00:00 [upbeat music]
00:01 - I thought, you know, we wanted to win
00:03 and I thought we came out and played really well.
00:04 And you know, we did great things in the second half.
00:06 That's what we got at SSW.
00:07 You know, getting the job done.
00:08 I think that we did a great job today as a team
00:10 and found a way to win.
00:11 Andres and everybody down the line was amazing.
00:13 This is a great team win.
00:14 Feels good to know that we got two under our belt.
00:16 We got another one still, Angola,
00:17 and we gotta keep fighting.
00:18 We gotta keep playing well.
00:19 This tournament is about wins.
00:21 You gotta get 'em all.
00:22 Just stay disciplined.
00:23 We just have to be more disciplined.
00:24 We had to make some shots
00:25 to finally start making 'em in the second half.
00:27 So it's really great, really great win.
00:29 - I thought we played a little harder.
00:31 I thought we played a little harder.
00:32 We stepped up our defense, made 'em miss.
00:34 They were making a lot of shots in the first half.
00:36 So did a great job finding ways to make 'em miss
00:38 and get the job done.
00:39 - I'm gonna keep shooting.
00:40 I'm gonna stay aggressive.
00:41 I'm never gonna stop being aggressive.
00:42 I know what this team needs from me.
00:43 So I'm gonna just keep being aggressive,
00:44 keep doing what I do and shoot or shoot.
00:46 So I'm gonna keep taking them shots
00:47 and I know they'll fall in the second half.
00:49 My team needed me to have a big third quarter.
00:51 Not only put us in the game, but to hopefully win it.
00:53 And I'm glad I was able to do my job.
00:54 I'm just, I'm adjusted to playing basketball.
00:56 So I just like playing basketball.
00:57 So I'm adjusted to whatever the game needs me to do
00:59 and I'm gonna make sure to do whatever I can
01:01 to get my country to win.
01:02 - It was fun.
01:03 It was great to meet a Filipino legend, a boxing legend.
01:05 I've known Manny for a while.
01:07 I was there at his training camp when he was fighting,
01:10 getting ready to fight Errol Spence.
01:11 Then obviously Ugas came in, 'cause Errol dropped out.
01:15 So I've known him for a while.
01:16 I've been able to see him in the ring personally
01:18 and then be with him in the training camp.
01:20 So it was really fun to get to catch up.
01:22 We haven't seen each other in a while.
01:23 - Oh, it definitely was a fight today.
01:25 They definitely put up a great fight, great team.
01:28 Amazing country.
01:29 So, you know, we had to do what we had to do to get a win
01:31 and I'm glad we were able to pull it off.
01:32 My confidence never wavers in our country.
01:34 I know we can do anything.
01:35 We've set our minds to it.
01:37 Just gotta put the work in.
01:38 And tonight I think you saw us put the work in.
01:40 And especially in the first half,
01:41 when things weren't going well for us offensively,
01:44 we found a way in the second half to get a goal.
01:45 Just gotta keep playing hard, keep playing together.
01:47 Just keep doing what we're doing.
01:49 It seems to be working these first two games.
01:50 I don't see any reason that we need to change our mindsets.
01:53 Our mindset's pretty good.
01:54 It's treated us pretty well.
01:55 - Super happy for us, man.
01:56 I can't even speak enough.
01:58 Our country's been yearning for these wins.
02:00 I'm glad that we're able to bring it to them.
02:02 - Just to be best version of ourselves.
02:03 He believes in us.
02:04 All he told us when we went in the back was, "I love you.
02:06 "I know you guys will find a way."
02:07 So we found a way and we found a way to reciprocate his love.
02:10 - Andres was amazing tonight.
02:11 You know, he was making shots.
02:12 He was hot.
02:13 Super hot in the first half.
02:14 You know, he's still hot in the second.
02:15 I think we all did a great job contributing to this win
02:18 and doing amazing.
02:19 - I'm done.
02:20 - He's bottom line.
02:21 [laughing]
02:23 - You made it stop.
02:24 - The Federation, Italy have history, you know?
02:27 Italy is Italy.
02:28 Today, basketball, you know, A-list.
02:30 And we are very happy for our,
02:32 this is one step up for our dreams.
