The basketball team faces New Zealand in a difficult task during the World Cup qualifiers

Amman – The national basketball team faces a very difficult task when it meets its hosts at 8:10 am, Thursday, Jordan time, in the fifth window of the Asian qualifications for the 2019 World Cup to be held in China.
The national team ranks fourth in Group V (the first of the decisive round), with 13 points, two points behind the new leader of New Zealand, and comes the Lebanese team in second place with 14 points, the same balance held by the South Korean team, while the Chinese team ranked fifth With 12 points, two points ahead of the Syrian team at the lowest.
South Korea will host Lebanon and the Chinese team will meet with its Syrian counterparts: on December 2, the national team will face South Korea, while New Zealand will host Syria, the team Lebanese goes to Beijing to face the Chinese team.
The Asians advance to the finals with the best team in fourth place and if the Chinese are ranked in the top four, the fourth ranked players will also reach the final.
The national team has been preparing for this game for a long time and has organized two training camps, the first in Turkey and the second in the Philippines, before traveling to New Zealand early in order to overcome the long obstacle of fatigue.
The technical meeting of the match took place last night and the International Basketball Federation (FIFA) refused to approve the adoption of the American Justin Dentman as a new naturalist on the grounds that the required documents were incomplete, but gave in return an additional delay to the Basketball Association to involve the player in today's game. Is very difficult and requires the presence of the player in the kingdom to deliver these documents.
The cartel has been working hard to convince new US coach Joey Staiping and has already issued a five-year Jordanian pbadport to the player, but the International Federation's office requires a certificate of citizenship .
The Staiping coaching team faces the dilemma of preparing its players for this game. The absence of Dementmon will be painful, as the coach has developed his defensive and offensive plan based on the presence of the American player. Because the latter could only come to the camp two days before the match.
In the absence of Dintmone, Mahmoud Abdeen should take control of the video game industry with the support of Amin Abu Hawbad and Moussa Al Awadi, under the leadership of team leader, Zaid Abbas, who will replace Mahmoud Shahar instead of Abdeen.
The coach will regularly face Sinan Eid and Ahmad Hamarsha, with the possibility of using Yusuf Abu-Wazna, Ahmed Obaid and Mohammed Hbadouna under the basket of Lashnad Shaher, at a time when Abbas decides to play a bigger role in the back, while taking advantage of his abilities Malik Kanaan himself has been on the field for a while, especially in the absence of Dintmon. Jordan Al-Dessouki has been banned from the official list.
Due to the recent absence of New Zealand, which has left playmakers Corey Webster and Isaac Foto, coach Paul Henari has relied on veteran Rob Lo and quick playmaker Xia Lei.
Influential players under the basket, including Shaher and Abbas, must avoid excessive precipitation and calm, so as to avoid getting rid of the five personal mistakes, especially since the absence Ahmed Aldwairi puts the team in front of limited alternatives under the control of New Zealand players.
"We are going to play against a great team from the New Zealand squad, it will be a big challenge for us, the little playmaker who can handle things," Staeping told the New Zealand media last night. Tom Abercrombie is well placed, and Rob can offer a lot in 4 and 5 positions. "
"They have a lot of weapons and the depth they need, which is a big challenge for us, I think we are much better off than we start our career, we still have a long way to go. we hope to be competitive and have a chance to win the game in the last five minutes, "
