From the moment of his arrival in Sassari, the play has changed the face of the team bringing personalities and record figures as a dowry
SASSARI. “I knew Gerald from having coached him in Rome, but I honestly didn’t expect him to have this kind of impact.” Words by Piero Bucchi, “music” by Gerald Robinson, the two men who have literally changed the face of Dinamo since their landing in Sassari. But if, as regards the skills and experience of the Bolognese coach, the curriculum speaks for itself, not even the most optimistic would have imagined the disruptive effects of the graft of the Nashville player.
Leadership. He was desperately looking for a leader, the Banco di Sardegna. He found it in this player who for a decade has walked the parquet throughout Europe (including Pesaro and Rome), but managed to leave a profound mark at high levels, perhaps only in Monaco. From the moment of its arrival in Sassari, Dinamo have won 5 out of 8 races, have qualified for the Final Eight and are completely back on track. Compared to its predecessor, the comparison is merciless from all points of view. Anthony Clemmons had lined up fairly modest figures from an individual point of view (10 points per game, with 39.3% from 2 and 34% from 3, just 6.2 rating) and decidedly terrible in relation to his role. in the team: 2.5 assists and a negative plus / minus of 10.2 per game.
Stunning numbers. Robinson has completely reversed the situation: his statistics speak of 17.8 points per game, with stratospheric percentages: 69.4% from 2 (43/62), 55% from 3 (11/20). And then 8.6 assists per game, an average rating of 25.8 which would be the highest in the whole championship, and a respectable plus / minus: 8.5. It goes without saying that in each of these items, Robinson is the number one of the team led by Piero Bucchi.
Like TD12 and Often. The 15 assists played on Sunday against Brindisi represent the absolute maximum of the season in Serie A and leave a profound mark even at club level: so far in the league the record belonged to Travis Diener (14 against Venice exactly 9 years ago). In the history of Dinamo at these levels, the feat had been successful in the European Cups to Travis Diener (15 assists against Red Star in 2012-’13) and Marco Spissu (15 against Tenerife last year).
Towards Trieste. On Sunday at 6pm coach Bucchi’s Sassari will knock on the door of Allianz Trieste, which is struggling with a very busy week. After the knockout on Monday evening in Naples, tonight at 8 pm Franco Ciani’s giuliani will be on the field against Nutribullet Treviso in the recovery of the 15th matchday.
