Everything is ready for Flamengo's second match in the NBB semifinals. With a 1-0 lead, the team faces São José this Friday at 19 p.m. at the São José dos Campos Sports Association in São Paulo. Coach Gonzalo Garcia finalized the match details during a Friday morning practice session. Afterwards, the players had lunch and retired to their rooms to rest. Check-out is scheduled for 17:40 p.m. The game will be broadcast on SPORTV.

The third match will be held on Sunday at 21 p.m., also in São Paulo. If necessary, the fourth match will be held on May 25.05 in Tijuca, and the fifth on May 27.05 in São José dos Campos.

In the first game, on May 15.05th, in Tijuca, Flamengo had a great performance and gave their opponent no chance, winning 84 x 68.

"We know the difficulties we'll face from now on. We played very well in the first match, but São José is a very strong team. It's no coincidence that they finished the qualifying round in first place. Now we need to be cautious and calm and enter the court with the same intensity as in the first match, always focused on defending well," said coach Gonzalo Garcia.

Some caravans of organized Flamengo fans are already in the city of São Paulo for the game later today.
