Basketball, after almost a month in apnea the biancoblù have resumed their march
SASSARI. The goal of fourth place as a flame to keep the tension high even in this substantially useless final of the regular season. And the desire to improve to try to get back to top condition in the most important moment of the season.
The Scudetto playoffs are still beyond the horizon, the Serie A championship is wondering about the quarrels related to the Covid-19 case that has temporarily put Brindisi out of action, but in the meantime Dinamo plays, has fun and wins. The third consecutive success, obtained against the Unahotels Reggio Emilia, was on the whole less brilliant than the previous two, against Brescia and Trento, but it is still the son of an attitude of full awareness in their own means that the boys of Gianmarco Pozzecco found later a very complicated month.
Breath, legs, head. The recovery of the physical integrity of a bit of all the members of the roster has completely changed the cards on the table for a group that this season had to reset everything and start again. The last blow, however, was really heavy, with three coronavirus positive, two injured and the whole group in quarantine for two weeks. Banco has gritted his teeth for almost a month, has collected some good blows (out of the Champions League, -31 at home with Virtus), and has seen the relationship between president Sardara and coach Pozzecco further crack. Then, with patience, the biancoblùs began to climb the slope, finding – in addition to team balance -, one after another all the protagonists of this season. If with Brescia and Trento Dinamo had perfectly managed the advantage built at the start, the opposite occurred against the Reggiana of coach Caja: a decidedly slow start, also thanks to the great first half of the opponents, was followed by a comeback built piece by piece, almost without haste. As only trustworthy teams are able to do.
MiroBilandia. As much gold as it weighs, as much weight as domination over the parquet. Even in diesel format, Miro Bilan confirms himself as an out of the category element, one of the brightest stars of the Serie A championship. Already included in the five possible MVPs of the season, the long Croatian also collected the endorsement of Pozzecco, which has launched the sprint in the presence of the Milanese Leday, another absolute star of the championship. The former Asvel is in the top 10 in six statistical items: points (6th with an average of 17.2), rebounds (3rd with 8.1), percentage of 2 (2nd with 67.2%), plus -minus (7th with 6.1), fouls suffered (2nd with 5.6) and evaluation (1st with 22.9 on average).
SuperBenji. Speaking of superstars. The rare times that Eimantas Bendzius did not shoot, Dinamo lost. Now that the Lithuanian winger has overcome the after-effects of the injury, his performance, on average high throughout the season, has literally taken off. In the last three races he has always reached 20 (20, 28, 25) and in the last two outings he has performed in a fireworks 10/11 from 3. The Legabasket award for best market hit of the season does not exist, but Federico giemme Pasquini in this case is the moral winner.
Towards the playoffs. Now Dinamo must think about managing physical and mental energies in the best possible way, because the playoffs will start in over two weeks and in the meantime the calendar remains rather uncertain: the commitments set would be that of Sunday in Brindisi (Covid of Brindisi permitting) and the one against the already relegated Cantù on Saturday 10 May, for the closing of the regular season. Then, one way or another, another championship will begin.
