The last match of the year, anticipation of the antepenultimate round of the first leg, saw the victory of bottom-up side Reggio Emilia over the surprise Pesaro 95-76. A success that reveals how in this championship there is no candidate for relegation (the last two go to A2) and therefore there are no obvious results, except for the matches that see Virtus Bologna and Milan on the field, which are also engaged on 2 January in the big match.
This is why the result of Sassari-Brescia (PalaSerradimigni at 20.45) is worth double: whoever wins doubles the chances of accessing the Final 8 of the Italian Cup, whoever loses is out and in the case of Dinamo must watch their backs, because the next match will see Bucchi's training engaged right on the Reggio Emilia field.
In short, this is the moment to make a change in a so far rather anonymous season after the incomplete exploit of the Italian Super Cup. Banco has become a team, but it remains to be seen whether it can go beyond the limits of a staff that from a technical point of view is inferior to that of last season, especially inside the area.
This is why it is important to understand whether Gentile and Treier, who have already been stopped for two weeks, will be able to return.
