After securing a spot in the NBB (New Basketball Brazil) semifinals, Flamengo returns to training on Monday afternoon (02.05), in Gávea. The debut in the next phase will be on Friday (06.05), but the opponent has not yet been defined.
Flamengo will find out its rival after the match between Brasília and Uberlândia on Monday night (May 02.05). If Brasília wins, Flamengo will face Franca, who finished first in the qualifying round. If Uberlândia wins, Flamengo's opponent will be Pinheiros, the runner-up in the first round. In both cases, Flamengo will not have home advantage, as they finished fourth in the second round.
Brazilian champion in 2008 and 2009 (in the first edition of the NBB), the team from Gávea secured a place in the semifinals by beating Bauru in a best-of-five series 3-1.
"Right now, the opponent is the least important thing. Our focus is the title and to achieve that we have to beat any team that comes our way," said forward/center Jefferson.
