Dinamo isn't yet at full strength, "but having two players back for practice and one for the game is already a lot," coach Veljko Mrsic admitted honestly. He's referring to Lithuanian guard Beliauskas, who will play Sunday at PalaSerradimigni against Cremona (kick-off at 4:30 p.m.), while Johnson will need another week to recover.
In the first leg, the Sassari team lost in Cremona 79-75 after leading for a long time. Johnson was also missing from that game, as was Ceron, who for a couple of weeks has been excelling in filling the void of small forward Marshall.
Coach Mrsic outlines the opponent's characteristics: "Cremona is one of the surprises of the championship, especially with how they started. They play quickly, shoot well from three, and are dangerous on the offensive rebound. We'll have to focus on these aspects to limit them."
