A real heart-stopping experience. That's how the second game of FlaBasquete in the semifinal phase of the Liga das Américas, in Venezuela, went. Better in the first quarter, the red-and-black team allowed Correcaminos to come back and open up a 13-point lead, but the Pride of the Nation reacted and, led by Marcelinho, JP Batista and Ronald Ramon, secured the victory with two seconds left on the clock, thanks to Jason Robinson. The game ended 84-83 for Flamengo, who, with this result, are very close to qualifying for the Final Four.
The next challenge for Rubro-Negro will be this Sunday (28), at 21 pm, against Guaros de Lara, broadcast on SporTV channel. Who follows the Mengão's official Twitter profile You can also follow the game's action in real time and cheer along!
The game
The game started evenly, but Flamengo finished the first quarter ahead, winning 20-14. José Neto's team even opened up a nine-point lead, but suffered a comeback and went into halftime trailing by only one point: 35-36. At that point, the game was very close, with the teams taking turns leading the score.
In the third quarter, Flamengo's shots weren't falling, while the opposing players had good aim and closed the period with a score of 25-18. The Flamengo team went into the final quarter focused on a comeback, and thanks to a good performance by Ronald Ramon and points from Marcelinho, the team's top scorer with 21 points, and JP Batista, close behind with 18, they managed to achieve their goal. Jason Robinson, who had only scored one basket in the game until then, scored the two decisive points for the victory with two seconds remaining.
