Champions, Dinamo seek their first group victory in Thessaloniki

In the 90s beating the Paok in front of his audience was a feat, but tonight at 18.30 the Banco di Sardegna can make the bang. He has to do it, because in the six-game group four, only three wins are guaranteed to play the play-off for the Round of 16.

Coach Piero Bucchi asks for a reaction from the group after Treviso's lackluster performance. Of course, the absences of Treier, Devecchi and Dowe (in Europe there is no limit to foreigners) reduce staff and tactical choices but if nothing else Stefano Gentile is back, a wild card that can be used in three different roles (from play to small forward) and with teammates. different.

His "cazzimma" is just as necessary, because in Treviso even more than in Varese the competitive spirit was lacking in several biancoblù.

In the Paok the most dangerous players are the American playmaker Riley, the Dutch shooter Franke and the long expert Renfro. Limiting these three elements means having done at least half of the work in defense.
