With full focus on the NBB, Flamengo returns to the court this Thursday (09.02/20), at 12 pm, against Bauru, at Ginásio Luso Brasileiro, in Bauru (SP). The red-black team is third in the tournament's overall standings, with 16 wins in 75 matches (12% success rate), behind Pinheiros and Uberlândia, respectively. The São Paulo team is fifth, also with 70,59 wins, but with one more game (XNUMX%).
Flamengo returns to action after missing out on the South American League final last week in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In the competition's final hexagonal, the team lost to Pinheiros in the first round and beat Atenas de Córdoba in the following game.
"We didn't achieve our goal of playing in the semifinals of the South American League, and that was frustrating for the whole team. But I think we can learn from our mistakes and do things differently in the NBB," said coach Gonzalo Garcia, stating that there will be no shortage of motivation for the national competition: "Flamengo is a team with a lot of potential, and I'm sure everyone will give their all in the NBB," he added.
According to Gonzalo Garcia, Bauru is a team that thrives on home soil and deserves the Rubro-Negro's full attention. In the first round, Flamengo prevailed, playing in Tijuca: 81-66.
"Bauru has a great team, with players who have been together for years and know each other very well. Furthermore, it grows greatly with the support of its fans," explained the coach.
After Bauru, Flamengo continues in the interior of São Paulo, where they face Liga Sorocabana, Saturday (11.02), at 15 pm, in Sorocaba. Sportv will broadcast live.
