Flamengo was unable to hold its final training session before the highly anticipated match against Brasília, a postponed match from the 13th round of the NBB (New Basketball Brazil) first round. At the scheduled time for Flamengo's training session on Wednesday morning (February 23.02), the court at the Nilson Nelson gymnasium in Brasília was dirty, and the backboards were out of place and down. The team was left to make some adjustments and return to the hotel. The game will be played later today at 19:30 p.m. in the same gymnasium. The match will be broadcast on SPORTV 2.
Flamengo leads the competition with 14 wins in 18 matches and a 77,78% success rate. Brasília is second, with 13 wins in 17 matches and a 76,47% success rate. The battle for the top of the standings is on the line. Protagonists of the biggest classic on Brazilian courts today, the two teams have decided the last three national titles (Fla won in 2008 and 2009, and Brasília in 2010).
"Of course, not having a court to train on changes our routine a bit, as we're used to practicing in the morning before the game. But the important thing is that we're fully focused on the match," said captain Marcelinho.
