Teams Preview
Mongolia Preview
Mongolia's last match was an impressive 98–64 victory over Vietnam. Mongolia controlled the game from the beginning, leading 49–26 at halftime and eventually winning by 34 points. Enkhiin-Od Sharavjamts led all scorers with 20 points, while Azbayar Altangerel posted 10 points and 10 rebounds. Mongolia shot 54% from the field, 62.9% on two-pointers and 43.3% from three, showing excellent offensive efficiency.
Mongolia should look to stretch Thailand's defense with their excellent three-point shooting while using Sharavjamts as the primary scoring creator. Their 43.3% three-point shooting against Vietnam is a major weapon, so they should use drive-and-kick actions to create similar open looks. Altangerel should attack the offensive glass and exploit his size inside.
Defensively, Mongolia need to close down Lish and prevent Thailand's guards from getting downhill, while keeping Ejesu and Jakrawan away from easy interior finishes. If Mongolia can maintain their shooting efficiency while winning the rebounding battle, they have a strong chance to control the game.
Mongolia on average score 98 points per game they score 62.9% from the field and 43.3% from the arc. Mongolia grab 43 rebounds per game .
Thailand Preview
Thailand's last match was a dominant 94–59 victory over Fiji. Thailand led 47–29 at halftime and pulled further away in the fourth quarter. Frederick Lee Jones Lish scored 23 points, while Emmanuel Chinedu Ejesu recorded 13 points and 11 rebounds. Thailand shot 46% overall, 53.5% on two-pointers and 35.5% from three, while holding Fiji to 35% shooting.
Thailand should look to use Lish's perimeter scoring and Ejesu's interior presence to attack Mongolia's defense, mixing pick-and-roll actions with quick ball movement to prevent Mongolia from setting its half-court defense. They should attack the paint first and use the resulting defensive rotations to create three-point opportunities.
Defensively, Thailand need to limit Mongolia's transition game and put pressure on Enkhiin-Od Sharavjamts, while using their size to keep Azbayar Altangerel away from offensive rebounds. Controlling the defensive glass will be especially important because Mongolia already showed strong rebounding against Vietnam.
Thailand on average score 101.5 points per game they score 61.6% from the field and 35.9% from the arc. Thailand grab 45 rebounds per game .

MONGOLIA vs THAILAND
Winning PredictionThis is a very close matchup, but I give Mongolia a slight edge because of their 43.3% three-point shooting, 27 assists per game and home-court advantage in Ulaanbaatar. Thailand have the more established leading scorer in Lish and showed excellent defense against Fiji, so they can absolutely win if they control the perimeter.
