Basketball Serie A. The Sassari face a relegated but dangerous team. With a success, Bucchi’s team could enter the playoffs already tonight
SASSARI. It matters little that Vanoli won the first leg (89-80), it matters little that since then a lot of water has passed under the bridges and that in the meantime Cremona (Italian Cup and Scudetto semifinal in 2019) is already relegated today, while Sassari reached the fourth position and then settled in the current sixth. What matters for Dinamo is to take two points up for grabs at PalaSerradimigni (20.45) to hopefully enter the playoffs as of today (it would be enough for one of Reggio, Trieste and Pesaro to lose), without thinking in depth that all in all those points will come by right. And not even the heavy absences in the Lombard home should deceive the biancoblù, who apart from Chessa will have everyone available. Against the team from the city of Stradivari you need not only a super rehearsal of some solo violin, but a first-rate performance by the orchestra as a whole.
Progress. In this sense, the success of Naples gave comforting indications: the defense, fourth best in the league, gives security, Kruslin was also decisive offensively after several opaque tests, Logan regained confidence with the basket and this time Sassari was able to keep his nerve. at the end. It is still too hard to make a basket «but it is due to the percentages of some players who are more or less in shape – says coach Bucchi -, the shooters are not always at the top. I’m relatively worried about the few baskets because in any case the shooting choices were right ». Among the positive things there is also the reliability of Burnell: “It is clear that he is a fundamental player for us – explains the coach – the important thing now is that the rest of the team also has a constant performance”.
Previous. Banco di Sardegna and Vanoli have already faced each other on 27 occasions, 18 of which won by Dinamo, in particular in Sassari the Giants have won 10 times out of 12. In addition to the first leg match, the Cremonese coach Paolo Galbiati won another precedent with coach Piero Bucchi, the one last year, when the current Dinamo coach was in Cantù.
Don’t trust it. “Cremona is a very athletic team, in this championship it has produced less than it could have because it had a bit of bad luck – says Bucchi -, but it has a good group and for us it would be an error of presumption to think we can win it easily. , we must win it by engaging in the field, sweating it as we did in Naples ».
