Having just missed the Coppa Italia Final 8, Dinamo Sassari begins the second half of the season with two goals: the minimum is to avoid relegation, the maximum is to try to reach the playoffs. Their match on Sunday, January 18th at the PalaSerradimigni (5:00 PM) against Napoli Basket will be a step in that direction.
Center Nicholas McGlynn introduced the game like this: "We have to play as a team, everyone has to contribute, especially on defense, it takes a collective effort."
The Sassari team is coming off heavy losses against Reggio Emilia and Zaragoza , games played without four foreign players. Two will also be out on Sunday: guard Beliauskas and forward Marshall . The team hopes to recover at least one of point guard Buie and guard Johnson .
The Yankee pivot observes: "A lot of things didn't go the way we wanted in the last two games. They were good opponents, but that doesn't justify the performance. We have to stay focused, and personally, I have to learn from the mistakes I made, working on the details so as not to commit too many fouls while being carried away by my energy."
