Virtus Bologna beaten by Bayern, Luca Banchi doesn’t hide disappointment
Luca Banchi chews bitterly on his Virtus Bologna’s defeat
It’s a rather bitter Luca Banchi who spoke after the 84-87 loss between his Virtus Bologna and Bayern in the sixth day of the basketball Euroleague. A result that forces the Felsinei to deal with the last position in the continental competition, tied with Olimpia Milano and Alba Berlin.
“Tough game, tough defeat, game decided at the last possession – said the coach of the Black Vu’s. We started very well, then Bayern è came back down and controlled second and third quarter, using our mistakes in their favor. Then we came back well in the game and Bayern è was more precise in handling the last possessions than we”.
“Sometimes we should also play with an ounce of recklessness,” he added, “in some moments I saw resignation that then è disappeared completely. We have to build our DNA that gives us the strength to react in situations like tonight, against talented opponents. At the beginning of the third quarter we thought we would get caught up in the eagerness to recover: we have to have determination and balance, we have all the qualities to do that. We had turned it over completely, giving the feeling that we had it completely in hand”.
“We are commenting on a defeat, again, in a sprint, in a game in which we had found the strength to turn it around. Tonight, despite the’emergency, we went and found a way to put this game back on its feet: we keep confidence and awareness in our means” concluded Banchi.

Roma, Paulo Dybala not playing: farewell in January?
Renewal with the Giallorossi is triggered only under certain conditions
Black moment in the Giallorossi’s house. In addition to the new coach issue, the club has to deal with Dybala’s stomach ache, struggling with an unhappy moment. Not summoned for the match with Bologna, è remained on the bench against St Gilloise and played just over 20′ against Hellas Verona.
To date he has played only nine league games (several as a substitute) with two goals on the score sheet. Little, very little for the one who should be the team’s ace. The excitement over his no to Al-Qadsiah’s rich offer has è already dissolved. Indeed, there are those who think he should have accepted the 75 million put on the plate by the rich Arab club (three-year contract).
As if that were not enough, in order to trigger the automatic renewal with the Giallorossi club, Dybala must play a certain number of games. Whether this is a viable route to take, in light of the many injuries that are affecting his performance, remains to be seen. If he is not è at top form, the Joya will not è be able to make the difference on the field as he would like.
At this point, we can not è rule out the possibility that he may decide to change air in January. Clearly, much will depend on the new Roma coach. A face-to-face between the two could be a game changer. At the moment, Dybala is not è happy with Roma and vice versa.

Juventus in trouble, Cristiano Giuntoli he needs two defenders
Bad news from Colombia for the HCL central
The injury to Bremer, Juventus’ defensive leader, has caused several problems for Thiago Motta, who now also has to deal with Cabal’s stop. As announced by the Colombian national team, the Juventus defender suffered the same ligament injury as the Brazilian. In short, a long stop is also looming for Cabal.
At this point, Thiago Motta finds himself with a defensive department at its lowest. Few resources and there’è always to consider the decidedly negative moment Danilo is going through. The Brazilian looked like he might even pack his bags in January (at this point everything could change, given the injury suffered by Cabal).
What is è certain è that Giuntoli, in January, will be forced to intervene heavily in the market. If before one central might have been enough, now the feeling è that two are needed, so as to give Thiago Motta more solutions at the defensive level. Many names are in play, all quite interesting but not easy to dress in bianconero.
There are two names circulating insistently. The first è that of Skriniar who, at PSG, is struggling to find space. The former Inter central seems perfect but also has a rather high salary. There is also the name of Hancko of Feyenoord, another element of great quality. Not easy to snatch him from Feyenoord (è an immovable starter at the Dutch club).

NBA, Steph Curry takes down former Klay Thompson’s Mavs
Chilling video tribute for former Warriors star
Before the match, former Thompson è was greeted by his former audience with a chilling video tribute. Then, space for the game with Golden State è winning over Dallas 120-117. Thompson signed a 22-point night but even better did Curry, decisive in his Warriors’ victory with an impressive 37 final points (5/12 from three).
At the end of an overtime, Detroit è managed to get the better of Miami (123-121). Serious mistake of the Heat’s bench that, in overtime, called timeout but without having any (resulting in a technical foul to the bench). Good performance by Fontecchio. Started from the bench, the Azure played 23’solid, scoring 10 points.
Fall, surprisingly, the Celtics, beaten by the Hawks (without Young). Down by 15 points, Atlanta managed to get back into the score and, thanks to a tap-in by Okongwu, they took home the victory (117-116). Not enough, in the Boston household, was the excellent performance of White, who finished with an impressive 31 points. Pure Brown shines (37 points) but the victory goes to Atlanta.
Despite Embiid’s season debut (13 points), Philadelphia falls again, this time beaten by New York (111-99). Also of note were Milwaukee’s win over Toronto (99-85) and Orlando’s success against Charlotte (114-89). Portland beats Minnesota (122-108) while Utah falls in the presence of Phoenix (120-112).
