Playing its second consecutive home game, FlaBasquete faces Uberlândia this Thursday (05.02), at 20 pm, in a match valid for the 21st round of the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB). After playing a great game against Minas, last Tuesday (03.02), Rubro-Negro returns to Tijuca Tênis Clube to narrow the gap to the leaders and continue the good moment in the competition.

Currently occupying fourth place in the national standings, the Pride of the Nation continues in the competition seeking to firmly establish itself among the top teams and secure its place in the playoffs. To this end, Flamengo is relying on one of its greatest strengths: the strength of its squad. 

One of the standout players from the match against Minas, Vítor Benite, spoke precisely about the importance of staying focused and continuing to work as a team. "It's good to win again and feel like the team performed well, but we don't have much to celebrate. This Thursday, we have another tough game coming up, against Uberlândia, and we need to go in even more focused. To achieve this, we depend much more on the collective than on good individual form," said the point guard.

Flamengo faces the 13th-place team in the NBB, which is coming off a loss to Basquete Cearense in the last round. Despite this, the Rubro-Negro team shouldn't have an easy time. To beat its next opponent, FlaBasquete is counting on the support of the Nação Rubro-Negra (Red-Black Nation) to push the team towards victory against Uberlândia.
