So that’s all for this LIVE LIVE. Greetings to all OA Sport readers and good continuation of the evening!
Before closing, it is right to join the tribute to Jack Devecchi, a man who lived 17 seasons with just one shirt, something that goes far beyond the unreal in sport, not just in basketball. And it is he who is touring the entire PalaSerradimigni, no one leaves and everyone will try to find a place in the Dinamo club house, for the right recognition of a man who gave his career to the Sardinian land.

IT ENDS HERE: Olimpia Milano in the final, the third in a row, the twenty-first since the start of the playoff era.

Last minute, while everyone is standing at the PalaSerradimigni for Devecchi, 811 games with the Dinamo shirt.

61-88 In Entrance Hall. 2′ at the end.
61-86 Fly to crush Hall. Whistles of the PalaSerradimigni, difficult to understand (or maybe not) to whom.

21:58 Teams back on the floor, the third quarter is expected.
21:55 The three-point shot is the key tactic: both teams are bad, but Sassari is worse than Milan with 2/13 against 4/13. Very high percentages from two, 14/19 for the hosts and 12/19 for the visitors.

20:30 Good evening to all OA Sport readers, and welcome to the LIVE LIVE of this (perhaps) decisive race-3.
Gara-1 – Gara-2
Good evening to all OA Sport readers, and welcome LIVE LIVE of match 3 of the Serie A 2022-2023 Scudetto semi-final series between Dinamo Sassari and Olimpia Milano. EA7 Emporio Armani leads 2-0 over Banco di Sardegna.
The classic of the last almost 10 years of Italian basketball stops at the PalaSerradimigni. And he does it on a special day for Dinamo, because the concession to the club for the next three years of the arena has been confirmed. An important step to be able to plan for the more distant future, while the next one speaks of a series that can already be closed today by Milan, in the hunt for the result that will save a season of a thousand misfortunes.
These are the words of the eve of Peter Bucchi: “We have shown that we didn’t go to Milan to waste time. I’d like to give our fans a gift, if we were to bring the game home it would be really nice“. And, in fact, it could also happen: after all, the history of the series between Milan and Sassari has often given us moments to remember.
So instead Hector Messina: “There are races where you shoot very well and you stretch, others where it doesn’t and you have to find other ways to win“. The reference, obviously, is to race-2, and to the moment in which Datom’s Teeth he did what he often knew how to do in his career: get his teammates out of trouble.
Race 3 between Banco di Sardegna Sassari and EA7 Emporio Armani Milano will start at 21:00. Have fun with the LIVE LIVE of OA Sport!
