Jordan Team News
As the tournament unfolded, Jordan’s performance seemed to deteriorate with each game. Perhaps their standout moment was against Greece, where they trailed by just five points at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson single-handedly pushed the game into overtime against New Zealand, while they were easily outplayed to the USA and Egypt.
This team revolves entirely around two players: Ahmet Duverioglu and the aforementioned Hollis-Jefferson. The rest of the team lacks any offensive potential. While Sami Bzai occasionally lands a long-range shots, others can’t even manage that. For any chance against Mexico, Duverioglu and Hollis-Jefferson must combine for over 50 points.
Jordan undoubtedly aims for a farewell win from the World Cup. They stand among the four teams that have lost all matches, and it’s clear they don’t want to remember this Asian tournament as one where they achieved a disappointing 0-5 record.
Mexico Team News
Mexico’s biggest disappointment came in the third round of the first phase. Defeats against Montenegro and Lithuania were anticipated, but few could have predicted Egypt dismantling them by 100:72. They somewhat redeemed themselves with a triumph over New Zealand, but the final judgment will come only after this match concludes.
Without a doubt, Pako Cruz is key player of this national team. He enjoys the freedom to execute his plays, often with effective results. Veteran Paul Stoll brings experience and the ability to slow down the pace when necessary, while Joshua Ibarra handles the task of battling opponents’ centers under the rim. Additionally, Fabian Jaimes contributes as another player capable of scoring double-digit points.
In the duel against New Zealand, Mexico displayed their commitment to playing until the end. If they finish the tournament with a 2-3 record, they could argue that they redeemed themselves after the embarrassing first phase. However, a loss could mean Mexico concluding the World Cup as one of the four worst-performing teams.
