Jordan coach: “Greece is a top team, maybe in the Top 5”

Satisfied with Jordan’s combativeness towards Greece despite loss (92-71) the coach of the team, Wessam Al-Sous and the naturalized Roday Hollis-Jefferson were introduced. In fact, the former characterized Greece as a first level team.

“Congratulations to Greece for the victory. We fought, but in the fourth period we lost control. We had foul trouble, like with Hollis-Jefferson. We faced one of the best teams in the world, maybe in the Top 5. We were hoping for a better result, but we are satisfied with the way we played. Our bench didn’t offer much, especially compared to Greece. I hope we fix it as soon as we can. If we had more production from the bench, especially early in the fourth quarter, we might have had better luck in the game“, emphasized the Jordanian coach.

For his part, the former NBAer said: “We fought hard, we fell behind by a big margin but we didn’t give up and came back. Congratulations to my team for the victory, but also to Greece for withstanding our counterattack. I always try to do the best I can for the team, whether I play at ‘1’ or at ‘5’.” Unfortunately I had a problem with the fouls, here in FIBA ​​it is five and not out. I was asking the coach to keep me in. Unfortunately I couldn’t stay on the floor when the Greek team went on a run in the fourth period».
