After qualifying for the semifinals of the Novo Basquete Brasil 7 (NBB), FlaBasquete returns to the court this Saturday (09.05), against Limeira, at the opponent's home, beginning the search for a place in the grand final. The match, which takes place at 16 pm, promises to kick off a series between the teams that finished in second and third place during the qualifying phase of the tournament.

During the 2014/2015 season, the Pride of the Nation and the São Paulo team faced each other twice. In the first match, Limeira prevailed at home, defeating the Red-Blacks 78-73. Afterwards, José Neto's team gained momentum in the NBB, putting together a series of strong performances that culminated in the Mais Querido's 86-70 victory over the São Paulo team in the second round of the championship.

"We expect a very tough series. Limeira has had a very consistent season and has been playing very well. They play a very collective game, where everyone scores, provides assists, and passes the ball well, which makes the team very difficult to defend. On the other hand, we had a tough playoff, where we overcame several challenges that allowed the team to grow to reach this important moment. We expect a tough series, but we will try to play our style, at our pace, and try to come away with one or two wins against São Paulo and take this final home," analyzed Benite, Mais Querido's winger, about the upcoming games against the São Paulo team.

The match between Flamengo and Limeira will be broadcast live on SporTV this Saturday (09.05), at 16 pm. The next games in the series are already scheduled and will take place on Monday (11.05), in São Paulo, and on Thursday (14.05) at Tijuca Tênis Clube.
