Team Melli sealed one of the biggest comebacks in FIBA Asia Cup history, beating Chinese Taipei 78-75 in the Quarter-Finals at King Abdullah Sports City on Wednesday night

"I believe when we were not making shots, that bothered our mind and mentality," Manolopoulos said.

"At halftime, we had a long talk, and we changed the approach. We had to start from defense, to play aggressively possession by possession. We knew we will get our shots, and this time, we will make out shots. For the second half, we played to our maximum."
