Christmas lunch and then departure to the Republic of San Marco, which from September indicates not only the saint also represented with the winged lion, but the arrival of the Sassari playman Marco Spissu. It is played on Boxing Day at 6 pm and the thought goes back to eight years ago, when Dinamo won the treble in Varese 117-113 after two overtimes with 40 points from Sosa and 30 from Dyson.
Although PalaTaliercio has always been difficult in the championship playoffs (0/7), in the regular season the Sassari team was able to make a bang. Last year (it was December 12th) coach Bucchi celebrated his first victory on the biancoblù bench: 76-70 with an impressive last quarter of 26-11. Protagonists point guard Robinson with 20 points and 7 assists, wing Bendzius with 14 points and also the big Diop, more effective than Mekowulu in defense to contain a double-double Watt (20 points and 11 rebounds).
Gentile remained on the bench because he was not physically in good shape, but tomorrow he could return even if not at his best after the tonsillitis, while wing Treier will have to wait a couple of weeks.
Watch out for the three-point shot: Venezia is the most accurate in Serie A with 40.6% not only because Spissu shoots with 49% but also the other guards Granger and Freeman, the alapivot Willis and the former Brooks who shoots a few triples but puts one out of two inside.
