LEBANON VS MALAYSIA FIBA ASIA U18 CHAMPIONSHIP REVIEW

LIB/MAS - Lebanon win big, but coach Sarkis far from “fully satisfied”

SANA’A, Yemen (21st FIBA Asia U18 Championship): WABA U18 champions Lebanon emerged a runaway 96-67 victor over Malaysia on Saturday but coach Ghassen Sarkis was far from satisfied.

“Some of our wins have been big, no doubt, but we can do with a lot of improvement in a lot of areas,” he said.

This was the first game, in four outings, Ahmad Ibrahim didn’t finish as the leading scorer for Lebanon – that honor going to Samer Ozeir.

“In fact that addressed one of our concerns. It was beginning to look like we depend too much on Ibrahim for our offense. We need to sort that out and have more options,” said Sarkis who took Champville to the final of the high profile Lebanese league last season.

“Both of them (Ibrahim and Ozeir, who play in the United States) joined us over the last weekend. They are very good players, but then our combination has gone for a toss,” he said.

“We have been working on it, but it’s not easy to get it going when the team plays for the first time together in the first game of a competition,” the 53-year-old said.

“I think even in defense we need to work more on the transition. But I am confident the boys will pick up game by game,” he added.

Further, Sarkis said: “The real competition has begun today. It is at this stage the real value of any team will be known. I hope we last the test,” he said.

Lebanon, thus took their win-loss to 2-1. Malaysia sunk to 0-3.

Lebanon next play Chinese Taipei on Sunday and Malaysia take on Kazakhstan.

“We have work to do tonight for that game,” Sarkis said of the game against Taipei.

LEBANON VS KAZAKHSTAN ASIA CHAMPIONSHIP U18-Ibrahim leads Lebanon past Kazakhstan into Second Round

SANA’A, Yemen (21st FIBA Asia U18 Championship): Spearhead Ahmad Ibrahim scored a game-high 27 points and WABA U18 champions Lebanon rolled past last edition’s silver medalists Kazakhstan for an 83-67 triumph in Group B.

The second successive win for Ghassen Sarkis’ boys thus put them in Group E of the Second Round in the competition. Lebanon had beaten Qatar on the opening day.

“I think our game was better than yesterday,” Sarkis said.

“We matched them (Kazakhstan) physically and hustled them well. I think that was the key to our performance,” he added.

“I am a little disappointed with the way we lost focus especially when we took the lead. That’s something we got plug as early as possible,” Sarkis said.

Lebanon raced ahead 22-12 to close the first quarter and never looked back.

“Ibrahim and Samer Ozeir are beginning to combine better. And today we tried Constantin Kodsi for our outside shots. It paid off,” Sarkis said.

Kodsi converted four of his five three-pointer attempts in his 16-point haul.

“We got better today,” Ibrahim said.

“I myself am beginning to play better together. I think we are on the right track,” he added.

“I am definitely disappointed,” Kazakhstan coach Boris Borissov said.

Alexey Verechshagin’s 25-point team high went in vain. Pavel Ilin scored 16.

“I thought we should have scored more three-pointers,” Borissov. Kazakhstan converted a mere five of their 21 attempts from long range.

“I think we can play better than this. I hope we do,” the coach said.

Kazakhstan 76-69 Korea Asia U18 championship

SANA’A, Yemen (21st FIBA Asia U18 Championship): Last edition’s silver medalists Kazakhstan arrived in the Yemeni capital with their baggage left behind in the transit airport and had to borrow hosts Yemen’s colors to play their opening Group B game against Korea. And it looked like the loss of their colors seemed to bother them in the opening minutes, as Korea raced ahead 17-5 in the first five minutes and seemed to cruise along.

All that bother for Kazakhstan coach the burly Boris Borissov lasted only till the latter part of the second quarter, as the Middle Asian nation made their to take charge and proceeded along to win 76-69.

Pavel Ilin, Kazakhstan player with the experience of having donned the Senior National Team colors – at last month’s 3rd FIBA Asia Stankovic Cup in Beirut – led Kazakhstan’s cause with 25 points.

The Almaty youngster who was rather subdued in the first half with only nine points, came into his own in the second and went on to record a 83% on the paint.

“I think our team revolves around him,” Borissov said.

Azim Yagodkin supported with 13 points and Pavel Dynnik returned a double-double with a dozen points and as many rebounds – the latter a game-high.

Sangheyok Han was the highest scorer for Korea with 16 points.
