By press office - in
Flamengo returned to winning ways in the NBB. And the Red-Black team didn't just win. They put on a show. Against Assis in São Paulo, the two-time Brazilian champions showed that Friday's (March 26.03) loss to Bauru is in the past, scoring a 95-60 victory. With the result, the team led by coach Chupeta is once again tied with Brasília for first place, but loses on tiebreakers.
Flamengo's next match will be against Minas Gerais, next Friday (02.04). If they win, the Red-Blacks will already secure second place in the qualifying phase and still have a chance of finishing first. To achieve this, they would only need to beat Brasília in the final round of the first stage of the championship.
Stung by Friday's defeat, Flamengo came out to kill the game from the start. In the first quarter, the Red-Blacks took a 25-point lead and gave Assis no chance to react throughout the game. In the final quarter, even with the São Paulo team already "thrown in the towel," the Rio de Janeiro team's players didn't slow down. The result: a great performance and plenty of excitement for the rest of the championship.
One of the highlights of the match, point guard Hélio left the court proud of the performance of all Flamengo players.
"I really liked the team's attitude. We met before the game and talked. We needed to make a change, to change our attitude, and that's what happened. The loss to Bauru served as a catalyst for that. Everyone took to the court today, and the team's will remained strong throughout the match. We're on the right track and we're already thinking about Minas Gerais," said Hélio.
Winger Marcelinho was Flamengo's top scorer with 30 points, but was rested by Chupeta. In fact, this was one of the positives of the match, in the Flamengo coach's opinion.
"I thought the match would be more difficult. In fact, it was the players who made it easier, and they performed incredibly well. We maintained our rhythm throughout, and this proves that the team reacts automatically to a defeat. We lost to Bauru and changed our identity and our attitude. Another very important thing was giving Marcelo some rest and giving all the players some rhythm," Chupeta analyzed.
For one Flamengo player, the victory was even more special. Power forward Jefferson celebrates his birthday this Monday (29.03/XNUMX) and already celebrated this Sunday.
"Today's victory was a great gift for me. I'm returning to the team after an injury and we achieved another good result. It was special," concluded the athlete, who turns 27.
