Why was not enough? An analysis of Max: Germany vs. Jordan 9/5/19 8:22 AM Maximilian Rau For Germany, apart from the mentioned mini-Olympics opportunity, it is of course also about a little reparation after the blamable failure in the preliminary round. Germany vs. Germany Jordan 9/5/19 8:20 AM Maximilian Rau The Jordanians are all about Dar Tucker. The native American is an outstanding scorer, has already scored 44 points in two games. The threesome rate of the Shooting Guards has been bad so far (4/16), but the Germans have to pay special attention to it. Jordan also has a strong player among the baskets: Ahmad Al-Dwairi, also known in Europe as Ahmet Düverioglu. The Turkish-born center (hence the two names) is 2.10 meters tall and plays for the top Euroleague team Fenerbahce Istanbul. So no easy task for the German Big Men.
