Flamengo faces another challenge this Thursday (December 01.12st) in the NBB (New Basketball Brazil). Second in the overall standings, with three wins in four games (75% success rate), the Rubro-negro team faces the only undefeated team in the competition, Bauru (which has one game in hand), at 20:15 pm, at the Tijuca Tênis Clube Gymnasium. Tickets cost R$20. Fans wearing a Flamengo shirt pay R$10.

"It'll be a game against one of the best teams in the competition. Bauru is in great form and has experienced and talented players. We have to do our job, especially since it's a home game. The idea is to tighten up the defense and maintain the same level of attack," analyzed coach Gonzalo Garcia.

The games against Bauru, this Thursday (01.12/03.12), and against Liga Sorocabana, on Saturday (XNUMX/XNUMX), both in Tijuca, will be Leandrinho's last in a Flamengo jersey. With the end of the NBA strike, the player will have to return to the Toronto Raptors, the team with which he has a contract in the American League.

"I'm living a very special moment in my professional and personal life and it was wonderful to play for Flamengo, I matured a lot. I hope to end my career in Brazil and, preferably, at Flamengo, because Flamengo is Flamengo!" said the player.
