A "contradiction" for Sassari: since he was in Serie A he may have left something to be desired in defense, but in attack he has always been or almost always among the most prolific teams. Well, in this championship he averages only 77.4 points, which in reality would be 75.5 without the extra figure played against Reggio Emilia. Dinamo is in twelfth-thirteenth position. Never so low.
The comparison. To give an idea: last year Banco scored 87 points per game, two championships made 79 (conceding just 68 against the current 77), in the season that began with Esposito they were 81.4. The 2017/18 line-up with Pasquini signed 84. And going back even further, almost all the teams coached by Sacchetti were above 80 points, except that of 2011/12 which had an average of just 73.4 points but in a championship where he scored a little, so much so that the booty was still worth ninth place.
Worry. What is worrying is not so much the comparison, but the observation that the attack of Cavina's Dinamo instead of improving seems to get worse. In the Supercoppa the biancoblù reached 83 points on average and the maneuver, despite showing the lack of knowledge between players, had good speed and discrete fluidity. In the league, however, the maneuver has become cumbersome, the play Clemmons holds too much ball, the transition is rare. Battle, who often traveled in double figures, appears in regression and in the league has a terrible 1/9 from three, above all he is unable to express his potential, which requires a faster game and in the open field.
Even the fact that Sassari is just twelfth in terms of assists is a fact that explains the difficulties in building the game, where the most reliable playmaker became Gentile, who last year only supported Spissu or Katic.
The budget. After 12 games played, between Supercoppa, Champions and league, an offensive physiognomy should be glimpsed, instead the improvements are only in the defensive phase. And this obviously cannot be enough, unless your name is Milan and you are capable of crushing the Italian opponents and keeping them at 71 points.
