"We want to try to get to the race four pushed by our fans." Coach Piero Bucchi said it immediately after the mocking defeat at the Forum in the second semi-final: 80-75 for Milan with Dinamo who twice missed the chance to shoot for an overtake.
The third semifinal is scheduled for Thursday at the PalaSerradimigni (starting at 21) and it's time to hunt for a ticket. The fans, like the team, refuse the idea of being eliminated after three games and want a victory that is worth the fourth semi-final, again in Sassari.
Meanwhile, the two matches against Milan brought Eimantas Bendzius to the podium of the best scorer ever in biancoblù. The Lithuanian winger scored 2021 points between the championship, Italian tournaments and the Champions League, surpassing Travis Diener who had reached 2002. In second place is always Drake Diener: 2,518 points in all competitions. However, Bendzius has another two years on his contract and therefore can undermine ManDrake.
Banco expects another sniper test in game three: his triples were fundamental for the excellent start that allowed Sassari to play it evenly until the end.
