INCREDIBLE FINAL | Lebanon vs. Australia | FIBA Basketball

itching to get some get some looks down low. McCarron for three. Good. Maka attacker. So, two trips already. No points. William McDow White goes in as That’s what coach Alhazard’s asking for. You have to run transition B. Alihaidar. Wow. Arai drives in and that’s this time by Pender. And now chance for Elaro to bounce pass and Mr. reliable 11 have the opportunity but they’re making mistakes like that themselves and look at McCarron somehow they maintain possession there opens though he takes the three Alihidar competes goes up and boy he’s allow the boomers to get those boards and you can’t turn it over here if you’re high and you do and look at that maker got rid of it quickly now The crowd is indeed pulling for Lebanon. Channing defense. Ducas from the right corner. McCarron gets it to Big Smooth. Fades. He’s open. So he takes it, but that’s short. A chance to run. It’s going to be a rare layup for Mazir. And that becomes anyone’s game as we’ve seen so many times in this tournament already. Free fake again. open and this time. Wow. That would be a a story. Well, the Rock should just make.7 rebounds and they get it to Maker. There he is. Recar over to Arachi. It’s over. It’s the only way they’re going to get back into this game if you ask me to hit a hot run from outside. And the man who just missed two free throws has no problem. Iraqi. Wow. Drop over to Ellie Shamoon. Goa. [Applause] Oh, have done that. It’s so impressive, particularly as it’s coming out of the hands of their youth players, their young development players. Doric for three. Good. Do they have the uh the gas in the tank to play that style of defense? Australia taking seconds off the clock. McCarron, look at that maker. He misses it, gets the rebound, and that says it all in your house. And this time you see that’s at stake here at the end. It makes it all worthwhile for one of these two teams. And right now it looks like it’ll be Australia unless Lebanon do something special. Haidar goes in and despite the attention of Froland scores. Just tremendous effort from Haidar. He has been unreal today. You know, you talk about veterans. We’ve done it repeatedly in this tournament, but he has just lifted himself to the occasion and they have forced a turnover quickly to Ellie Samu. He’s just going to take the layup. Wow. And he’s fouled as well. Unbelievable. How about this? And you’re right, the spring for Australia. You look at the body language now. They’re not confident. The heads are slightly dipped. They’re a little bit more They’re not confident they’re coming away with gold. And that’s the first time in the entire tournament I think I can actually say that they’re not 100% sure well that they’re leaving with the trophy now. Well, we’ve seen them in this position against New Zealand and they’ve come down and hit big three-pointers. We’ve seen Maker and then Mcdow White hit a couple of big threes. Is that going to be what bails them out? Cuz if Lebanon get it back, you like their chances of scoring. Here’s Madal White. It’s rebard’s got it. One minute. You know, he’s special in these moments. He wants isolation. He wants to do it on himself. He puts up a three and he’s fouled. Unbelievable. How do you foul it? Not come back to to hurt them, but maybe today that’s the day where it does. An important part of the game. [Applause] In fact, he missed four himself now. And that’s Yeah, that’s huge because it’s still a two possession game. If you’ve made all three, it brings it back to a one possession game. That changes the dynamic now. for Lebanon. Well, will Australia go inside to Maker? [Applause] Keep it out of the perimeter. Will Reese V attempt to three? Will it be Mcdow White? McCarron gets in the paint. Back outside. Mcdal White for three. Haidar rebounds the miss. They got to go quick. They got to go quick. They need two scores. They can’t take their time. They can’t take their time. Wild Arai has it guarded by Baker. He goes around and he puts it up in P within two. They’ve got to get a steal. But then again, don’t forget Australa struggling at the free throw line. They got to foul. They got to foul. They got to foul him. They got to foul. Oh, no basketball to be played. Oh, ice. 18 years old. didn’t even hesitate at the line to win a continental trophy to win the Asia Cup. Unbelievable. Oh, he does it again. Has to be quick. It doesn’t matter what the score is. It has to be quick. Shimon gets it. He’s got to turn it for three. Unbelievable. And they’re going to call a timeout. Yeah, absolutely. They’ll advance the ball. Wow. 17. Quick foul now for Lebanon. Quick foul. Quick foul. Yeah. Yeah. Just one from three. [Applause] Love this game. He does not. They’ve got to move it. They’ve got to move it. It’s hard. He puts it up. It’s off. And Haidar, he had more time. And Australia have held on. They just could not get the shot across big core. They couldn’t get it across. Australia just survived. 7573. Unbelievable. And I guess in some respects this makes that title all the more special for Australia cuz they had to really grind out a win at the end. For me, it shows you the quality of basketball in Asia. This tournament that we’ve had, this pinnacle, the climax is exactly what this tournament has been about from the first day all the way through. 36 games now and it’s just delivered world class basketball. It’s been a joy. So well done Mitch. Well done Australia. So let’s watch the celebration. They’ve rehearsed this, no doubt. [Applause] You can see the teams that have the players that are really together and this is Australia. Yeah, absolutely. The team spirit in that team, the unity, the one vision, you know, that that one drive. This is how we’re going to play basketball. We’re going out to win. It was there from the opening tip to the final buzzer. Little bit shaky against Lebanon, but absolutely phenomenal. You know, Australia deserve to be Asia Cup 2022 champions.
