After returning to victory against Uberlândia, Flamengo heads to the Federal District to face Brasília this Thursday at 21 p.m. In a season marked by record victories, the team could see one of its players break a personal best. Winger Marquinhos is about to reach 500 points this season.

He's only seven conversions away, a small feat for someone who's top scorer in several games. Even so, Marquinhos avoids the individual aspect and values ​​the collective aspect that the numbers represent.

"I'm very happy with this achievement, especially because it reflects the daily hard work the group has put in. I wouldn't have been able to achieve this if the squad hadn't been united and if we hadn't accepted Flamengo's work proposal this season. One player alone can't face an entire team, so I thank everyone involved in the team for helping me achieve this record," the winger emphasized.

The match will be broadcast on SporTV. With the support of the local red-and-black fans, coach José Neto's team needs a win to maintain its three-game lead in the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB).
