it was of great significance is that he was very young (only 26), he was crucial player in the team and was a good friend with many of the guys as this team grew up with eachother. His brother Samad is also a TM player and is up with the best players in Iran. Because of how close Aidin was to the team, his brother and their success it has affected Iran a lot.

RIP Aidin

[RahmanRezai]

^^

Exactly, its so sad. His fiancee was in the car and died aswell.

Irans coach has expressed that the team is having a hard time emotionally and also on the court, because they cant find a good player as Aidin in his position.

[RahmanRezai]

Iran has alot of good games coming up against the top teams in the world. They couldnt have a better preparation than this. I wonder why our football team cant have the same preparations.

Yeah they are. I guess both teams want to get a feeling of how the other team is playing. I would say its to our advantage, as we have much more to learn than they have.
