Flamengo's under-22 basketball team is close to the final octagonal of the Basketball Development League (LDB). This Thursday, the current champions dominated the game against Grêmio Náutico União (RS) throughout all quarters and won by a large margin: 97 to 54. Five Flamengo players scored ten or more points in the game: center Gigante (17), power forward Yago, forward Rodrigo (12), center Fernando (11) and point guard Caique (10).
Paulo Chupeta's team showed defensive strength on the court and, even without Felício and Chupeta, who left Belo Horizonte to join the senior team in preparation for the Liga das Américas semifinals, managed to open up a 43-point lead. "It was the defense that allowed us to open up a good advantage at the beginning. (Paulo) Chupeta demanded a lot from us in this regard, because our defense was not good at all against Minas. The victory was very important, especially since we are at the end of this stage and any victory becomes more than essential," said Flamengo's point guard Danielzinho, who scored seven points and had six assists.

The start of the game was choppy, but gradually Flamengo loosened up and increased their lead. With a good performance from forward Rodrigo, the red-and-black team finished the first quarter with a ten-point advantage and a score of 19 to 9. The defense of the "Mais Querido" (Most Beloved) continued to perform very well in the second period. Centers Gigante and Fernando dominated the paint, scoring 12 and seven points, respectively. The red-and-blacks went into halftime winning 48 to 19.
Flamengo's dominance continued in the second half. The 30-point difference reached 40 in the final periods, and the team from Rio Grande do Sul couldn't overcome their strength on the court. Taking advantage of many counter-attacks, Flamengo finished the game with a 97-54 score and is very close to the next phase of the competition.
