00:00If they did not have the experience of last year, they were trailing against Kazakhstan,
00:07they end up coming back winning 20-18 and then against Hong Kong, tough battle, came
00:13to the closing moments and they won 19-18.
00:18They're battle tested and guess what, this man right here, Al Musawi, wants to get battle
00:26tested, he wants that match-up, he wants that challenge.
00:32And the guard said, look, baby, you want that challenge, then answer the phone.
00:40I just rang you, two up.
00:52What's very interesting with this India team, they're athletic, they have great individual
00:58talent, so if they find the right chemistry and they get the ball moving, knowing that
01:04everybody can contribute to the team's effort offensively and defensively, they become a
01:10trouble, they become a troublemaker, they're problematic.
01:13Look at this, they love that action with Muthukrishnan driving hard to his left and making that wraparound
01:20pass for a popping sing, top of the key, that usually drops in, it's a good look for them.
01:28But Bahrain is a team that needs to be respected, truthfully.
01:34Bahrain lost 15-14 against Hong Kong.
01:37They competed and they came up short against Kazakhstan, losing 2016, but there are no pushovers,
01:44let me tell you that.
01:45Uh-oh.
01:46Uh-oh.
01:48Dagar.
01:49With another Dagar.
01:52You understood what I meant, right?
01:54Dagar, Dagar.
01:55Okay.
01:56I'm going to stop here.
01:57But.
01:59India.
02:01Starts up the game the way they finished the previous one.
02:05Hot.
02:08Three-point lead.
02:15That's a beautiful dive, beautiful entry.
02:21Once again, Amusawi, one of those players, but Dagar, shooting that thing insane.
02:31If Dagar shoots the ball that way, India is untouchable.
02:55That's the ball pressure.
02:58Created that turnover.
03:00Amusawi just getting bumped out of the way multiple times on the same play.
03:10Dang.
03:11Thank God.
03:12Just keeps on going to work, making it look easy, too.
03:18That's a great job, sealing, establishing position down low.
03:23That's what you call 3-3 transition.
03:26Dagar gets pushed to the back, draws the foul.
03:31The scoring pace at which India is bumping the score up.
03:41It's not likely to be a pace that Bahrain is going to sustain.
04:05That's a good kick-out pass.
04:09Prince, always aware, always ready to outlet as fast as possible.
04:14Singh, all the way, gets the bucket.
04:1910-5, five-point lead already.
04:24They're getting close to the first TV timeout.
04:26It's rare to have a team having scored 10 points in less than three minutes.
04:32Telling you the pace.
04:34Impressive.
04:35Singh, iso ball.
04:40Not going to be a whistle.
04:41Prince.
04:43Not connected to the rim.
04:45That's that ball.
04:46We're going to have the first TV timeout.
04:55It's a good two-man game right there.
05:02Dagar, heat check.
05:04And the heat checks.
05:05Going to have him go take a sip of water on the sideline.
05:13Hit that air ball.
05:15I'm going to say some ice water.
05:16Going from hot to super cold.
05:50Great handoff.
05:54Delane trying to go over Prince.
05:57But he's an intimidator down low.
06:01His length is quite a problem when you're trying to finish up the rim knowing that he's bouncy.
06:14Even if some time is going to intervene on the ball illegally, he's always willing to foul.
06:22He's always willing to go contest.
06:24Make efforts to prevent you from scoring.
06:45Prince managed some way, somehow, to keep control of the rock.
06:50That's a good pass.
06:55And Musawe finishing up the cup.
06:58And Dagar, that's not slowed down.
07:02And the response.
07:04You've got to love this guy.
07:06Al Musawe.
07:07Uh-oh.
07:08Dagar is having one of those games.
07:11And I'm talking about one of those games.
07:13If you know what those games are, you know which type of games I'm talking about.
07:18Dagar.
07:19Oh.
07:21And he thought about it saying, ah, man, I should have shot it.
07:24I agree with you, buddy.
07:25But it doesn't matter if you go to the cup.
07:27You compensate.
07:2815-9.
07:30And it's all the guard.
07:32Guard time.
07:36Pass.
07:37Extra pass.
07:38Top of the key.
07:38Wide open.
07:40No, sir.
07:41He's going to take it again.
07:42As he should.
07:44He's not going to get the foul call.
07:46Prince.
07:47Higher than everybody else.
07:50Missing.
07:51Surprising me.
07:53Nine.
08:14That was a tough take.
08:16See?
08:17Tested it well all the way.
08:19Dagar wants to keep up with the good work.
08:23That's a foul.
08:28We haven't reached the second TV timeout point.
08:32And India already, uh, potentially five points away from the win if the guard knocks down the free throw.
08:44That's a foul tool.
08:59Tungie does.
09:01Nothing but the bottom.
09:03You know what?
09:05Seven point lead.
09:12He's going to be in a delay of game, warning, potential technical foul, if you get caught
09:26doing it again.
09:40You know what is quite interesting for India, and I always think of it, is how young that
09:48roster is, because Pranav Prince, he's only 22 years old, Michelle Singh is 20, and Harsh
10:00Degar is only 21, so that's a team that can compete with anybody on the world stage at
10:06the U23 level.
10:09The truth of the matter is, they can compete even at the senior level.
10:15A lot of quality on that team.
10:22No love, Singh, patience.
10:25Put a little bit too much on it, but Prince, he's his brother's keeper.
10:34Finishing the game is going to be a formality for India.
10:36They're just playing too confidently, just too good.
10:40Prince wants to knock down the two, and he'll go at the rim, 19-10.
10:47They're going to have close to the fastest game of the tournament.
10:50Nice shot.
10:54Good morning, Degar, just finishing what he started.
10:58Masterpiece.
11:01I'm not sure of the total balance, but it has to be above 12 points outing.
11:10It has to be.
11:11It's between 12 to 15.
11:14Unquestionable.
11:16What a game.
11:18So, India, cleaned up the plate.
11:23Clearly the best team in the group.
11:25And Kazakhstan can have a lot of regrets, let me tell you that.
11:30A lot.
