Playoff playoff in A basketball. Bucchi with Doubt-Bilan. The people of Sassari return to PalaSerradimigni after almost two months
SASSARI. Bilan or not Bilan, only one doubt for a match which Dinamo today asks for certainties and confirmations. At 6 pm Bertram Derthona arrives at PalaSerradimigni, a brilliant freshman who shares fourth place with the Sassari and is an important playoff that is worth the launching pad towards the best possible playoff grid. For this reason, in addition to winning, it would not be bad to overturn the -6 (95-89) collected in the first leg to Tortona. Bilan, or not Bilan. And Dinamo compared to Tortona, Trieste, Reggio Emilia and Brindisi that flank them have yet to recover a game, at home against Virtus Bologna.
Coach Bucchi has already outlined the new-old arrival as an extra weapon and not as a patch. Technical qualities, basketball intelligence, knowledge of the environment and half a team make the long Croatian a confident starting from the quintet but this Dinamo with Mekowulu and Diop under the boards is turning which is a beauty, has won – and well – the last two away matches in a row and the watchword at this point, in a championship terribly fragmented by Covid and the stops for the national team, is “continuity.” So only at the last moment, after having been able to ascertain at the end of the few training sessions 2.13 from Šibenik with his teammates, the biancoblù coach will make his choice: Bilan, not Bilan and therefore Mekowulu, or the third way to leave a winger in the stands, Kruslin.
Then, eye and head to the field, in finding his fans after almost two months against a Tortona who wants to return to shine after the home scoppola (64-81) with Milan. “Sassari awaits us, a very different team compared to that of the first leg and among the best in the championship – explained yesterday the coach of the Piedmontese, Remondino -: we will have to be good at facing the emotional and mental difficulties of a match in away, taking care of the little things that make a difference. Let’s forget Milan, we want to continue, already from Sassari, to be the good team of these first twenty games ».
