Onuaku with 22 points and 8 rebounds was the top scorer in the victory over Trento. However, the American center did the performance with his new team Hapoel Tel Aviv. On Sunday in Trento Dinamo will have Stephens for a match that could represent a psychological turning point. Less talent and power, more availability for the team, Stephens together with Diop will have to make an effective performance in attack, because the Trentino defense will certainly focus a lot on the arc of the three points.
Winning in Trento means making a double leap, because you reach the Dolomiti Energia at an altitude of 18 but with a 2-0 advantage in direct matches given the 81-76 victory in the first leg. In that match Onuaku actually proposed a modest performance, with 11 points and 3 rebounds. Better Diop with 12 points, 7 rebounds and a lot of defense.
Who knows if Trento will be affected by the efforts of a cup that sees it in the penultimate place with the result of 2/11. Surely the Sassari team took advantage of the week of work not only to maintain the condition of a growing group but also to try to recover point guard Robinson who has been out for two weeks due to muscle problems.
