The beautiful victory over Trento confirms the progress of the Sassari team
SASSARI. Dinamo Banco di Sardegna will not go to the Final Eight of the Italian Cup, but with yesterday’s victory against the revelation Trento, they definitively rediscover character, play and optimism. An 88-80 victory gained at the end of a match fought point by point until the last quarter, when the biancoblu dragged by a super Robinson gave the decisive breakthrough to the game. The victory is not worth the miracle of the Final Eight, because the two points do not allow Dinamo to reach the eighth place in the standings necessary for the qualification for the Italian Cup scheduled from 16 to 20 February in Pesaro.
But a Dinamo like the one seen yesterday on the PalaSerradimigni parquet has all the credentials to aim for the Scudetto playoffs. Without coach Bucchi stopped by the positivity to the covid, and with the center holder Mekowulu in half service due to an intestinal indisposition he had just the night before the game, the biancoblu were perfectly directed by Giacomo Baioni.
«Thanks to the staff who transmitted their confidence and thanks to the team that played an excellent match; despite there have been partials, we managed to take away a fundamental game. Trento did well to return, we resisted the rebound, we remained lucid and we defended with energy despite some 3-point shots that were too open. It was one of the best defensive performances of the year. We are very keen to dedicate the match to Piero Bucchi, an exceptional person to whom all our thoughts go today », commented the assistant coach at the end of the match. Next match on Sunday at 8.45 pm in Brescia, no longer to chase the Coppa Italia finals, but to build the Dinamo from the playoffs. (HANDLE).
