We lost 87/61 against NZ and miss the U18 world cup. NZ beat China in semi and reached the final.

We beat India 73/59 against India and we will have to play against SK for the fifth place.

I am watching the iran league I wonder where are our young players.

Damn our players are so weak on 3pts, even sometimes on 2 pts. The best ratio come from a black American. Wtf iranian does, they should spend every day training on 3 and 2 pts from every position

They need proper training on proper shooting. Also, to have success in shooting you also need quick release which is rare in an Iranian player.

It doesn't seem to be the most difficult thing to improve even without the proper shooting.
With a low 2 and 3pts ratio, how can we hope something in basketball?

This is not something that can be addressed at the senior level, at least for a quick fix. You need to instill proper foundation at the youth level. When I am playing pick-up ball at a rec center, I see how kids with the help of grown ups (albeit a coach, parent etc..) go through various shooting drills. We need that kind of foundation in our youth program in Iran. Look at what the splash brothers (Steph and Klay) did to NBA. Everybody, including their cousins, are taking threes and with an incredible accuracy. You are no longer seeing many back to the basket (post-up) plays anymore. You see everybody can handle the rock (whether you a PG, SG or even a center). Back in the day it would be comedic to see a center dribble the ball down the court.

So you can see there are many areas of the game that Iran is unfortunately light years behind other countries. We were lucky enough to witness an interesting time in our TM with Hamed's arrival in early 2000s and other players. That moment is gone and we have not been able to replace that talent. The only way to replace and replenish is by proper foundation. We need proper coaches coaching at all levels. I don't live in Iran so I can't tell you what the structure looks like. Given the way the 2 most popular sports are handled (football and wrestling), I am fairly certain that lack of foundation is even worse for basketball.

I attended a french league game with Mohammad Amini playing. Showed some good things but was expecting much more from him.
