"Being in Rio is always great, and I had the opportunity to live here for four months when I played for Mangueira. I'm thrilled to see my brother play with this responsibility, and it makes me happy to see our family there. Our greatest pride is Rafael. We always said he was going to the best team possible: Flamengo," declared the proud sister.

The game
With a first quarter of heavy marking ending at 21 to 16, Flamengo maintained the pace in the sequence, opening up a 30 to 18 lead, but the opponent reacted, balancing the game and the score ended before halftime at 39 to 32.
Macaé managed to reduce the deficit, which had reached 11 points, to six in the third quarter, but FlaBasquete imposed its rhythm again, increasing the difference to 16 points. In the last quarter, Flamengo finished the period with twice as many points as their opponent, killing any comeback (30 x 15).
Rhythm
For coach José Neto, the main reason for the good moment is the team's ability to maintain intensity for most of the game, building a difference throughout each quarter."The advantage we have is having a good pace of play. So, we often won't start 15-XNUMX, but will end up fifteen points ahead of us. This scoreline clearly shows our pace. Our team has a good squad that plays with good intensity, and we can make the difference satisfactory. The goal is for us to play intensely most of the time. And then we'll have a chance to play and win a match," he analyzed.
