Flamengo faced an arduous journey in the final of the Champions League of the Americas Basketball, culminating in a defeat to Quimsa by 92 to 80. The clash, held this Sunday (14) at the Ciudad Stadium, in Santiago del Estero, Argentina , saw the Argentine team claim victory and leave Flamengo with the bitter taste of runner-up.
From the first minutes, the Brazilian team found it difficult to impose their game against a determined and aggressive Quimsa. The first quarter was a harbinger of things to come, with the Argentines opening up a significant lead of 16 points, finishing 28 to 12.
HOW THE GAME WAS LIKEThe second quarter saw Quimsa's persistence, with Flamengo struggling to contain the opponent's momentum. The difference in the score widened even further, reaching 20 points at times. Quimsa's dominance was not only reflected in the score, but also in the efficiency of the shots. While the Cariocas struggled to convert three-point balls, Quimsa demonstrated precision, with a 67% success rate compared to Flamengo's 22%.
Faced with this challenging scenario, Flamengo's coach and players they faced a tactical crossroads. The strategy of insisting on three-pointers, despite its low effectiveness, proved to be a questionable but understandable choice in the desperate search for a turnaround in the score.
The second half of the game witnessed an emotional battle for the Flamengo, as they tried to recover from the disadvantage. Despite flashes of individual skill and moments of resilience, the consistency needed to turn things around slipped away from them.
