While in the city, and beyond, there is enthusiasm for the return to biancoblù of the Croatian center Miro Bilan, vacated by the Ukrainian club Prometey, the Sassari team is in Trieste. Bucchi's team prepares the recovery of the fourth return not played due to some positive Covid conditions found in Dinamo. It is played on Wednesday at 8pm and is one of the many playoff matches for the promotion playoffs. The Sassari roster remains the same one that has conquered Trento with authority. Bilan's insertion will take place in the next few days.
Trieste is only two points ahead with one more race.
Victory . It is valid for the Banco to reach the quota 20 where Reggio Emilia and Brindisi are stationed (on which Bucchi's team boasts a positive balance) and Tortona, next opponent to PalaSerradimigni. The ideal would be to be able to overturn the -9 of the first leg. That defeat for 73-84 could have been even more substantial given the -32 in the third quarter, but thanks to a final 32-12 fraction the biancoblù limited the damage.
The opponents . Compared to that game, there is no longer the former Argentine player Fernandez, who usually made great performances. Without him only a success in the last four days. US guard Alexander has arrived who had a flop debut with 0/5 shooting, but he will surely play better. The dangers are represented by the Banks-Delia axis: the sniper scores 16 points with 39% in the triples and also distributes over 4 assists; p ivot Delia is a player of substance who guarantees 11 points and 6 rebounds.
Trieste is a solid formation in defense, second in defensive rebounds (almost 29 per game) and in assists, even if Fernandez's departure had an impact.
