All bark, all bite, all victories: Tabiats undefeated start | Fiba basketball

Beirut (Lebanon) – If you heard of Tabiat Barking during the content of the table basketball, it was not a stray dog ​​that was easy. That was just the squad who aspired to her boys, as Hoopers only know how – because if you have this dog in you, your team ensures that everyone hears it.

And now two games in your Fiba Wasl Westasia debut? Yes, Tabiat has a complete kennel.

Two games. Two coarse -grained victories. Still unbeaten.

Brandneu in Wasl, but already as they belong, the season opened the season with a shabby victory against Sagesse 88-87 and supported them by holding Al Difaa 92-88 and having a late thrust with coupling games at both ends.

Amir Gholizadeh: The birthday wish

25 was still undefeated. Bark only gets louder.

The game day against Al Difaa landed on Gholizadeh's birthday, and while his numbers remained stable (5 points, 3 rebounds), his focus has not been postponed. After the young veteran, who played 3 seasons in Wasl, set up 5 points in the opener against Sagesse, it is about getting better and winning.

“I have the feeling that I have more and more space to improve myself,” said Gholizadeh before the competition. “The competition gets better every year, so I'm looking forward to getting better with the new players and more experienced players.”

And how for his birthday wish?

“There is only one wish to say. I hope we will definitely win everything,” he said when his teammates barked in the background as a sign of recognizing the dog in him.

If you wonder who he is most excited?

“To be honest, every team I am looking forward to and hopefully we can do everything our best and win.”

Sina Vahedi: The Breakout star

Last season with Gorgan in Wasl was Sina Vahedis Coming -out party. Now? He ensures that nobody forgets the name.

After a strong start with 11 points and 7 templates in the victory against Sagesse, the 23-year-old stood against Al Difaa, fell by 23 points, hit four three and added 4 assists and 2 steals. But this run does not happen by chance.

“I had good memories of Gorgan in Wasl,” said Vahedi. “It was so difficult for us because we went to the BCL Asia and we went [made it to the Semi-Finals] At the end … “

Now I'm with the Tabiat team. [I’m] I try to do something better than last season. I hope to make good memories in Wasl with Tabiat. “

And there was certainly a lot of work that could get behind the scenes to achieve this.

“Especially last year, everything I did was exercise, practice, practice,” said Vahedi after the victory against Al Difaa. “Concentrate on my game at both ends of the soil. Especially last year for coach Shahintab – during practice and helped me to learn better on both sides of the floor and get better what my main goal is.”

And what worried or anticipate, especially about opponents? He just holds it.

“No, I'm just doing my best,” Vahedi claimed, lit a round of Bellen in the background of his teammates.

Ivan Buva: The big dog in the middle

Tabiat's young core brings the bite and triggers the bark. How for Ivan Buva? He brings the muscle.

From the jump, BUVA made his presence feel 26 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists against Sagesse with a monster. He pursued it with another big night against Al Difaa (20 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals), but for the 33-year-old it is never just about the numbers-it is about capturing and keeping it calm, especially when things get tight.

BUVA said after the first victory: “We showed character. We didn't give up.”

He was there before. He breaks down the team how to deal with these moments.

“I try to teach them that we cannot win immediately in the first five minutes,” said Buva. “We have to build out of every possession … In today's basketball, if you mess up two or three possessions, the team comes back pretty easily. I try to be the guy who calms down things when the team gets hot.”

This presence was felt against Al Difaa again after Tabiat wiped away her 15-point lead. You actually even feel back in the last minute before digging deep into your difficult mentality to get to the top.

Still bark. Still bites. Still unbeaten.

Two games. Two close calls. Two victories.

Tabiat's first Wasl -West -Asia run could not have a better start, but the real challenges are okay.

And while people circle the big names and matchups in the league, Golizadeh and Vahedi don't sweat it. This team is not worried about who is next. You just want to win – whoever is on schedule.

Next?

On March 7, Tabiat will take over against the defending Wasl West Asis, Wasl Final 8 and the BCL Asia Champions al Riadadi. Then, less than 24 hours later, close round 1 against Amman United, led by Jordan's Elite Backcourt -Duo by Freddy Ibrahim and Amin Abu Hawas.

Big games in advance mean potentially large crowds that you can play, which BUVA can hardly wait – especially according to the impression against Sagesse.

“It is obviously always good to play in front of the fans,” he said after defeated Sagesse. “… with the fans, [there’s more dimension]. There is boost to you whether it is against or for you. It is the motivation to fight more to show that they also motivate them.

“If [there are] No fans, there is no point in basically no meaning to play, “said Buva.” Who do you play for? For the fans. To entertain them. “

New team. New era. Same mentality. Barking dogs dogs – and they come for everyone.

Ruff, Ruff.
