Qualified for the semi-finals, Flamengo trains this morning at Antel Arena
Rubro-Negro returned to the competition venue to make final adjustments before facing the G League team
By Raiana Monteiro - inPhysically imposing players, a style of play unlike what they're used to in the Brazilian league, and some of the NBA's biggest prospects. These are some of the factors that make Flamengo's opponent in the NBA G League International Challenge semifinals a team to watch closely. This Saturday, at 20:45 PM, the Pride of the Nation faces the G League team, a squad assembled with some of the American league's top prospects specifically for the tournament in Uruguay, for a spot in the final. This morning, coach Gustavo De Conti called the team onto the court for final adjustments.
The practice also allowed Gustavo to speak to his squad on a specific occasion and assess the match against San Lorenzo last night.
Marquinhos and Gustavo De Conti now head to the Champions League launch press conference, while the rest of the red-black team heads to the hotel.
