The 200th game with the Sacred Mantle in the New Basketball Brazil was special for Marquinhos. On Saturday afternoon (17), at Arena Carioca 1, the player scored 23 points and was fundamental to Flamengo's 75-61 victory over Bauru. The result kept the Rubro-Negro in the fight for the lead.

"I have a very good relationship with the fans. Today I complete 200 NBB games wearing the Flamengo jersey, so I can say it's been a very beautiful journey, with titles, a lot of pain, and happiness. I've experienced a bit of everything with the club, from the lows to the highs. I'm in the best moment of my career, and I'm in great physical shape. We're going all out for this title," said the player.

Thanks to the break for the Brazilian National Team's commitments, the NBB10 will return to Flamengo only on the 3rd, Saturday, when the Mais Querido faces Minas, at 14 pm, at Arena Carioca 1.

"It's going to be a tough game, but we need to continue making the most of our home advantage and the fans, who are supporting us and giving us a lot of support. We really need that. At times like the first half, we weren't doing so well, and they pushed us hard. That gives us motivation and confidence," analyzed Marquinhos.
