In the fifth window of the World Preliminary Round, the Chinese men's basketball team will play against the Iranian men's basketball team today, the game time is 21:30, the Iranian team has announced the 12-man squad, including the 3 core Haddadi, Kazmi, Jamsidi, but the core of the backcourt Jacques Charlie is not in the list, will miss this game, Jacques Charlie is an important member of the Iranian team, 27 years old, 190 cm tall, is at its peak, in the core lineup, only Jacques Charlie is relatively young, the back line is in the early 1.8 meters, Only Jacques Charlie is relatively tall, Jacques Charlie has a strong scoring ability, in the last window of the World Preliminary Round, he scored 30 points in a single game, so that the pressure on the Chinese team's defender line will be much less, Zhao Rui is the only defender on the field who exceeds one meter nine, with an absolute advantage.
In this game, although Zhou Qi appeared in the squad, but the calf injury still has not healed, the coaching staff will use Zhou Qi according to the specific situation, Wang Zhelin will play more time, Shen Zijie's state is not too good, therefore, compared to the Iranian team's Haddadi, the Chinese team has no advantage on the inside line, although Haddadi is older, he is 37 years old this year, but he is in good shape, Averaging 16.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1 block per game in the first phase of the CBA, is still the absolute core of the Iranian team, especially when Jacques Charlie is not playing, the Chinese team should look for breakthroughs in the forward and defense lines.
The Iranian team's forward line is not short, with a number of more than two meters of forwards, although the Chinese team's forward line is more than two meters, but there is not much height advantage, Zhou Peng is 206 cm tall, it is the highest forward, Zhou Peng, Gu Quan, Zhu Junlong are all in the third position, only Ren Junfei is the fourth position, the core of the Iranian team's forward line is Kazmi, has NBA experience, once known as Asia's first small forward, 32 years old, although older, but in good shape, excellent athleticism, height and tonnage, The offensive end can shoot suddenly, and can also organize tandems, which is not too good to defend, and for the Chinese team, the forward line does not have an absolute advantage.
The Chinese team's guard line has a total of 6 players, but Hu Mingxuan strained his waist in yesterday's warm-up, so that only Zhao Rui is left in the back line is taller, reaching 195 cm, Zhao Rui needs to play a height advantage, the main point guard of the Iranian team, Jamsidi is only 185 cm tall, and the age is not young, he is 31 years old, in the previous World Preliminary Round, Jamsidy's state has fluctuated, if it is opposite to Zhao Rui, Jamsidy is at a disadvantage, due to Jacques Charlie's absence, The Iranian team only has a backcourt core of Jamsidi, if you limit Jamsidi, it is equivalent to cutting off the connection between the inside and outside of the Iranian team, after all, Haddadi and Kazmi need defenders to feed the ball, and there are not many players who can contribute to the stability of the Iranian team, Jamsidy as a backcourt engine, is a key player of the Iranian team, and Zhao Rui is expected to lock Jamsidy.
The Chinese team is currently ranked second in the World Preliminary Round group, the Iranian team is ranked low, due to the previous upset lost some games, resulting in a very difficult situation, this World Preliminary Round, Iran team will play against the Chinese team, Australia team, relatively speaking, the Australian team is much stronger than the Iranian team, Iran team wants to enter the World Cup, must fight for the Chinese team, and the Iranian team occupies the home advantage, these are the factors that need to be considered, the Iranian team has long been trained, the players are very tacit, it can be seen, Iran team attaches great importance to the game with the Chinese team, in the Asian arena, the Chinese team and the Iranian team are old opponents, during the last Asian Games, the Chinese team defeated the Iranian team in the final, it is by virtue of the physical advantage that in the second half of the Jedi counterattack, it is worth mentioning that Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, Zhao Rui all participated in that game, hoping to defeat each other again.
