In the intense heat of Maracanãzinho, Flamengo consolidated its position among the four best teams in Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB) in a heated clash against Cerrado. In an environment marked by sweat and setbacks in the court's air conditioning, the Hungarian Filipovity stood out as the fundamental protagonist who led the red and black to yet another expressive victory, ending the match with a convincing score of 89 to 71.
The game started with Cerrado, representing Brasília, demonstrating efficiency by alternating baskets in a balanced way with the red-black team. This dynamic irritated Flamengo's coach, who promptly requested the first timeout in the match. However, the consistent performance of Didi and Filipovity allowed the red and black team to close the first quarter ahead, holding a small advantage on the scoreboard.
In the second quarter, the intensity of the heat in the gym affected both teams, resulting in a reduction in the use of shots. Gui Santos, from Cerrado, proved to be the most efficient player, while Filipovity's regularity allowed Flamengo to manage their advantage, taking them to the locker room with a comfortable lead. The return of the break saw both teams recovering their good shooting performance. Cerrado presented an excellent performance in three-point shots, reducing the deficit on the scoreboard.
Flamengo, in turn, counted on points from Gabriel Jaú and Filipovity to maintain their lead, preparing the ground for the decisive fourth. In the fourth quarter, the effort exerted by Cerrado to react in the third quarter resulted in significant physical exhaustion, allowing Flamengo to punish the Brasilia team's defense. With outstanding contributions from Gabriel Jaú, Maique and Martin Cuello, Flamengo achieved a more comfortable victory, consolidating its position among the NBB leaders this season.

Flamengo makes its World Cup debut this Thursday (18), at 6 am (Brasília time), facing the NBA G-League United team, from the United States. The match will be broadcast on Flamengo TV . The red-black nation is eager to follow the team in its quest for its third world championship , which could once again put Flamengo basketball at the top of the global stage.
