The mission wasn't easy, but it was accomplished. On Saturday afternoon (21.12/96), Flamengo faced Bauru, the current São Paulo champion, at their opponent's home, Ginásio Panela de Pressão, and won 94-22 in a game valid for the New Basketball Brazil (NBB). The big name for Flamengo was Olivinha, who recorded his seventh double-double in the competition, with 15 points and 11 rebounds. The result kept the Mais Querido, owner of eight wins in XNUMX games, in second place.
Flamengo's second-highest scorer in the game was Marcelinho, who left the court with 21 points and played a key role in crucial moments of the match. After the final whistle, he made a point of highlighting the team's excellent performance in São Paulo. After all, in three days, José Neto's team had won twice in São Paulo (Limeira and Bauru).
"The team deserves congratulations. It was a great victory. We came to São Paulo on this trip to play two very difficult games after a loss at home. The team showed its true colors and won both matches. In this championship, you'll encounter difficulties and games fought to the last ball, like today (Saturday), anywhere. You have to be focused to win the games," said the number 4.
The game against Bauru was Flamengo's last in 2013. José Neto's team will only play again in January, on the 07th, when they will face Macaé, for Novo Basquete Brasil, at the Gávea social headquarters.
