Last Thursday (3), Flamengo won for the third consecutive time in the NBB by beating São Paulo 105 to 86, at Maracanãzinho. The highlight of the match and the highest scorer of the night, point guard Alexey celebrated the positive result and, with an eye on the playoffs, highlighted the importance of the team finishing the first phase well.
It was a great victory, we need to keep adding to stay in the best possible position.
From the second half onwards, we managed to set the pace we wanted, we had a strong defense and many counterattacks. We had a greater rotation, which helped us, and we had a good use of three-pointers, which helped a lot. It was a great victory, we need to keep adding to it to stay in the best possible position, to make it to the playoffs ”, assessed Alexey after the end of the match.
The Mais Querido is in second place in the NBB standings. In total, they have 53 points and a 76.6% success rate in 30 rounds (23 wins and 7 losses) . It is worth remembering that there are four rounds left until the end of the tournament, and Rubro-Negro still has a chance of taking the lead from Minas, but it depends on a combination of results from three rounds.
The most likely scenario currently is for the Pride of the Nation to secure second place overall for the playoffs . A position that will pit them against the 15th-place team in the round of 16 and guarantee them the right to decide the best-of-five series at home.
However, Flamengo still runs the risk of losing its position to Franca in the final rounds. This is because the São Paulo team is in third place and is one point behind in the table. The teams will face each other in the final round, at the home of the São Paulo team, but Rubro-Negro will qualify if they win the next three matches.
