Kayo Gonçalves is FlaBasquete's newest reinforcement for next season. Born in Palhoça, Santa Catarina, the 25-year-old athlete was one of the highlights of Flamengo in the last Champions League Americas, where he played a crucial role in the competition.
Kayo arrived at Flamengo at a young age, standing out in the youth categories. After playing college basketball in the United States and Europe, he made his debut with Mais Querido's professional team in December last year. His entry was marked by the absence of his idol Olivinha, who was recovering from a dislocated shoulder. After two months of recovery, Olivinha returned, and Kayo was temporarily removed from the national squad due to the adult limit.
However, the pivot remained in the team for the Champions League Americas dispute, where he had one of the team's greatest performances in the tournament against Obras, from Argentina. Kayo scored 28 points with 100% shooting from the field in the first game of the BCLA quarterfinals, helping Flamengo reaching the continent's Final Four.
< p>MESSAGE FROM THE ATHLETE
Back at Flamengo permanently, Kayo Gonçalves sent a message to the red and black fans: "Nation, we are together this next season! Let's work hard hard, with a lot of desire, a lot of determination to bring titles and a lot of pride for you. You can count on me", said the pivot.
CAST CONFIRMED.
Kayo joins other reinforcements confirmed for next season, including Franco Balbi, Alexey Borges, Shaq Johnson, Gui Deodato, Jordan Williams and Jhonatan Luz. With these additions, FlaBasquete is preparing for a promising season full of challenges on the national and international scene.

Flamengo secured another victory in the Clássico dos Milhões for the Novo Basquete Brasil (NBB), defeating Vasco by 84 to 78. After seeing their rival dominate the first half, the Rubro-Negro reacted in the second half of the game, especially in the third quarter, when they made it 29 to 15. One of the protagonists of the comeback, point guard Alexey had a decisive performance, recording a double-double with 22 points and 12 assists.
“The change in attitude we had between half-time and the second half was very important. We came back with a lot of energy, aggressiveness in defense and confidence in attack. All of this helped us come out with the victory,” Alexey highlighted after the game.
ALEXEY CELEBRATES HIS TENTH CONSECUTIVE CLASSIC WIN
In addition to another triumph in the NBB, the victory marked Flamengo's 10th consecutive victory over Vasco. The point guard, who was a key player in the match, highlighted the importance of winning games of this level, which move the fans.
“It’s always very important to win games, especially a derby. I think it’s the kind of game that the fans like the most. I don’t want to talk about the opposing team, because I don’t think it’s worth it. So the most important thing today was our change of attitude. They played a better first half than us, but we managed to outdo them in the second and secured the victory,” said Alexey.
FLAMENGO'S REACTION DURING THE GAME
Vasco started the game with more momentum and led the score until halftime. However, after the break, Flamengo came back with a more aggressive stance and managed to turn the game around in the third quarter. According to Alexey, the performance in the second half of the game was what guaranteed the positive result.
“We knew we needed to come back more intense and take better advantage of our opportunities. We were able to increase the pace, defend well and attack more efficiently. This change made all the difference for us to leave the court with the victory,” analyzed the point guard.
With the victory in the classic, Mais Querido maintains its good moment in the competition and remains strong in the fight for the top positions in the NBB. Vasco, which now has a difficult sequence against Paulistano, Minas, Brasília, Franca and Bauru, seeks a reaction to guarantee a place in the playoffs.
