This past Saturday morning (1), Flamengo was beaten by Franca 69 to 56, in game one of the series of five in the NBB final. Playing in front of more than six thousand people at Maracanãzinho, Orgulho da Nação failed to score 60 points in four quarters and will need to win at least one goal at Pedrocão to stay alive.
However, Mais Querido will have to overcome a poor record. very good. This is because, in nine finals that the team has played since the creation of the NBB, in the 2008/2009 season, the team has never managed to become champion after losing the first game. In other words, the title for the 2023/24 season will have to be lifted with an unprecedented feat.
Rubro-Negro is the most winning team in the NBB, with seven titles in nine finals in 14 seasons. The two defeats came to Lobos Brasília (2009/2010) and Franca (2021/22). On the first occasion, in a best-of-five series, Mais Querido won the first match at home, but took the upset.
In 2021/22, the team went to the Pedrocão gymnasium and lost the first match of the best series of five by 85 to 79. That year, Mais Querido was unable to recover and saw the title slip away 3 to 1 in the series.
DEFEAT DUE TO LACK OF RHYTHM?O Mais Querido faced Franca this Saturday (1) after spending eight days without taking the court, as the São Paulo team would still play game five against Minas in the NBB semifinal. Thus, the time without acting may have harmed the team that had a long sequence of matches.
The Mais Querido ace also highlighted that the team will try to "continue" the legacy left by the idol
