00:00Anthony, how does it feel to be here in the Philippines representing Zambuang Cavalientes?
00:12Hot, first of all, but you know just being with the guys here, welcoming with open arms,
00:19adjusting fast but you know I feel like we'll have a pretty good chance,
00:24pretty good odds to go over there and win.
00:26Having that overseas experience, what are the other things that you want to see to the team with your help?
00:35You know just playing hard every time, getting the guys to play hard too and knowing the situation,
00:42you know if we're up, knowing when to slow down and knowing when to push the pace,
00:47again no pressure when we're over there, we just got to go out there and play basketball.
00:52You mentioned earlier that it's hot, how are you adapting so far?
00:57My background is Jamaican so it's pretty hot over there too but here it's humid you know,
01:02so every practice I'm just sweating a whole lot, losing a lot of weight so I'm happy with that.
01:08Is this your first time in the Philippines?
01:11No, my second, I think the first time was 2016 for Olympic qualifiers with Team Canada.
01:18How is it so far in your second visit?
01:20I haven't really been doing much, just been a lot of basketball, same with the first trip.
01:26But you know just getting to know all these guys on the team as well, you know different atmosphere,
01:32you know different culture, you know just coming out here and just showing what I got.
01:37Any of the players that stood out for you, maybe just their number since you both?
01:44First practice I'll say Terrence Romeo, pretty fast.
01:48I'll say that, you know I'm happy to have him on the team hopefully, you know he can show out and do what he got to do.
02:18The family, too.
02:28There are more Danielbijos in the country, includingứng casey-based people.
02:30Later guys of January want to say 30 to 60.
02:31This all series as well.
02:39I'm having a grip on that style, too.
02:41There it is as well, always.
