Flamengo will face Vasco in the classic match this Saturday (28), at 14 pm, at Rio Arena, in Barra da Tijuca, West Zone of Rio de Janeiro. The match is hosted by Cruzmaltino and the game will be played behind closed doors, as determined by the Military Police. The duel, postponed, is valid for the 10th round of the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB).
Flamengo is not having a good run in the competition and is looking to get back on the winning track to return to the sole lead in the NBB - currently, the "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved) is tied for first place with Brasília. The team has been suffering from important absences of Marcelinho, Ricardo Fischer and Humberto, who are recovering from injuries.
To chase the result and continue the quest for the sixth championship, the Pride of the Nation can count on the experience and talent of Marquinhos, who has the highest average points per game on the team, with 19,93, and the fighting spirit of Olivinha, the top rebounder in this edition of the NBB, with an average of 11,13 per game. Among the more experienced players, Ramon and JP Batista have also made a difference in the challenges of this season. The younger athletes are not far behind and have shown their worth, such as Lelê, who was the top scorer in the last game for the beloved team, against Bauru, with 14 points.
Since this Vasco x Flamengo game is a rescheduled match from the first round of the NBB 9 qualifying phase, American center Hakeem Rollins will not be able to play, as he was signed after the original date of the match.
Flamengo's official Twitter account will provide live coverage of the match, and the classic will be broadcast on Band and SporTV.
