Saudi Arabia is upset by Jordan to be promoted to second place in the group! Rahman scored 57 points in two games, and the host is aiming at the quarterfinals?

In the early morning of August 8, the group stage of the Men's Basketball Team in the Asian Cup continued, and the Saudi Men's Basketball Team narrowly defeated the Jordanian Men's Basketball Team 77-73 and won its first victory. Saudi Arabia, who was at home in this game, led by 4 points in the first quarter, scored 27-14 in the second quarter and directly widened the gap to 17 points. In the second half, Jordan was led by Abracine and Alhamma Sheikh, especially in the last quarter, it was 20-10, but it was still too big to make a comeback but failed.

This game is very important for host Saudi Arabia. They rose to second place in the group after being upset by Jordan, and their remaining opponent is the weakest Indian men's basketball team. In other words, Saudi Arabia has a great hope to end the group stage with the second place in the group. Jordan depends on the expression of Saudi Arabia vs. India. Unless Jordan can defeat the top Chinese team in Group C, it is likely that Jordan will be third.

Group C has to play second in Group D [It is difficult to play one of the two in China/New Zealand], and the second in Group C is the most likely to play the Philippines, so it is still necessary to compete for the second in Group C. The Philippine men's basketball team structure is very poor this year.

Saudi Arabia can defeat Jordan, with Jordan ranking 34th in the world, while Saudi Arabia's world ranking is only 65th. Who would have thought that Jordan would capsize in the gutter?

In the previous second Asian Cup strength list, Saudi Arabia ranked 11th, Jordan ranked eighth, and Jordan's overall strength is definitely stronger than Saudi Arabia.

Can Saudi Arabia win or rely on Rahman who works in Serie A. He is really too strong. He made 8 of 20 minutes of the game, 3 of 11 of 3 points, 6 of 7 free throws, scored 25 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals.

In addition, Alsouvillem made 5 of 11 shots in 30 minutes, scored 14 points, 15 rebounds and 1 assist. Saudi Arabia won the game in this game with the combined efforts of these two people.

Rachmann is the player who played against the Chinese team in 36 minutes, made 8 of 19, made 4 of 9 three-pointers, and scored 32 points and 3 rebounds. As a player who has played in the NCAA for four years, his pure American style is very interesting. He has played in Serie A, La Liga, Polish League, and Barcelona Premier League since 2018. He is the key to the host being able to compete for the second place in the group.
