At 7 pm today 8 September in Masnago the biancoblù will open the double trip to Lombardy. Family challenge between Stefano and Alessandro Gentile
SASSARI. Two trips in a row, two engagements within 36 hours to begin to become familiar with normal rhythms, made up of flights, hotels and – luckily – a lot of basketball. For Dinamo today a three-day event in Lombardy opens which will be very useful for putting fuel into the engine but also to try to give a clear mark on the way to the Supercoppa Final Eight. Tonight at 7 pm Demis Cavina’s Sassari will do visit to Openjobmetis Varese of coach Adriano Vertemati, on the third day of the mini-round of the Discovery + branded competition.
Two nights ago the red and white came out quite clearly defeated by the PalaRadi of Cremona, where Paolo Galbiati’s team managed to capitalize on the very heavy break scored in the third period (32-17). Vanoli, in turn, had just returned from the defeat suffered on their debut at Banco di Sardegna, at the end of a much more balanced race than could have been expected. of the preparation and the mental impact with the debut in front of his own public, he remained a bit on the starting blocks, suffering the performance with all the heart and “lightness” of Peppe Poeta and his companions.
This time, regardless of the values that emerged in the Cremona-Varese direct clash, Dinamo will face an overall more reliable test: both because the excitement of the debut is behind them, and because the Openjobmetis is covered and more complete in all. the roles (Vanoli had no three Americans and actually played without centers). The play Trey Kell, the latest acquisition from Varese, will not be in the game, but the role is still covered with the former Virtus Roma Anthony Bean.
The lead man is undoubtedly Alessandro Gentile, yet another return to Italy for a possible relaunch. Waiting for him, in the biancoblù jersey, will be his older brother Stefano, now a Dinamo veteran, with whom he has already had the opportunity to confront himself several times in his career. Last time two seasons ago with the Trento shirt, Coach Cavina has already reiterated that for his Dinamo these are useful tests especially in the future, but the qualification for the final phase of the Super Cup, scheduled in Bologna from 18, passes even for at least one external shot. Today could be the right occasion, then Friday in Cremona (where we will start from +9 of the first leg) we will see.
