No there's quarter finals. The thing is China is in group F and Iran is in E.
Iran needs to get first to avoid China because if they get 2nd, they will face China most probably. This is why.

Quarter Final 1: 1E vs. 4F
Quarter Final 2: 2F vs. 3E

Winners of QF 1 and 2 play in Semis

Quarter Final 3: 2E vs. 3F
Quarter Final 4: 1F vs. 4E

Winners of QF 3 and 4 play in Semis

You can see China who will most likely be 1F and if we get 2E and win the quarters we will class with China Also 3F could be Lebanon who pushed China til the last second and lost 68-71 today.

So we need to WIN tomorrow vs. a tough Korean side to avoid this and get 1E for an easier/safer route to final gurantee our place in Turkey

I've watched Korea at times in this tourney and they have great quick counter to score so Iran needs to work on that in their defense. They have this guy who's 3 cm taller than Haddadi and bigger as well who used to play for Portland Blazzers for half season before going back to NBA. He is OK but not as good as Haddadi. Korea always get the ball to him or their other center and if he's being guarded well he passes to someone who shoots a 3 points (they're deadly on this)

What Iran needs to be is be QUICK on defense because Korea are blazing fast and force them to go for the 2 pointer with good defending outside the circle while Sahakian and Haddadi defend the two inside. Haddadi has to succeed in this game, he will have a tough task vs. Ha but we need him to perform and block those shots and not get fouled out as he will needed the whole time. If Iran do this and take it step ahead of what they did in Philippines game, then def Iran will done. Nonetheless tough task for Iran.

Why are you guys affraid we will crush China!!!!

[EKBATAN]

what worries about our team is TURN OVERs....They tend to rush alot of times and give very bad passes...same with fast breaks, we're good at creating them but the finishing is terrible, they usually run fast and then lose the ball when they get close to the basket
