The Rubro-negro has 12 wins in 14 games and has the best attack in the competition, with an average of 91,5 points per game and four players with an average higher than 12 points per game: Marcelinho (18,9), David Jackson (16,4), Caio Torres (13,1) and Kammerichs (12,9).
This Thursday's opponent, Paulistano, is in sixth place with nine wins in 14 matches. In the first round, Flamengo defeated the São Paulo team 88-78. Uberlândia, in second place, is the only team threatening Flamengo this round (11 wins). The Minas Gerais team faces Araraquara away from home at 20 pm.
The match against Paulistano will mark the debut of American Chris Hayes for the Gávea team. The 24-year-old, 6'1" power forward, who was signed until the end of the season, was signed to fill in for Teichmann, who is on medical leave. Hayes was playing for Lanús in Argentina and has previously played for Atenas de Córdoba (ARG), Istambulsport (TUR), Juventud Sionista (ARG), Cordon (URU), and the University of Detroit Mercy (USA).
"I've been training hard since I arrived in Rio and will be at the coach's disposal. I'm really looking forward to my debut. Flamengo is one of the biggest clubs in the world and has great players," said the power forward, a Ronaldinho Gaúcho fan. "I hope I get the chance to watch at least one soccer match and cheer for Flamengo," he added.
After Paulistano, Flamengo continues in São Paulo, where they face Pinheiros, Saturday (28.01), at 14 pm, at the Henrique Vilaboin Gymnasium. Sportv will broadcast live.
