Last Saturday, the 4th, the exciting edition of the Pan American Games came to an end, a sporting event that mobilizes athletes and fans from all over America. Brazil had reason to celebrate, as it won the bronze medal in men's basketball, a notable achievement for the national sport. However, the news brings a shadow of concern for Flamengo fans, as two important members of the team, Didi Louzada and Scott Machado, were unable to compete for the podium, which could complicate FlaBasquete's journey in Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB).
Didi Louzada, one of the team's highlights, suffered a slight sprain in her right ankle during the clash against Puerto Rico, in the last round of the group stage. This injury prevented him from participating in both the semi-final and the bronze game. However, there is a certain relief, as the athlete has been undergoing intensive treatments since the time of the injury, which raises hopes for his speedy recovery.
Scott Machado's situation, on the other hand, It is a cause for great concern for Flamengo and its fans. According to information from journalist Enéas Lima, the shipowner suffered a probable fracture in his foot. New tests will be carried out in Rio de Janeiro to confirm the severity of the injury. If the fracture is confirmed, the red and black board must take measures to make up for the player's absence, either through signings or using other athletes from the squad.
News that may bring some relief in the midst of These concerns are due to the fact that, according to Enéas, the athletes from the men's basketball team who participated in the Pan American Games were covered by insurance. This means that the insurance will cover Scott Machado's salary during the period in which he is out due to injury, which could help minimize the financial impacts of this absence.
Despite the casualties of Didi Louzada and Scott Machado, Flamengo will be able to count on the return of other important players, such as Gui Deodato, Gabriel Jaú, Maique and coach Gustavo De Conti, who will certainly play a fundamental role in the continuation of the season. The situation becomes even more urgent when we look at Flamengo's NBB calendar. After a period of break due to the participation of some of its players in the Pan-American Championship, Flamengo will return to the court this Tuesday, the 7th, to face Botafogo at Maracanãzinho. Coach Gustavo De Conti will have to deal with the absence of Scott Machado and, most likely, Didi Louzada. These absences represent an additional challenge, as both players play crucial roles in the team and are frequently used in matches.
After the clash against Botafogo, Flamengo will face Vasco next Thursday, on the 9th, with command from the Cruzmaltino field. The team's return to the NBB after participating in the Pan-American Championships marks the beginning of a series of games for the national competition. It is a crucial moment for FlaBasquete, as any fluctuation in the team's performance could affect its overall performance in the tournament.
In summary, Flamengo won bronze in men's basketball at the Pan American Games, but the injury Didi Louzada and Scott Machado's possible fracture raise concerns about the team's performance in the NBB. Didi Louzada's recovery is promising, while Flamengo awaits the results of Scott Machado's tests to determine the measures to be taken. The insurance company that supported the national team's players at the Pan-American Games helps alleviate the financial impacts of Scott Machado's injury. Flamengo will have to deal with important absences in the next NBB games, which makes these matches a crucial challenge for the team.
