The competences of the two new bodies will range from territorial planning to infrastructure management from environmental protection to school planning With the publication of the relevant decrees in the Buras the Sardinia Region sanctions the institutional transition that redraws the administrative structure of the north of the island The Metropolitan City of Sassari and the Province of Gallura North-East Sardinia officially take over from the Province of Sassari closing a process that began in 2013 with the commissionership and consolidated with regional law 7 of 2021 "We hope that these new structures can respond more effectively to the needs of citizens both in terms of services and development strategies" says the councilor for Local Authorities and Urban Planning The operation aims at a governance that is more in line with territorial specificities with the objective of overcoming the rigidities of a single and centralized administration The two new bodies will have skills ranging from territorial planning to infrastructure management The role in managing supra-municipal issues such as water supply combating depopulation and responding to environmental emergencies will be crucial “Many problems raised by citizens cannot be solved by municipal administrations because they require intervention on a larger scale The creation of these bodies is precisely in this direction: to create effective and structured coordination capable of supporting even the most fragile situations,” adds Spanedda The Metropolitan City of Sassari will include 66 municipalities while the Province of Gallura North-East Sardinia will incorporate 26 The extraordinary administrators will guide the transition until the elections An institutional transition that marks a new phase in the management of the territory and in the dynamics of local development while in the case of another 10 the residents are at least 100 According to the numbers presented during the hearing promoted by the president of the commission between 2000 and 2020 the number of foreign residents doubled from decade to decade If in 1990 the most representative community was that of the Senegalese today the most represented nation is Romania Contrary to what happens for the overall population after a significant growth recorded from 1990 to 2010 The mayor of Olbia: “Name the Costa Smeralda airport after Karim Aga Khan” the gender composition varies from country to country: among Eastern European countries women prevail – in the case of Ukraine and Russia they exceed 80% – while among citizens from Bangladesh Morocco and the Philippines are fairly balanced Although it has also grown among foreigners over time the average age of those arriving from other countries is lower than that of Italians: 38 years for the former who today are over five years older than men those from Ukraine and Russia – mostly women – have the highest average age: over 50 years Bangladeshis and Pakistanis are those with the lowest average age Despite being 5,3 percent of the total population foreigners represent 8,1 percent in the 0 to 2 age group 7,6 percent in the 3 to 5 age group and 12 percent in the 26 to 35 age group Also due to the declining birth rate among Italian citizens the percentage of foreign citizens is also growing among new-borns: 40 out of 533 Over a third of foreign citizens live in the historic center chosen by the majority of representatives from Senegal The population of the old city is made up of foreigners for 25 percent The Caniga area follows with over 16 percent of foreign citizens: a figure that is influenced by a significant concentration of Chinese citizens “The numbers tell us that our city continues to lose young people and that the presence of foreign citizens is constantly growing with communities that are increasingly rooted and diversified,” reflects Councilor Manai “While Sassari struggles to retain its young people raise families and invest in our territory – he continues – if we want to combat depopulation and make Sassari a more dynamic city we must work to create opportunities for everyone promote integration and recognize that diversity is a resource and not a marginal phenomenon” The data processed and illustrated at Palazzo Ducale are the result of the collection activity carried out by the sector that “A city that welcomes and values ​​those who choose it and choose to live there is a stronger city and more capable of facing the challenges of tomorrow – says the councilor – The current municipal administration is determined to do its part The activity that sees us engaged daily is aimed at improving services creating effective inclusion policies and investing in training and work” Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker Cristina Pittalis urges mystery woman to come forward to help find son Michael The anguished mother of a British man who vanished in Sardinia this summer has urged a woman from Jersey who he was with in the days before he disappeared to come forward and assist with the police investigation went missing in mysterious circumstances from a farm in Luras barren area in the north-east of the Italian island on 13 July the day he was due to return home from a holiday visiting his grandparents The search operation was called off after just two weeks has travelled to the island several times in her unrelenting hunt for clues “Michael would never have willingly left his family – he would not have done that to us,” she told the Observer “I will never give up looking until I have answers.” Pittalis believes some of those answers could lie with a Jersey woman called Niomi who she had never met but who joined Michael about a week into his holiday so Michael asked his grandparents if she could stay with him in their home in Sassari for a few days The pair then travelled to Luras to volunteer on a farm in exchange for food and accommodation “Michael contacted me to say Niomi was expecting her father to arrive in Sardinia,” Pittalis said “He felt uncomfortable leaving her alone in a foreign country and went with her to this farm The plan was to stay there until her dad arrived and then he would come home.” According to accounts given to police and Pittalis by Niomi and the farm owner Michael returned from a walk the next morning in a confused state of mind They put him in the shade and gave him water only for him to go for a second walk and never come back T-shirt and trainers he had been wearing were found about 200 metres away meaning he would have walked off in his underwear laptop and mobile phone were found in the tent where he had been sleeping Niomi left the island soon after and has since been uncontactable by Pittalis “But it would be useful for her to tell me the story again to understand more about Michael’s state of mind,” said Pittalis “There are so many things that just don’t add up.” View image in fullscreenCristina Pittalis: ‘It’s impossible to believe that Michael would have just gone for a walk in such impervious terrain.’ Photograph: Cristina Pittalis/FacebookShe added: “It’s impossible to believe that Michael would have just gone for a walk in such impervious terrain – the land is full of scrubs and thorns; you cannot walk on it – and in temperatures of 40-45C My motherly instinct tells me that he was taken “Michael is an amazing young man who never judges anyone and is always happy to help people,” she said. “He adored and was very protective of his little brother, who is heartbroken. Michael and I are very close, and he always had the freedom to live his life, which is why I don’t accept people who say he just wanted to disappear.” Pittalis said there were no signs that Michael was struggling with mental illness: “He was happy; he was sunny.” Police in Sassari did not respond to a request for comment. Hundreds of volunteers accompanied Pittalis on a recent search on the island, and she will return on 6 December. “I am constantly appealing to the public to keep awareness high, as if there is no body, it means that Michael is still alive,” she said. “It’s horrible not knowing. We’re living in limbo. It’s extremely difficult to sleep. But I will never, ever give up.” This is the archive of The Observer up until 21/04/2025.

victory The third consecutive defeat in the championship costs the Bianconeri the escape in the standings of Venezia the direct competitor for eighth place that distances itself by two points leaving Tortona alone in ninth place at 28 points with the direct clash also in favor of the Venetians the difference was made by the 10-0 immediately conceded at 72 all with four and a half minutes to go a fast of points that lasted for over three minutes allowing Fobbs and Bibbins in particular to package the 82-72 that with 90 seconds left on the clock split a match that in some ways followed the trend of the midweek Champions League match in Tenerife: negative start return to the game thanks to the second quintet rest of the game played point by point even finding the overtaking in the second half but what made the difference - compared to what happened in the Canaries - was that blackout in the final that did not allow them to play for the victory until the end The bad start of the game also allowed the opponents - deprived of Rashawn Thomas on the eve - to immediately fly to a maximum 13-point advantage (18-5 at 5') The changes from the bench made it possible to recover the gap quite quickly with the plays of Severini and the inspired Baldasso from beyond the arc sealing the tie at 27 at 14' From there the contest developed on the edge of balance with Bertram finding the first overtaking halfway through the third quarter with the first outburst of the game by Kuhse Vital's triple also meant the maximum gap at 47-51 with three and a half minutes to play before the last mini-break which came with the two teams tied as had already happened at the long break The first part of the fourth quarter is characterized by the back and forth between the two teams until the score is 72 all with 4'30” to go It is the moment when Bertram's light goes out several lost balls (15 at the end of the game) prevent them from trying to reach the basket while on the other side Fobbs and Bibbins build the 82-72 with 90” to go In the very last seconds Tortona has a partial jolt too few to prevent the Sardinians from celebrating and strengthening their tenth place with 24

was that we didn't have the right energy from many players to impact the various situations of the match" but that lack of energy led to a lack of clarity and the 15 balls lost are really too many to win a match like this Well done to Sassari for taking advantage of it and winning with merit unfortunately we pay for exactly a lack of clarity combined with a lack of energy a lack of leadership

Second Team All-CAA and becoming the only college-bound junior to score more than 1000 points at Towson since 1978 He was not chosen in the 2021 NBA draft and so he decided to start his pro career in Europe more precisely for the Finns of Vilpas Vikings Here he had a positive season averaging 14 points and 6 rebounds The following summer he moved on to Kangoeroes Basketball Mechelen team that plays in the BNXT (Belgian-Dutch league) and where it also has the possibility of playing in the Fiba Europe Cup The start was promising but then he suffered a bad Achilles tendon injury which kept him out of the field for months He works hard to continue his growth path and does so enough to win the championship MVP award Last season he was at a very high level in Bonn where he played the Fiba Intercontinental Cup and makes a leap in quality also thanks to participation in the BCL 3.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists on 39% from beyond the arc in BBL and 10.5 points Now Sassari's call for next season where he is called upon to take a further step of growth and to show everything he has worked on in recent years has certainly not been one of the simplest and neither has that of Michal Sokolowski Polish winger who arrived in the summer after his experience in Naples last season In fact, Sokolowski was in the pits for a long time cause of an injury which has limited him to just 12 league appearances so far The player's agency is already evaluating alternative options for the former Napoli and Treviso player The player has already received interest from Poland but several teams in Italy have also been informed of his availability Michal Sokolowski is averaging 9.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game Sassari is going through a rather difficult phase of the season and is coming off four defeats in a row, including the last one at expire against Reyer Venezia The victory against Banco di Sardegna Sassari archives the salvation of Openjobmetis even without the comfort of arithmetic Sassari plays a great second half in defense but the 47% 3-pointers of the home team make…Banco di Sardegna jump Openjobmetis Varese-Dinamo Sassari 89-84 Mitrou-Long 6.5: first half to be admired then it comes to life with a third quarter of great depth and personality Hands 8: a few lost balls here and there but in the end he takes matters into his own hands His floating in isolation is a vaguely Jordanian oil on canvas print (absit iniuria verbis) When the ghosts of Cremona were re-emerging who takes matters into his own hands and autographs Varese's salvation In the end he puts together 27 points in 37' 8 assists (amen for the 5 lost balls) for a 32 evaluation On the parquet for 29' (the third most used player in Varese) and when he comes out you can hear him Alviti 7.5: a clean shot that leaves no escape in the end it will be 17 points with 6/9 from the field He holds all the defensive changes and cleans up the assaults on the iron by the little ones Books 7.5: he enters in the first half and splits the game in two with 4/4 from 3 Then in the second half he has problems with fouls and loses the feeling But his contribution is like a finger in the socket Bradford 6: a lot of defense and two left-handed strokes from beyond the arc that enter the Triple Festival Anticevich sv: He comes in for 5 minutes and does little but he also plays so little that it's difficult to give him a rating without him having gained a feel for Serie A stands out on the rebound (3 very precious offensive caroms) and sets the course on defense Maccabi's interest in him has been rekindled Coach Kastritis 8: the satisfaction of having turned a team with a flat EEG inside out Bibbins 7: constant danger for Varese: very quick hands in defense physique and substance at the service of the team never in the game and in fact Bulleri often relegates him to the bench grabs 6 rebounds and doesn't miss free throws Cappelletti 7.5: another game of substance: he hurts Varese when he attacks the basket gives substance to the defense and dishes out 6 assists Drum 5: never leaves a mark from the outside Veronese 5: a central bomb and little else mixed zones and tactical devilry he changed the course of the match The 5-year old Sassari B and the 6-year old Bowmore were the winners of the Bundeschampionate qualification classes held in Munich on 6 - 9 June 2024 In the

game in these BCL QualifiersDarius McGhee produced the highest scoring game of the 2024-25 Basketball Champions League Qualifiers as he erupted for 37 points to power Telekom Baskets Bonn to the Tournament 4 Final where they'll face Banco di Sardegna Sassari ANTALYA (Turkiye) - MoraBanc Andorra put together a solid roster with hopes of reaching the Basketball Champions League Regular Season for the first time they were unlucky to cross paths with Darius McGhee and Telekom Baskets Bonn on Friday The 25-year-old Bonn point guard was unstoppable on the day and he had all the answers as Andorra took the lead briefly in the fourth quarter McGhee answered with back-to-back long range three-pointers and found help from Phlandrous Fleming Jr down the stretch, for the German team to eventually clinch a 99-91 win despite the fact they had squandered a 19-point lead just moments earlier McGhee finished with 37 points on 13-of-26 shooting from the field An incredible performance by a rookie in international pro basketball while Thomas Kennedy was his usual efficient self with 15 points on 7-of-8 shooting Kyle Kuric had 19 in a losing effort for Andorra Telekom Baskets Bonn are now just a step away from reaching the Regular Season. In the final game of the Qualifiers, they will face Banco di Sardegna Sassari, who defeated Uniclub Casino - Juventus 77-73 in the other Tournament 4 Semi-Final on Friday Sassari have participated in seven BCL Regular Season campaigns already They earned a chance to try and make it eight after they managed to fend off on Friday a late comeback attempt by the Lithuanians led all scorers with 20 points while Eimantas Bendzius contributed 18 points and 6 boards and Michal Sokolowski posted a near double-double of 11 points and 9 rebounds Arnaldo Toro of Juventus also had a double-double The winner of Tournament 4 will move to the Regular Season Group E Banco di Sardegna Sassari wins its second away win of the championship by playing on the field of Cremona The home team starts strong with a partial of 19-4 led by a sensational Dreznjak In the second quarter the islanders increase the pace and with precision from the arc by Bendzius and Cappelletti they get back in the game at -4 at halftime Willis 4: he should be the offensive leader of the team and instead he is a distant relative of the one admired in Pistoia 2 points scored with shocking percentages in the house specialty (0/5) and a confidence that is lacking Jones xnumx: in the first half he scores some nice baskets and is good at fighting for offensive rebounds In the second half between minutes on the bench and collective difficulties he disappears he alternates important baskets (11 points) with questionable decisions He struggles to find continuity from the arc (1/5) and the assist-turnover ratio is negative (6-7) 1 rebound and 1 steal and the usual defensive intensity 1 steal and 16 assist are too poor a haul in the XNUMX minutes conceded Nikolic 5: step back for the Serbian winger who has often been among the most consistent 2 points and 2 rebounds and little else with even the usual grit that has been missing Poser sv: 4 points in just 7 minutes of play Lacey 4.5: the difficult moment of the Cremonese captain continues He adds 5 rebounds and 2 assists but Cremona is terribly missing a player who last year had taken the team on his shoulders several times Dreznjak 6.5:a middle ground between a dominated first half and a second in which he was lacking He scored 17 of his 22 points (a new season high after the 20 in Trieste) in the first half alone He remains the only one to consistently find the bottom of the net and continuing his streak from the arc (4/7) Owens 4.5: true that he receives very few balls (4 points scored but he suffers both the athleticism of Renfro and the technique and size of Halilovic Jones on the bench and let's also add Conti for too long in the second half It's true that Willis and Lacey are among your praetorians but at the moment they are struggling tremendously and you paid for it once again Cappelletti 7: a game of quantity and substance from the former Verona point guard In the first half he scored three triples from the dribble for his 11 total points 2 steals and 3 assists for an important performance in directing Bibbins 7.5: in the last quarter he is the player who lights up most often and sinks the opponents accurate from the perimeter (4/8) and also good at getting his teammates into rhythm with 7 assists Halilovic 6.5: at the beginning of the game Then in the 3rd quarter he begins to assert his cm and technique compared to his peers from Cremona He comes close to a double double with 9 points and 8 rebounds Fobbs 5: complicated evening for the former Bonn player Between lost balls (3) and questionable shooting choices in Sassari it went well that Cappelletti supported Bibbins on the outside The former Pesaro does not give up and in the 4th quarter scores two very important three-pointers that will be decisive for the Sassari lead Veronese 5: many errors for the player who moved from Cremona to Juvi he takes part in the last quarter marked by Dinamo with a triple of considerable importance Bendzius 7: in the second quarter every time he raised his hand he could score 3 points The captain of Banco scores 13 points and punishes the Cremonese defense with three-pointers also due to several trivial offensive fouls he is ready to fly over the rim between alley-ups and tap-ins with thunderous dunks 7 rebounds (4 offensive) and 4 blocks for an important recovery Gaze 6: begins the adventure with Sassari with a recovery against Zampini and two points on the scoreboard Limited by fouls but shows how he can have his say in a suffocating defense on the opponents' outsides Markovic 6.5: good at finding the countermoves to Cremona's lightning-fast start He understands when to bench Fobbs for a positive Cappelletti and to manage the two tall players Important victory to distance the teams behind in the standings and earn the 2nd pink report away from home Twenty-sixth day in Sassari at the Palaserradimigni that hosts a combative Tortona looking for fundamental points for the playoffs are mathematically safe and could think of catching the first eight which instead sees the “train” of the top eight slip away Cappelletti 7: as always he is the “mind” of Sassari Bibbins 7.5: great game in attack with 19 points and 7 fouls suffered Decisive in the important moments of the game Weber 7.5: probably his best game since he arrived in Sardinia His infinite energy is needed to score the last He almost scores a double double with 17 points and 9 rebounds Fobbs 7: excellent performance on both halves of the court: 19 points and a great defensive presence Tambone 6+: as usual he is a central part of the Sardinian defense in attack he does not take on many responsibilities Veronese 6: He argues with his shooting percentages Bendzius 6.5: In terms of percentages he doesn't shine he struggles to find the right rhythm and misses many shots but with a desire and intensity worthy of note Vital 7.5: he is the best of his team: one of the last to give up and when Sassari extends but with percentages that are not perfect (8/20 overall) Chicken 6-: struggles a lot to handle the pressure of the "small" opponents and the 5 lost balls are proof of this but struggles a lot against the Sardinian defense In defense he fails to limit the various Bibbins and Weber Candi 5+: tonight he is unable to express himself at his best both in attack and defense He is limited by fouls (4) and plays just under 20' Baldassarre 6+: in the second quarter he is the protagonist of Tortona's comeback scoring six points in a row and then gradually fades away over the course of the match Kamagate 5: despite having a clear advantage over the Sardinian tall players he suffers from the physicality and intensity of his opponents throughout the match without being able to stand out as he should have Severini 5.5: It's not his best game of the season either He doesn't find much space and struggles to express himself except for a few flashes in attack here and there Weems 5: performance that the Bertram veteran will surely not remember pleasantly He fails to leave his mark on the game in any way We are about to reach the end of the first half of the season and it is time for judgments Dinamo Sassari he is going through a season of ups and downs without ever managing to find the right continuity Sassari has changed nine players plus Stefano Trucchetti from the youth team; the club has decided to confirm the technical leadership of the team to coach Nenad Markovic after the good work done last year when he took over from Pietro Bucchi From this market came the American talents Fobbs and Bibbins the already tested at LBA level Sokolovski and Udom Tambone and Vincini and finally the tall Renfro and Halilovic Alessandro Cappelletti and the captain Bendzius are still part of the 2023-2024 season team Sassari is a team very focused on personal initiatives of individual players: Bibbins (13.5 points 5.4 assists and 4.2 fouls suffered on average) and Fobbs (14.5 points on average) Most of coach Markovic's plays end with a personal solution to score an easy basket or to pass the ball for a shot The Sardinian team prefers the two-point shots (457 attempted in LBA second in the entire League) compared to the three-point shots that they make with a percentage of 35% (129-366) Many of Sassari's baskets are assisted baskets and in this category they are also second in LBA with 17 assists per game The pick & roll between Cappelletti and Halilovic is one of the plays most feared by opposing defenses Among Dinamo's weak points we can certainly mention the rebounds: 27.5 in total but above all the only 7.4 offensive rebounds on average Dinamo concedes more than 33 to their opponents per game we cannot fail to mention the average of 24 fouls per game that often interfere with the outcome of the match by preventing key players from remaining on the court due to fouls; the most sanctioned in this "item" are Halilovic As for most teams the problem is always the same: the turnovers Sassari records an average of 12.1 turnovers per game (LBA) which given the style of play of Markovic's boys the highest number of turnovers is credited to the game's treaters: Bibbins (2.1) and Cappelletti (2.2) It certainly doesn't help to save energy.midweek commitment and the three victories and four defeats after the cup matches bear witness to this Up to now we have only talked about the numbers of the "stars" of Sassari but we must not forget that there is also some dirty work to do The role of the so-called "Role Players” is not usually about scoring diving for another one and all these silent plays Dinamo has a second line of Italians really excellent in these actions: Tambone If Sassari can count victories in point-to-point matches like those of Pistoia Venice and Treviso it is not only thanks to the points of the various Fobbs and Bibbins but it must also thank the play with desire and energy of its Italian players After having finished highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the Sardinian team Dinamo must necessarily aim for the playoffs that can be within its reach The premature conclusion of the adventure in FIBA ​​Europe Cup and the quality of the roster In the coming months it will be essential for Sassari to find the team chemistry right the one that has been glimpsed a bit in the last few games Mitrou-Long lights up and Varese regains the lead at 64-53 at 29', but Dinamo fights and does not give up easily, on the contrary. They come back to a step at 75-72 with a positive Vincini under the basket, then again 85-82 with a bomb by Bibbins at 39', but Jaylen Hands is the man of safety for Openjobmetis with two free throws and a basket that give a precious victory to the red and whites. OPENJOBMETIS VARESE-BANCO DI SARDEGNA SASSARI 89-84 (23-17, 46-34; 64-55). to address the shortcomings in the tall department The American player born in 1994 had already been in Sassari and was one of the protagonists of the victory of the Fiba Europe and of the great season in 2019 he has good mobility that allows him to play both as a 4 and a 5 and a good shot from the arc of 6,75 the American player played 2 seasons at Partizan with whom he won a Serbian Super Cup and the following year the Serbian Cup Sassari has many difficulties in managing the tall players (Halilovic plays just under 30' on average) and after theRenfro's injury who will be out of action for a while it was necessary to go on the market to find the right player The first test for the American player in his second Sardinian experience will be during the eighteenth away league match against Scafati The Campania team is going through a very complicated period and is in the midst of a fight for survival Will this be the fundamental graft for the definitive change of pace of Dinamo After the precious success on the field of Nutribullet Treviso there is another good news for Dinamo Sassari fans has announced the hiring of Briante Weber until the end of the current season A nice boost for the Sardinian team in view of the final rush of the salvation race With the engagement of Briante Weber it now seems obvious that with Michal Sokolowski the current contract will be terminated coach Bulleri has had the third reinforcement from the market This is the official press release from Dinamo which welcomes the new player fresh from his experience in Kuwait after spending last season in Reggio Emilia and brings to Dinamo defensive intensity e leadership capable of influencing both halves of the pitch is able to exalt his teammates thanks to his qualities handler and excellent vision of the game instinct and ability to read game situations also make him a good rebounder for his role Weber stood out since his time at Great Bridge High School 8 rebounds and 5 assists on average and earning Southern District Defensive Player of the Year honors He then continued his journey at Virginia Commonwealth University where he was named to the Atlantic 10 Conference All-Defensive Team for three consecutive years Only a knee injury prevented him from becoming the NCAA all-time steals leader stopping just 12 points short of the record he began his professional career with the Sioux Falls Skyforce in the G-League before earning several NBA call-ups between 2015 and 2018 for a total of 40 appearances and averaging over 12 minutes per game being named to the 2017 All-Star Second Team and the 2017 and 2018 All-Defensive Team making his EuroLeague debut with Olympiacos (8 games with 11,6 points He subsequently played in France (Levallois Metropolitans Israel (Bnei Herzliya) and Turkey (Büyükçekmece) In the 2023-24 season he made his Serie A debut with Reggio Emilia 3.6 rebounds and 3.7 assists averaged in 35 games the most prestigious club in the top national league La Dinamo Sassari is now certain to have earned permanence in the LBA also for the 2025-2026 season and A future that passes through the important role of coach with Massimo Bulleri who could remain to lead the Sardinian team but with a 10-point advantage over the relegation zone and 5 games to play it is difficult to think that the Sardinians can be relegated A restart which, according to what is reported La nuova sardegna, should have its fixed point in coach Massimo Bulleri. Dinamo wants to start again with the Tuscan coach, took over during the season and is also looking for confirmation in the Italian package there are already contracts in place with Luca Vincini and Giovanni Veronesi President Stefano Sardara hopes to confirm Alessandro Cappelletti one of the protagonists of this biancoblu season The former Trento player has a contract for next season The situation regarding foreigners is much more complex Rashawn Thomas and Briante Weber are in the balance The evaluations will be made during these last weeks of the season Last match of the seventeenth day of the LBA championship in that of Sassari which houses the Virtus Bologna The Sardinian team celebrates Sardinia Day on the occasion of the match to promote the region and its beauties thanks to an excellent defense and the right offensive choices finishing the first period with a nine-point lead (25-16) In the second period the Vu Nere seem to change their attitude and manage to close the first half with a four-point deficit (41-37) Cappelletti 6.5: as always excellent manager of the game in the offensive phase and today he also scores two triples in less than 20' Great start for him who contributes with his points in Sassari's first escape attempt and closes the match with two triples Halilovic 7.5: a very solid match for the Bosnian big man who managed to dominate under the two backboards grabbing 12 rebounds and scoring 10 points Fobbs 7+: top scorer of the evening with 16 points and five triples He plays just under 30' and ends the match with 7 points Veronese 6: a dull evening for the player from Brescia who Bendzius 7: solid game both in attack and defense He scores 16 points and is one of the authors of Sassari's escape in the third period Gaze 5.5: the only negative note in Dinamo's magical evening takes only three shots and misses them all Not the player we saw in his first outings in the Dinamo jersey a very distant relative of the one seen in the Euroleague.  he scores his baskets and finishes with 13 points he is the target of the opponents' attacks Pajola 6.5: most used player by coach Ivanovic He always reads the game in a superlative way Shengelia 6: he plays a lot for the team creating advantages for others on a personal level he is limited by the excellent Sardinian defense Thank you 5: enters early in the first quarter to try to limit Sassari's physicality Does not enter the field in the second half Morgan 5: an anonymous match for the Virtus playmaker who never manages to leave his mark on the match Diouf 6.5: good performance for the big man from Reggio who makes his physical prowess count at times tucker 6: great performance in the first half on both sides of the court with two dunks that shook the basket As has become tradition in recent seasons, Dinamo Sassari was the club that first of all moved on the market, practically going to complete next season's roster already in mid-June President Sardara's first club signing was that of Justin Bibbins namely the very undersized point guard (1.73 for 68 kilos) who gives the team great dynamism and offensive impact Only this season in the French championship have they shown off both players well under 180 centimeters in height A post shared by Dinamo Sassari (@dinamo_sassari) Bibbins is now a veteran of European basketball The first season on this side of the ocean dates back to 2018/2019 From there a season between Hungary and Serbia and then landing in France after another half season in Poland at Legia Warsaw and finally the last two years with the Nanterre shirt both ended as the team's best scorer and assist man (15 points and 5 assists on average) He arrives in Italy at the peak of his career having turned 28 in January (born 1996) and is set to be one of the potentially most electrifying players in the championship First match of the nineteenth day of LBA in that of Sassari which hosts a very aggressive Olimpia Milan. Sassari comes from a bad defeat against Scafati after beating Virtus at home, Milan comes fresh from the victory of a heart-stopping match against Zalgiris of Trinchieri.  with the referees letting things run a lot scoring and getting his teammates into rhythm by making the right reads to beat Sassari's double team on the pick 'n roll Dinamo "clings on" to the leaders Cappelletti and Fobbs closing the first quarter up by one (22-21) In the second period Milan leads and tries to run away with Dinamo always behind The inertia of the game shifts to Milan's side and Bulleri literally enters the field and is sanctioned with a technical the arena heats up more and more and allows his team to recover; the first half ends with a nice basket by Dimitrijevic who seals the +2 for Olimpia (40-42) Cappelletti 7: first half bordering on perfection second half always at a good level managing the game in the best possible way Halilovic 6+: first half where he puts the opponents' tall players in difficulty His work under the knife remains very important for the Sardinians Fobbs 6.5: plays 34' and holds the field in a more than dignified manner in defense on offense he struggles a bit more than usual He goes out due to a blow to the face in the third period Veronese 5.5: a “bad” night in shooting for the young Italian talent despite all this coach Bulleri continues to give him confidence by drawing the last action for him but when he is on the field you can feel it Good first half where he scores all his 7 points Vincini sv: he plays 11' without particularly leaving his mark he returns to being the player we saw in Naples scoring six consecutive points in the fourth quarter that will give life to Sassari Thomas 6+: in the first half he struggles a lot to find rhythm both in attack and defense During the second half he changes face and is one of the protagonists of the Sardinian comeback in the fourth period attacks the area to find his teammates and to create shots for himself Best scorer of the evening with 15 points.  Manion 7-: great presence in the first half in attack where he scores all 8 of his points A little more limited playing time in the second half Caseur 5: the only negative note of the evening for Olimpia he needed to "get minutes in his legs" in view of the Final Eight Tonut 6 : in defense he can contain anyone dirty work without end in his 11' on the parquet Bolmaro 7+: undisputed star of the first half where he scored 12 of his fourteen points Let's Day 7+: usual powerful performance for the former Partizan is the most used by coach Messina and puts the game on ice with his two out of two from the free throw line Curls 6+: when he enters the field he responds present by immediately scoring a bomb Dirty work in defense on the Sassari tall players diop 6: the match of the ex who plays 10 minutes in which he expresses all his power and desire to demonstrate what he can do Shields xnumx: a “silent” match for thirty-eight minutes then it lights up and scores the 5 decisive points that will give Olimpia the victory Gillespie 6.5: first half where he suffers against the intensity of the home team's big men he is the one who raises his voice under the scoreboards 2 associated partners and 1 affiliated entity coming from 9 EU and non-EU countries: Italy The ultimate target is to promote sustainable practices and support the economic growth of the areas involved.Led by the University of Sassari ISPRA will develop the preparation of a framework for desertification risk assessment and monitoring on a European scale and for the Mediterranean area.The project is funded by the Horizon EU program to combat land degradation and desertification Another bitter evening for theEstra Pistoia which stands up to the Bank of Sardinia Sassari only for half the game before collapsing in the second half who thus conquers the fourth consecutive victory and mathematical salvation The start of the game is encouraging for the red and whites dragged by two triples by Forrest that light up the home crowd Bibbins responds for the guests and the first quarter runs on tracks of balance with intense rhythms but little precision in shooting and numerous errors on both sides of the court coach Okorn's boys try to extend the lead and build a small advantage but it is Bendzius' experience that turns everything around: the Lithuanian scores six points in a few seconds and sends Sassari to the locker rooms ahead by three (32-35) Coach Bulleri's men return with a different attitude and score a devastating partial of 11-0 which breaks the balance and directs the game Sassari manages the advantage with lucidity and in the last quarter extends it, taking advantage of the offensive difficulties of the Tuscans. The ending is eloquent: 63-86 for the Sardinians Benetti 6: retouches his seasonal best in a good performance on both sides of the field Also this evening extensive use given the energy put at the disposal of the team but suffers from Bibbins' speed and takes few shots on offense Ceron 5: largely insufficient performance for one of the latest signings at the red and white club his percentage from the arc remains poor as does his contribution to the team Paschall 5: not very effective on either front only a few points on the scoresheet and a very high untapped potential Cooke 4,5: yet another performance to forget he continues to miss easy points under the basket and in defense he doesn't adequately cover the rim this is not the Cooke that Pistoia should have needed Forrest 5: two triples at the start to charge the team the percentage of which has recently dropped significantly compared to the beginning of the season Looting 6: deserved pass mark for taking on big responsibilities in attack and for trying to carry the team on his shoulders in the most difficult moments he doesn't shine as much as all his teammates but he does something positive every now and then which he will surely have worked on during the week but his team's prolonged blackouts continue to which he never manages to give real medicine Cappelletti 6: Too bad at shooting tonight but he gets a passing grade thanks to his good rebounding and his contribution to the team Bibbins 7,5: enlightening evening for the Sassari point guard but he makes himself useful for the team and even captures 5 rebounds making himself a reliable offensive terminal but he is there for the team and has a good approach to the race Fobbs 6: after a good first half he disappears from the radar Drum 6,5: excellent solution to give his teammates a breather good shooting performance and excellent attitude Veronese 6: performance in line with his possibilities he scores 7 points and contributes both in rebounds and assists one of the points of reference of the Sardinian team at the end of the second quarter he starts what will be the decisive partial allowing the match to be safe Vincini 5,5: 18 minutes of poor contribution for the Sassari center Thomas 7: infallible in shooting and present in rebounding excellent performance for one of the players who has improved the most in this final part of the season Renfro 5,5: he returns to the parquet and he still lacks something to get back to his best Bullies 7: gives the team a jolt during the break after which he gets into gear and changes pace His Dinamo scores its fourth consecutive victory and can get through the end of the season with peace of mind La Dinamo Sassari enters the 2024-25 season with the aim of returning to the Playoffs after last season's disappointment Let's see what roster he will try to achieve the goal with Sassari passes on Sporting's home field in Lisbon on the opening day of the group D of FIBA Europe Cup Halilovic 6.5 -
