In their first meeting with Brasília, after the final of last season's NBB, Flamengo let victory slip away. In a friendly match, on Sunday morning (17.10), at the ASCEB gymnasium, in Brasília, the Rubro-negro was defeated by the home team by 80 x 75.
Point guard Hélio was Flamengo's top scorer with 28 points. Fred scored 14, and Jefferson and Wagner each had 10 points.
The Rio de Janeiro team played without stars Marcelinho and Bábby. Forward/guard Marcelinho is serving a suspension due to incidents in a match against Joinville on October 4, 2009, during the Ciser Tournament, a friendly competition in Joinville. Marcelinho was suspended by the Supreme Court of Sports Justice (STJD) for five games, and the sentence can be served in any friendly match organized by the Brazilian Basketball Confederation (CBB). Center Bábby was excused from the trip due to the death of his grandmother.
The friendly served as preparation for the season's upcoming challenges, such as the South American League, from October 28 to 30, in Santiago del Estero, Argentina, and the NBB. Flamengo is also competing in the State Championship. The red-and-black team is undefeated in the competition, with five wins. The next challenge will be on Thursday (October 21.10), against Riachuelo.
