Sassari towards the best form, the match against Milan on Wednesday
SASSARI. “Regardless of the result, I’m very happy, nobody likes to lose but we played a real game, showing a great spirit of sacrifice.” A step away from the certainty of the Scudetto playoffs and with one foot out of the darkest period, between injuries, positivity at Covid and the exit from Europe, coach Gianmarco Pozzecco sees the glass half full despite the defeat suffered yesterday by Dinamo in Treviso for 89-85. There are some regrets: the offensive rebounds granted to the opponents have nullified the comeback of the last fraction, but the coach is indulgent with a convalescent team. “We are living in a particular moment,” confirms Pozzecco.
“If we had taken just one of the three offensive rebounds in the final, perhaps it would have gone differently – he adds – but it is useless to complain”. Also because the opponent must be honored. “Treviso plays very effective basketball – concludes the biancoblu coach – I congratulate them”. Seven rounds from the end of the regular season, Sassari remains in fifth place. Of the eight teams that would go to the playoffs today, Dinamo is the one that has played the least: three matches less than Treviso, which yesterday hooked it in the standings, two less than Trieste and Pesaro, which complete the post season grid, two less of Venice, which precedes Sassari by two points, three less than Bologna, third in the standings, one less than the leaders Brindisi and two less than Milan, second, with eight points more than Sassari, and which on Wednesday at 20.45 will be on stage at PalaSerradimigni. For Banco, winning against Olimpia would mean a lot, and not just for the standings. (HANDLE).
