All you need’s a strong heart and nerves of steel… FIBA in Asia!

Viva? Ok… well, the semi-finals both produced some somewhat unexpected results:

Lebanon defeated South Korea 76-74. Fadi El Khatib was clearly the best player in the game with 32 points, and could well be the player of the tournament.

Iran ran away comfortable winners over Kazakhstan, 75-62. This sets up an all-West-Asia final – Iran versus Lebanon. Should be a good game, but I’m not sure that Iran has anyone to answer to El Khatib. Lebanon to win a tight one, and take the championship.
