At noon, the people of Sassari pay a visit to Menetti’s Nutribullet. After the slap in Tenerife, he hunts for the first external shot
SASSARI. A reinforced aperitif to close a decidedly demanding mini-cycle and try to finally close yourself in the gym to fix a few things. At noon Dinamo takes the field at Palaverde against Nutribullet Treviso in the matinee of the fourth day of the championship. For Demis Cavina’s Sassari this is the fourth away match of this first half of October, after those of Brindisi, Ludwigsburg and Tenerife. And it is also the highlight of a week spent practically all on the road.
In view of a week free from cup commitments, the biancoblù will therefore try to unlock themselves away from the friendly walls, where only defeats have arrived between the championship and the Champions League for the moment, not all of them exactly honorable. Demis Cavina asks for a reaction on a mental level, and does well, knowing full well that to get out unscathed from the Villorba parquet, no longer crossed as in the legendary times of Benetton but always extremely difficult, a high-level performance will be needed under all points of view.
Clemmons and his teammates will try to restart from the excellent first quarter played in San Cristobal de la Laguna against the battleship Iberostar, but being careful not to melt and to exit the game at the first difficulties. The second period in Tenerife has left its mark and as of today the Bank will have to show that it has learned its lesson.
The Treviso team of coach Menetti are veterans of the defeat on the field in Naples, which has somewhat curbed the great enthusiasm following the burning start in the championship: in the first two days Nutribulle has in fact won clearly (+15) on the field of the ambitious freshman Derthona, to then overtake Reyer Venezia at Palaverde in one of the most heartfelt derbies in the North East.
Compared to last season, with the fifth place in the regular season and the playoff quarter-final played against Virtus Bologna, coach Menetti lost David Logan and Christian Mekowulu, who landed in Sassari, has kept a good part of the roster structure (from Akele to Sokolowski, from Chillo to Sims up to Russell and the injured Imbrò), adding young and talented elements (Bortolani and Casarin junior) and already more experienced, such as the Lithuanian guard Dimsa and the long American Aaron Jones, former Bilbao and Chloet.
