Banco di Sardegna is called to immediately raise its head before making participation in the playoffs uncertain.
The appointment . Sunday evening in the postponement of Naples at 20.45, the biancoblù will have the small advantage of already knowing all the other results. Not that it changes much, but the victory on the Neapolitan parquet could also rekindle the flame of hope to grab the fifth place. However, Naples prepared for this match with the watchword "let's save A" and called its fans together. A warm environment that coach Piero Bucchi knows very well as he led the club first to the top flight and then in 2006 he also won an Italian Cup. In the first leg, in Bucchi's debut, the bitterness of the defeat in the sprint: 74-75, with two wrong shots for the victory.
The opponents . Compared to that match, Napoli has changed their coach (there is Buscaglia, former Trento and Holland coach) and has two new players: the veteran Luca Vitali, former Brescia playmaker who was out of the team, and the Gudaitis center, former center of Milan that freed itself from the Russians of St. Petersburg. Elements that give solidity to a group that has offensive talent, thanks to the guard Rich and the wings Mc Duffie and Parks who together guarantee 42 points and 16 rebounds. The play Velicka is another double-digit player, while the Italian patrol relies on the long Zerini, the alapivot Lombardi and the outsiders Marini and Uglietti.
Although it is the number 17 confrontation between the two clubs, it is just the second in the top flight, because before the challenges were all played in A2.
