With 28 points, Shaq Johnson was decisive in keeping Flamengo in second place in the NBB. The victory puts the team just two points behind leader Minas and keeps Rubro-Negro in the fight for leadership of the competition. Now, the team goes into recess and will only return to the courts in the second week of January.
Shaq highlighted the importance of Flamengo in the championship and reinforced the focus on a solid campaign in the playoffs. “ We want to continue fighting at the top. The goal is to get the best place for this season's playoffs,” said the player in an interview with Fla TV. After a defeat to São José in the previous round, Shaq Johnson revealed the team's work to improve on the court.
FLAMENGO CONTINUES IN GOOD PHASE
“ We knew we needed to be more aggressive, both in defense and attack. Many players encouraged me to be more decisive, and I'm trying to help the team more in all aspects: defense, rebounding and scoring”, he explained. Flamengo will still play 15 matches in the first phase of the NBB in 2025. Securing a position among the leaders is crucial to face the 16th placed team in the round of 16, repeating the 2023 scenario, when the team topped the table and faced Botafogo in the opening of the playoffs.
COMMITMENT IN THE SEASON
Flamengo's first commitment in 2025 will be in the second window of the Champions League Americas. Current leader of group B, which includes Boca Juniors (ARG) and Toros de Chiriquí (PAN), the team will have three consecutive matches in Panama between the 12th and 14th of January. Shaq Johnson, who has already scored 32 points in a game this season, is a key player in the red and black squad. His consistent performance reinforces Flamengo's potential in the fight for the NBB title and in the Champions League Americas campaign.

The break in competitions will be essential for Flamengo to adjust its strategy. The team seeks to consolidate its playing style and correct flaws observed in specific defeats. So far, Flamengo has won important victories and has a solid defense, factors that will be decisive in the final stages of the NBB. The team also maintains one of the best offensive performances in the championship.
Mengão wants to broadcast the tournament to its fans on YouTube, but there is still no official decision with the organizing entity.
