Flamengo's under-21 team takes to the court this Saturday (15.10) trying to maintain its unbeaten run in the Olympic Development League (LDO), the Brazilian championship in the category that is being played in São Sebastião do Paraíso (MG). The red-black team faces Paulistano, who is also unbeaten in the competition, at 14 pm.
In the last round, on Thursday (13.10), Flamengo beat Joinville 88 x 65, with 32 points from Alexandre Paranhos.
The Rio de Janeiro team boasts the two most efficient players in the competition: forward Fred Duarte, known as Varejinho, with 36,2% efficiency, and point guard Gegê, with 30,4%. The duo leads almost every statistic in the league: Fred is the league's leading scorer (averaging 24,2 points per game) and rebounder (averaging 15,6), and Gegê leads in assists (averaging 10 per game) and steals (averaging 5).
The performance of both is so good that journalists in the press area joke about comparing them to some great basketball duos like Splitter and Huertas or Stockton and Malone.
