— We focus a lot on ourselves, that's what Gustavo asks, both defensively and offensively. We know the biggest objective, which is to be in the final, to be able to compete for another title. We are working on improving our game, without worrying so much about the opponent that will come, no matter the level of difficulty they present. Everyone who comes to the playoff is more focused and committed, so we have to be very careful —, said guard Gabriel Jaú.
— I think Flamengo played the series very well 80% of the time, we had a bad last quarter against Botafogo away. Congratulations to the team, now the focus is total on the quarterfinals. Both Fortaleza and São José are great teams, they play very hard —, highlighted Gustavinho.
Flamengo dominated the actions against Botafogo. In the first period, the red-and-black team scored 23 to 8. Despite the rival's improvement, Orgulho da Nação practically repeated it and scored 24 to 13 in the second, going into the break with a score of 47 to 21.
After the break, Botafogo grew in performance, but it was not enough to take away the large red-black advantage. At the break, the rivals won 17 to 15. Finally, in the fourth quarter, another triumph, now 18 to 16. However, Orgulho da Nação ended the match with a 22-point lead.

Flamengo will continue to count on the leadership of Sergio “Oveja” Hernandez as head coach of the basketball team. The experienced Argentine coach renewed his contract with the club for the 2025/26 season, after having been a key player in winning the Basketball Champions League Americas (BCLA), in his first stint with the team.
Hernandez, who built a successful career leading the Argentine national team and traditional clubs in South America, quickly gained the trust of the team and the red-black fans. Under his leadership, the Mais Querido won the continental championship three times , reinforcing its position as one of the biggest powers in South American basketball.
FLABASQUETE WILL COMPETE IN INTERCLUB WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
The continuity of Oveja Hernandez comes at a strategic moment, as Mengão has one of the most important commitments of the season ahead: the FIBA Intercontinental Basketball Cup. The tournament will be played in Singapore, and is scheduled to take place between mid and late September 2025. Confirmation of the official dates still depends on the definition of the world's highest basketball entity.
Flamengo secured a spot in the tournament after winning the 2024-25 edition of the BCLA , once again ensuring its presence among the best clubs in the world. The Rio de Janeiro team will be looking for its third title in the intercontinental competition, in a scenario that could further crown the work of the Argentine coach.
CONTRACT RENEWAL REINFORCES COMMITMENT
With the renewal of Sergio Hernandez , the club reaffirms its commitment to a solid and high-performance sports project . The coach's retention aims to consolidate an even more competitive team, prepared for the national and international challenges that lie ahead.

Flabasquete advances to close with Corinthians' highlight
With the departure of veterans such as Jordan Williams, Balbi and Shaq Johnson, Flamengo is betting on younger and more experienced names internationally

Flamengo is beginning to chart a new course for its basketball team. Amidst the restructuring, the club has begun a process of rejuvenation, making room for players with more stamina and international experience. So far, important departures such as that of American Jordan Williams and the trio formed by Franco Balbi, Tayavek Gallizzi and Shaquille Johnson have already been confirmed or are in the final stages of definition.
According to information from the Garrafão Rubro-Negro portal, which specializes in covering the Mais Querido on the courts , the board is already looking to replace Shaq Johnson: Daniel Onwenu, a point guard who played for Corinthians and has recent experience outside Brazil. Negotiations are said to be at an advanced stage.
DANIEL ONWENU IS THE MAIN TARGET
Daniel Onwenu, 22, emerged on the national scene during the 2020/21 season playing for Paulistano. After two seasons with the São Paulo club, the player transferred to Corinthians, where he played 33 games in his first year, averaging 5.4 points , one assist and 1.9 rebounds per game. The following year, his numbers improved: 7.6 points, 0.9 assists and four rebounds per game, in 38 matches.
In the most recent season, the athlete had his first international experience playing for Mexico City Capitanes . With this experience, the expectation is that Onwenu can return to Brazil more mature, ready to face the challenges of Mengão, especially due to the familiarity with the pressure of large crowds, acquired during his time at Corinthians — even though the Nação Rubro-Negra is considered unique in its intensity.
FLABASQUETE IS KEEPING AN EYE ON THE ARGENTINE
Another name that has emerged as a target for Flamengo 's board is Argentine Franco Baralle, currently at Minas. With Balbi's imminent departure, Baralle should take over the rotation in the midfield alongside Alexey , another standout player in the current squad. The arrival of the two players fits into the project of coach Sergio Hernández, Oveja, who is looking to give the team a new look without giving up on competitiveness.
