Mark your calendars: on October 17th, Flamengo will be the first Brazilian basketball team to host an NBA team for a game in Brazil. At the Global Games Rio 2015, the Pride of the Nation will face the Orlando Magic again, after their first encounter in Florida during the 2014 NBA preseason. For Flamengo's point guard Gegê, it's a chance for FlaBasquete to make history once more.
"For any home game, our expectations always have to be positive. We'll be playing in front of our fans, and the opponent isn't a complete novelty for us anymore; we've faced them before. We have to go in prepared; we know their level, but we also know ours. With our fans, we'll do our best, and Orlando will feel the weight of Flamengo's support, which has always motivated and helped us, and this time will be no different. We want to play a great game and maybe make history with a victory," said the number 19.
in the first match between the Brazilian and American teams, at the Amway CenterThe game was evenly matched on the court. With a great performance from Marcelinho, who was precise with his three-pointers, Flamengo lost 106-88, but put on a good show for the many Flamengo fans in the arena.
In another very memorable moment in the multi-championship history of the club's basketball team, the Intercontinental Cup final in two games in Rio de Janeiro, the Maccabi Tel Aviv players left the court impressed by the way the passionate Flamengo fans cheered, filling the HSBC Arena. This time, Gegê hopes that, once again, the Nation will make the difference and push the team to victory.
"Our fans will send the message. I ask that the Nation support us as they always do on October 17th. Let's show them the weight of Flamengo and what you are capable of doing in the stands. Just like in the Club World Cup, where you helped us become champions, support us in the pursuit of this historic victory," he urged.
