Philippines and Iran basketball match last September 13 was really a great start for both teams to deliver a good and excellent performance that really give satisfaction to both their fans and supporters. Iran really gives some better three-point range shooting that gets ahead over the Philippines possible counters. Sajjad Mashayekhi of Iran really done it well when he put a good average on his field goal shooting. He might have several misses but those are the results of good defense implemented by the Philippines throughout the entire basketball match
The Philippines try to catch up with Iran with the most shooting attempt in range to the keyhole since Iran has the best heights which the Philippines are having difficulty in penetrating whenever putting some points inside the paint. Philippine players should make sure that they put a good aiming position to make a good accuracy on their shooting attempts since they know that Iran has the offensive rebound power which the Philippines really wished they have it.
Aside from Iran's offensive power on rebounds, they still hold up a good defensive rebound from which we can see it from Arsalan Kazemi Naeini. Even if the Philippines has Standhardinger to provide some good assistance on rebounds. There are still tall guys that could overpower the Philippine team.
That is why the Philippines just make sure that they put a good use of free-throws, putting their all into it since it is the only way they could catch up with Iran. But still, that game wasn't for the Philippines. There had been a couple of injuries coming from the Philippine players that have been a result of total dedication to their basketball match against Iran.
The Philippines lost to Iran was an experience that could be a part of their lesson to do more and not be intimidated by sizes. Instead, they should look into the other part on how they could make a good use of players according to their performance and skill to the game. There are still two more months remaining for the Philippines to come up with better idea and strategy of how they could match effectively against Iran.
If the Philippines will not able to change their playing style or the players are not on their best conditions in the game then losing to Iran would be in high percentage. But Iran on the other hand still fully ready on what possible strategy the Philippines may use.
