Dinamo's second away game will be at the PalaTaliercio in Mestre on Saturday at 8:30 PM, not to face rivals Venezia, but to play against Mestre. Both teams have identical records: the Venetians conquered Turin but then lost decisively at home to Livorno, down 39 points.
Alapivot Simone Aromando, a former player of the day, introduces the match: "It'll be a different game emotionally for me. I played for three seasons, got promoted, and was even captain. They're a young team that loves to run and shoot early, especially three-pointers. Then they want to bounce back and will definitely play a tough defense. We'll have to match their energy and have a different approach than in recent games."
The Sassari team has captain Jeff Brooks back, who brings not only technical support but also leadership. However, playmaker Riccardo Pisano's chances of returning are slim.
