The coach doesn't give discounts: "Dinamo played a great match, it's not just a question of tiredness". Ivanovic: "They were better. But we'll be ready"

Lapidary and laconic Dusko Ivanovic's comment at the end of the match. "Sassari played stronger, faster, with more energy and better than us – explains the coach of the Black V –. This is the simple analysis of the match. It is not a question of tiredness or underestimation of the match on our part, Dinamo simply played a great match, approaching the match much better and this aspect allowed them to play better. We will now start again by preparing for the next match and being ready".

While the team was busy on this trip, Bologna Justin Jordan completed the necessary procedures to be able to train from today at Arcoveggio. The guard who has a long career in the NBA has passed the medical tests and therefore has been given the green light to work in the gym. According to the first tests, his fitness is within an acceptable range, although he has been out since last May when he played his last game with the Denver Nuggets.

Now he will have ten days to demonstrate that he can be useful to the black and white cause and the final word on this aspect will be coach Ivanovic. The doubts about the fact that a 36-year-old player is being inserted into a group with a very high average age remain, but it is also true that from what we saw yesterday at Sassari someone who can even just lend a hand is essential to avoid continuing to ask for overtime from those who have been pulling the cart since the beginning of the season. His talent is beyond discussion and this is also a variable that should not be underestimated.
