This Wednesday (3), Flamengo trained for the first time at the Amway Center, Orlando Magic's arena, to prepare for the duel against the home team. After the recovery activity after arriving in Florida, Rubro-Negro did hard work on the physical and tactical side.

Upon arriving at the gym, the atmosphere was one of great anticipation. For many, this was their first experience with a North American basketball arena. As training began, the players began to familiarize themselves with the environment. Bruno Nicolaci began the activity alongside physiotherapist Ricardo Machado, doing exercises in the gym and muscle activation on the court.

Afterwards, Gustavo De Conti continued with the same speed training he did on Tuesday, performing quick plays with the group split in two. The afternoon also focused on tactics and included extensive conversation with the entire delegation.

With two duels against Orlando under his belt, Olivinha recalled the 2014 match, when the Mais Querido went to the Amway Center for their first appearance in the NBA preseason. "It's a return trip here, as I was already here the first time. My best memory was the massive turnout of our fans. I'm expecting double the number of fans this time. If we broke the attendance record there, I hope we do it again this time. It was a really cool experience. Unfortunately, we didn't win, but it was incredible to play in the NBA. We hope to do a great job and make our name in history as the first Brazilian team to win a match here," said the number 16.

Flamengo and Orlando Magic face off on Friday at 20 p.m. (Brasília time) in the NBA preseason. The match will be played at the Amway Center.
