U16亞青籃賽／戰火中重生敘利亞返國際賽

受到內戰嚴重影響的敘利亞，今年克服萬難重新回到國際賽舞台，昨天U16亞青男籃賽以74：63擊敗巴林，贏得艱辛萬苦的國際賽1勝。 敘利亞總教練沙卡說：「站在亞青球場的每一分鐘，我們都值得替自己喝采。」 自2011年反政府活動進入高峰，受到最大衝擊的就是國家籃球發展。敘利亞的阿勒頗是整個國家籃球發展重鎮，敘利亞的籃球聯賽分為南北區的各4支球隊，其中北方聯盟的球隊都位於阿勒頗，其重要性可見一斑。甚至在國家隊12人名單中，就有10個球員來自於北方聯盟。 敘利亞自從2011年亞錦賽後，就不曾派隊參加大型國際賽，敘利亞籃協秘書長艾卡菲說：「大馬士革是敘利亞的首都，但論籃球，阿勒頗才是國家的中心，但這座曾經美麗的地區，現在已經面臨最糟糕的處境。」 阿勒頗不僅是敘利亞第1大城，也是阿薩德政府軍和反政府軍的交戰次數和傷亡最嚴重的地區，雙軍甚至在此施放化學武器。敘利亞籃球水準並不差，他們曾打進2009年U19世青賽，但近年內戰卻讓籃球基礎建設損失慘重。 今年敘利亞U16平均身高僅有183公分，只有兩個球員超過190公分，但在艾卡菲眼中，卻是一群讓他非常驕傲地孩子。他說：「我對這群孩子感到非常驕傲，我們只有在賽前集訓幾個星期，並將集訓基地從阿勒頗改到大馬士革。當我們和他們家人溝通，他們準備參加亞青賽，家人們只對我說『請保證我的孩子平安回來』。」 接下來敘利亞首要目標是擊敗香港，以確保進入16強。沙卡說：「我們並不想就此打道回府，這支球隊還有更遠大的目標。」 而中華隊本屆小組已經篤定取得12強資格，上一戰以109：82擊敗哈薩克，今天將迎戰菲律賓，爭取預賽分組第1。 Read more [...]
