Flamengo will not reach the NBB finals for the first time since the 2017-2018 season. The information was stamped after Mengão lost game 3 of the NBB semi-finals against São Paulo, losing the series 3-0.
The meeting was played yesterday (17), at the Morumbi gym and ended 72-69 to São Paulo. The first quarter was dominated by Flamengo, finishing 19-27, São Paulo responded in the 2nd quarter, winning this period 20-11 and going into the break 39-38 with an advantage. The 3rd quarter went to Paulistas also winning 15-11. In the last quarter Flamengo still tried to react, reaching just 1 point behind São Paulo, despite this and having won the quarter by 20-18 it was not enough to avoid elimination.
The result is surprising if we consider that in the regular season Flamengo had 28 wins and 4 losses, thus guaranteeing 2nd place, and São Paulo had only 22 wins and 10 losses.
Current Champions League Americas champion Flamengo is banking on a strengthened squad to win its third world title, following its triumphs in 2014 and 2022.

FlaBasquete, the current Champions League Americas champion, begins its quest for a third world championship this Thursday (18). With titles won in 2014 and 2022, the red-black team arrives at the 2025/26 season with the clear objective of repeating the feat in Singapore and consolidating itself as a global basketball powerhouse.
To achieve this goal, Flamengo formed a revamped squad, blending experienced players with promising young talents who embody the club's winning DNA. Argentine coach Sérgio Hernández, known as "Oveja," took over the team midway through last season and has already won the Champions League Americas.
FlaBasquete invested heavily to strengthen its roster. Among the reinforcements are Daniel Onwenu (formerly of Corinthians), Argentine Franco Baralle (formerly of Pinheiros), Wesley Castro, and Eric Buckner . The arrival of Dee Bost, an American point guard who became a naturalized Bulgarian, was a response to Baralle's injury, as he suffered an accident and will be out for the season.
With experience and versatility, Bost arrives to be a leader in decisive moments . Despite the departures of key players like Franco Balbi and Gallizzi, expectations are high for the team's performance at the World Cup.
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.
Mengão wants to broadcast the tournament to its fans on YouTube, but there is still no official decision with the organizing entity.
