SASSARI
Arriverderci Europe. Dinamo’s tenth continental campaign ends with a painless and widely expected defeat. In the last match of group A of the Champions League, the Sassari of Piero Bucchi give way to Lenovo Tenerife. In a sleepy and semi-deserted PalaSerradimigni he ends 63-84: between a team already eliminated and without the two plays, Robinson and Gentile, and one already certain of qualification but still stronger and more determined, the difference is obvious. The Spaniards immediately take control of the match and hold a double-digit advantage until the end, between 12 and 22 points, while the Banco gives ample space to the second lines and interprets the commitment as a good training in view of the important challenge. on Sunday in Bologna.
Dinamo starts from the (bad) defense on Sunday and concedes 19 points – to 7 – in less than 5 minutes. On -12 Bucchi asks for a timeout, sends Battle and Logan in, and the team enters the game. Inertia remains firmly in the hands of the Spaniards, who defend hard and run well, closing the first period on a comfortable 16-25. Bucchi keeps Devecchi, Treier and Diop on the field at the same time, but Tenerife has a whole other step and a whole other freshness: Salin places a 4-point game, Shermadini dominates in the area and for the Banco they are pains. A break of 14-0 arrives for the guests, who from 19-25 fly to 19-39 when there is still more than 5 ‘to rest. After the bomb of Fitipaldo, Burnell restarts the biancoblù but the situation remains complicated. Tenerife almost always makes a basket (23-45), Dinamo manages not to completely exit the match thanks to the low post plays by Burnell, who scores 8 points in a row. A shock also comes from Battle and Sassaei goes back from -22 to 32-48 in the middle of the race.
In the third period Dinamo tries to increase the pace in defense and on the other side finds some good plays with Battle and Mekowulu. The gap is getting shorter, from 32-51 to 41-53, if nothing else the Banco is alive and does not pull the oars in the boat. At 25 ‘Burnell and Chessa already have 4 fouls, Tenerife has the bonus from his and from the line he regains altitude. Marcelinho Huertas, of pure class, stretches again and at the third siren Tenerife is ahead 47-65. Bucchi gives a whole quarter to Gandini, who does not give up, and entrusts Marcelinho to Devecchi; Dinamo grit their teeth in defense and play to have fun in attack. The gap remains wide, but it doesn’t grow that much: 48-70, 54-72, 58-77 with a couple of good plays by Treier, who then comes out with 5 fouls. Two Borg triples in a row send Banco to -24 (58-82), then it’s just the wait for the siren, which arrives at 63-84. And now head to the championship.
