China Defeats Lebanon and Iran in U-20 Second Round

China today beat Iran 85-71in the second round of the Asian Under-20 Championships, according to www.iranbasketball.org .  The box score is not yet available.

According to dashayu66 of www.yaomingmania.com/forum/index.php China beat Lebanon 100-83 yesterday in what sina.com describes as their "worst game of the tournament". Head coach Zhang Yongjun blasted his team after the game for lack of concentration as the players committed 17 turnovers and gave up many easy baskets on defense.

The score of this game is not available on the Iranian site, even though it was played yesterday.  Nothing about either game is currently available on www.fiba.com, which is inexcusable.

China will play Iraq on October 5.
