Right in the First Quarter, Flamengo Scored an Incredible 32 to 6 Against Franca

WANTED: WHO CAN STOP FLAMENGO IN THE NBB? This Wednesday (12), a strong contender tried, but it wasn’t enough. Winner of the last four national championships, Franca was run over by the Pride of the Nation, losing 86 to 72. Notably, the match took place at Ginásio Pedrocão, in the interior of São Paulo.

With this result, Flamengo remains undefeated in the Novo Basquete Brasil, with nine wins in nine games, being the only unbeaten team in the competition. On the other hand, Franca suffered its third loss in nine rounds.

HOW WAS THE FLAMENGO VS. FRANCA GAME?

Flamengo ‘ended’ the game right from the start. In the first ten minutes, the Pride of the Nation scored 32 to 6, practically deciding the match. The Ginásio Pedrocão, usually a ‘pressure cooker’, quickly cooled down with the show put on by coach Sergio ‘Oveja’ Hernández’s squad.

The Franca team, which features stars like David Jackson, Lucas Dias, and Cristiano Felício, couldn’t find Alexey, Negrete, and Wesley. In the second quarter, the team from São Paulo managed to play a more balanced game and won the period by two points (19 to 17). But that was it.

In the third quarter, the red-black party resumed. With a true show of baskets and assists from point guard Alexey, Flamengo pulled ahead again, leaving the score for the period at 22 to 13.

In the final quarter, Flamengo eased up, coach Sergio Hernández gave some minutes to the younger players, and the NBB leader just managed the result, with Franca cutting down the difference, which had reached 34 points. But nothing could spoil the red-black celebration. A gigantic victory for the Pride of the Nation right at Ginásio Pedrocão!

WHEN IS FLAMENGO’S NEXT GAME IN THE NBB?

On a roll and leading alone, Flamengo will go after its tenth win in the NBB next Saturday (15), against Paulistano, again in São Paulo, at Ginásio Antônio Prado Júnior. Tip-off is at 5 p.m. (Brasília time), with coverage from Coluna do Fla.
