Indonesia’s Journey in the 2023 Asian Games: Results, Scorers, and Next Steps

The Indonesian men’s national team’s journey to the 2023 Asian Games is over. Indonesia is without a win in three matches. In the final match of the group stage at Zhejiang University Zijingang Gymnasium on Saturday (30/9), Indonesia lost 74-67 to Qatar.

Both teams put up equal resistance. Indonesia and Qatar each have the highest lead of eight points. In that match there were seven changes of position and five equal scores.

Qatar took momentum early in the fourth quarter after Moustafa Lashin equalized 56-56. Qatar managed to lead until the end of the match with a run of 11-20.

Qatar recorded more chances with 27/68 shots with 40 percent accuracy. A total of 25 offensive rebounds were successfully converted into 32 points. Meanwhile, Indonesia was helped by 12/30 three points and 11/15 free shots.

Yudha Saputera became Indonesia’s top scorer in three consecutive games. This time Yudha appeared for 32 minutes with 19 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. The Prawira Harum Bandung player fired 7 shots on target with 4 triple points.

Muhamad Arighi helped with 13 points and 3 rebounds. Kaleb Ramot Gemilang recorded 11 points and 3 rebounds. In this match Anthony Beane Jr. did not appear due to a shoulder injury.

From the Qatari side, Elhadji Ndoye recorded the highest score. He scored 21 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in 32 minutes. Babakar Dieng provided 15 points and 7 rebounds. Qatar has entered the second round and will meet the Philippines or Jordan in the race for tickets to the quarter-finals of the 2023 Asian Games.

Indonesia ended at the bottom of Group D with 179-239 points. Indonesia has certainly failed to achieve its target of entering the top 8 of the 2023 Asian Games. Previously, Indonesia suffered a crushing defeat 95-55 to South Korea and Japan 57-70. (rag)
