The ugly duckling has become a blue-and-white swan. Six wins in seven games have reversed the trend of the season: from fears of getting involved in the fight for permanence in the basketball leagues to the consolidation of the playoffs. The success in advance against Venice for 90-81 brought Dinamo +4 from ninth place , the one that keeps them out of the championship play-offs, currently occupied by Reyer.
Now Bucchi's team can think about fourth place , the one that guarantees a possible home championship in the quarter-finals. The opponent to keep level with is Pesaro , because with equal victories over direct matches Devecchi and his teammates boast +30 in the basket balance.
As for the other competitors, Sassari boasts a 2-0 win over Trento , must overturn the -6 against Varese at the PalaSerradimigni and defend the +18 won in the first leg in Brindisi .
The situation seems really favourable, even if as the match against Venice has already shown, every match will now be a battle. However, Banco has shown that it is there physically and mentally, thanks to the growth of the entire workforce, including the longs. Never this season had the Diop-Stephens duo produced 31 points.
